Group decries use of trap

Raccoon euthanized after being caught in a foot-hold trap in Ladner IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

An animal welfare group is calling on the City of Delta to prohibit the use of a certain type of animal trap after a raccoon was euthanized after being caught in a foot-hold trap in Ladner.

On Monday afternoon, The Fur-Bearers, a B.C.based non-profit, issued a $1,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction to assist investigators in identifying who set the trap.

The organization has also contacted Delta to ask the city to consider a bylaw prohibiting the use of these traps the group says also pose risks to dogs

and cats, children and any animal that encounters them.

According to The FurBearers, a raccoon was found last week near 46A Street dragging a foot-hold trap for days. The raccoon was emaciated, dehydrated and had a broken leg.

The animal was humanely euthanized by Critter Care Wildlife Society.

“We don’t know who set this trap or why they set it, but we do know they caused a great deal of suffering for at least one animal,” said The Fur-Bearers spokesperson Michael Howie in a news release.

“Our hope is that someone will see this news, remember hearing something or seeing something, and

The organization has sent a letter to Delta requesting bylaws to prevent trapping and to encourage co-existence education.

tigating the matter.

“There are some complexities to this issue. We are a farming community and farmers are actually allowed to trap nuisance animals,” Coupar said.

“Trapping is the purview of the province, so we defer to the province and the provincial trapping and hunting regulations.

Having said that, we do have an animal control bylaw that prohibits allowing an animal to suffer, so bylaws is actually investigating this to determine the origins of this trap and if it was done according to trapping regulations or if this was just some joker throwing a leg-hold out in his backyard, which is irresponsible.”

A/Sgt. John Jasmins knows first-hand the importance of giving blood.

The Delta police officer returned to the job last week after recovering from injuries he sustained while coming to the aid of a stabbing victim outside Immaculate Conception school in North Delta in March.

Jasmins is advocating for Canadian Blood Services in its Sirens for Life campaign that began on May 1, one day after Jasmins returned to the job.

“This is the second time I have been involved in this. I was part of the campaign last year as well,” said Jasmins. “Having received blood twice in the last year and a half and both of them were instances that saved my life, it’s important for me to give back. Due to eligibility requirements, I can’t per-

example for others and demonstrates that we are Canada’s lifeline and that everyone has a part to play.”

The Sirens for Life campaign runs until June 16 and focuses on Canadian Blood Services partnering with emergency services and organizations to promote within their members, and throughout their respective communities as well, the importance of donating blood.

“They are the first responders, they are there first at the accident scenes and see the need for blood every day, so for us it’s important because they can talk about the need,” added Garcia.

“They rolling up their sleeves and donating blood shows the community their dedication in helping and serving their communities and at the same time encouraging and inspiring others.”

Jasmins said he’s an example of never knowing when you’ll need blood.

after he gave his credit card number to an online scammer who claimed to be from Microsoft.

Complainant’s computer apparently froze during an Internet search, and a screen popped up instructing him to call a number to pay for an online repair. He complied and during the course of the call granted the fraudster remote access to his computer. When he realized it was a scam, the complainant called police and shut down his computer.

Construction has started on enclosed facility

Composter and East Ladner residents to appeal air quality permit at hearing next month SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Work is underway to build a fully enclosed facility at a highly contentious composting operation in East Ladner.

Delta council on Monday received a staff update on the GFL EnviroSmart Organics, which is required to have its facility on 72nd Street enclosed to collect and treat odorous emissions by March 1, 2020.

Last summer, despite protest from area residents, many saying the operation should not have been allowed in the Agricultural Land Reserve, Metro Vancouver issued an air quality permit to GFL. That permit includes interim measures to regulate smells and a requirement for an enclosed facility with a biofilter by next year.

The permit was appealed to the province’s Environmental Appeal Board by GFL and 20 Delta residents.

The staff report notes Delta didn’t appeal because compliance with the permit conditions “would quickly and effectively reduce impacts on the neighbouring community.”

Delta, though, has been granted third party status in the appeal.

GFL claims the permit is unduly prescriptive and certain requirements are not necessary, while residents who are appealing have a number of concerns, including the permit being too vague and that its enforceability is questionable.

City manager Sean McGill pointed out the appeal is focused solely on the air permit and no other aspects of the operation.

Noting the Agricultural Land Commission deemed the operation compliant with the ALR, he reiterated that Delta believes the best solution is to enclose the operation and that it be built with the best standards of today.

The city is supporting more restrictive conditions for the permit, including no odour allowed beyond the property line of the facility.

The city has issued a building permit and work on the new facility began in late March.

Coun. Lois Jackson said

Metro Vancouver hasn’t dealt with the compost operation from the beginning and that mitigation was only sought “after the horse left the barn.”

She added that unless

there’s a change to prevent such a problem facility from disrupting a community, “maybe we’ll get another one, heaven knows.”

Mayor George Harvie

agreed, saying the regional district has no plan to address how to handle green waste as well as figure out where all the waste from Richmond’s contentious Harvest Power will

end up, let alone where the region’s solid waste will go once the Vancouver Landfill closes.

Council members agreed to request Metro officials appear as a del-

egation to discuss the situation.

The hearing dates for the appeals have been set for June 3 to 18 and June 26 to 28 at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn.

The federal government has to step up to stop the stink.

That’s what Delta South MLA Ian Paton and Langley East MLA Rich Coleman are saying about several cannabis growing greenhouse operations.

In a letter to federal Attorney General David Lametti and Health Minister Ginette Petitpas, the Liberal MLAs say they’re bringing forward concerns on behalf of their constituents due to the “constant odour being released by licensed cannabis businesses in our ridings.”

They say the operations that need immediate enforcement are the Canopy Growth greenhouses in Aldergrove and East Delta as well as Village Farms in East Ladner and Rubicon Organics in East Delta.

Noting federal cannabis regulations stipulate a building, or part of the

Liberal MLAs say greenhouses growing marijuana are negatively impacting residents. building, where cannabis is produced, packaged, labeled and stored must be equipped with a system that filters air to prevent the escape of odours, Paton and Coleman say they’re lodging a formal complaint and requesting immediate enforcement.

