“Delta has racism — we need change. No justice — no peace.”

That was the chant for an estimated 400 people at an anti-racism rally and march last Saturday afternoon in Ladner.

The event, which saw a rally

outside city hall and a march around the civic precinct, was organized by Delta residents Julia Johnson Baker, Kate Henderson and Devon Young who started the Delta Families Against Racism Facebook group several weeks ago.

“We put this together because we were just three moms who

were just pretty much tired of listening to the stories happening in our communities,” said Henderson. “This is pretty historic. From what people have been saying, this is the first time to have a march of this kind on this particular topic, and so I think it is important as a community that we recognize this

because it is important. This topic is highly important.”

Former school district trustee Rhiannon Bennett gave a welcoming on behalf of the Musqueam Protocol Office and a land acknowledgment of the traditional territory of the Tsawwassen First Nation.

We are looking forward to getting you back on the road safely.

Surrey RCMP is continuing its investigation into an alleged altercation involving the wife of Delta police Chief Neil Dubord that has set off a firestorm in the community.

The alleged assault occurred on June 6 near the Dubords’ home on Centennial Beach in Boundary Bay, but didn’t become public until late last week when a video was posted to a private Facebook group.

“We will not be releasing details about the individuals involved or details of the allegations at this time,” said Cpl. Joanie Sidhu in an email to the Optimist earlier this week. “We are committed to doing a thorough investigation and while we cannot predict an exact date for our investigative tasks to be complete, our officers will work diligently to complete their work in a timely manner.”

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has assigned the Vancouver Police Department to carry out an external disciplinary conduct investigation.

The video posted June 24 shows a short verbal exchange between Lorraine Dubord and two of the alleged victim’s friends after the alleged altercation.

Altercation ignites firestorm

Lost at beach, teacher says she was sprayed with hose by police chief’s wife 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

Kiran Sidhu was at a socially-distanced picnic with friends at Centennial Beach on June 6. A Surrey resident and teacher in the Richmond School District, Sidhu left the gathering before the picnic was over.

Unfamiliar with the beach area, and with the tide coming in, Sidhu said she was forced to climb onto rocks, which according to the City of Delta are on public property, to get to where her car was parked.

As Sidhu walked across the rocks, she said Lorraine Dubord yelled at her over the fence from her back yard to get down, but with the tide coming in, Sidhu said she was unable to do so.

“There was no way to get through with the tide coming in,” she told the Optimist. “I started crawling, climbing the rocks and then this woman comes out from the home above me who I now know is Lorraine Dubord and she tells me to get down. I told her I was just trying to get back to my car and that there was no other way to get through.”

Sidhu said Dubord told her she should have been better prepared and ‘if I was as fat as you, I wouldn’t be at the beach.’

“I kept going, and I called her a ‘Karen’ and asked whether she was going to call the police.

She started it and I’m not one to be a victim of abuse from anyone,” Sidhu said. “I almost slipped at one point, and she said it would be so funny if you fell. I swore at her again

Chief Neil Dubord and his wife Lorraine. and she said she would spray me with her hose, which I told her would be assault because you would be making contact.”

Sidhu said Dubord then returned a minute or so later, allegedly spraying her with a garden hose.

“My face was wet, my hair was wet… it was so shocking,” she said.

“I didn’t expect that to happen. She is an adult woman, I’m an adult woman. That kind of assault is not something you’d expect to happen at the beach by people who live in these big, fancy houses.

“At one point she also told me to go home, to go home and that I didn’t belong there. Potentially racist or whatever you might want to call it and made to feel unwelcome in these white spaces, that I’m super aware of already as being as racialized woman who spends a lot of time in these white spaces as a teacher, as an active member of my union, all very white spaces and I work on changing

that.”

Sidhu said the next day she reported the incident to Delta police, adding she was not interviewed in person and was asked by the department to email her official statement.

She said she was contacted by phone by DPD on June 10 and told the investigation was closed.

“I felt like this happened very quickly… do all cases get solved this quickly?” she asked. “I really felt like something was missing. In that moment, I thought, wait, they didn’t even meet with me. That feels wrong.”

She said she filed a complaint with DPD on June 15 and on June 16 received an email from DPD introducing her to an investigating officer from Surrey RCMP. “It was a very pleasant email from Surrey RCMP and very transparent. The investigator said she had no knowledge of anyone involved in the case. I felt like that was a very good starting point,” Sidhu told the Optimist.

