Hope eyes new tax exemption program Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Property owners who undertake significant improvements to their industrial or commercial buildings may soon be eligible for a tax break. Hope council discussed the idea of adopting a revitalization tax exemption program to encourage new investment in designated areas during a committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday. The goal is to create economic activity in Hope that will provide jobs for local residents and provide incentives for new residents to move to the community. “It’s more a message of being business friendly,” said Coun. Scott Medlock. “The intent is not to get your full investment back, but rather a way for you to save some money.”
The Official Community Plan for the district identified commercial, industrial and downtown revitalization as a priority. In 2004, the Community Charter was introduced, offering a new revitalization tax exemption opportunity. AdvantageHOPE took the lead on the project this year and circulated the proposed bylaw for feedback. If passed, council will be able to enter into an agreement with property owners within the designated areas and upon issuance of an exemption certificate to the assessor, those improvements are exempt from a portion of municipal property value taxes for a period of seven to 10 years. Tax exemptions will only apply if there is a new improvement or alteration to an existing improvement. The minimum industrial/commercial new construction investment would
be set at $500,000, while the minimum industrial/commercial renovation, alternation, or facade investment would be $20,000. The minimum investment values for downtown commercial property would be the same. The maximum assessment exemption under the proposed bylaw would be the difference between the value of the land and improvement in the year prior to construction and the year in which the tax certificate first applies. As an example, a $20,000 exemption on 2013 rates would yield an estimated tax savings of $671.26 for light industry property and $529.01 for commercial. Coun. Donna Kropp supported the initiative, but raised concerns over the length of the program’s incentive and was in favour of lowering eligibility to five to seven years.

“This should be built in as an incentive not as a gift horse,” she said. “I think it should be there to provide the impetus for people to think ‘wow this is great, the district is in business for business, and we want that benefit.’ But if it’s dragging on and on, I don’t know if it’s got that same hammer as it did in the beginning.” Medlock, who was involved in some of the discussions with AdvantageHOPE during the bylaw drafting process, said the time frames were determined in order to remain competitive with neighbouring jurisdictions. The proposed revitalization tax exemption bylaw will be brought forward to council on Oct. 28 for approval of the first three readings. If adopted, the goal is to have the program in place for the next construction season.

laughter is the Best Medicine
Residents have one more chance to witness some hard-hitting action at the Sports Bowl this year. Hope Motorsports Group has decided to host it’s first ever night demolition derby on Oct. 26, coining the competition Pumpkin Smash. An event like this has been in the works for some time, but organizer Scott Medlock said it wasn’t until Jim Lasser provided street lights for the RCMP Musical Ride in September that it became a real possibility. “We’ve got what we need to do it now,” he said. “There’s a lot of people interested in it and there’s some cars running in the derby that are at the point of not good enough to compete in a whole derby but good enough to run another heat or two. A lot of people are interested in running a car now and getting one more use out of it.” The plan is to have two

Repairs on Coquihalla Highway Two projects are now underway to repair and improve a section of the Coquihalla Highway near Dry Gulch Bridge. Intermittent resurfacing will be done along 3.3 kilometres of highway, between the Box Canyon chain up area and Dry Gulch Bridge, and approximately 5.5 kilometres of wildlife fencing is being repaired or replaced between Dry Gulch and the Summit restrooms. Five one-way ungulate gates will also be repaired or replaced. “The Coquihalla is a very important transportation network and it is crucial that we keep it updated,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. “Continual improvement ensures that it remains a safe road, especially during the rough winter driving season.” These projects are slated to improve safety for all motorists using the Coquihalla and prepare the road for winter. The work is already underway and both projects are scheduled for completion in October.