“Our constituents have been complaining about the negative impacts these irritating odours have had on their health and lifestyle,” said Paton, the Liberal agriculture cocritic, in a news release.

“These cannabis companies have a duty to contain these scents, yet haven’t been cooperating.”

Coleman said the fed-

eral regulations are very clear.

“These operators should be following good production practices, and that includes equipping their facilities with proper air filtration systems,” said Coleman. “Unfortunately, these companies are failing to comply and local residents are suffering as a result.”

The issue was also raised by Delta Mayor George Harvie who said he was concerned that while operations in industrial zones have strict odour guidelines imposed

by Health Canada, those don’t apply for greenhouses in farming areas.

No cuts this time doesn’t address difficult decade

$10 million cut from school budget in 10 years SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

This year’s good news budget for the Delta school board doesn’t hide the fact the district has gone through an extended time of painful cuts, $10 million worth over the past decade.

Chairperson Laura Dixon had that to say at the board of education’s meeting last Tuesday where trustees approved the operating budget for next year. The latest budget sees no cuts to any department for the first time in many years and also includes a small surplus of about $63,000.

Dixon said while she’s pleased increased funding from the province has helped the district stay in the black and avoid cuts, pervious boards had been forced to make “some very tough decisions” due to chronic underfunding.

Those cuts worked out to $10 million over the last 10 years, she said, adding the district has still been

able to provide strong student support and achieve one of the highest graduation rates in the province, but more work needs to be done.

Noting the increased funding doesn’t make up for what has been chopped, she said Delta trustees and the B.C. School Trustees Association will continue to advocate for better funding.

Trustee Val Windsor

s % 25 FFagnoest1ic5 Ore Di - Jun

noted that her reaction to this year’s budget is one of relief, but “there’s no rebuilding yet.”

Saying he’d like to see additional support and prep time for education assistants, trustee Bruce Reid agreed much still needs to be done to address previous cuts.

Trustee Nick Kanakos said cuts made in previous budgets have caused extreme hardship in a number of areas.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

t’s not like any of us will be around to call them on it.

As you likely know by now, mayors and First Nations chiefs in this part of the region have reached a consensus when it comes to a new crossing of the south arm of the Fraser River and have recently written Premier John Horgan to urge him to get going on an eight-lane tunnel.

First off, Delta Mayor George Harvie deserves credit for bringing the politicians together so they could all get on the same page, which has provided the united voice the province sought. To get there Harvie had to give up on the dream of a 10-lane bridge, and while I completely understand the pragmatism, I wonder what that will mean moving forward.

In their letter to the premier, the regional politicians stated the crossing should include six lanes for regular traffic as well as two lanes for transit and that it should be designed to serve the needs of the region to at least 2100. I’m not so sure those two points are necessarily compatible.

Given the four-lane George Massey Tunnel struggles mightily to cope with today’s traffic volumes, you would need to add another lane in each direction simply to address the rush hour congestion experienced present day. You get that with the proposed crossing, but that’s the extent of the additional vehicle lanes, which puts a heck of a lot of pressure on those two transit lanes, which are anticipated to be rapid bus at opening with the ability to convert to rail sometime in the future.

I realize that building your way out of congestion is a fantasy, so the transit component of any new crossing was always going to be a massive part of any effort to keep commuters moving, however, it’s also a fairy tale to think that a tunnel with barely enough vehicle lanes to handle today’s traffic is somehow going to serve a far flung region for the next 80 years.

Buses already get to push to the front of the line, so adding dedicated lanes across the water will only help so much.

In other words, if those lanes are really going to be effective in reducing the single-occupant vehicles that clog the highways, they’ve got to provide some sort of rapid transit option.

Otherwise, the tunnel idea that regional politicians are shopping to Victoria won’t make it anywhere close to 2100.

There’s a story behind every house sporting for sale sign

T

here are five houses for sale on my block. Five.

That means 32 per cent of my block is up for grabs. They range in price from $1 million to $2.3 million. If they all sell at the asking prices, that’s $9.4 million worth of transactions. That’s a lot of cash in a housing market that has been struggling lately.

When a for sale sign goes up in my neighbourhood, I’m instantly curious because I know there’s a story behind every move. It may be a job transfer, a divorce, downsizing or upsizing, but more likely it’s the new reality, home owners are getting old.

Here are the five stories from my block: My divorced neighbour died suddenly of cancer last fall and his children are selling his locally designed waterfront home.

A much loved elderly couple who has lived in the neighbourhood for over 30 years is moving to be near family because of failing health. Elderly landlords have asked their longtime tenants to move out because it’s time for them to sell. A widow is selling because, understandably, she wants to move closer to her family in the city. A beautiful waterfront house, built by the original owners 39 years ago, has been vacant for years after the owner went

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

into long-term care. Now her children are selling their beloved family home.

In my little corner of South Delta the future of real estate is here. There’s no speculation or land assemblies happening and flipping houses is no longer viable; most sellers are local longtime families who must sell for personal reasons.

South Delta is a desirable, stable community and many people have raised children and retired in their single detached homes, but increasingly our neighbours are getting old, and sometimes sick, and they will be forced to sell.

The question is who will buy their homes? Not our children, they simply can’t afford starter homes in the $1 million range.

The days of relying on foreign investors to swoop in and buy our overpriced homes is gone.

A speculation tax and stricter ownership rules have made sure of that. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver released its April stats and to no surprise sales and prices are dropping. We are in a buyer’s market with a glut of listings popping up like dandelions.

Cost and profits aside, it’s a social shift that’s at the heart of this change. There are a lot of worried seniors, and soon to be seniors, who are relying on their house sale as a financial windfall for retirement. Dropping house prices will surely put a different spin on that scenario, especially if you have a hefty line of credit.

Aging baby boomers are already defining the housing market so while we can celebrate a price correction for first-time buyers, there are going to be some people caught in the wake.

Let’s be thoughtful to the sellers because there’s always a personal back story that we should all heed.

Think about the families left behind by every obituary

Editor: Each week when the Optimist arrives, I glance through the pages but stop and read, carefully, each of the obituaries.

