Steveston onside with World Cup Village a cornucopia of colour ahead of biggest sporting spectacle on earth by Don Fennell Sports Editor The World Cup kicks off tomorrow in Brazil, but the anticipation is far from limited to the South American nation. All around the planet, soccer fever is escalating. For the next month, 32 countries will play off for a shot at the 2014 title in the biggest sporting spectacle on earth. Though Canada won’t be fielding a team in this year’s event, there will be no shortage of community spirit and cultural pride on display. It will be particularly abundant in Steveston, where from June 12 to July 13 the village is being transformed into a cornucopia of colours as shops adopt a participating country. “I’m so proud, it’s amazing what we have done,” says Davood Khatami, owner of Bean & Beyond Cafe.

It was his vision to create a village-wide cultural celebration, an idea that originated six months ago. With the encouragement and support of his friend Alan Clark (vice-president of the Steveston Community Society), Khatami made it happen—though he credits his wife for being “the brains behind it.” After some initial uncertainty, shopkeepers soon saw the benefits of participating. Soon the 32 businesses needed had signed on. By random draw, each of the shops were then designated “pavilions” for one of the 32 nations entered in the World Cup. Each will be displaying the flag of that country and will be doing something special on a designated “national day.” “It’s all about having fun,” said Khatami, who cobbled together a similar venture around the Euro Cup in 2012.

Son rides for a ‘great father’ 21-year-old Richmond man among hundreds participating in annual Ride to Conquer Cancer beginning Saturday

School trustee said current term will be his last on Board of Education

by Matthew Hoekstra

by Martin van den Hemel

Staff Reporter It’s a ride hundreds do for different reasons: a friend, a co-worker, a family member or simply the cause. On Saturday, when Michael Darnel straps on his bicycle helmet for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, he’ll be riding for dad. “He was a great father, devoted family man, and an active volunteer within the Richmond community, particularly with youth sports. My dad truly enjoyed life to its fullest,” said the 21-year-old of his father. Bernard Darnel died Oct. 9, 2013 at age 52 after a four-year battle with brain cancer. He left behind Susanna, his high school sweetheart and wife of 29 years, and his two children, Alannah and Michael. Bernard had just finished 25 years of work at Costco, where he was a manager. Participating in his second ride—a two-day cycling journey beginning June 14—is Michael’s way of making a difference. “I primarily wanted to participate to honour my father and help encourage him during his treatments. I also thought it would be a fun personal challenge and a good way to meet people who had been going through a similar experience.” Participants in the Ride to Conquer Cancer raise funds for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Last year 2,642 riders helped raise $10.4 million in the fifth annual ride. Michael, an R.A. McMath grad now studying business at University of B.C., has raised $5,550, thanks to contributions from friends, family, neighbours and his dad’s former coworkers. There’s another reason taking part in the ride is particularly special for Michael. Just months before he passed away, Bernard bought a road bike for his son. Find Darnel’s fundraising webpage at tinyurl.com/MichaelDarnel. Another cancer fundraiser is also set for Saturday. The Richmond Relay for Life begins at 6 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval and continues through to 6 a.m. Sunday.

Staff Reporter Richmond school trustee Kenny Chiu announced Tuesday he’ll be seeking the Conservative nomination in the new Steveston-Richmond East federal riding for the 2015 federal election. “For a long time, I’ve been wanting and trying to find my way to best serve the community,” said Chiu, who said he won’t be seeking re-election for his spot on the school board this November. Chiu said he’s devoted a lot of time, effort and energy toward the public school system in the past three years. But he believes he’ll be best suited to serve KENNY CHIU locals at the federal level. Rather than await the outcome of the nomination meeting, Chiu said he wanted to announce his decision to not seek re-election, as he thinks anybody who works for local students should have that as their top priority job, not a Plan B fallback. Chiu said his friends asked him to “step up to the plate” as the Conservative party “needs good people to run.” Steveston-Richmond East is a culturally diverse riding, with a wide-range of industries, including the tech sector, farming, fishing, warehousing, tourism as well as small commercial and retail, Chiu said. He’s well-suited for the job, he said, as he’s worked for the past couple of decades in the high-tech and software engineering industries. Chiu said he’s serving his full term as a trustee. Michael Darnel is participating in this year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer event in memory of his dad. At left, Michael Darnel with his dad Bernard in 2005.

