More calls for ‘Justice for Hudson’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

As friends and family prepared to celebrate the life of Hudson Brooks this week, a woman who described the 20-year-old as “like a grandson to me” confirmed those who knew the South Surrey man continue to struggle with the circumstances of his death. “We have many questions,” Donna Krieger told Peace Arch News hours before the private service, held Wednesday afternoon at Victory Memorial Funeral Centre. “Everybody around town… everybody says that it was overkill.” Brooks died around 2:30 a.m. July 18, after police responded to reports of a “suicidal” male in the parking lot of the South Surrey RCMP building, in the 1800-block of 152 Street. There was a struggle, shots were fired and Brooks did not survive his injuries. An officer was also shot in the altercation, presumably by a police-issued weapon, however, that wound was not life-threatening and police confirmed this week that the officer has since been released from hospital. PAN requests for the operational status of officers involved in the incident have gone unanswered. The Independent Investigations Office – which investigates policeinvolved incidents of serious harm or death to determine if an officer may have committed an offence – has taken over the file. i see page 4

City survey indicates dissatisfaction with quality of buildings

‘No one has defined White Rock’s unique character’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

How do White Rock residents and business owners define the city’s unique character? That is one of the biggest questions to arise from the city’s recent ‘Imagine White Rock 2045’ survey, according to Karen Cooper, the city’s director of planning and development. In a report to council Monday, Cooper outlined some of the findings of the survey, noting the city’s character stood out

Summer is Flying By BIRDFOOD t '&&%&34 t ("3%&/ "$$&/54 t 6/*26& (*'54

as something that came up frequently in respondents’ written comments. “Many people said we need to protect White Rock’s unique character, but no one has defined what White Rock’s unique character is,” Cooper said. “I think it means different things to different people, and I think we need to do some work with the community on defining that and coming to a common understanding.” The survey was launched in May, in con-

junction with the kick off of the city’s Official Community Plan review. Cooper noted that 320 completed surveys were submitted between May 13 and June 17. One portion of the survey examining satisfaction levels on a variety of elements indicated a low level of satisfaction with the “condition, style and character of the buildings in White Rock,” Cooper noted. “That’s a very significant finding, and it shows we have some work to do,” she said,

noting that the city’s seaside setting ranked high in respondent satisfaction. “So people love being here, but they’re not happy with the quality of the built environment.” Development played a big part in the survey, as well, Cooper told council, noting that the areas that were most preferred as ‘potential growth areas’ were in the town centre and along North Bluff Road adjacent to the town centre and Peace Arch Hospital. i see page 4

Province ‘not consulted’ in federal move to centralize staff in Ottawa

Surrey’s RCMP complaints office to shut Jeff Nagel Black Press

The independent agency that investigates complaints against the RCMP is closing its B.C. intake office in Surrey in order to cut costs and centralize staff in Ottawa. The move by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP has sparked criticism that police oversight could falter. “B.C. was not consulted on this decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said in a statement. “We’ll be watching to ensure there is no reduction in service, as we are the largest RCMP jurisdiction and we expect the commission and the federal government to be accountable to British Columbians.” The RCMP’s E Division has 7,100 officers policing B.C. That’s 37 per cent of all RCMP officers across Canada and more than are deployed in any other province. About 3,600 inquiries or formal complaints

complaints from across the country – not just B.C. – but does not conduct any investigations itself and has not been involved in any mediation in recent years. Incoming complaints are initially sent to the RCMP for investigation and commission staff only looks into them further if the complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome, she said. Many complaints are now filed online rather than by phone, McDerby added. Closing the Surrey office won’t change how complaints against officers in B.C. are made or processed, she added. McDerby was unable to say how much money will be saved by closing the Surrey office. Eight full-time staff there are mostly retiring or leaving voluntarily. The commission’s goal is to increase public confidence in the RCMP by increasing transparency and accountability. Its annual budget is $11.4 million.

City maintains motion valid Despite confusion about a council motion and vote at Monday’s White Rock city council meeting, staff say proper procedure was followed. Following a report from the city’s planning manager about development applications requiring Official Community Plan amendments, council voted to endorse staff ’s recommendations. However, members of the packed gallery expressed confusion that a motion had not yet been tabled, despite Coun. Grant Meyer indicating he had done so already.