What I read is a capsule of a life that had in its owner’s period on Earth, a wealth of living, be it for a short spell or a long time. The obits convey a wealth of information about the dearly departed and in so doing open the door for others to better understand the deceased person, their likes, their accomplishments, their hobbies, their employment, their travels, and

a host of other points that combined were the human being named in the obituary.

What is not included in the obituaries is the deep hurt, severe agony and feeling of utter hopelessness that follows the passing of a dearly loved person, be that person a wife, a husband, a daughter or son, or any other member of a family or a close friend.

The personal comments that come from friends at the passing of a loved one are welcomed and much appreciated and do tend to soften the recent loss. It

is my hope that when people read an obituary, they think of and about the family that has been left behind and offer a silent prayer for a safe journey regardless of where that journey might lead for we know not when our time will come and to be alone and adrift in a sea of wonder is best done with friends and family close.

At my reading of each obituary, I offer a silent prayer for the soul of the departed and a prayer for the family left behind. I grieve as do those who remain behind.

Embrace past with neighbourhood signs

Editor: I’ve seen quite a few stories recently on social media with history and pictures of Tsawwassen.

The pictures usually generate many positive comments and fond nostalgic memories, especially from those of us who were raised here.

That said, would City of Delta consider replacing some town signage which has disappeared

over the past few decades?

Specifically I’m thinking about the two neighbourhood signs (metal letters mounted on the rock walls) built on the corners of 6th Avenue and Milsom Wynd as well as 6th Avenue and 52nd Street.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember the neighbourhood names but feel it’s important to retain and embrace our history as well our future. It also

creates a feeling of community for those living in the area.

Can anyone remember what the names on each wall were? I remember riding my bike past them many times as a kid but the names have faded in my mind.

I would guess the signs were vandalized and removed maybe 20 to 35 years ago.

South Delta drivers deserve better road designs

Editor: Re: 52nd Street stop sign creates major bottleneck, letter to the editor, May 2 Thank you, Barrie McDonald, for your letter.

And yes, the 52nd Street stop sign at the top of the hill has no purpose other than being a useless traffic obstruction.

Also, at the same intersection, travelling north and turning onto Upland Drive, the curb has been moved into the middle of the intersection so the natural (and previous) right turn lane is no longer doable. After over a year of digging up that section

Stop sign needed at blind intersection

Editor: Re: 52nd Street stop sign creates major bottleneck, letter to the editor, May 2 The answer to Barrie McDonald’s question is simple: The stop sign is to prevent morons coming

off the highway, speeding into our neighbourhoods, from causing a collision at the blind intersection of Upland Drive.

The problem is not the stop sign. The problem is poor driving.

Rian Dodds

over and over, it is now impossible to make that right hand turn and stay in the right lane. Try it.

These projects are extremely expensive yet there seems to have been no project management, and certainly no site visits.

This 52nd Street and Upland Drive intersection looks to be engineered by the same people who designed the Highway 17A merge with Highway 17.

We deserve better for our money.

111–1315 56th Street Located in Town Centre Mall

LADNER 604.943.1446 4882 Delta Street

Editor: I have been a resident of Tsawwassen for almost 30 years. For the past decade we have been considering downsizing, but want to stay in Tsawwassen because we have a daughter and grandson who live here and have a number of local friends.

We have attended all the community information sessions related to the Southlands and visited the demonstration home at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. The Southlands offers the environment we would like to live in because it is close to the Town Centre Mall, near Beach Grove Golf Club, on flat, walkable land, near Boundary Bay Regional Park, and offers suitable accommodation, and is proposing services attractive to us. We are anxious to see the con-

struction proceed.

I was disappointed to see Delta council had not approved the Four Winds proposal for the Southlands. I think it would be an attraction, for not just the Southlands, but all Tsawwassen residents, particularly the many who would be within walking or biking distance.

South Delta has changed. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s malls and Tsawwassen Springs have demonstrated that people want to live and support services in the area. Unfortunately these facilities are focused in one region. The proposed Four Winds facility would provide a venue within walking distance for those of us who live south of 8A Avenue.

As a Tsawwassen resident, I believe that

Century Group has demonstrated a major interest in keeping Tsawwassen economically viable and to attract new residents. I have friends who rent from the company in Tsawwassen and they consider it a good landlord.

We shop at the Town Centre Mall which is a pleasure to visit. While I do not personally know anyone in the Century Group, it is common knowledge they live in Tsawwassen and promote the community. I agree with them that the Four Winds Brewing facility would help to vitalize the southern side of Tsawwassen and enhance it as an excellent place to live.

Consequently, I urge council to reconsider the Four Winds application and support the future of Tsawwassen.

Bill Sharkey

Having restaurant within walking distance of customers eliminates drinking driving risk Editor: I am writing concerning the proposed Four Winds development on the Southlands.

There will be 950 housing units built in that immediate area whose occupants will at times enjoy the restaurant and

this will no doubt eventually be combined with those from adjoining neighbourhoods (and I include Boundary Bay residents).

Having a restaurant within walking distance takes a lot of risk from drivers who might over

imbibe. No one is addressing this and it certainly should be factored in when making a final decision.

Putting this facility next to a major highway system only invites eventual disaster.

If you’re not ready to be self-sufficient for 72 hours, then Emergency Preparedness Week is a good time to get organized Ian Jacques ijacques@delta-optimist.com

A

Fallen trees and damage to vehicles and homes were widespread throughout Delta in late December when a wicked windstorm slammed the South Coast.

re you ready for an emergency?

It’s a question many of us think about, but, in most cases, only really ask ourselves once a disaster has come and gone.

“After an emergency, like the windstorm in December, it is even more vital for us to be prepared so we can help to take care of not only ourselves and our families, but our friends and neighbours too,” said Kate Steel, the City of Delta’s emergency social services coordinator.

“Our first responders may not be out there in the first hours being ready to take care of people, so the more that people can think about their own vulnerabilities, their own limitations and prepare for supporting themselves after a disaster, the better off they will be.”

Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs May 5 to 11, is an opportunity to encourage people to take action to be better prepared. This year’s theme is Be Emergency Ready.