Lorraine Dubord issues apology A day after the video surfaced, Lorraine Dubord issued a statement exclusively to the Optimist.

“I would like to apologize to the individual involved in the way the situation was handled at Centennial Beach three weeks ago. Everyone should feel welcomed and supported in our community,” stated Dubord. “I trust that all the facts and the complete story surrounding this regrettable incident will be gathered in due course through the ongoing and independent RCMP investigation.

“I would like to reaffirm my ongoing commitment to promoting diversity and fighting racism and hate in our community. I will continue to listen and learn from the discourse occurring in our community on this matter.”

Sidhu said she was disappointed in the lack of empathy in Dubord’s statement.

“I feel like she didn’t take any responsibility. It

was not a genuine apology at all. She could have mentioned my name… at that point she knew my name,” said Sidhu. “That just further dehumanized me. It was bad enough to go through being sprayed like that… like some animal and she can’t use my name. This is part of the problem. We have to name these things, name these incidents, name the people involved to make it an issue that people should care about as we should.”

Community response The response has been overwhelming on social media as well as through a couple protests.

On Friday, a resident reportedly held a solo protest out front of the Dubords’ home, while late Sunday afternoon, about 25 residents went to Centennial Beach with signs with anti-racism messages and held what was described on social media as a peaceful protest near the rocks where the alleged encounter took place.

CONTINUED from Page 1 “All of a sudden I’m feeling a bit emotional as I speak here today.

This is not the first time I have spoken at a rally like this, but I honestly never thought I would be speaking at a rally like this in Ladner,” said Bennett.

Bennett said we have to confront racism head on.

“I don’t want to talk about equality. I don’t want to live in an equal world. I want to live in an equitable world,” she said.

“I want to live in a world where everybody’s needs are met. Your needs are different than my needs, but they are both valid.”

Malia Baker spoke of her experiences growing up as a black teen in Ladner.

“In Grade 7 for one of my last writing assignments that would determine a big percentage of my grade, I chose to write about my experiences as a black kid and my experiences of racism,” she told the crowd. “When I picked up my pen to start writing, I was shaking. I was shaking because out of the 460 students at my school, I was one of the only two black kids that I knew of and I was scared to turn in my report into the white

“I was shaking because when the word black was said in class heads would turn instantly in my direction. I was shaking because of the hundreds of times people would touch my hair even if I didn’t know the person like a pet to be groomed. I was shaking because of the times my so-called friends would say the n-word in a song and say, ‘Sorry Malia,’ but never apologizing for saying the word in the first place.

“I was shaking because of that time when I was

only 11 and went into a gas station and the white man behind the counter told me to leave my things at the front desk to know I wouldn’t steal and when I asked him why, he said he didn’t trust me because I looked like a thug, but when my white friends came in and he saw them, suddenly things were OK.” The City of Delta was represented by Mayor George Harvie, councillors Alicia Guichon and Dan Copeland as well as city manager Sean McGill. Also on hand were Delta South MLA Ian Paton, Delta MP Carla Qualtrough and assistant superintendent Nancy Gordon from the Delta School District.

Harvie said civic officials were there to listen and learn.

“As elected officials and leaders we have to do more to ensure we are doing everything possible to stop the systemic discrimination that is here… it’s obvious and we need to do more,” Harvie told the Optimist. “I talked about pre COVID-19 about doing a mayor’s summit on this topic, so next year we need to do this. I’m here to listen, learn and see what more I can do to help.”

FVRL targets August to reopen Delta libraries 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

The Fraser Valley Regional Library is targeting an August reopening of all its libraries, including branches in Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta, but will open sooner if it’s safe to do so.

FVRL CEO Scott Hargrove said the big question across the country is when libraries can reopen their doors to the public amidst the pandemic.

“We have been providing services pretty much throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Hargrove.

“Although our physical doors have been closed to the public, we have continued to provide a number of services to the public. We started the virtual programs, beefed up our electronics collection, things like e-books, audio books, access to streaming video services. All of those have seen massive increase in use.

“We also started doing curbside pick-up about three weeks ago. This has

Fraser Valley Regional Library branches in Delta started physically distanced pick-ups early last month through the FVRL Express initiative. been hugely well used.