“For someone such as myself, I never claim anything in this regard, and I shouldn’t, because I’ve got a very compact area,” said Dickey. “People such as director Adamson, obviously, are in a different situation. That’s why this (discretionary amount) was put in place.” The board of directors resolved to adopt a new travel expense policy that laid out guidelines of distances between the regional office and electoral district offices, reaffirmed that supporting documents are needed for all claims, approved an electronic tracking sheet for mileage, and abolished the topup credit of $5,000 for large areas. Chair Sharon Gaetz was pleased with the results. “It feels like today, the accountabilities are tightening,” she said. Chief Administrative Officer Paul Gipps remains confident that these policy changes mark a new era in FVRD accountability. “Their (the directors’) interpretation of what was allowed, and the board’s interpretation of what was allowed, was differing. I’d say that’s very clear now. It’s very clear to staff what we should accept and what we shouldn’t accept,” said Gipps. “I’m very comfortable in saying that the likelihood of this happening again is basically nil.”
Healthy Communities survey local students Jessica Peters Black Press
“How many times do you eat dinner at the table together with your family?” That’s just one of the questions students will be answering in an upcoming survey designed to find out about current local lifestyles. The survey based on the 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go concept of better living, and was developed by Hope and area Healthy Communities. The school board approved the survey unanimously at last week’s board meeting. Stan Watchorn, the district’s director of instruction, explained that the survey will ask basic questions about students’ lives and give health providers and
the school district an idea of what health barriers students are facing. The 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go program asks kids to eat five or more fruits and vegetables a day, limit themselves to two hours or less of recreational screen time, encourages one hour or more per day or physical activity and zero sugary drinks in favour of water and low fat milk.
University study The board also approved a second survey to be carried out this year, with two trustees opposed. Both Trustee Pat Furness and Trustee Linda McMullan both voted against bringing the Queen’s University Health Study to the
Fraser Cascade. “It’s just survey after survey,” Furness said. The survey looks
at the health status of young people across Canada, and will be given to students in

Directors at the Fraser Valley Regional District who failed to support some expenses during a recent audit must reimburse the district, the board of directors decided at the last meeting. This ruling will concern at least Area B director Dennis Adamson. Adamson underwent an audit earlier this year of his 2011 and 2012 expenses after failing to provide supporting documents for claims of $28,545 incurred in 2011. After the completion of the audit in July 2013, Adamson still had expenses of $1,545 that could not be explained. The regional district paid out all expenses to Adamson during the year they were incurred. At the FVRD board meeting on Sept. 25, Abbotsford municipal director John Smith moved that costs that couldn’t be justified through the audit be reimbursed back to FVRD. “We have to be totally transparent. We have to be held up to scrutiny, public scrutiny, and it may not be a huge amount to the size of the budget of the FVRD, but it’s the principle of the thing,” said Smith. Smith referred to the ongoing investigation of senator Pamela Wallin’s expenses. Wallin has already paid back over $140,000 to the government.
“The reality is, they paid it about cost of travel. Directors are reimbursed for back anyway. Maybe under protest, but they paid it back. travel at $0.52 per kilometre And I think that should be for scheduled meetings. On top of that, they can claim up done,” said Smith.

JENNA HAUCK / BLACK PRESS
Tara Peters, seen here with one-year-old daughter Layla Pearse, has witnessed racism her whole life.
But the difference between Peters and the other mom is that Peters’ skin doesn’t show her heritage. “Because of my caucasian appearance, because I am light skinned with auburn hair and hazel eyes, I was included in their little club,” she said. “It was sickening. What is going on in your head to think that that is okay to say?” For days after, Peters replayed the experience in her head over and over. She wished she had said something, had gone over and assisted the other mom, had stood up against the racist comments being thrown about so brazenly instead of averting her eyes to her daughter, her shoes, the rack of magazines, anywhere but at them. For years she’s been witness to those comments and has almost always let them slide. No more. “I’m sick of distancing myself from friends because of their racist comments and attitudes; I’m sick of being told that everyone should just get over it because what happened to aboriginal people in Canada was something that happened a long time ago,” she said, noting the last residential school closed in 1984, just four years after she was born. “Most of all, I’m sick of people looking at my loved ones and seeing nothing but