Driver pleads guilty in crash that killed brothers by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A 22-year-old Richmond man has pled guilty to two counts of operating a motor vehicle with a blood/alcohol level above .08 causing death, in connection with a deadly crash in May of 2012. Ryan Jeffrey Webster entered a guilty plea in Richmond provincial court on Tuesday and is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 4 for a pre-sentencing report. Webster was 20 at the time he was driving a 2006 BMW 325i with Shane Moses, 19, and his little brother Jess, who were passengers. The BMW slammed into a tree on a twisty-section of No. 4 Road, south of Steveston Highway, killing both brothers. Webster held a Class 7 driver’s licence at the time of the crash, which permitted him to carry only one passenger, and didn’t allow him to consume any alcohol.

It was then I realized there are so many people who love soccer in Steveston but never show it. So I promised myself that for the next World Cup I would try to do something even bigger.” D Original Sausage Haus has the honour of hosting the first national day—Germany Day— on Thursday, June 12. A street barbecue is planned from noon to 4 p.m. outside of the First Avenue store, which will also show the opening match of the World Cup between host Brazil and Croatia at 1 p.m. There will also be live German music from 2 to 4 p.m. Then beginning at 6 p.m.,

Taiwan performers with disabilities making first performance in Canada From Page 4 The mass movement of Chinese people from rural villages to urban areas has led to major social problems that receive little attention from the public and authorities. Millions of children arrive in cities with their parents, who seek employment and shelter. Children are left unattended while parents work long hours, leaving them susceptible to everything from household hazards and human trafficking to child labour and violence. Problems are particularly acute in Kunming, where officials began demolishing migrant villages several years ago. Ho created the foundation after visiting the city, a place where children could venture out to scrounge for garbage— and never come back. “I see this (and) it melts my heart,” said Ho. The foundation has already raised money for an oversized van that’s been converted into an educational resource for local children. In a yearand-a-half, the van has already reached 20,000 kids, teaching them about personal safety. The foundation is now aiming to raise money to continue operating the van, and to involve local communities there. Friday’s show, “Serve One Another Music Journey,” marks the Hunzhang group’s first performance in Canada. Members—whose disabilities include mobility, hearing and eyesight challenges—are said to present “a perfect attitude through their imperfect” bodies. The group visits schools, jails and communities to encourage people to treasure life, said leader Ming Liu in an interview Tuesday. “We have difficulties, but we can still live an abundant life,” said Liu through a translator. “Every year we perform over 150 times.” Language is no barrier, as the evening is a show of music, dance and culture. It also includes appearances from two grads of Christian Zheng Sheng College, a 84-student high school that helps drug addicts. The ex-addicts will share their stories through music. The June 13 show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $48 to $128, available by calling 604-805-8833 or at cflf.ca.

Water tragedy underscores need for boating safety by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The local volunteers on the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue team are reminding boaters to wear their personal flotation devices whenever they’re on board a vessel. Brian Hobbs said whether you’re a strong swimmer or can’t swim at all, you should always wear a life

vest as the fast-moving current of the Fraser River can prove deadly at the best of times. Last weekend was a tragic one, as the local crew was busy again, raising the number of hours logged on missions to nearly 20 in just a couple of weeks. It’s the start of the boating season, and as the weather warms up and summer nears, more people take to the waterways.

“These missions have included three people stranded by the quickly-rising tide on Shady Island, multiple incidents of poorly prepared vessels, and the intensive search for the missing boater,” Hobbs said, referring in the latter case to a man missing and presumed drowned after falling from a boat while trying to free it from a log boom. See Page 7

Boaters advised to tell others of plans From Page 6 Hobbs said the man and a male passenger were in the boat when they ran out of fuel Saturday night. They were attempting to return to where they’d launched, from a dock in Delta across the Fraser River from the Shelter Island Marina. The local volunteers were tasked around 9 p.m. to refuel the vessel, but while they were on their way, a person on that pleasure craft fell into the water, Hobbs said. He wasn’t wearing a life vest and despite efforts by the Coast Guard, police and fire crews, that stretched into the early morning hours, his body wasn’t found. Hobbs said that in many incidents, boaters aren’t wearing their personal flotation devices, and in some cases, there are no life vests on the boat at all.

He also advised that when people are out on the water, they inform someone—such as a loved one—of their plans, in the event something goes wrong. In one recent incident near the Shelter Island Marina in East Richmond, the search-and-rescue team was dispatched to check on a boat anchored off shore. Concerns were expressed about whether the boat might have been adrift, or if the occupant was injured. As it turns out, the boat was locked tight, and the owner had taken a dinghy to shore, but failed to inform anybody. For more information about searchand-rescue, to obtain a guide, or to arrange a boating safety presentation at your local marina, e-mail Station 10 at info@station10.org.