While governments at all levels work to

keep residents safe, everyone has a role to play in being prepared, which means having the knowledge and equipment necessary to cope when disaster strikes.

“We certainly received more calls after the windstorm from people looking for information on how they can prepare themselves and their neighbours,” said Steel.

In the first few hours of an emergency event, residents, in many cases, will be on their own.

“I think as far as emergency management goes, our first responders are going to be very taxed at the point of a large event, be it an earthquake or a big storm event, and our goal is to make sure that the people of Delta are prepared to be able to take care of themselves for a minimum of 72 hours,” said Dave Ayton, emergency management, Delta Fire Department. “That is how long it is going to take us to figure out where we have to send people, whether it is an issue of sheltering in place or sending people to community centres.”

Ayton said residents also have to understand about not overloading 9-1-1 and know the best ways to communicate with friends and family.

“These are all our concerns because we will not be able to operate as we normally do on a regular day,” he said. “During the December windstorm, for instance, there was a lot of people

May 9, 2019 The Delta Optimist A13 calling 9-1-1 simply to say that there were wires down. We had a lot of calls come into us that were essentially, for us, stop, have a look and assess and we had to move on because there was not much we could do. Prioritizing calls is essential for all of us and essential for the public to learn about as well.”

He said the goal in any major emergency is to establish the ability and condition of the infrastructure in the first 24 hours.

“We will also be getting information in from our large stakeholders like BC Ferries, Deltaport, BC Hydro, so to know that our infrastructure is solid and working is vital,” he said.

Make an emergency plan We can’t prevent disasters from happening, but residents can prepare to avoid suffering, minimize damage and come through the recovery period as quickly as possible.

It will take you about 20 minutes to make a family emergency plan online. You can then print it out. See examples at: www.Getprepared.gc.ca.

Before starting, you will need to think about:

• Safe exits from home and neighbourhood • Meeting places to reunite with family or roommates • Designated person to pick up children should you be unavailable • Contact persons close by and out-of-town • Health and insurance information • Places for your pet to stay • Risks in your region • Location of your fire extinguisher, water valve, electrical panel, gas valve and floor drain

Make or get an emergency kit

RIGHT: In an emergency, you will need some basic supplies. You may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be selfsufficient for at least 72 hours.

“Our message to people is: know your risks, know what is going to be happening in the community for disaster, make a plan for your family (at work, at home, at play) and make a kit,” said Steel.

“A kit is a very easy thing to get together. You can certainly go out and buy one, but everything you need can be accessed in your home and should be in an easy-to-grab kit stored near an exit that you can grab and go in the event you have to evacuate.”

“We urge people to contact us at any time,” added Steel. “If they have a strata or a neighbourhood group of 15 or more people that they would like a presentation, we would be happy to come out and give a personal presentation on how to get prepared. “Emergency preparedness is never important until it is, so anything that people can do to lead up to an event is great.”

Conservative nomination is back to one candidate

Ireland withdraws after Corbet announcement SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Almost as soon as a second candidate entered the race for the federal Conservative nomination in Delta, the first candidate has withdrawn.

Angelina Ireland confirmed to the Optimist last Friday that she has withdrawn her bid to be the Conservative candidate in this fall’s federal election.

Ireland, who had applied to the party a year ago, said she would not comment further at this time.

Tsawwassen First Nation member Tanya Corbet announced last week that she’s seeking the Conservative nomination.

Corbet made her formal announcement to about 50 supporters at Tsawwassen Springs last Wednesday afternoon, saying she’s passionate about the Delta and TFN communities and has dedicated much of her life to enhancing community projects and organizations.

PHOTO BY SANDOR GYARMATI

Tanya Corbet addresses supporters while Coun. Lois Jackson looks on.

A former legislative member of the TFN government, Corbet said she felt now is the time to take her experience to the national level and represent Delta, adding it’s also time to take the nation out of scandal. She said Canada needs new leadership to address the needs of Delta.

Former TFN chief Tony Jacobs and current Delta council member Lois Jackson also spoke in support of Corbet at her launch event.

The Conservatives are expected to hold a nomination meeting in early

June.

Meanwhile, the Greens last week confirmed that Craig DeCraene will be their candidate in Delta in the upcoming election.

DeCraene ran for Delta council in last fall’s civic election.

The NDP and People’s Party of Canada have yet to announce Delta candidates.

The Delta riding is currently held by firstterm Liberal MP Carla Qualtrough, a key member of Justin Trudeau’s cabinet.

The election will be held Oct. 21.

Month-long public hearing on T2 gets underway next week SANDOR GYARMATI

BETTER MEALS

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The dates and times for an extensive public hearing on the proposed Terminal 2 expansion at Roberts Bank have been set.

To run from May 14 to June 24, the hearing will begin with 15 days in Delta before going to Vancouver and Vancouver Island for eight days.

The independent federal review panel hosting the hearing notes that those wanting to attend should carefully check the location of the various sessions as they do change over the course of the hearing.

A detailed schedule of presenters and a webcast/ audio link to observe the proceedings will also be provided.

The first session takes place Tuesday, May 14 at Tsawwassen Springs, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. That session will focus on motions and procedural matters, while general hearing sessions begin the next day at the same venue and times.

Terminal 2 is a proposed three-berth container terminal that would be built on a man-made island adjacent to the existing port facilities at Roberts Bank.

The hearing will continue most days in May at various venues in Delta.

Some of the sessions will focus on particular topics.

Terminal 2 is a proposed three-berth container terminal that would be built on a man-made island adjacent to the existing Deltaport container terminal.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says it’s

needed to handle an expected increase in container shipments on the West Coast while opponents say it would create irreversible environmental damage.

The review panel says it recognizes a number of outstanding concerns and questions remain, adding the most effective approach to advance the panel’s understanding is to

move to the next stage of the environmental assessment process.

“The public hearing is designed to address many of the topics the panel and the public remain concerned about.”

NEED BEER MONEY?

Delta looking at possible locations for brew pubs SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The Four Winds application might be dead in the water but now the city is floating a new idea.

Delta council agreed with a motion put forward

by Mayor George Harvie Monday to have staff report back on the potential of allowing brew pubs in Delta, something currently not permitted in the city’s zoning.

