6-year-old’s petition could pay off CAMERON THOMSON

Contri buting Wr iter

Arianne Dielman’s petition for a safer crossing between a Ladner park has not gone unnoticed by Delta City council.

Last month, Arianne sent a letter along with the signatures of 30 local residents acquired through a door knocking campaign to Delta city council. The letter, complete with a drawing of her family crossing a street together, conveyed her desire for a safer crossing between the entrance to Lions Park and Central Ave. “Lots of people cross there and it is a busy road and it is hard to see around the corner,” Arianne’s handwritten letter read.

Arianne told the Optimist in an interview on Thursday, Nov. 19 that she set her sights on this initiative after her brother Westley was almost struck by a vehicle while attempting to make the crossing.

“It made me feel scared and made me want to do the petition,” she said. “I felt more and more that we needed a crosswalk.”

Another letter which accompanied Arianne’s letter and petition to city council was written by her mother Carmelle. She wrote that as her daughter collected signatures, others recounted times when they narrowly avoided being hit while trying to cross the same road.

During council’s Nov. 23 meeting, a report noted a safety review for Central Ave was completed in 2013 and found that due to the curvature of Central Ave, a regular pedestrian crosswalk would not be the best solution.

Steven Lan, director of engineering for the City of Delta explained the petition and the heightened use of the park due to COVID-19 has caused the city to revisit the issue.

Lan said the city’s engineering team has come up with what he believes is a unique solution.

The suggestions for a modified crosswalk, which will be forwarded on to the Transportation Technical Committee on Nov. 25, include a curb extension to allow pedestrians to be more visible, standard overhead flash-

Sangster is Delta’s Citizen of the Year Longtime volunteer wins award six years after his late wife was honoured MARK BOOTH

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

The tremendous community contributions of one Tsawwassen family was recognized again when the 2020 Delta Citizen of the Year was announced during the Delta Chamber of Commerce’s 69th annual Hats Off to Excellence Gala.

It was back in 2014 when Vickie Sangster was honoured for her volunteer work, that included leading the Tsawwassen Rotary’s water park project at Diefenbaker Park while courageously battling lung cancer. She passed away in October of last year.

Last Thursday, during a virtual awards presentation, it was her husband Don’s turn to be recognized for decades of tireless contributions, including the last 10 years with the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation Board.

“It makes it pretty neat and special to me,” said Sangster. “It’s

SUBMITTED PHOTO

There are a lot of really good people in this community that are very deserving of this. When you look at the recipients, there are some pretty great names in our past too. I’m very lucky.”

Sangster’s impact with the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation includes cochairing key fundraising events.

His run on the board concludes this year.

“We want to congratulate Don on his well-deserved win as Citizen of the Year. During his 10-year tenure, he made a significant impact by chairing numerous gala and golf events, many of which were record breakers. Thank you Don for your commitment to our community,” said Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation executive director Lisa Hoglund.

Sangster also chaired the early years of the Delta Sports

Hall of Fame and served on the inaugural selection committee.

He is destined to be an inductee himself as a builder thanks to his superb leadership with girls fastpitch that included spearheading the re-development of Brandrith Park. The Tsawwassen Minor Softball Association, which it was known as at the time, suddenly had one of the premier facilities in the Lower Mainland.

“If you live in your community, you always need to give back to your community. You try to get involved with the right committees then try and get things done,” added Sangster who has lived in Tsawwassen for over 40 years.

“The nice thing about our community is, for a lot of years, we have had good people at our city hall that are prepared to work and are not wanting to put road blocks up.

“We have had a couple of great councils that have been willing to put up the capital expenditure for the right projects and right things.”

Delta’s Lipinski to head new Surrey police force 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

He’s now in charge of what will be a new police force in the province’s second biggest city.

Mayor Doug McCallum, calling it an exciting time, at a news conference last Friday announced with members of the Surrey Police Board the hiring of Norm Lipinski, currently the deputy chief of the Delta Police Department, to be the first chief of the city’s new municipal police force.