Tara Peters is standing up against racism in hopes her children won’t have to. While Peters, herself, has never had racism pointedly directed at her, hearing it still cuts her to the core. After 32 years, the last straw came last week. The young mom was standing in a grocery line with her 20-month-old daughter Layla. She was exhausted, as moms of toddlers tend to be, and was doing everything she could to hold her daughter at bay while they waited to pay for their groceries. A grandmotherly woman standing in front of Peters turned and started cooing at Layla, playing peak-aboo with her, asking questions, anything to help distract the curious toddler from pulling chocolate bars off the shelves. One aisle over, another mom of First Nations descent stood with her child, the same age and seeming curiosity as Layla. Peters, a knowing smile on her face, looked up at the woman still playing with her daughter, about to laugh that she wasn’t the only one. Instead, she faced a cold stare. The friendly grandmother was gone. “They just shouldn’t f**king breed,” she hissed. The man in front of the woman joined in, criticizing the aboriginal community for being lazy, having children they can’t afford or take care of, relying on their minority status. Peters was stunned silent. Her heart raced. She felt sweat glistening her skin. Peters, herself, is of First Nations descent, a member of the Chawathil band in Hope. She grew up on the reserve, she has a status card, her mom, Rhoda Peters, chief of the band, is a residential school survivor.
issues when the very cause of those issues is that air of condemnation that allowed the Indian Act to come to pass.” Racist remarks don’t show the love, support, and care of the aboriginal community, she said. “Despite everything that has happened, despite the every day challenges, and heartache, and discrimination, we still have pride in our family, our people, our community, and our land,” she said. “I have experienced other cultures and other peoples, but I have yet to come across anyone who is so free

Higher speed, higher risk Lead foots and left-lane campers, the province wants to hear from you. The B.C. government is reviewing speed limits for long stretches of highway, and Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants your feedback on how fast is fast enough. The review is not supposed to be about increasing speed limits, but ensuring the province has the correct speed limits in place. Stone, who sees the Coquihalla as a likely candidate for a speed-limit adjustment, says the goal is to ensure those who travel B.C.’s rural highways are able to do so as safely and efficiently as possible. Sounds good. And no doubt, those 110 km/hr signs along the Coquihalla are already being interpreted by many a driver as 120 km/hr. In fact, it’s a safe bet that whatever the decided upon speed limit is, drivers will round up by 10. The big question mark here is those behind the wheel. Cars may be better constructed, but drivers – not necessarily so. Case in point, according to ICBC, distracted driving – typically fiddling with gadgets while driving – is the cause of about one-quarter of all traffic fatalities in the province. Do you want people texting while doing 130 km/hr into the Great Bear Snowshed? Speaking of cell phones, travel the Coquihalla in winter and you’re certain to see SUVs ditched on the side of the road, their drivers out in the snow on the phone, presumably trying to contact roadside assistance. One of the hazards of not driving to conditions. Which leads us to hope that if speed limits are increased, highway traffic enforcement resources follow suit. - Black Press
‘Social justice’ as student indoctrination B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in
ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned. Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed antibullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view

of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.” Leaving aside whether eightyear-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike
Standard
is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Al-

ternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

Governments need to stop ignoring Hope As you travel from the West Coast to the rest of Canada, one has to travel through a little town called Hope. Hope is the hub to every major highway in British Columbia. Hope has so much to offer, too bad the citizens, city hall, and the business of this little town have no hope. The economic downturn of this little town started with the rebuilding of the Coquihalla and its toll booths. The provincial and federal governments give little to no help to this struggling town, even though they are the main cause of the towns demise and have yet to ac-
knowledge their part in this downturn. I have lived here for four months now and have seen more shops close than I have seen new businesses open. The empty shops, commercial real estate and housing for sale signs accumulate more and more on a regular basis. I have talked with people who have had their homes on the market for two years without an offer, business real estate has been stagnant, standing empty for years. So many citizens have to travel quite a distance to earn an income and the people who can not afford a vehicle or can not drive are becoming poorer as
there is relatively nowhere to work in this town. The federal government has completely ignored Canada’s major highway in this area. I have literally had to avoid pot holes bigger than my tires on this highway. Why does the federal government not take pride in Canada’s Highway 1? Is it because it is not in Ontario? What interest do our federal and provincial governments have in this little town? Do they care about the citizens of this province and country? I think not. I believe they have completely ignored this beautiful town that should be and
It’s time to change to way we’re governed in Canada the government in the good old U.S.A. speaks volumes of the party politics. Here in Canada, our elected and non-elected politicians are walking the slim line of being outright criminals or not getting caught yet. It has become real obvious to people like myself and Mr. Thomsen that the only time the population of Canada is important to our political leaders is the promise-making time of our elections. I just hope that there is some wannabe politicians who are sick and tired of the way we are ma-
nipulated by of our lemmings we have elected to lead us into our future. The present system of living, cheating and outright corruption in our governments can’t continue simply because the population is getting too smart to let the corrupt politicians keep going the path they have chosen. After all, there are a hell of a lot of ordinary folks around then there are politicians. Something just has to change the way we are governed. Eric Holopainen
Drivers need to slow down Is there a purpose for the crosswalk at the Kawkawa Lake Bridge? Everyday I walk and when it is time to crossover I stand there waiting as vehicle after vehicle roar across the bridge not even noticing that I am trying to cross.
Last Thursday was the ultimate experience, as I was halfway across, a truck roared behind me. The four-way stop has not slowed any traffic down as it comes over the bridge. It would be so kind if some drivers could give us the opportuni-
ty to use the crosswalk that was placed there
for a purpose. Sharen Hart