Staff will look at areas where such operations could be zoned, includ-

ing the Southlands, the Ladner waterfront as well as locations in North Delta.

Harvie noted what needs to be made clear, and what people might not understand, is that there’s a difference between a brew pub and a craft beer brewery. He also noted the city’s move is not a reconsideration of the Four Winds application despite many letters to council and a petition in support of the proposal.

Last month council voted 4-3 to reject the Four

#200 - 1179 56th Street, Tsawwassen (next to CIBC) 604.948.7697 Sunday-Thursday: Noon -9:00pm Friday & Saturday: Noon - 10:00pm

Winds application with Dylan Kruger, Lois Jackson and Alicia Guichon voting in favour, while Harvie was the deciding vote, joining Bruce McDonald, Jeannie Kanakos and Dan Copeland in opposition.

Four Winds Brewing applied to have a craft brewery and 200-seat restaurant in the commercial component of the Southlands development in Tsawwassen.

The proposal would have seen the brewery and eatery housed in a roughly 30,000-square-foot build-

ing that would have been up to 51 feet in height.

It would have contained the brewing and bottling components of the operation, while the warehousing and distribution would be handled elsewhere.

A distillery and winery would have been in two other smaller buildings, although Adam Mills, sales and marketing director at Four Winds, said those components were added

by Century Group and Four Winds had no intention of incorporating them into its project.

Barn owlets ready to hatch at Earthwise barn in ’Bay

For the last four years, Earthwise volunteers and staff have been closely monitoring the breeding pair of barn owls in the loft of the Earthwise barn at the society’s Boundary Bay site.

Aided by Sofi Hindmarch, wildlife biologist and Canadian barn owl expert, this pair of owls has successfully raised an average of three fully fledged barn owlets per year.

Delta Naturalists have been great supporters of this project and donated the latest nesting box.

With three cameras in the barn loft, including one in the nesting box, Earthwise staff, volunteers and visitors have been able to watch these birds throughout the year.

The two adults roost in the loft of the barn 365 days of the year and only venture out after dusk to forage for food. Once the barn owlets are old enough to leave the nesting box, they learn to fly in the safety of the barn

Get the results you want from experienced dentists who LISTEN, SERVE & CARE.

Wildlife biologist Sofi Hindmarch has banded most of the Earthwise owlets. loft, which accounts for the high number of owlets successfully fledging from the Earthwise site.

“Barn owls in British Columbia are now a threatened species and we have to ensure that measures are taken to reduce or mitigate any impacts on them,” says Hindmarch.

She has banded most of the Earthwise barn owlets, and in some cases measured their pesticide levels

in order to be able to study any possible local impacts.

This year the female Earthwise barn owl laid her first egg in early April and hatching should commence in the next week.

You can see the barn owls on the screen that is set up in the Earthwise Farm Store, which opens May 11.

University seeks participants for new hearing study.

Connect Hearing, in conjunction with Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph, are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. Of particular interest to the researchers is identifying how we listen. There is a current theory that divides people into two “listening groups”. People in the first group need to put more effort into their listening, while members in the second group aren’t easily distracted.

It’s the people in the first group

who will look for a solution to their hearing loss sooner than the second group, even though the level of hearing loss could be very similar. The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from oneon-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help. You’ll be playing an important part in a study that will further identify the key factors impacting hearing difficulties and better understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study

New name for society reflects commitment to Delta’s heritage The Delta Museum and Archives Society has announced a new name, Delta Heritage Society, reflecting a response to the society’s changing operations over the past three years.

“This new name reflects our continued commitment to serve as the community’s voice for all heritage matters while providing a broader scope for our activities” said society president Barbara Baydala.

In 2016, the society partnered with the City of Delta to redesign the operations of the Delta Museum and Archives.

The city is in the process of turning the old courthouse in the civic precinct into a cultural centre to replace the Delta Museum that had been housed in a century-old building on Delta Street in Ladner Village.

Delta will take over dayto-day operations of the cultural centre, but the society will still own the collection.

Since the implementation of this new plan, board members have worked to explore and

define new ways of telling a more comprehensive story of Delta’s history.

“Our new look and name capture our determination to chronicle the wide variety of stories that have influenced the progression of our community to where we are today,” said Baydala.

As a first step in ensuring a broader voice for heritage, a North Delta advisory group was formed to capture and share the unique stories of this community while ensuring representation within the Delta Heritage Society. The success of this group has led the society to begin implementation of a South Delta advisory group.

Baydala encourages members of the community who have an interest in heritage, an idea for a heritage project or questions about Delta’s heritage to contact the society at 604-946-9315 or info@ deltaheritagesociety.ca.

The new name is effective immediately and will be implemented across the society’s operations throughout 2019.

OWL opens its doors to public

OWL held its annual open house last weekend to provide the public with a behind the scenes look at the East Ladner bird rehab facility. One of the highlights each day was a bird release. See more photos at www. delta-optimist.com.

Retirees Among Those To Benefit From New Hearing Aid Try newly released hearing aids ideal for the modern lifestyle: full surround sound, plenty of power, & no more feedback! ‡ Just weeks ago, a brand new hearing aid line was released to the public and it’s transforming the hearing experience for its wearers.

Most hearing aids deal with background noise using directional microphones that focus only right in front of you--like blinders for your ears.

No more! These new hearing aids process signals so exceptionally fast, they handle sound from all directions—greatly improving your ability to hear and comprehend speech, even in noisy environments.

Most hearing aids have to reduce gain (amplification strength) to avoid causing feedback. Not these! These

new hearing aids eliminate obnoxious screeching and whistling before it even starts—while maintaining necessary gain.

Connecting to your modern lifestyle is easy! Make hands-free calls from your smartphone, or stream audio from your phone, stereo, TV, or other Bluetooth® enabled devices.

These can even be purchased with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery option.

Yes, the future of hearing is here and it sounds better than ever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Universal coverage of prescription drugs will be the topic at next week’s meeting of the Probus Club of South Delta.