Within the first two weeks we had 70,000 people who came to pick up their holds and materials.”

Hargrove said a few libraries in B.C. have reopened to the public, including one in Grand Forks, with very limited services, as well as Coquitlam Public Library, which opened late last month.

“The challenges for all of us has been the availability of PPE,” he said.

“The major challenge is

Plexiglass and we have an order out for all our libraries, which we expect to get back in the next two weeks. Another issue is the question of materials. So we have an issue whether materials could be infected. The research on this came out from library services just last week and they advise a three-day quarantine, which we have done from the beginning.”

Hargrove said a reduction in quarantine time could possibly come in July.

New complex in works on Evergreen Lane Almost 200 rental units planned for seniors and families in large-scale redevelopment project 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

A large-scale redevelopment that would create non-market seniors and family housing on Ladner’s Evergreen Lane has been well received by city hall.

Delta council has directed city staff to advance the application to the public consultation and detailed review stage.

The application put forward by Affordable Housing Societies is a twophased project with a total of 198 units. Phase one includes 130 seniors housing units in a four-storey apartment, while phase two includes 68 family housing units in a 48-unit, four storey apartment building and a 20-unit, three-storey townhouse building.

Council was in full support of the project in the 4600-block of Evergreen Lane, with Coun. Jeannie Kanakos going so far as to ask if it could be fasttracked.

“I totally support this initiative. Is there any way we can fast forward

this? It is an important initiative for non-market apartment buildings. The community is in need and I’m just wondering what steps we can take to ensure it moves through our process quickly,” said Kanakos.

Mayor George Harvie added that a recent council workshop with the applicant was very well received.

“It is going to be a tremendous asset and much needed for the community in Ladner,” he said.

According to a Delta staff report, the applicant has been in operation since 1982 as an owner and manager of rental housing for low and moderate income families, seniors, singles and couples. It represents the largest, private non-profit housing society in Canada providing a range of housing options for residents within Metro Vancouver.

It has been working for the past two years to develop a plan for the redevelopment of its properties on Evergreen Lane.

Funding for the project has been secured through

Staff are actively developing a strategy for public engagement that would include engagement by virtual means.”

City manager Sean McGill said staff will continue to work with the applicant and prioritize the application to move it forward as quickly as possible.

Spray parks have reopened, outdoor pools to follow suit

Delta reopened the city’s four spray parks last Friday and outdoor pools won’t be far behind.

Spray parks are now operational in Tsawwassen’s Diefenbaker Park, Ladner’s Memorial Park, North Delta’s Annieville Park and in the North Delta Social Heart Plaza.

The city says spray park equipment will not be san-

itized, so those visiting the parks are encouraged to practice physical distancing of at least two metres and to wash or sanitize their hands before and after use.

Starting Monday, July 6, Delta’s outdoor pools will be reopening to Delta residents with updated protocols to encourage physical distancing.

This year, both the

Ladner and North Delta outdoor pools will be available for free advanced bookings through DeltaReg.ca or by calling 604-952-3000.

Participants will be able to sign up for length swimming, water walking lanes and deep water running in 45-minute blocks, and family swims in 75-minute blocks at both outdoor pools.

Murphy’s Law TED MURPHY

T

hey would appear to be rather self-explanatory, but I’m starting to think there must be more to those arrows that have popped up on the floors of supermarkets and other stores in recent weeks.

There are no signs that explicitly direct customers to “Walk Only in the Direction of the Arrows,” but I assume, since I’ve graduated pre-school, that’s what management had in mind when they put them in place. It’s a lowtech way to manage traffic flow as we attempt to navigate our way through the new normal brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As simple as this approach appears, there’s obviously something more to it as I’ve encountered quite a few people who have clearly been given exemptions from adhering to the arrows, although I’m not sure whether these have come from store management or they’re more of a self-bestowed right.

It’s not always easy to ascertain why certain folks have been granted special privileges, but it seems, at least from my observations, wearing a mask can pretty much give you full run of the place, to the point where I think you’re even entitled to stand on my shoulders to get that bag of Doritos off the top shelf. To add to the confusion, many mask wearers have not been granted powers, while some of the mask-less among us have been exempted from following the arrows. It can all be quite perplexing.