CONNECTING A CARING COMMUNITY WITH CAUSES THAT MATTER.

i from page 1 Traffic concerns and overburdened community services were among key concerns raised in relation to development. Cooper alluded to concerns raised last month when an email was sent from a developer asking for White Rock and South Surrey residents to complete the survey, prompting questions about whether residents outside of White Rock were participating. According to answers provided by respondents about where they resided, 71 per cent lived in White

stating he’d moved it.” “The moving and seconding of the motion was done quickly and confirmed by the mayor prior to the vote being taken by council,” Arthur said. When asked who would be noted in the minutes as having seconded the motion, Arthur said council minutes do not include the names of movers or seconders, however, she recalled that Coun. Lynne Sinclair seconded the motion immediately after Meyer tabled it. – Melissa Smalley

Rock, and most others were business owners or students within the city, Cooper said. She noted only two per cent of respondents were not from White Rock. The city also received 148 pages of individual comments, which Cooper said were available online for the public to peruse. “People can see there were no issues with adjustments by outside forces influencing negatively or positively people’s responses,” she said. In addition to concerns about development and growth, Coo-

per said the city received many comments about the impact and possible relocation of the railway, as well as the need for better public transit in the city. Staff will now move onto the next phase of the OCP review – which they’ve called ‘defining the big picture’ – and will include involvement of the recently formed OCP working group. Cooper said this phase will also involve more community involvement, including workshops, engagement sessions and an additional survey.

Request for witnesses continues i from page 1 An appeal last week for civilian witnesses to help investigators figure out Brooks’ actions in the hours leading up to his death has resulted in “a number of calls,” IIO spokesman Ralph Krenz told PAN by email Thursday. “We are still inviting more witnesses to come forward – witnesses who were either with him (in) the hours before the incident or were aware of the events leading up to the critical incident.” Anyone with information is asked to call 1-855446-8477 or 778-988-1041. As the days pass, a makeshift memorial to Brooks continues to grow at the shooting site, where mourners are regularly seen lighting candles, laying flowers and propping up “Justice for Hudson” posters and other tributes to Brooks. The hashtag #justiceforhudson is also gaining traction, and is being added to hoodies that are reportedly being sold to raise money for Brooks’ family. The first batch was anticipated to be delivered today (Friday). At the request of Brooks’ family, media did not attend Wednesday’s service, which drew an estimated 300 people. Some attendees later commented on the service on social media, describing it as “beautiful” and lauding a slideshow that was included. Krieger, who last saw Brooks at a dinner the week-

She predicted comments reflecting the anger around his death – many of which were spraypainted at the South Surrey skate park – will continue until the full story is known. “You’re probably going to see a lot more until some of these questions get answered,” Krieger said. “There’s got to be questions answered.”

When it comes to making a lasting impression, Paisley and Buttercup know how to work it.

The presentation included a milking and feeding demonstration, along with a

The first squeamish response followed the fact – shared by presenter Kelsey Epton – that Buttercup uses her foot-long tongue to clean out her nose. Other more-charming tidbits shared by Epton, who grew up in South Surrey, included that Buttercup – who weighs in at

editorial

Cutting off the west

art of the problem with our Ottawa-centric federal government is that it can’t seem to understand why anyone in B.C. would be displeased about services – any services – being centralized ‘back east’. But that’s just what is happening with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP. The federal government has decided to close the B.C. office – located in Surrey – and save costs by centralizing staff in Ottawa. While the RCMP investigates complaints about individual officers, the commission is intended as a further recourse for complainants who remain unsatisfied, or for addressing wider issues about RCMP policies and practice in general. The decision to close the local office removes another access point for a level of independent oversight on the force at a time when, some would argue, even greater oversight is needed. There may be justifications for the move – a commission spokesperson says the office did not itself conduct investigations and hadn’t done any mediation recently, while eight fulltime staff affected in Surrey are, we are told, either retiring or leaving voluntarily. And the work that the Newton office undertook, we are assured, will still go on in Ottawa. But it’s a particularly bad optic at a time when B.C. residents continue to have lingering, and troubling, concerns about RCMP actions – ranging all the way from the Dziekanski tasering, in connection with which former officer Monty Robinson has just been sentenced for perjury, to the recent shooting of Anonymous collective member James McIntyre during a protest at a BC Hydro meeting in Dawson Creek and the July 18 death of 20-year-old Hudson Brooks outside the South Surrey detachment. And, as B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has observed, the move – in the largest RCMP jurisdiction in Canada, where 37 per cent of all the country’s Mounties are stationed – was done with no consultation with provincial officials. The federal government, it seems, is perfectly comfortable with this lack of consultation – and doesn’t seem to be aware, or much care, that unilateral decisions of this kind only serve to goad locals. It may be wise to remember that, in politics, perceptions are everything – particularly when those perceptions reinforce long-held suspicions B.C. has about its representation in Ottawa.