Probus, a non-profit, fellowship club for retired and semi-retired professional and business people, will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, May 15 at 9:30 a.m. at the Beach Grove Golf Club.

The meeting is open to all residents of Delta.

Probus has arranged for Steve Morgan, Canada’s

leading expert on universal pharmacare, to give a presentation.

Probus believes it’s an important issue for all residents of Delta and will be a hot topic in the upcoming federal election campaign.

Morgan is expected to lay out the case for universal pharmacare, drawing on more than 20 years of experience studying pharmacare systems in Canada and comparable countries.

Morgan is a professor of

health policy at UBC and is Canada’s leading expert on universal pharmacare.

His research has sparked national debate about how pharmacare can provide universal access to appropriately prescribed, affordably priced and equitably financed prescription drugs.

Morgan has published more than 150 peerreviewed research papers and has provided policy advice to governments.

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

Every so often, it happens.

The husband and I will be contemplating the food intake, and resolve to make some changes.

“We should eat less meat,” the husband will observe.

“We should,” I will agree.

“We should eat more fish,” he will continue.

“We should,” I will say.

“We should go on the Mediterranean diet,” he will say.

“We should,” I will say.

Horsing Around in Delta

And so we will try — for a week or two anyway. The roasts and the ribeyes will be struck from the shopping list.

And in their place, we will jot down the Mediterranean things. You know. Tomatoes. Olives.

Fish and nuts.

This will continue, oh, until I am wandering around the grocery store and spot a big old rack of ribs or some sale-priced Italian sausages.

Enter: the meat. Exit: the olives.

In theory, we’d love to be vegetarians. Problem is, we also love a grilled porterhouse slathered with teriyaki sauce and topped with wine-glazed mushroom sauce. Rare, of course, with taters on the side.

Sigh. We’re rather fond of meat.

If we ever make it to vegetarian nirvana, however, I know what we likely wouldn’t do. That is to say,

we probably wouldn’t be inclined to go for food that looks like meat, but, well, isn’t.

You know what I mean.

A tofurkey does not a turkey make — at least in my humble opinion.

This strikes me as curious. I would be no more inclined to buy a steak that wasn’t made from meat than I would be to drive a bicycle that looks like a car.

If I’m wanting to spend less time watching the boob tube, I’m not likely to sit around and stare at a cardboard box that, well, looks like a television. You get the idea.

Go big or go home, I say.

At some point, we will make the turn and do the vegetarian thing. For now, however, we’ll do what we do and stick with the status quo.

Grilling season has just begun, and the ribs are calling our names.

Horse Care and Safety Horses are beautiful, large and powerful animals.

Contrary to popular belief, all horse-related accidents do not happen when riding a horse. While many injuries result from falling off of a horse, injury also can occur during routine daily horse chores. Even the smallest or most mild-mannered horses have the potential to hurt someone if they are scared or startled. While no one should ever fear a horse, certain recommendations can help you avoid kicks, bites or trampled feet when interacting with horses.

Understanding horses can reduce your risk of injury. Horses are prey animals in the wild, and they are genetically predisposed to outrunning predators. Domestic horses may still have that fight or flight behavior ingrained in them. Should a horse become startled, it may react by running away. The goal is to remain calm and quiet around a horse. Sudden moves, especially when the horse is getting to know you, can cause a horse to kick out or shy (jump sideways).

Pain can cause any animal to act out of character. A horse in pain may be sluggish or unresponsive, while another may act aggressively. Be extra careful around sick horses or when engaging in any activities that may make the animal uncomfortable.

Check the horse for injuries or soft spots before grooming. Poor-fitting tack can make a horse uncomfortable and the horse may attempt to nip at you or the tack when tightening the girth.

Horses should be tied up when they are being groomed or tacked-up, even if they are in a stable. This enables you to move quietly and confidently around the horse. When grooming a horse, make sure the animal is wearing a well-fitting head collar and that the lead rope is secured through a loop attached to the tying up ring. Horse handlers should remain calm but confident around horses, as the animal will get its cues from its handler.

Never stand directly in front of or behind a horse, which can easily injure you with one kick of its leg. Horses have amazing peripheral vision but two blind spots. One blind spot is directly in front of his nose extending around four feet in front of it.

The second blind spot is behind the tail. Horses will not be able to see you if you approach in their blind spots, and that could spook the animal. The safest place to stand is beside your horse’s shoulder where you can see each other.

Feed from buckets. When giving food or treats to a horse, do so from a feeding trough or bucket. A horse may not mean to bite, but when excited about treats he could mistake fingers for food.

Always wear appropriate attire when around horses. A substantial shoe or boot will protect your feet against trampling and give you adequate traction. Gloves can be used when handling. Clothing should be well-fitting so that you do not become tangled or ensnared. Riders should wear a riding helmet to protect against head injuries and a crash vest to protect the torso. Brightly colored clothing or reflective gear is advisable when riding in poor visibility or near moving vehicles.

Local celebs to get locked up

Rotary Club of Tsawwassen hosting Get out of Jail fundraiser next week IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

South Delta celebrities are being locked up, but your donations can help set them free.

The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is hosting its inaugural Get out of Jail fundraiser on Wednesday, May 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rotary Square in the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

“There are a lot of local people who are pretty influential in the community and we thought we could leverage them a bit, so basically they will be arrested by Delta police and taken to jail,” said Tsawwassen Rotarian Mitch Romano.

“The participants will then ask their friends or colleagues to pledge funds to bail them out. The public can also support the cause as well.”

Partial proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Cops for Cancer and the Delta Police Foundation, with the remaining funds helping to support the many community events and initiatives spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen.

Delta Optimist general manager Dave Hamilton, a member of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen, is one of the local celebrities participating in the Get out of Jail fundraiser at Rotary Square on May 15.

Tsawwassen hosts many free events throughout the year and completes various projects all over the world, from Tsawwassen to Africa,” Romano said. “The water park, Christmas

lights at Diefenbaker, the Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast, the water fountain just are a few and the only way the community can continue to enjoy these events is through

fundraising efforts such as this.

“Community involvement is essential. We will be live streaming the event on Facebook. We hope everyone will participate

in what we think will be a really fun event.”