It appears exceptions have been granted to those who are only after one item in the aisle, particularly if that item is near the end of said aisle, or if the item is a really good deal or in short supply. From what I can gather, you also don’t have to observe the arrows if you enter an aisle when it’s empty, although if you subsequently encounter someone in the other direction you are compelled to stare blankly at them.

If you’re so deep in concentration that you must furrow your brow in search of an elusive item, then it stands to reason you can’t also be expected to adhere to arrows, while those who walk backwards down an aisle, going in the wrong direction but facing the right way, have obviously found a loophole.

It’s a whole new world in the grocery store these days where the eyes of fellow shoppers are always on you, and not just because you have too many items for the express checkout.

Class of 2020 ends 20 years of kids in the school system

M

y youngest son is part of the Class of 2020, which seems like the forgotten year we’ll never forget. The school has done a great job with the restrictions it was under, but it won’t be the same as my other kids’ graduations.

The red carpet walk. The big grad ceremony. The dry grad.

All the events that mark such an important milestone in a young adult’s life, the transition from being a kid to being a grown up, can’t be held, replaced by a virtual grad instead. There will be a special place in history for these kids — they will forever be able to say they were the Grad Class of COVID-19. As long as we aren’t still in this mess next year.

I’ll never forget the first day of kindergarten for our oldest son. The school was just across the street, but for my wife and I, it could have been a continent away. We made the choice of having one parent stay home with our kids, and ran a small daycare out of the house (my wife had her ECE licence). For the first time (except for pre-school, I guess) he was going to be someone else’s responsibility. It was a big step for us.

I don’t know how we made it through the couple of hours he was gone, but he hardly noticed.

He was with his friends, it was

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

a great little school and the teacher was wonderful. That was September of 2000.

I remember on that first day thinking about the year he would graduate, how far away in time it was. That day came and went, as it did for his sister. When my youngest was born, we calculated he would be in the Class of 2020.

And now he has walked the hallowed halls of SDSS for the final time.

It will be very different in September, regardless of the classroom situation. I won’t have Parent Connect logins, I won’t have an inbox full of messages of the things I need to take care of before school starts.

I’ll never have another parentteacher conference. I’ll have to be proactive to get my poinsettia or my Purdy’s chocolates for the fundraising programs. No more school yearbooks, no more report

cards.

For two decades, we had planned vacations around school breaks, planned my schedule to be around for Christmas concerts and other events, made sure we were out the door by 8:15 a.m. to be at school on time. And now, I don’t.

Post-secondary has been in full swing for a while. We’ll have our first graduation coming up. I spent 10 years in post-secondary education, both full- and parttime. I still have nightmares around September, about missing classes or showing up to an exam for a class I never attended.

Maybe those will fade away now, with any luck.

To all the teachers my kids have had over the years, I thank you.

We are lucky to have great schools and fantastic teachers in Delta.

A special thank you to Barry and Leticia for all your help.

Congratulations, Class of 2020.

The world you enter might be a strange place now, but it will get better.

Then your kids will finish high school, and it will seem strange all over again!

DPD treats all citizens well, but that’s not the norm in Canada Editor: Re: Under the microscope, police need our support, not anger, Community Comment, June 25 I read Ingrid Abbott’s column with a mix of emotions. Like her, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with members of the Delta police. But then like her, I am also lily-white. As such, I’ve had mostly good experiences with police in every locality I’ve lived in, from my hometown of Ottawa, to Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg and finally Toronto where we lived and worked before moving to B.C. 15 years ago.

But that’s kind of the point. My experience of these police forces is very different from those of racialized people and — on the Prairies and in B.C. especially — Indigenous persons. That is the defini-

tion of systemic racism.

One could write a book — or a couple of voluminous Royal commission reports — on the failures of policing in this country. Or in the case of the RCMP “failure” might be the wrong word. This organization for over 150 years has been singularly “successful” in doing exactly what it was created for: oppressing and dispossessing the original inhabitants of this territory.

And from so-called “moonlight tours” to the edge of cities in minus 40 degree temperatures to the routine dismissal of violence against Indigenous women and girls, municipal forces extend this deeply-ingrained — indeed foundational — systemic racism into the cities of this country.

Now, as police forces go, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the DPD on

several occasions. In particular with its interactions with un-housed friends and acquaintances who may also have substance abuse or mental health challenges. It’s been very different from what is common in other jurisdictions.

But we need to realize that this is exceptional.

