Optimist has streamlined new look starting with this week’s issue
Some readers might have noticed they’re reading a more streamlined version of the Optimist this week! Our page size has been slightly modified to make it easier to read as well as to align the Optimist with
other community newspapers in B.C. We’ve also resumed our business routes, which means there will be more copies of the Optimist on the street every week.
The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) has released its findings into a crash last month of a plane that took off from Delta. In a report released last week on the TSB website, investigators have ruled the flight, which originated from the International Flight Centre, a flight training school at Boundary Bay Airport in East Ladner, was caused by a collision with terrain.

aircraft disappeared from radar over the Fraser River near Maple Ridge. The aircraft was last recorded travelling eastbound at an altitude of 200 feet with an airspeed of 80 knots. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing aircraft. The aircraft remains missing and the fate of the crew is unknown. Repeated calls and emails to the International Flight Centre by the Optimist have not been returned. The Vancouver Police Marine Unit, RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, RCMP Air 5 helicopter and multiple search and rescue teams searched the area and Fraser River for days, but no parts of the plane have been recovered and there’s been no contact with those on board.