After I had learned what all the switches and dials were for, the driving was much more enjoyable. Next I made a trip to Canadian Tire. They have an entire section there for guys who have just bought new cars. When I was washing my old truck, I would shake the sand out of the old wash mitt, pour some laundry detergent or dish soap into a pail and after some scrubbing, it would look OK. But to protect this investment I purchased a ‘synthetic lamb’s wool wash mitt,’ a bottle of combination car wash and wax liquid that ‘produces a highgloss shine every time’, and because we have water restrictions I picked up the ‘Original California Car Duster’ designed to ‘scientifically and effectively remove surface dust without scratching.’ (As seen on TV!) My first car cost $100, and I was pretty proud of that old Plymouth and it never let me down. I paid a bit more this time, but I’ll be more than happy if I get that service out of my new one.

No time to get over shock

Water rules divide cities

Editor: On Sunday morning, at approximately 6 a.m., my son was cycling to work. On the 24 Avenue overpass, he shoulder-checked and then proceeded to attempt to go into the turning lane to make the left onto Croydon Drive. Just as he moved into the turning lane, he was startled by a blast of a car horn from behind, causing him to lose control and fly off his bike. He fell and slid into the path of the oncoming vehicle, which fortunately was able to stop in time. The driver put on his emergency lights and got out to see if he was OK. Others stopped as well. But my son insisted he didn’t need an ambulance, which brings me the point of this letter. He wasn’t OK. He was in shock, his adrenaline was racing, he didn’t realize how badly he was hurt. Once he got up and grabbed his bike, he instinctively tried to get to his destination but the pain soon set in. His knee was shattered. His supervisor called me immediately and administered firstaid. When I arrived, I loaded him in my truck and went to the ER. If anything like this happens to anyone, please stay with the injured for at least 15 minutes. Give them time to let the initial shock subside long enough to really know how badly they may be hurt. My 17-year-old boy was suffering from shock and in severe pain, the kneecap was shattered and his attempt to walk the last 300 yards may have done serious tendon damage – I’ll know more when he actually gets the MRI. He claims he insisted in those first five minutes he was OK. Five minutes of attention was not enough. Stacey Marton, Surrey

Editor: Re: Fines on deck, July 24. The PAN article says White Rock is still on stage 1 restrictions, whereas all Metro Vancouver members – of which White Rock is one – are supposed to be on stage 3. Why is White Rock allowed to violate this? Bryan Russell, Surrey Editor’s response: White Rock’s tap water is from the Sunnyside Uplands aquifer through Epcor, rather than from the North Shore and Coquitlam watersheds through Metro Vancouver.

Nature of cruelty Editor: I live close to Jesse Lee Park and am a volunteer for the City of Surrey. I take care of cleaning up the areas along the pathways in the forest and enter from the 20 Avenue side. Over the past few years, my autistic grandson and I have been transplanting English oak trees that the squirrels have so kindly been

planting in our backyard. They and a half dozen other naturally growing trees have taken root along the paths and have been doing amazingly well. Some have grown to a height of 4½ meters. Last week, as my wife went for our afternoon walk, we were horrified to see that six of these English oak saplings had been viciously destroyed. I say viciously because the manner in which they were destroyed would appear that whoever did it must have some ‘anger issues’. Even some of the city-planted cedars had been snapped in half. One oak tree that refused to break was twisted serpentine-like and dragged under an adjacent log. I was able to pull it back out and it returned to its normal height. I don’t understand how anyone could possibly do that kind of damage. If you read this, you need to get some help. Al Toulmin, Surrey

Cars part of area’s appeal Editor: Re: Appetite for a car-free Marine, July 15 letters. I couldn’t disagree more with letter-writer Roger Currie on his

People come from all over to sit and watch the sites, which include some amazing cars and bikes and a fantastic view. It is already the place to be. When I want quiet, I go to Crescent Beach.

Election gifts pose conflicts Editor: Will the four White Rock Coalition city councillors dismiss themselves from all discussions and votes regarding the Forge and Elegant developments when these come before city council? Both development companies were contributors to these councillors’ campaign for the 2014 city elections. I expect Couns.