Perhaps being a smaller department, perhaps due to the particular history of our community and the force itself, I don’t know.

Nevertheless, extrapolating our own personal and very localized experiences to policing in Canada in general would be the epitome of white privilege.

A deep, honest and soul-searching examination of the reality of policing in this country leading to fundamental changes is badly needed and long overdue.

Chief’s wife must not receive preferential treatment

Editor: We watched with extreme disgust and repugnance the behaviour of the Delta police chief’s wife, Lorraine Dubord, towards the Richmond teacher who passed by the beach side of her home.

Surely this is exactly the sort of systemic racist attitude that must be addressed in order to start the kind of healing that we need as a society. That it was the wife of the chief of police in the community just, in our minds, makes it all the worse.

We sincerely hope

Altercation not a BLM moment

Editor: OK, we can all agree that the police chief’s wife should not have turned a hose on the woman at the edge of her property.

I think an apology would have been sufficient; filing an assault charge is a little excessive. What’s next? A World Human Rights Tribunal filing?

I’m embarrassed by the behaviour of the news media, making this a top news story, and the protestors demonstrating outside the property. Settle down people, this is not a BLM moment.

George Stewart that she will not be given “preferential treatment” because of whom she is married to, and will be charged with assault

should the RCMP investigation find that her behaviour merits that.

Hospice appeal to be heard in mid-August Contentious membership list to remain frozen until B.C. Supreme Court can make ruling 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

Things are proceeding well in the community’s effort to take back the Delta Hospice Society, says a spokesperson behind the recent successful court petition.

Chris Pettypiece told the Optimist that a date has been set in the Delta Hospice Society board’s appeal of his petition to the B.C. Supreme Court, which halted a planned meeting by the board to have the society’s constitution amended to be Christian-based.

That appeal is to be heard in mid-August, Pettypiece said.

The date was set last week following the board’s request to have an element of the judgment stayed until the appeal is heard.

Pettypiece noted the board was able to have the court stay a ruling that the register of members had to be rectified to include those residents whose applications were rejected without explanation, although the board is not able to add its own members either.

“While they cannot take new memberships, the need to generate awareness and have people prepared for the day their

membership can be processed is definitely underway,” he said.

“There’s really no change in the activities that are happening around the issue. The important thing is the matter will be heard sooner than we imagined possible. That should put us in a good position to instate those members and any that are interested between now and when the hearing starts.”

The petition last month

by Pettypiece, Sharon Farrish and former board president Jim Levin blocked the board from holding a June 15 special meeting to amend the society’s constitution.

The court action followed the board rejecting many membership applications by Delta residents opposed to the actions of the board.

The June 15 meeting, which would have been followed by a mail-in ballot of registered members, asked to change the constitution to include several statements, including: “To function as a Christian community that furthers biblical principles governed by the Triune God.” It was the latest move by a board that’s opposed to providing Medical Assistance in Dying

(MAiD) at the 10-bed Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner.

Last fall shortly after a contentious annual general meeting, the new board reversed a decision by the previous board to permit MAiD, which put the hospice society on a collision course with Fraser Health and the provincial government.

Fraser Health has mandated that non-faith based hospices offer

MAiD to those who ask for it. Earlier this year, Health Minister Adrian Dix announced the society would lose its funding, which amounts to about $1.5 million annually, by next February.

At a rally last month at Paterson Park, Pettypiece said the court ruled the board does not have the right to screen members and that president Angelina Ireland and board members acted in

He said the court also decided no meeting of the society can be held without the direction of the court and that the court may appoint an independent chair.

The Optimist has reached out to Ireland for comment on her board’s appeal.

In a recent interview, she denied her board had been acting inappropriate-

ly and in contravention of the Societies Act in denying membership applications, saying it is a private society that has the right to vet applications.

“It’s right in our bylaws, there’s nothing new about this. We have been entirely inundated with memberships. Our society swelled from a couple of hundred members to 1,500. Just the sheer administration of that, and where do we put all those people for a meeting? We’re just a small 10-bed hospice, a few volunteers, and we understand there was a huge campaign to inundate us,” Ireland said.

“It was quite planned to completely overwhelm us and we don’t have the staff to take care of the request of all these people, I think, have fairly malicious intent to come after us.

The membership is at the full discretion of the board of directors and it’s the board’s responsibility to take a look at every single application. We did our best to provide as many members as we could,” Ireland explained.