Peeping Tom handed conditional discharge A Vancouver man won’t be spending any time behind bars for using his cell phone to secretly photograph up a woman’s skirt. On June 21, 2013, a woman complained to Transit Police that a man standing behind her on the escalator shot footage up her skirt. Robert William Kelly, 25, was eventually arrested, and appeared in Richmond provincial court last week, where he was handed a conditional discharge

he prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected. Most of the heat she’s

taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks

and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like

the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, genuinewitty. com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.

Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

letters Harm to ALR can be limited with vigilance

Editorial on law school If Linda Reid is best, fight misguided who is the worst?

Editor: Re: “Farmland fate a test for parties,” Tom Fletcher, June 4. For Tom Fletcher, a fan of the recent Agricultural Land Reserve bill, only “a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the flood, it seems any bad effect from the weakened Agricultural Land Commission Act is nothing. Fortunately, the bill spurred wide pro-ALR action. The efforts to stop “the bill to kill the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass of aware citizens for the next stage, which is now. Awareness matters. We saw that in Richmond a few years ago when a fellow who publicly wanted the thencontentious Garden City Lands out of the ALR almost got onto the Agricultural Land Commission panel to decide on it. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is meant to start with evidence, not decisions. Until the recent bill kneecapped the commission, current chair Richard Bullock was modernizing the ALC methods for quality assurance and efficiency, minimizing mistakes. Now the changes to the ALC Act have disabled much of the progress and worse. With vigilance, the harm can be limited. Jim Wright President Garden City Conservation Society

Editor: Re: “Law school fight will be good for lawyers,” Editorial. The editor could not have taken the time to read the hearings of the Law Society of B.C. which were thoughtful and researched positions for and against the wishes of Trinity Western University. The editor has an opinion which verges on bias against lawyers. I do not have to agree with the position taken by the Law Society in order to appreciate the democratic process which led to this hearing. The rules of the Law Society provide for an appeal of its resolutions. This is the democratic process dealing with an important decision about our society and how people attain and maintain a civilized and respectful society. The editor reduces all that which is under debate to the ash heap of being a source of work for lawyers measured by “hefty hourly rates” and “tie up a number of courts.” This editorial is so misguided as to echo the character in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, who in order to impose the will of the king over his domain stated: “The first thing we do, is kill all the lawyers.” The irony of this is that all lawyers who are condemned by this editor’s viewpoint will one day be TWU lawyers who will be appealing a position of their client before the Supreme Court of Canada in the belief that this position maintains our civilized and respectful society. What will the editor say about that? Gary Cohen Richmond

Editor: Re: “Curious selection for Best Politician in Best of Richmond,” Letters, June 6. Robert M. Paul rightly asks about the selection of Linda Reid as “Best Politician” after her infamous spending sprees as Speaker: “If she was the best may I ask who was the worst?” Of course maybe Reid was voted the best on the strength of her “beautiful smile.” Oh wait, we only saw that endorsement because Reid herself placed it in a paid ad in The Review. No, it is very hard to decide who would be the ALICE WONG worst politician in Richmond. It tends to be a race to the bottom. Let us not forget Alice Wong, who in her years as MP has done and said nothing of any consequence in public except for her high profile press-conference to champion the eating of shark fin soup; and on that one she tried to avoid notice by media in one of Canada’s official languages.

RICHMOND

Martin van den Hemel photo A Monday morning fire at Richmond Terrace gutted one unit and led to smoke and water damage in at least another. There were no injuries.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A father and his adult daughter were shaken but otherwise appeared unhurt following a Monday morning fire at Richmond Terrace, a two-storey townhouse complex at 8640 Blundell Rd., just west of Garden City. The fire was first spotted on the second-floor balcony by the father around 5:45 a.m., who alerted his daughter who then called 911. The pair appeared to be shaken up, but were otherwise unhurt as they sat outside the charred remains of their home. The complex was renovated last July, sporting a brand new exterior, including fire-resistant hardie board siding made of cement fibre board,

NOTICE OF COURT ORDER TO: Charles Arthur Kelly which the complex’s strata council president believes played a role in preventing the fire from causing more extensive damage and spreading to adjacent units. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said more than two dozen firefighters attended the scene, along with eight pieces of firefighting equipment. Thanks to their quick response, Richmond

Fire-Rescue was able to extinguish the blaze in a matter of minutes, with one unit sustaining most of the damage. All other occupants were able to return to their units and there were no injuries to either occupants or firefighters.