A demonstration in 2010 brought about two dozen longboarders to White Rock City Hall in an effort to change bylaws.

‘Shredding’ light on longboarders Editor: Re: Safety of long boarders top-of-mind, July 17 letters. I read the letter to the editor about the longboard community and ‘problem’ in White Rock and would like to share my view. As an avid boarder myself, I think I can shed more light on the current situations. To begin, this is not a game or something that we do just for fun; we consider this a legitimate sport. We all are here because we have a true passion for it. Nobody realizes how much control we truly have. People seem to think we just ‘step on the board roll down the hill and pray’, but this is far from the case. Until one can truly understand our sport can they judge it.

We stay as safe as possible with spotters for corners, but none of this matters to the residents; all they see is a bunch of kids rolling down 25 per cent grade hills. Granted, there are they occasional longboarders who cause trouble, but that’s expected with any sport and the whole group of us cannot be blamed. Just because the longboard sport is not understood does not mean it should be banned. Like true athletes, nothing is going to prevent us. If you don’t understand, that’s fine, but do not tell us how dangerous it is or we are going to get killed. I hope I educated you a little bit on the situation, and I hope in the future you wouldn’t write articles about things you are not fully aware of. Joel Sukkau, Delta

The family of a teen killed in a horrific crash last year is happy the province is finally building a median on a deadly stretch of Highway 10. But they wonder, if authorities had acted sooner, if their son and his friend would still be alive. Lisa Kehler said Tuesday she’s extremely pleased the province is constructing a median barrier along 600 metres of Highway 10, between Scott Cody Kehler Road and Highway 91. It’s where her son Cody, and his friend Chantal MacLean, slid on a rainsoaked curve on Oct. 13, 2014 while Chantal MacLean travelling westbound and sailed into oncoming traffic. The two 17-year-olds – both students at Clayton Heights Secondary – were killed instantly. The pair were on their way to

Construction of a median along Highway 10 is set to get underway. have Thanksgiving dinner at Cody’s family’s house when the crash occurred. “It’s seriously sad that medians were highly suggested two years ago,” Kehler told Black Press Tuesday. “I’m glad that it’s going up, but it’s not going to bring my son back. Barriers all the way up Highway 10, until you get to the most dangerous part, and then there’s nothing,” she said. “It’s such a waste, because it didn’t need to happen… How many lives is too many?” The B.C. Ministry of Transportation announced last Friday that work would begin at the end of July to add 600 metres of median barrier between Scott

Road and Highway 91, along with a widening of that section of Highway 10. Drivers are advised to expect delays until the $2.15-million project is completed sometime this fall. The corridor carries 30,000 vehicles a day. Kehler hopes to be at the project unveiling. While it’s too late for her son, she feels he might not have died in vain if another life can be saved with the barrier. It’s been an incredibly tough time for the family since the teens’ deaths, Kehler said. “I think the shock and awe has worn off – now we’re just in the reality that he’s never coming home,” she said.

uestion: My mother trusted me and I convinced her to put a major asset in my name. She spoke to me and my brother and sister and told them it was to be for all three of us but it was never documented. She has now died. I am a former police ofÀcer and I know for a fact that anything my mother said is hearsay and is not admissible in court. I get to keep the asset, right?

nswer: Wrong, over the past four decades the courts have created and exception to the hearsay rule which allows both your brother and sister to tell the Court what your mother said she intended and you can be cross examined about what she said to you.

hang from its belt to justify its existence, and these things do happen in public agencies. However imperfect the IIO is, the public need to have confidence in police. When other police forces do investigations into police-involved shootings, it appears to many that the investigators will go soft. The IIO was designed to show that an outside agency, which is not in any way beholden to police, can conduct an impartial investigation into deaths or injuries at the hands of police. Its record is decidedly mixed thus far, and the stay of murder charges in the MacWillams case does not lead to any confidence in its initial investigation. The most important thing here is that the vast majority of the public have confidence in police, and in law and order in general. There have been too many questionable cases in B.C. to leave investigations of policeinvolved death or serious injury in the hands of police. While some could argue that the Crown erred in allowing the MacWilliams charge, there’s something to be said for taking a second look at the evidence. It’s far too early to tell what the IIO will come up with in the Brooks case. It needs to do a thorough job, and it will likely be months before results are known. However, having the IIO investigate the matter is better than what used to take place. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for Peace Arch News. frank. bucholtz@gmail.com

Monday by White Rock Business Improvement Association executive director Douglas Smith. The banners – which come in three sets of pairs – celebrate shopping and dining, music and art and exploration and enjoyment.