Saying their main concern is to protect their beds for hospice palliative care, Ireland also pointed out the intent of the Delta Hospice Society was never to offer euthanasia.

Many on social media are calling for chief’s dismissal

CONTINUED from Page 3 Many residents on social media have also called for Chief Neil Dubord’s dismissal.

Sidhu told the Optimist that she doesn’t know whether Dubord should be fired.

“I don’t know about firing. I think what would really matter more than that, because that would be a Band-Aid solution and people would think we have eradicated racism in Delta now, is for the DPD to really commit to changing what is happening with systemic racism within their organization,” said Sidhu. “When I originally called in I asked for a women of colour officer to respond. Were they not able to find one? I dealt with two female officers, but they were both white.

Many people have started talking about how they have experienced forms of abuse at the hands of the Delta PD, especially the Punjabi community, which was surprising to me.”

Response from DPD On Monday morning, deputy Chief Norm Lipinski issued a statement regarding the incident.

“We take any and all complaints from the community very seriously. This incident is no exception,” said Lipinski. “As soon as we were made aware

of the complaint, and in accordance with our policies, procedures and established practices, we began our investigation.

Given his proximity to this issue, Chief Dubord recused himself from any involvement in the investigation.

“As an additional measure of oversight, the Delta Police Department elevated the investigation to a supervisor. Further, a senior manager was assigned to oversee the investigation and to ensure that all proper procedures were followed. This level of oversight is not standard practice, but I felt it was required given the nature of the matter.

“On completion of that investigation, the outcome was communicated to the complainant. During that discussion, the complainant indicated that she was not satisfied with the conclusions. Per best practices, the department immediately asked the RCMP as an independent authority to conduct a file review and to take any other investigative steps they deem warranted.

That investigation is underway; the Delta Police Department will have no involvement in that independent review.”

Chief Dubord statement “On June 7, our department received a complaint

There was support for Kiran Sidhu at last Saturday’s march against racism in Ladner. from the public, alleging an assault by my partner,” said Dubord. “I want to say unreservedly that the matter at hand in no way reflects the values and commitment to the community of the officers of the Delta Police Department, nor my own values. Out of respect for our office, I also feel that it is important to note that the complaint does not involve a member of the Delta Police Department.

“I want the community to know that I have not been involved in any way with the resulting investigation. I have confidence in the department that no matter who is involved their commitment to integrity and to our community is the first priority. I understand that the

investigation has been handed over to an independent police department, I believe that this is important to ensure that the community can remain confident that this matter is investigated thoroughly and acted upon properly.

“Transparency and accountability are essential in maintaining and building trust with the community. Given the recent, meaningful and

important discourse taking place around systemic racism, discrimination and violence in North America, I understand that transparency and trust are critically important – especially from those in the police department. That is why I felt it is important for me to issue a public statement.”

Delta police board response Last Thursday, Delta Mayor George Harvie, who

is also chair of the Delta police board, said he was supportive of the decision of the Delta police to refer the matter to an independent agency. The board issued a further statement on June 27 that vowed a fair and independent process would be followed.

The police board met for its monthly meeting Tuesday, at which time it answered questions on the issue that had been submitted by the public.

Tsawwassen’s Mary Kitagawa has received an honourary degree from the University of British Columbia.

Kitagawa has raised awareness of the injustices suffered by JapaneseCanadian students during the Second World War. A tireless social justice and anti-racism leader and activist, her work was perhaps best highlighted in 2008 when she initiated a process at UBC to retroactively grant university degrees to 76 JapaneseCanadian students who had not been able to complete their education due to forced removal and incarceration in 1942, ultimately leading to the conferral of honourary undergraduate degrees in 2012.

She said she was surprised, yet honoured when she learned the news.

“It was like every other award I have been given – really surprised,” she said.

“My husband and I don’t do anything for accolades or awards. We do it because it is the right thing to do.”

Her grandson Joshua is graduating this year from UBC. Before the COVID19 pandemic hit, she was slated to walk across the convocation stage with him.

“It’s too bad because that would have been really nice,” she said.

“They are still looking into how this will be done. It might be later in the year or maybe next year.”

Honourary degrees are intended to recognize the work of individuals, including academics, public figures, community builders and philanthropists, who have made substantial contributions to society at the provincial, national and/or international levels.