Noting they’ve made a lot of progress in creating a modern, urban police service, and their search has found a visionary leader, McCallum said they’ve taken a major step toward a safer future.

According to the police board, in the coming weeks Lipinski will

Saying they will work toward a progressive, accountable police service in what will be a new era of policing, Lipinski at the news conference noted Delta’s model of “no call too small” when describing how the new police force will be reflective of Surrey’s needs.

City council has taken another step to make it easier to have a secondary suite in Delta.

On Monday council gave preliminary approval to zoning amendments which

would eliminate the requirement for a minimum lot width of 49-feet to accommodate a suite and to allow suites on properties that can fit three on-site parking spaces regardless of parking configuration.

Following recommendations by Delta’s hous-

Christmas Christmas Season is here!

Inject a little FUN this Christmas with the infamous GRINCH TREE!

ing task force a decade ago, bylaw amendments were adopted to legalize secondary suites for single-detached dwellings in Delta.

At that time, there was no minimum lot width required, but that rule was added in later years.

A staff report notes that out of approximately 23,600 singledetached lots in Delta, removing the lot width requirement would allow secondary suites on approximately 1,950 additional lots, provided that three off-street parking spaces could be provided and B.C. Building Code requirements are met.

The report also notes that approximately 220 lots that are less than 49-feet-wide already have a secondary suite.

Properties which are subject to land use

contracts are still not permitted to have a secondary suite, unless the land use contract is discharged by council or until provincially terminated on June 30, 2024.

Council in a move last year to ease restrictions eliminated the zoning requirement for owners to enter into a restrictive covenant to prohibit unauthorized secondary suites in in-ground basements and accessory structures.

The latest changes would also delegate planning staff the authority to approve and execute discharges and amendments of current restrictive covenants, instead of council approving each application, when no variances are required.

The public hearing for the amendments will take place Jan. 18, 2021

Thrift store loses tax exemption

58 YEARS SERVING DELTA

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyar mati@de lta - o ptim ist .co m

The actions of the Delta Hospice Society’s board are not inclusive to all local residents and have resulted in division in the community.

That’s one of the points Mayor George Harvie raised in a letter last week to DHS board president Angelina Ireland in reiterating city council’s decision to deny the society a municipal permissive tax exemption for the hospice’s thrift store in Tsawwassen.

Also noting the society’s continued refusal to comply with provincial requirements to provide Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, and that the society will lose its provincial funding next February, Harvie was responding to a recent inquiry from the board about the denial.

The society along with other non-profit groups and service organizations apply annually for a permissive tax exemption that has to be approved by council.

Based on last year’s permissive tax exemption application, which was approved, the estimated municipal taxes for the thrift store in 2021 was $23,700 and over $24,000 for 2022.

Harvie noted council has broad discretion when considering permissive tax exemptions.

A motion unanimously approved by council saw the city notify the society’s board that the store would lose its tax exemption.

The city’s move came following a successful petition by several Delta residents in B.C. Supreme Court to block a special society meeting by the board to ask the membership to amend the society’s constitution to make it Christianbased.

Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

W

hen was the last time you took a stroll through Ladner Village or down 56th St. in Tsawwassen and visited any of the local shops?

If your answer to this question is ‘I don’t know’, or ‘not recently’ then now is a good time to change that.

This year Christmas will be a different experience for all of us.

We don’t know what the holiday season will look like in terms of health and safety protocols around the COVID-19 pandemic, or whether we will be able to gather together with family or friends, but one thing I do know is that we can still find ways to shop local and support local business.

Since the start of the pandemic, the business community in Delta have collectively come together to ensure a safe shopping experience.

The Ladner Business Association (LBA), Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association (TBIA), City of Delta and the Delta Chamber have all formed a great partnership to create programs and support to keep our businesses, services and restaurants open.

The city has created a Home for the Holiday’s initiative with a ‘gift local in Delta’ theme.