Donations can be made by sending the club a message on Facebook at: https:// www.facebook.com.

Delta Choral Society wants you to Just Imagine IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

It promises to be a day of music that will stir your emotions and elevate your soul.

Delta Choral Society presents Just Imagine, its annual spring concert, this Saturday at the South Delta Baptist Church in Tsawwassen. There will be performances at 2 and 7 p.m.

“I came across a version of the song Imagine and when I heard it I thought I could form the whole show around this theme,” said director Danielle Hamilton. “Just imagine a world without the simple things — love, peace — imagine if we didn’t have what we have and we weren’t so grateful?

“It’s about the importance of music and how it brings people together from all walks of life to cre-

All four choirs that make up Delta Choral Society will perform during both concerts with a first for the choir to open the show.

“For the first time in

our history we will see all the performers on stage together at the same time,” Hamilton said. “This will be just over 200 singers and quite a large band, so this will kick off the shows in a big way. This is going to be the greatest show.”

Hamilton said the adult choir will sing throughout and the children’s choir is featured in the first half of

the show with the second half featuring the community choir and chamber choir.

“I made a big change — I’ve been directing for almost 11 years — and six or seven years ago I asked everyone to memorize the music, so no music sheets as guides during performances,” she said.

“What a difference. It’s

just a beautiful thing to have then all engaged in the audience and it makes for such a powerful show.

I’m really proud of everyone.”

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors/students and free for children under 10. They’re available in advance at www. deltachoral.ca, from choir members or at the door.

South Delta artist and teacher Teresa Massel will once again be offering classes to those looking to foster their own well-being through their art.

Her classes will run from May 13 to June 17 at the South Delta Recreation Centre in Tsawwassen.

Participants will learn how therapeutic art making and interpreting your own art can help increase emotional well-being and resilience. No art making experience is required.

“My classes have been said to be enjoyable, relaxing and they are intended to support women interested in strengthening their creative ‘inner artist’ while assisting in a gentle evaluation of personal wellness in a non-disclosing way,” said Massel.

“Since no artistic skills are needed, I provide basic art instruction individually during the classes and all art materials are provided.

These classes are for therapeutic expressive art

Massel ran several classes last year that she said were a big success.

“I had a solid group of eight women — they loved it — it was life changing for them,” she said.

She said the idea for the classes came from her more than 20 years as a

registered art therapist.

The classes are offered in partnership with the City of Delta. Participants can register for the classes, which are $100 plus tax, by phone at 604-952-3000 or at Delta.ca. Class size is limited to 10 participants.

If classes fill up, participants wishing to learn about more about Massel’s future classes can email her at: deltaarttherapy@ gmail.com.

Honouring imperfect moms

I always struggled to buy a card for my mom on Mother’s Day. For the most part I cherished my mother.

She was fiercely independent, adventurous, a rebel and always doing something that made us howl in laughter. Yet there were the times when she drove me absolutely insane!

The older I got, the more I could see how her history made building relationships difficult. The understanding helped but I still wondered at times if I should just write her off and walk away.

Yet, I came back always to this one thought: “She’s my mom.”

There is an exhortation

Minister’s Minute DANNY STEBECK

LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH

in the bible to honour our mother and father and it is accompanied by a promised blessing. I was schooled in the notion that God created family as a sacred space for nurturing love, honouring God and

BlinDS on Sale

raising children.

There are instructions in the bible on how to parent well, be a good spouse and even be a good son!

So no matter the feelings my mother generated in me by her actions, I was guided by this one truth: She’s my mom.

Mother’s Day is not about celebrating the perfect mother (despite what all the cards seem to say), it’s about imperfect children honouring their imperfect moms and finding some words to say, “Thank you.”

My mom’s up in heaven now but to all you imperfect moms out there, thank you for all you do, for all you sacrifice and, most of all, for just being mom.

Cummins’ long road to recovery Rugby standout returns for stretch run after devastating injuries a year earlier MARK BOOTH

m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Niall Cummins is ready for a hands on role in the South Delta Sun Devils’ march back to the B.C. AAA Boys Rugby Championships.

It was a little over a year ago, Cummins saw his Grade 11 season come to an abrupt halt after a horrific injury in a home game against Robert Bateman. In an attempt to pick up the loose ball, the standout scrum-half (or No. 9) was hit on each side by a couple of opponents. His upper body bounced upon impact but his legs remained firmly planted in the SDSS oval grass surface.

Niall Cummins is back on the field for the top ranked South Delta Sun Devils a year after he fractured his leg and tore the ACL in the other on the same play.

Niall Cummins “My feet just stayed when I got hit the first time and they stayed again on the second one as well.

I felt something pop in my right leg so I knew that was an MCL or ACL. The left leg I wasn’t sure about until I noticed the swelling,” recalled Cummins.

Delta Firefighters were first on the scene followed by an ambulance that drove right onto the field. The game was delayed for

about an hour before Cummins was off to Delta Hospital.

X-rays showed a clean break of the tibia in his left leg that at least wouldn’t require surgery. Doctors were also certain he had ligament damage in his right knee. An MRI four months later determined an ACL tear that would heal on its own.

The Sun Devils used the devastating injury to their popular teammate as a rallying point for the rest of the season.

Cummins cheered on from the sidelines in a walking cast and knee brace as South Delta went on to win its first-ever provincial championship.

Rugby has always been a big part of his life.

He has been playing at the club level for about a decade and his father Barry is a long time official.

Sure there was a desire to play again but not to the point where he would risk getting hurt again.

“Just watching them play, you want to get back on the field, even watching Six Nations (international men’s competition) on TV. But really my goal was to be able to go on a ski trip with my family over spring break,” said Cummins.

“When I felt comfortable skiing I thought why not put the cleats on again.”

Cummins received the blessing of his doctor and physiotherapist.

One final MRI revealed a clean bill of health and he made his return two weeks ago in a home field win

over DW Poppy. His workload has slowly increased with the playoffs looming.

“He is such a great story,” smiled South Delta head coach Spencer Baines. “Of all the guys on the team, he is the one that loves ruby the most. It is in his blood and he is such a natural.