Community One of the standout features of our national Parliament building in Ottawa is the Peace Tower, a beautiful edifice that gives grandeur to the whole of the building. It lifts so very high, our flag as an emblem of the pride we have for our true and native land.

At its base is a memorial chamber that honours the many who gave their life to give us this peace, a lasting testament that true peace comes at a cost. And inscribed throughout the tower are scriptures that remind us that all of this is by the grace of God. This Canada Day we celebrate our great peace.

privilege I see often in the papers, on the news, piped into my social media accounts and enjoyed around tables at coffee shops.

But just as our Parliament was built to express honour and reverence for God, so our lives

as citizens should be kept humble before God. Even when we are protesting and standing up for rights — we do well to allow God to govern our actions and our tongues. The verse from the scriptures that resonates so strongly about our nation is this: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.”

(Psalm 72:8) Canada Day is rightly a day to call us to step back from our many tasks and take some time to celebrate our great nation. But it is also a day to remember that we need divine help to keep it that way. So let’s follow the admonition of Paul from 1 Timothy 2 and lift up holy hands and pray for our nation, its leaders and all of its citizens. Happy Canada Day!

REMEMBRANCES

CASTAGNER, Louis Alphonso

Mike &

Phone Hours: Mon to Fri 8:30 am to 4:30 pm

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

He was part of my life for just over 20 years.

He met my mother Mary Carter, (she passed away 2017) through the Tsawwassen Legion.

Mr. Lou was quite the karaoke singer and he and my mother could clear the dance floor like no other. People enjoyed just watching them dance.

They flowed so gracefully together and never missed a beat. The weekends were never complete until after attempting to win as much meat as possible at the weekly meat draws.

GLOVER, John A. June 20, 1938 − June 25, 2020 John Glover passed away peacefully on June 25, 2020, with his daughter by his side. John is predeceased by his loving wife of 45 years, Judy; daughter, Hilary; and sister−in−law, Moya. John will be lovingly remembered by his daughter, Alison (Curt); grandson, Kyle; brother−in−law, Alan Cross (Janel); and cousin, Barbara Boyce (Ken). He will be remembered for his kindness, humour, and beautiful singing voice. A Celebration of Life will be held post−Covid. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada (crohnsandcolitis.ca).

Mr. Lou’s favorite past time throughout the summer months was drinking his “Bud Light Beer” while tending to all his flowers on his back deck patio.

Man-o-man did he ever have a great tan in no time.

Mom and him also took 2 weeks every summer and drove up to White Lake, near the Shuswap, where they rented a cabin and fished every day. Life couldn’t get any better for Mr. Lou, as he held a fishing line in one hand and his Bud Light beer in the other.

When my mom first met Mr. Lou, he was quite handy in woodworking. I am very pleased to have a few pieces he made in my possession.

He just adored my mom, she was very blessed to have him, they were blessed to have each other. I never knew a man who could just sit and wait until my mom was finished either from an appointment or just shopping. He was a very patient man and he never complained. He always came across as a very stern, straight forward military man. But inside he was one of the most kind, gentle, caring and giving man. I was blessed to have been loved by him.

Mr. Lou held the title of “Sergeant of Arms” at the Tsawwassen Legion and he also was their bartender every Monday/Wednesday/Friday. He was very proud of his duties, whether it was leading in every parade he could attend, or escorting out a customer whom drank a little too much.

Mr. Lou’s red Blazer was the first vehicle in Tsawwassen that proudly wore Veteran license plates.

I wanted to share just a few inner memories and warm sides of Mr. Lou with you. He was a very special man whom was loved by many, but most importantly very well respected by all.

To my Mr. Lou, I love you, I miss you, but finally you are free to join mom in heaven.

You are not alone anymore, and your sadness is no more.

Give mom a hug for me, she will be complete to have you by her side once again.

I love you Mr. Lou, you were not only my father figure, you were my friend.

Until we meet again.

FOWEATHER, Eric In 1956, my beloved father left the R.A.F. where he was a test pilot following WWll, to come half way ‘round the world to a little town called Ladner.

He was restless for adventure!

(He always called it “ants in his pants”)!

So began a well regarded career as Shop Head, and a later passion to teach English 12, at Delta Senior Secondary. Prior to becoming a teacher, Eric married the woman of his dreams, Patricia. We remained in England until we were now 3 daughters.