While showing off the vibrant, colourful designs, Smith told council the BIA has also installed six new planters uptown and is working on a seasonal lighting plan for the area as well. “All of these things go towards making our community as welcoming and charming as possible,” Smith said. – Melissa Smalley

The City of Surrey has plans to build an odour control facility (OCF) in the 19000 Block of 40 Avenue to mitigate odours from the sanitary trunk sewer. The facility will consist of underground piping and an above-ground containerized facility with concrete pad, electrical kiosk and maintenance access area. The facility will be sited on a 12m x 16m portion of parkland along the south side of 40 Avenue. The area will be fenced by the black metal picket fence with natural plantings surrounding portions of the perimeter.

The Blues Brothers Too may have been a little too Blues Brothers for comfort. White Rock-based concert promoter Rob Warwick, of Rock. It Boy Entertainment, says he is waiting for the popular tribute band’s next move, before promoting further concerts with them. “I received a cease-and-desist request from (Canadian actor) Dan Ackroyd’s agent,” he said Monday. “I passed it on to the band’s management.” The Vancouver Island-based band’s touring act – popular on the Peninsula from local appear-

ances, including White Rock’s Sea Festival – is based on characters Ackroyd and the late John Belushi created for Saturday Night Live and the subsequent 1980 film. Meanwhile Dave Braun, president of the White Rock Events Society – which had separately booked the band as Sunday night headliners for this year’s sea festival – confirmed Monday that the act “formerly known as Blues Brothers Too” will still play as planned, but now as ‘Soul Men Rhythm and Blues Review’. Warwick, who has promoted concerts with the band before, said it hadn’t occurred to him the act wasn’t officially sanctioned by

Ackroyd and Belushi’s estate. “I get what the problem is,” said Warwick. “There are all kinds of tribute acts out there, but this one, based on fictional characters, is more like (Ackroyd and Belushi’s) intellectual property.” Two concerts Warwick was promoting for the band – one in New Westminster set for July 29 and at one in Langley July 30 – were cancelled last week. He said he is hopeful the band can arrange a licensing deal that will allow them to continue to use the personas. “They were on a mission from God,” he quipped. “Now they’re on a mission from Rock.It Boy to sort this out.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

2,800 Surrey athletes affected

Youth soccer programs suspended Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Coastal City Football Club (CCFC) is claiming the suspension of both its boys’ and girls’ programs has been levied before the youth soccer group can answer the allegations against it. The Newton-based Surrey youth soccer organization, one of the largest in the province with roughly 2,800 members, has been suspended by two district associations recently. While both groups cite several allegations against CCFC, the club claims it has received just one complaint, and it “has not been given an opportunity to respond to the allegations.” The South District Girls Soccer Association (SDGSA), which governs female youth soccer in Surrey and Delta, suspended CCFC last Friday (July 24). Monday night, the Surrey Metro Soccer Association (SMSA) followed suit, issuing a suspension affecting CCFC boys’ teams. Under both suspensions, CCFC may not register players for the coming season or participate in events sanctioned by BC Soccer. Disciplinary hearings have been set for Aug. 11 by the SDGSA and Aug. 13 by the SMSA. Both district associations cite allegations Central City “have made attempts to manipulate” the dates of its annual general meeting, and have been involved in the operation of a nonsanctioned spring/summer league. The actions by SMSA and SDGSA were taken roughly two weeks after Amar Bains wrote to both bodies, questioning the actions of the Central City executive. In what he called “an official letter of complaint” to both groups, Bains claimed the CCFC has violated four of its own bylaws. Bains told Black Press Wednesday that he has been advised by his lawyer not to comment. In the letter, Bains claims the club executive is supporting Canadian Eagles FC, a club not affiliated with BC Soccer, noting seven CCFC executive members are also on the board of Canadian Eagles and are in a conflict-of-interest as defined by CCFC bylaws. “Monies have been paid from CCFC to Canadian Eagles FC, despite being a nonaffiliated BC Soccer Association/District Association soccer club,” wrote Bains, noting bylaws call for the club to be “subject to the rules and regulations” of BC Soccer and its district associations. Attempts by Black Press to contact CCFC were not successful. On the club website, CCFC claims the two associations “have acted unfairly” and the club will “pursue the issue with BC Soccer.”