According to the city, every $100 that you spend at a small business in Delta, $63 flows back into the the local economy. That is a significant number.

Those dollars in-turn go to support local staff, local events and initiatives put on by the business community that we all hope will return once the pandemic is over.

So purchasing your holiday gifts in Delta will go a long way in supporting your community. And if you don’t want to shop in person, how about purchasing gift cards that your family and friends can enjoy later?

What better gift can you receive this holiday than the gift of community support?

Keeping the Merry in Christmas will be a bit difficult this year

A

round this time, people are getting excited for the Holidays. Lights are going up, the shops have all their decorations in place, malls are filling up with people buying gifts.

Not so much this year. For now, it’s stay home as much as you can. So much for ‘It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.’

But maybe, just maybe, this can be the best Christmas ever.

Maybe this is the year when we come to realize it’s the people around us that matter more than the gifts, the parties, the hustle and bustle of busy streets and last minute shoppers.

In a way, we are forced into that scenario. We are already being told not to have anyone outside of your household over for Christmas. That’s the plan right now, as COVID rages in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and the Prairies. With any luck, we’ll be in a better situation after our current restrictions kick in, and St. Bonnie will let me have my Mum and sister over for dinner on Christmas so that they aren’t alone. My nephew and his kids can have Christmas on their

own, this time.

Try telling a kid, especially a young child, that Santa might not make it. For many families, that’s a cold reality every year.

This year, it’s an even deeper problem. Usually, that’s where the Toy Depot kicks in, with all those donations coming in for struggling families to choose from. This year, it can’t happen that way. But where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Deltassist won’t be running the Toy Depot or handing out Christmas Food Hampers, instead they are accepting donations and passing along gift cards for people who have been hit hard by the pandemic to at least have a special day

with their family on Christmas.

More people will need help this year, more than ever before.

When you need a hand, your community is there to lend it.

All the information on making donations to the Christmas Bureau on Deltassist’s website, as well as how to register for the program if you need a hand this year.

And if you do need a hand, don’t be ashamed. What you are doing by accepting the help you could use is giving a gift to someone that has the means to give that help. Their donation comes with the feeling of knowing they made someone’s life a little better for that one day.

You can give them that gift.

Because this year, a year like we have never seen before and hope never to experience again, the greatest gift doesn’t come wrapped in a bow. It comes from the heart.

Golfer recieves racial tirade at driving range

Editor: It was 8:15 am on Saturday Nov. 14 and I arrived at the range at Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course. All the covered bays (still outdoors) were full except for the second last one.

The range mats are roughly 7.5 - 8ft apart and I have validated that with the folks at the clubhouse that they comply with the COVID-19 protocols announced by the Provincial Health Officer.

I proceeded to empty my bucket of balls at the stall and an older man (wasn’t wearing a mask) tells me that he does not feel comfortable with me this close.

This was outdoors, there’s roof but it is outdoors. I told him that the mats are 7.5-8 feet apart, if he did not feel

comfortable, he could move to the outdoors mats (they were wet from the day before).

He moved to the outdoor area and it so happens that when there was no one else left at the golf range, he walked over and started yelling at me that “It is because of you people that the second wave has gotten out of control” and then he spent next four minutes spewing out vile stuff.

This is the first time I’ve experience anything like this in Tsawwassen.

I know these are trying times and that there are “older” entitled folks in Tsawwassen, but this is not how we treat each other. If you do not agree with someone or their background, it does not mean you judge/berate them.

Let us be civil!!!

Rotaries contribute worldwide

Editor: Founded over 100 years ago, The Rotary Foundation is recognized by international foundation rating organizations as one of the world’s most trusted and effective foundations. It is the foundation for Rotary International, the world’s original service club. Over time it has spent more than US $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. It is the powerhouse behind many of Rotary’s contributions to communities here at home and around the world.