Conditional sentence for man caught up in police drug sweep A Burnaby man received a conditional jail sentence after being caught in a police drug sweep. Allen Xuan Zu, who was 21 at the time of the 2011 arrest, was one of four men caught up in the investigation that started at a Richmond

auto dealership. Police said at the time that the RCMP investigation was launched after the local dealership found a handgun in a vehicle. The investigation led to the discovery of $50,000 worth of heroin,

some cocaine, and a drug packaging site at a property in Burnaby. Last week Zu appeared in Richmond provincial court, where he was handed a conditional sentence of two years less a day, and a lifetime firearms prohibition.

Kids learn about animals and get a lesson in empathy

PROVEN SEED BLENDS FOR THE LOWER MAINLAND

The BC SPCA is holding week-long summer camps that offer animal-themed activities for kids. Camps will be held in the Richmond Education and Adoption Centre at 7791 Steveston Hwy. Camp activities include specially-designed games and crafts and visits from guest speakers who work with animals. In addition, every day offers approximately one hour of interactive time with animals. “All of the activities have underlying educational messages aimed at developing children’s empathy, critical thinking skills and understanding of companion, farm and wild animals,” said Leiki Salumets, BC SPCA humane education co-ordinator, in a news release. Direct animal interaction provides excellent opportunities for lessons in empathy, as children are asked to consider the feelings of the animals in that moment. “One of the main goals of camp is to encourage compassionate behaviours while building confidence. Campers leave feeling inspired and empowered to be leaders in their schools and communities, speaking up for animals, the environment and other people.” Registration is open to children ages eight to 11, with two weeks dedicated to six- and seven-yearolds.

We are seeking B.C.'s best amateur photographers to send in their favourite photos of an event, a sport, a family image, and/or action shot within the last 12 months.

Philippine Independence Day celebrated at Lansdowne Nuguid said when she thinks of Independence Day, it’s a day of pride, when the Philippines obtained its “freedom from other nationalities that took over the Philippines, like the Spaniards, the Americans and the Japanese. Every time we see our flag flying, we’re very happy that we are Filipinos.” The day’s activities will include a special parade, where participants will wear traditional Filipino costumes and walk through the mall. Philippine Independence Day is actually celebrated as a national holiday in the Philippines on June 12. On that date in 1898, the Philippines declared its independence from Spain, following a revolution that began nearly two years earlier.

philippine independence day

Richmond’s Filipino community growing It’s the third most common non-official language mother tongue, according to 2011 Census by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Think you can name the top-three non-official languages spoken in Richmond? The first two should be easy enough for most people: Cantonese

and Mandarin. If your other top-three wasn’t Filipino, you’d be wrong. According to 2011 Census data, some 8,670 locals spoke Filipino as their mother tongue at that time. That’s more than the 6,235 who cited fourthplace Punjabi. Based on data from 2011 and 2006, the local Filipino community appears to be increasing. Canada’s national household survey, last conducted by Statistics Canada in 2011, indicated Richmond had a Filipino population of 12,670 people, some 6.7 per cent of the population.

Just five years earlier, statistics gathered using a different methodology, found the local Filipino population was 9,555, or 5.5 per cent of the population. Allan and Rainelda Bolos, who both work as construction estimators, are originally from the Philippines, and after having lived in Taiwan and Malaysia, elected to settle down in Richmond back in 2006. “We’re pioneering here,” Rainelda said, adding that she and her husband have sponsored relatives to immigrate to Canada as well. Drawn by the future prospects for their three

boys, ages 14, 12 and 3, the salary and education system, she said it was the right decision. On Thursday, the Bolos family will be celebrating Philippine Independence Day. It’s a special time for the family, as Rainelda’s grandfather was a veteran of the PhilippineAmerican War (from 1899 to 1902). “That means a lot to us, that he was one of our heroes in our family. He fought for the country,” she said. From participating in parades, to singing to waving the Philippine national flag, June 12 is a time to connect with fellow Filipino families,

and talk about the country’s history and heritage. Rainelda said Richmond has a larger Fili-

pino community than other surrounding cities, and represent a significant proportion of those in attendance

at local churches, where they commonly participate by volunteering or taking part in fundraising.

Happy

The run began with a 12-8 win at Maple Ridge June 2 and concluded with a 14-8 victory over Nanaimo Timbermen Sunday at Minoru Arenas. In between, Richmond outscored Burnaby Lakers 18-6 also at Minoru. Leading scorer Jayden Campbell (17 goals and 11 assists through six games) paced Richmond in each outing. His four goals helped the locals overcome a 9-8 deficit after two periods against Maple Ridge, while another four-goal effort (coupled with six assists) set the standard against Burnaby.