“He seems like he is 100 percent and right now it is probably more psychological now than physical.

“Our current No. 9 has been phenomenal and he just started playing last year but I think you have to have Niall playing scrum half eventually and our current #9 on the field as well.

“Niall can be such a difference maker out there and his rugby IQ is off the charts.”

Sun Devils host Abbotsford to open Fraser Valley playoffs The undefeated South Delta Sun Devils produced a big win on Vancouver Island last Friday to secure their No. 1 provincial ranking yet enter this week’s Fraser Valley AAA playoffs as the No. 3 seed.

Such is the unique structure of B.C. high school boys rugby.

The Sun Devils will host Abbotsford in quarter-final play this afternoon (4 p.m.).

The Earl Marriott Mariners coming down from the five-team Premier League is what threw a wrench into the Valley seedings, in order to encourage teams to play at the elite tier.

That bumped South Delta into second in their pool and No. 3 in the Valley with Pool B champion Yale earning the No. 2 seed.

It’s a similar scenario to what happened a year ago when Marriott and the Sun Devils ultimately ended up in the Fraser Valley title game.

Islanders rally for overtime win

A terrific third period rally salvaged a weekend series for the Delta Junior Islanders Lacrosse program in a pair of games with the Nanaimo Timbermen.

The Islanders scored six of the game’s final seven goals in a 14-12 overtime win at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Sunday afternoon in B.C. Junior B Tier One play.

Nanaimo looked to be well on its way to a fourth straight win out of the gate when early third period tallies made it 11-8. However, the Islanders replied with three of their own, including Ben McDonald’s power play equalizer with 7:40 remaining.

The Timbermen opened the scoring in the 10-minute non-sudden death overtime period, but Delta responded with two more goals from McDonald and another from Jake McIntosh to cap the rally.

McDonald finished with six goals and two assists. The first-year standout has been a fixture in both the Junior “A” and Tier One’s line-ups so far this season.

McIntosh added five assists while Rhys Porteous had a hat trick and five points. Cody Hoegg scored twice with singles by Joey DeBaughn and Ryan Flack. Ashton LeClair was terrific in net with 51 saves.

Delta will look to build on its 2-0 record when New West visits Ladner on Friday at 8:30 p.m.

It’s wasn’t long ago when Shemar Dennison jumped into his diving career. Now the Ladner teen has been recognized among the best up-and-comers in the country.

Dennison is fresh off winning a pair of bronze medalists in the one and three metre springboard events at the Novice National Championships held at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre in Kamloops.

Now only did the Grade 10 student get to compete on the national stage for the first time, he was reunited with a number of athletes he met a year earlier at the B.C. Winter Games. He also created new friendships with competitors from outside the province.

Dennison trains regularly at the White Rock Divers Academy which is based out of the Grandview Aquatic Centre.

U18 Coastal Selects capture cup The Delta Coastal 2001 Selects have saved their best for last.

The graduating U18 girls Metro League soccer team is Coastal “A” Cup champions after a hardfought 2-1 victory over the North Shore Renegades on Sunday at Richmond’s Minoru Park. The result also sends Coastal to the Provincial “A” Cup Championships, slated for early July.

The girls finished tied for third in regular season play with a 7-4-4 record in what proved to be a tightly-contested division between five teams that were separated by six points.

Delta opened Coastal playdowns with a 2-0 quarter-final win over Richmond at Dugald Morrison Park then came through with a 2-1 semifinal road win against regular season champion Port Coquitlam Castilians.

That set the stage for the final with Delta and North Shore having split a pair of league games played before the December break.

Delta Coastal Selects goalkeeper Nastia Khotaintseva Lopez is mobbed by her teammates moments after the final whistle in the U18 Coastal Cup final.

Coastal got goals from Rachel Kibrai and Kylie Gee Kotanko while goalkeeper Nastia Khotiaintseva Lopez came up with a huge diving stop on a penalty in the late going.

The rest of the roster features: Emily

Mackenzie, Izabella Bryant, Jennifer Tinnes, Emily Vanspall, Mackenzie McGahey, Megan Woo, Michaela Estrada. Navi Parmar, Olivia Wickett , Sadie Baird, Samantha Squelch, Sydney Ellis, Taryn Webster, Natasha Knudsen and Rylee

Fitzgerald.

The girls are coached by Gord McGahey, Jonathon Bryant and Scott Ellis.

The provincials are slated for July 4-7 and will be in familiar territory for Delta Coastal with all games at the South Surrey Athletic Park.

MOWAT, Brent Alexander June 26, 1961 - February 11, 2019 Brent, alias “Big Daddy/Captain” passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends with his foot tapping to the music of Jack.

He was a son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband, a friend and a mentor. He fought to stay with us when many would have given in. Brent was always available to help others. The time of the call did not matter even as he weakened with his battle with cancer.

He loved the water, tug boating and fishing. He loved dogs, hunting, friends, family and new potatoes with spring salmon.

He is predeceased by his father Sid Mowat and survived by his mother Celia and sister Carol.

His wife Therese, father-in-law Gordon Arseneau, dog Byrtus and all of his friends and family will forever miss him.

We wish to thank Dr. R Turnbull, Dr. Parmar and Dr. P. Klimo for their assistance and support.

Donations may be made to Dr. Paul Klimo Cancer Foundation, Lions Gate Hospital, North Vancouver.

A celebration of life will be held at his home, 4485 Tamboline Road, Westham Island, on June 1st, 2019 2pm - 8pm.

MARLAND, Samuel August 13, 1926 - April 19, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sam Marland. Sam leaves behind his beloved wife of 70 years, Phyllis; his son Mike (Gill) and his sister Joan in the U.K. He is predeceased by his nine siblings.

Sam immigrated to Canada from the U.K. in 1958 and settled in Ladner where he resided until his death. He worked for the Delta School Board as a maintenance supervisor for nearly 30 years until his retirement. He also volunteered at the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store for over 25 years and he was very proud of having his photograph on the wall in Delta Hospital as a long-serving member.

At his request, there will be no funeral. Cremation arrangements by Delta Funeral Home.

Condolences may be offered at www.deltafuneral.ca Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040