South Surrey swimmer earns spot on Olympic team

Weinberger qualifies for Rio Peninsula-born swimmer Richard Weinberger has earned himself a spot in the next summer Olympics, after finishing in eighth place at the FINA World Championships this week. Weinberger, a long-distance swimmer and 2012 Olympic bronze medallist, had a strong finish in the 10-km open water marathon in Kazan, Russia Monday, clocking in at 1:50:19.9. The effort was enough to secure Weinberger a trip to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics, where the 25-year-old – who now lives and trains in Vancouver – will compete for Team Canada. The gold medal in Monday’s race was won by American Jordon Wilimovsky, who finished with a time of 1:49:48.2. Silver went to Ferry Weertman of the Netherlands (1:50:00.3) and bronze went to Spyridon Gianniotis of Greece (1:50:00.7). – Melissa Smalley

Mylod, John Michael passed away on July 20, 2015 while working at a job he loved with people he really cared for. John was predeceased by his Dad last year and his Granddad a few days ago. First and foremost John’s passion in life was spending time with friends and family and with the love of his life Melissa. He valued every opportunity to engage in discussion with his many friends. Known as The Oracle he was intelligent, an avid reader with a thirst for knowledge. He was a lover of History, War and Politics and was keen to engage in debate with anyone who had a few minutes to spare. Referred to as The White Knight by family for his need to right a wrong and support the underdog especially if it involved his fists. John loved camping, fishing, boating and water sports and whenever he could he would gather friends for a quick rip or head over to Cabbage Island to chill out. John was kind, helpful and considerate. He loved sharing his knowledge. He was very protective of those he loved and a wonderful, patient mentor. He lived more life in his 31 years than most people could ever dream of. John touched so many lives in so many ways, he will be sorely missed by innumerable people. The family will be having a private Celebration of Life for John in the near future. Family and close friends will be in attendance.

OBITUARIES

ROBINSON, Nancy May (Nee Hawley)

November 2, 1927- Madison, WI; July 18 - 2015 Calgary, AB Nancy May Robinson passed away peacefully on July 18, 2015 at the age of 87. Born November 2, 1927, Nancy grew up in Kingston, Ontario and entered Queen’s University at the young age of 16 where she earned a BA (Honours) in Biology (1948) and an MA in Biology (1949). She was fond of her youth in Kingston and she especially enjoyed Queen’s University where her father was a Department Head and where she met and later married her husband, Malcolm. Nancy and Malcolm raised a family of four in a variety of locales including Vancouver, BC, Port of Spain, Trinidad, Denver, Colorado, Calgary, Alberta and White Rock, BC. She had a particular love of the White Rock area where she coveted many friendships and experiences. She was active in the University Women’s Club in both Calgary and White Rock, the White Rock and South Surrey Naturalists Club and the B.C. Waterfowl Society. Nancy’s professional career commenced as a research assistant in the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s (AECL) Chalk River, Ontario facility where she conducted applied research in medical bacteriology. Later, during the 1960s in Calgary, she taught Zoology at Mt. Royal College. Following a move to the west coast, she taught at Douglas College in Surrey. Nancy was predeceased by her parents James Edwin and Gladys May Hawley, her brother Donald John Hawley, her husband, Malcolm Robinson, and she leaves behind in her legacy her caring children Wendy (Pat) McKay, Dave (Marilyn), Scott (Julie), and Bruce (Lydia) as well as loving grandchildren Tim (Charlene), Katie (Alex), Dillon, Lauren, Lindy, Leah, Logan and Halle along with great-grandchildren Liam and Bridgette. Many of Nancy’s fondest memories were spent exploring the diversity of the natural world, particularly the ocean areas of the West Coast with her family and friends, imparting her abundant wisdom of the wonders of nature. She also enjoyed traveling to unique areas and learning about indigenous people and eco-systems. She was a caring and proud mother to her children providing encouragement and support as they pursued their ambitions in life. “Now I know why you always asked me to be strong… because you knew that one day I would need the strength to bear your loss. I miss you mum.” Sincere appreciation is extended to the thoughtful and hardworking nurses, nurse assistants and other staff at Sarcee Carewest as well as to the staff of Millrise Place, where Nancy resided until two years ago. A private memorial will be held at a later date. “Do not stand by my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow – I am a diamond glint upon the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain – I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush – I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling Áight. I am the soft starshine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry – I am not there – I did not die.