Members of the three Rotary clubs in Delta, including the original Rotary Club of Ladner, throughout B.C. and around the world raise funds for, and donate to, The Rotary Foundation because as little as 60 cents can protect a child from polio, $50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness and $500 can launch an anti-bullying campaign and create a safe environment for kids.

For 2018, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, The Rotary Foundation awarded US$86,677,399 in funding through 1,306 grants for projects carried out by Rotarians, often with other organizations, around the world.

For instance, to prevent disease, including the end to polio, the

Foundation spent $35 million, to provide clean water $19 million, support education $11 million, grow local economies $10 million, save mothers and children $7 million, and promote peace $3 million.

Some Rotary clubs in BC that year were engaged in nine active projects valued at more than $500,000 -- including $197,262 from The Rotary Foundation -- not only at home, but in El Salvador, Laos, Morocco, Ethiopia, Guatemala, China and Congo.

The Rotary Club of Ladner has used Foundation funding to boost club and community funding, in sharing the cost with the City of Delta, in building the Ladner Rotary Splash Park in Memorial Park.

The Ladner Rotary club has also called on the Foundation to support its work with other clubs in BC and Canada to provide clean drinking water and fight disease, and enable education, in remote northern villages of the impoverished nation of Laos.

Thank you to the people of Delta and generous Rotary members for their ongoing support of all our service to the community, helped in part by The Rotary Foundation.

Dyke access has been an issue for some time Editor: Re: Public Access on Ladner Dyke I was in office when the former owner closed access to the dyke trail across his property.

To say people were annoyed is an understatement. At the time, I spoke with the provincial Inspector of Dykes,

who advised that if the municipality does not already control access it should consider expropriating the Right of Way. If negotiation for public access along the dyke fails, I would urge the City of Delta take that next step in protecting the public interest.

Ladner and Tsawwassen Legions praise community for poppy campaign support Editor: On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 61 (Ladner), we wish to extend our deepest appreciation to the overall Community, for their overwhelming support during this year’s Poppy Campaign. Our total donations exceeded expectations.

These donations were largely achieved due to the large number of our members and friends of the Legion who came forth to volunteer, with many of them doing multiple shifts. We had 84 volunteers complete 182 two-hour shifts.

In addition, we must also extend this appreciation to all the merchants, for accepting our donation boxes in their stores, and the Delta School District for distributing and collecting all donations from the schools.

These donations belong to our veterans and the Community.

Wherever possible we assist

veterans in need and give back to our community with donations to the Hospital Foundation, Deltassist, Cadets, Meals on Wheels and many other worthy organizations.

In closing we are indebted to our patrons, who have continued to support us, in addition to the many others who have worked so hard to help keep the Legion operational during these exceedingly difficult times.

With much thanks to all, Gerry Bramhill, Chair, Poppy Campaign RCL Delta Branch #61

Editor: With our 2020 Poppy Campaign now concluded, the Executive of the Tsawwassen Legion, Branch #289 wants to express thanks to the Tsawwassen community for their strong and generous support.

We approached this year’s

campaign with a COVID19 driven decision to not direct canvass, relying solely on Poppy boxes placed in the many participating Tsawwassen businesses, schools and senior homes.

The public responded, seeking out Poppies to proudly wear and show as a Nation, We Will Remember Them.

Special thanks must go out to the following: • The Boundary Bay Lions Club for their generous donation.

• Sara Toigo and Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course for once again, donating a portion of the green fees over two days; and their golfers who braved the inclement weather.

• Walmart Supercentre and their staff for not only requesting several Poppy boxes, but then actively promoting the campaign with their customers – a superb effort!

• The community of Point

Roberts: Despite the extra hardships faced by our neighbours with the border closure, several businesses openly accepted our Poppy boxes and their residents responded in an extremely generous manner; • and to the public who sought out our oft-hidden Poppy trays and responded with their most generous donations.

• Our Legion Poppy volunteers who made the campaign successful.

Thank you all for your support.