Re: Colonial rule raises its ugly head again, Letters (Oct. 10) I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Thomsen’s letter. Our present political party system makes it impossible to make democratic governments. As I take my daily dose of the Global BC news, it becomes very clear that our politicians are not transparent or trustworthy. When I look at the situation in Syria and Egypt and their dictatorial leaders killing their own civilian population, what good is the UN security council? The closing of
could be a major tourist attraction for people all over the globe, generating revenue for the province and Canada. Industries opening here would be actually quite intelligent for a business as Hope is a hub to the rest of Canada. Stop, respectfully, ignoring a town that could be flourishing if it had the assistance of the federal and provincial Governments. If they choose to ignore this town any longer, then all I can say is shame on the people in charge who have the opportunity to make a difference. A. Barry

Gaps wide in oil spill response scenarios
Tom Fletcher Black Press
1-855-678-7833 blackpress.ca ◾ metroland.com
SUDOKU PUZZLE 413
The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea. Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating. The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat. Environment Minister Mary
Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments. “While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our coast,” Polak said. The three-volume report also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now. Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year. The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers
down the B.C. coast to U.S. refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recovery in summer an three per cent in winter. One scenario examines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in summer conditions with daylightonly operations. Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour. The federal government has launched its own research project to model the drift and behaviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded marine weather forecasting to facilitate shipping.

New chapter in adult literacy The provincial government is providing $135,614 to support four community-based programs in the upper Fraser Valley to help adult learners improve their reading and writing skills. The University of the Fraser Valley is partnering with four community organizations in Chilliwack, Hope, and AgassizHarrison to deliver reading and writing skills training. Chilliwack Learning Community Society is receiving $40,000, with
provincial government into the Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP) to support projects in 90 communities this fiscal year. It’s anticipated that 9,000 people throughout B.C. will benefit from the funding. Through CALP, local groups collaborate with a public postsecondary institution to deliver literacy training, encouraging transitions from communitybased programs to post-secondary studies.
$31,984 for Agassiz-Harrison Community Services, $32,000 to Chilliwack Community Services, and $31,630 will go to New Page Human Services Society of Hope. “Literacy is a necessary tool to participate fully in our society,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. “We want to help ensure that everyone has an opportunity to gain literacy skills.” The funding is part of the $2.4 million investment by the

I had signed up for a Peter program in Bailey Media Techniques at the BC Institute of Technology. The courses were easy and I was doing well. I liked my school but I wasn’t challenged. I thought it was a good idea to get trained in media design after a
rocky career in journalism. I knew I needed a job in the short term to help pay my way through school and help with the grocery bill at home. Some friends of mine had started a small company and asked me if I could help them out, assisting job seekers with their resumes. I agreed and quickly fell into a job I was good at doing. It was a few months into this set up when I realized that I really had no passion for media design. But I had a real passion for work-
Workpath
for September is...
Growing up in a small community like Hope can bring challenges for people trying to make career choices. Often their perspective of employment is limited because there are not that many types of fields of work in small towns. Not surprisingly, people raised in resource communities tend to work in resource industries. However, when the industry changes, as it has in Hope, it can be very difficult to make informed career choices. Having to make a career choice can be paralyzing for many people. Folks are fearful of making the wrong
ing with my resume clients. I spoke with a few key people and made the decision to change my career path. BCIT was amazing and let me change my program. I became a partner of the company and spent the next 10 years taking courses in Career Development and Instruction. Since then my work has become a career that I love and am active in developing. So what about those courses I took at BCIT in media. Well it turns out they have come in very handy whenever we need to promote ideas, do marketing and advertising. Learning is never really wasted.