Chandler Bradley, second in team scoring with eight goals and 10 assists in five games, scored twice and set up five more versus Maple Ridge and had three goals and four assists against Burnaby.

On May 29, Quilchena Golf & Country Club played host to the Richmond Community Foundation’s 21st Annual Golf Tournament, officially known as the RCF Club Cup. Money raised from the event supports the Community Foundation’s work managing nearly 50 permanent endowment funds, together valued at over $3 million. From these funds, the Community Foundation issues grants and scholarships, providing the financial resources so that others may enhance the quality of life in Richmond. Partial proceeds from the tournament go specifically to the Tourism Richmond Endowment Fund, which supports individuals living with disabilities who want to enter the tourism industry, but first require skill or equipment upgrades. The Richmond Community Foundation and Tourism Richmond would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and businesses who helped make this year’s tournament a resounding success. Together, we hit a hole in one for our community!

Seafair Minor Hockey Association has extended its contract with renowned skills instructor Derek Popke and his Vancouver Hockey School for another three seasons; the new deal beginning in the 2015-16 campaign. “I would like to thank the Seafair executives, coaches and members for this opportunity. Seafair has gained the reputation for outstanding player and coach development and I look forward to building on these successes,” said Popke. The 2014-15 season will see both Popke and Yogi Svejkovsky retain their titles and duties as director of player development and director of hockey operations respectively. Seafair executive director Ken Hamaguchi is thrilled Popke will be part of the Seafair family for at least another four seasons. “Many people know that Derek works (primarily as a skating instructor) with a number of NHL players, but that’s not why Seafair contracts him,” said Hama-

May 22, 1928 - June 3, 2014 Doris passed away peacefully on June 3, 2014 at Delta View Life Enrichment Centre, Delta BC. She was preceded by her husband Bill Hartley, mother and father Joan and Herbert, brother Lorne, and sisters Jean and Lois. She is survived by her sister Helen, children Bill (Della), Leslye Szymczak (Peter), Janice Gibson (Brad) and Heather Jones (Michael), grandchildren Aimee, Fraser, Morgan, Becky, Kate, Matt, Joe, Dan, Stuart and Brian and great-grandsons Baron, Sam and Will. Doris was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver with her family in the early 1930’s. She attended King Edward High School, but left to begin employment at Jantzen of Canada in 1945 until 1986. During those years, Doris met Bill Hartley at Bowen Island and married in 1950, making Vancouver their home until 1957 when they moved to Richmond. They enjoyed life around family, friends and their dream backyard and pool. The happy couple ventured beyond Richmond, on a few tropical holidays before Bill was taken so suddenly. After retirement, Doris went back to school and upgraded her education at Douglas College and began volunteering at Richmond General Hospital and then at Fraserview Care Home where her mother lived her final years. Doris continued to enjoy life with a passion for walks in Steveston, knitting and quilting, gardening, her special times with her children and grandchildren, decorating the family home during festive holidays and occasions. Rest peacefully, Mom/Gramma. We will love you forever. Thank you to the Delta View and Gilmore Gardens staffs for their care and kindness over the past five years. In lieu of flowers a gift to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. A celebration of Doris’ life will be held at a later date.

Richmond Day of Caring at the Sharing Farm

Volunteerism grows at Richmond Sharing Farm

Around Town Amanda Oye olunteers from Caring Companies helped make a difference in the community by getting their hands dirty and doing some farm work at Volunteer Richmond’s third annual Richmond Day of Caring at the Sharing Farm on Saturday.

The Sharing Farm at Terra Nova Rural Park has proven to be the perfect place to bring everyone together to volunteer. “It’s such a great place to be,” said Jocelyn Wong, general manager of Volunteer Richmond. It’s also a place that needs a lot of volunteers to operate, and so benefits greatly from the help given by the participants. “I think it’s fantastic,” said James Gates, executive director of the Sharing Farm. Each year, tasks depend on what is going on at the farm. “Whatever is happening, we find work to fit the farm’s needs,” said Gates.

This year volunteers completed a number of tasks from moving compost to weeding. The Richmond Day of Caring is the annual wrap up to Volunteer Richmond’s Caring Companies program, which provides companies with the resources to work more strategically with nonprofit organizations. The program runs with new companies each year, but all companies that have completed the program are invited back every year for the Day of Caring.