Donations received have been placed in our Poppy Trust Fund, to be returned to the community, in direct support of our veterans, serving military, RCMP and their families. As an all-volunteer organization, the Tsawwassen Legion fully returns these funds.

The Executive, Tsawwassen Legion Branch #2891

More dredging of river needed

Editor: I’d like to thank Ian Paton for hosting a round table on the economic, social and environmental importance of dredging to Delta.

After decades of neglect, Delta’s river channels were finally dredged in 2015 thanks to a coalition of community groups. However, the absence of ongoing maintenance dredging means the welfare of our residents and businesses are again threatened.

The Fraser River drains between 20 and 30 million tons of sediment annually into the Fraser delta, enough sand to fill 5,000 Olympic swimming pools.

For the same reason we maintain our highways and roads, we need secure dikes and sufficient waterflow in our river channels.

Failure to do so risks catastrophic floods and renders our river channels inoperable and all that depend on them extinct.

The Ladner Sediment Group looks forward to working with all levels of government to ensure our collective future.

Health Canada needs to consult with local host municipalities before issuing licenses to produce cannabis or hemp.

That’s what Mayor George Harvie is reiterating in another letter to federal Minister of Health Patty Hajdu regarding a controversial outdoor industrial hemp farm in Tsawwassen.

The city has been flooded with complaints from residents near the property in the 5700-block of 6th Avenue, formerly referred to as the Guichon property but now owned by a numbered company, which homeowners say is creating a nauseating odour.

The property, immediately east of the Forest by the Bay subdivision and adjacent to the Southlands and Beach Grove Golf Club, has a licence from Health Canada that allows the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp.

Noting residents continue to be impacted by odours and other issues associated with the property, Harvie noted municipal zoning bylaws play a significant role in protecting the interests of residents.

The industrial hemp operation is not permitted under the city’s zoning bylaw.

“I believe it has always been the

Federal Government’s intent to require cannabis and hemp licence holders to comply with local bylaws. Yet, because of a lack of consultation with City staff, Health Canada issued an industrial hemp licence for this location, which is neither zoned nor appropriate for such use,” Harvie said.

He noted the city has urged the farmer to harvest the existing crop and that Health Canada terminate the licence before any new plantings are done.

The city had already imposed a strict new set of zoning conditions for the 18-hectare (45-acre) site, which is zoned agricultural but not in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The special agricultural zone prohibits greenhouses of any size and allows a maximum of one non-residential farm building or structure that’s limited to a floor area of 10,764 square feet.

As well, the zone prohibits a number of other uses including livestock farming, mushroom growing and composting, maintaining those uses are potentially incompatible with adjacent land uses.

Much to the ire of nearby residents, the owner a couple of years ago indicated a greenhouse complex would be constructed. The city imposed a stop work order on site clearing because proper permits weren’t in place.

Save The Tax To practice physical distancing and avoid crowding, sale will be all weekend long.

A young Tsawwassen entrepreneur has made the most of a grid-locked job market by creating his own light hanging business.

Luc Soares’ new company Rudolph’s Guiding Lights has seen success over the last two months hanging Christmas lights for Tsawwassen residents and more recently went commercial decorating the The RiverHouse Pub and Bar this week. This comes just in time for the City of Delta’s ‘Holiday Light Up’ campaign where the city has encouraged residents to collectively turn on their holiday lights on Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.

Soares, a recent University of Western Ontario Business graduate believes the campaign is an excellent way to spread some holiday cheer.

ONE DAY ONLY, NOVEMBER 27TH

Luc Soares has brightened up the RiverHouse Pub.

“[It’s] a great idea to bring some joy and happiness for the time right now just because COVID has got a lot of people down, mental health has probably only gotten worse,” Soares said.

Soares says the reason he started the company is two-fold, to explore his entrepreneurial itch and to give himself some full-time employment, a hard commodity to come by during the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing the job though, Soares has

found it has been far more meaningful than he expected.