Sports Basketball sessions planned in November Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Eight to 12 year olds looking to get an early start on their hoops skills should consider Friday Night Basketball this November. The four one-hour sessions will be coached by two women who had successful high school and college careers in the sport. Mandy Arbuckle is the assistant manager of the Hope and District’s Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services. Jaclyn McNicol was raised in Hope and is now a rec centre staff member. McNicol graduated from Hope Secondary in 2009 and went on to Columbia Bible College, where she was a shooting guard and team captain for the Bearcats. She is now pursuing a degree in kinesiology at UFV, commuting from Hope. Arbuckle started out in Edmonton, but took the long route before arriving in Hope about six months ago. “I played high school ball in Edmonton, at McNally High School,” she said. “But I graduated from the Dharhan Academy High School in Saudi Arabia. My dad was in the oil industry. “That was probably the best basketball I’ve played,” she contended. “I practiced with the boy’s high school team and played in a men’s rec league, as well as on the school’s girls’ team.” Arbuckle also got started in coaching in Saudi Arabia, instructing girls’ basketball and volleyball. After a year of playing post for Calgary’s Mount Royal College, she coached basketball at the Edmonton Christian Academy, before earning a degree in tourism management and entrepreneurship at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. McNicol and Arbuckle intend to key on basic basketball skills in these introductory sessions. “It comes down to the fundamentals. How to shoot and how to dribble,” said McNicol, who hopes to become a sports psychologist. “I’d also like to know what they’re thinking.” “I’m really looking forward to

it,” added Arbuckle. “I haven’t worked with that age group for quite a while. “We’ll be having drills to work on their dribbling, pass-
ing, shooting and choosing a pivot foot. Our scrimmages will likely be half-court. “It would be nice to have 10 kids signed up but even eight
would work,” said Arbuckle. “More than 10 would be great.” Cost for the four sessions is $30 and registration takes place at the rec centre’s reception

CORBETT, Bryan James Nov. 13, 1950 Oct. 9, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Bryan. Bryan was predeceased by his father Wilford and his mother Dorothy. He is survived by his loving wife Bonnie, sons: Chad (Debbie), Josh (Tammy), daughters: Debbi (Kevin) and Shaylee, grandson: Sage, granddaughters: Rachael and Leilani. Also, daughters: Chasity (Eric), Tiffany (Wes) and son: Randy, brothers: Vern (Rhonda) and Doug (Joy), and many in-laws, nieces and nephews. Bryan was an avid outdoorsman who loved golf, hunting and fishing. He coached hockey and worked many horse events as family and friends meant everything to him. He was “Dad” to over ‘300’ children. There will be a Celebration of Life held at the Hope Legion on Oct. 22, 2013 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Clinic.
After a five year, courageous battle with cancer, Daphne Margaret Grant died on the 9th of October 2013 with her loving sister Wendy Grant Affleck at her side. Daphne was predeceased by her beloved parents, Harvey Grant in 1974 and Dorothy Grant in November 2012. Daphne was born on the 27th of September 1954 in Vancouver, B.C. and for approximately thirty years she worked as a social worker in both the private and public sectors. Daphne will be very sadly missed by her sister and brother-in-law, Wendy and Ken Affleck. The lights of Daphne’s life were her friends, her horse, Abu, her many dogs and especially her nephew and nieces and their children. Daphne’s interest and pride in the lives and accomplishments of Andrew and Kim Affleck and their children, Simon, Stella and Sam: Scott, Lindsay and Henry Foster: and Cameron and Catherine McPhail knew no bounds and she in return is remembered with love and gratitude. At Daphne’s request there will be no service but a gathering in her honour is planned for Sunday, 3rd of November 2013. The BCSPCA was always the recipient of Daphne’s generosity. If you would like to make a donation in her memory we know this would be her choice. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Raven Song Health Unit and the Cottage Hospice for all their loving care. Words cannot adequately express how much we appreciate all your kindness to Daphne. Thank you so much.