Not the best time for seasick little girls and Mum on the Queen Mary. Vivienne, Wendy and Helen grew up and had boyfriends, but as we shared the same school, my sisters and I were always-always on the lookout for Eric possibly prowling the halls! We did grow and marry, giving Eric 8 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren with another on the way.

WOODWARD, Elsie February 10, 1939 − June 8, 2020 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Elsie Woodward (nee Brown), born February 10, 1939, in Ryhope, Sunderland in the County of Durham. Elsie passed away peacefully with her family at her side on June 8, 2020, in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. She will be dearly missed by her devoted husband, Peter; children, Robert (Judy) and Julie (Allan); and adored grandsons, Ben (Mackenzie) and Sam. Elsie is survived by her sisters, Audrey, Lilian, and Elizabeth; sister−in−law, Janis; and nieces and nephews in Canada and England. She was predeceased by her father, John Robert; mother, Emily Mary; and sister, Ethel.

Elsie met the love of her life, Peter, in Sunderland, England in 1959 and followed that love to Canada, with baby, Robert, in 1962. After several years on the West Coast and a few years in Ottawa, they returned to the West to settle in Richmond, BC, where Elsie raised her children. She worked and loved her role as Secretary at South Arm United Church for over 11 years; however, it was the many committees and friends at the church that gave Elsie fulfillment and the opportunity to explore her great creativity. She loved designing and making banners for the church, or spending endless hours creating beautiful needlepoint designs. She resigned only to devote more time to her other loves, her two grandsons, and to enjoy time at the cottage on Mayne Island. Elsie was always feisty and never shy to give her opinion regardless of the company but was a constant rock for her family and those around her.

A thank you to all the staff and management at Evergreen Seniors Home that allowed mom to spend her last days with dignity and her family by her side. A private service will be held at Evergreen in Campbell River, to be followed by a burial at South Arm United Church memorial garden at a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society or Evergreen Seniors Home are welcomed.

During the summers, Eric liked to build houses. Of course we 3 girls were put to work nailing on the roofs of houses and gradually learned what Eric felt important his girls should know about house building!

He liked to travel and after my Mum died at the age of 75, he continued his travels with friends. Even at aged 86, he went to an airfield near Seattle, to fly a Harvard as if no time had passed. There was an instructor along, just in case! With 4 cameras in the ‘plane, our famiily banked and rolled and dived with him, as we watched on our T.V.!

Eric played tennis and skied until his late 80’s; then taught woodwork at Brock House for quite a number of years. He loved school reunions but was always amazed how well he was recognized!

I think it was his cheerfulness and kindness that people saw. He was an amazing man who seemingly could fix or build anything. Eric passed away on May 24th at the age of 97.5 years.

Thank you for your ongoing support

A

century ago Delta was without a newspaper. The shuttering of the Delta Times in 1914 left a void in the community meaning shopkeepers couldn’t reach customers, government couldn’t communicate with constituents and residents had a hard time finding out what others were doing.

The Delta Board of Trade, the predecessor of the Delta Chamber of Commerce, saw the negative impact the lack of a newspaper was having on Delta and reached out to the Dunning family, publishers of two papers in Alberta, to start one here. The first issue of The Weekly Optimist was printed on March 23, 1922. ptimist has chronicled all the bigg, and manyy of the small,, events that have shap ped Over the past 98 years the Op this community ty, y from the fire that wiped out half of Ladner’s Chinatown to the building of the Boundary Bay Airport to support Second World War efforts. The Optimist was there when the George Massey Tunnel opened and documented the subsequent building boom that took this place from a quiet farming and fishing village to a bustling suburb.

The Optimist has covered all that matters to the people of Delta over the years and continues that today with extensive reporting, both in print and online, on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the pandemic has exacted a significant financial toll, forcing many of our advertisers to close their doors until this storm has passed, which in turn has had a considerable impact on our operation.

In this time of uncertainty, we are reaching out to those of you who find value in local, community news to ask for your support. Your contribution, however large or small, will enable us to continue delivering reliable and credible news to you – our friends, our family and our neighbours.

Contributions may be made at support.delta-optimist.com, or if you prefer not to donate online, you may call 604-946-4451, or mail a cheque to 5008 47A Avenue, Ladner, BC, V4K 1T8.