“It makes me feel satisfied and pleased that I could offer a service that was more than just the income itself. It was more about creating a relationship with families,” he said.

If you are interested in having your home or business decorated while at the same time supporting a local company, you can contact Soares at luc13soares@gmail.com.

Richmond joins Delta in opposing T2 project 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 City of Richmond has joined Delta in opposing the proposed major container terminal expansion at Roberts Bank.

In a recent letter to Delta’s mayor and council, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, noting the findings of an independent review panel, wrote that despite the potential economic benefits the Terminal 2 project in Delta may offer, Richmond is concerned with the report’s findings which list numerous potential significant adverse environmental and human effects.

“The City relies on the Fraser River estuary to reduce the impacts of flooding and improve the community’s quality of life. Our vision of a healthy, safe island community is at risk from the expansion of industry in the Fraser River estuary and the impacts of climate change,” Brodie wrote.

Brodie, also noting his council voted to convey opposition, sought the City of Delta’s support to do the same “due to the extraordinary adverse impacts that a project of this magnitude may cause.”

Delta Mayor George Harvie this summer had already sent a letter to Prime

November 26, 2020 The Delta Optimist A15 MEDIA SPONSOR

Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, asking them to deny the T2 application.

That recommendation was also based on the federal review panel’s report on the project.

The federal government has been considering application by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, which is hoping to build a three-berth container facility that would be located on a new man-made island adjacent to the existing port.

A decision was expected this November, which would have already been an extension due to COVID-19.

The port in August sent a letter to Wilkinson seeking an extension of the deadline for making a decision.

The port noted it would allow time to undertake additional consultation with Indigenous groups and other stakeholders, as well as work on mitigation and offsetting plans.

The minister responded with a request for additional information on the mitigation plans, as well as asking for updated economic and employment estimates.

As a result, the federal timeline to make a decision was paused and the government is not expected to issue its decision this year.

Delta Police this fall launched an online reporting tool where residents can file reports on non-emergency matters.

“One common concern we hear from the community is that wait times can be inconvenient from those calling our nonemergency line. We understand this can be frustrating, particularly if you just want to report your car was rummaged through but nothing stolen, for example,” police note in a news release.

The online reporting is accessible through the front page of deltapolice.ca website or directly at https://report.deltapolice.ca:11443/.

“Online reporting provides another way for anyone to report an incident that happened in Delta, or on the Tsawwassen First Nation,” said Inspector Ciaran Feenan, head of front line patrol at Delta Police. “Property damage, fraud under $5,000, or reporting a traffic incident are all examples of things that can be reported online now.”

General community concerns can be reported via these means as well.

“Our department is known for its ‘No Call Too Small’ approach, and we hope online reporting will make it more

convenient for people to let our officers know about those little things,” said Feenan.

The public can still call the non-emergency line at 604-946-4411 as before.

“It’s important to stress that online reporting isn’t meant for emergencies, or reporting crimes in progress” said Feenan.

From 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week, online reports will go directly to on-duty staff who will assess them and determine next steps.

When reporting overnight, the report may not be reviewed until the next day.

Once your online report has been submitted, DPD will contact you within the next 24 hours.

The online forms requests basic information such as your email address and date of birth.

Police will also need to know the date and location of the incident or details such as the licence plates of vehicles involved.

Police note the process will take up to 15 minutes and is mobile friendly.

The online reporting system is currently not configured to accept videos or photos directly.

Those will need to be provided to an officer assigned to the file.

City receives application for first cannabis outlet SANDOR GYARMATI

The City of Delta recently received an application to open a cannabis retail store.

The retail outlet by Seed and Stone would see an industrial property in the 600-block of Chester Avenue on Annacis Island rezoned to allow the sales operation within a portion of an existing industrial building.

The operation would include a 1,001-squarefoot retail storefront and a 2,637-square-foot warehouse.

Last year, council endorsed a recommendation that applications for cannabis retail operations not be accepted.

Staff note Delta has entertained other cannabis-based businesses in industrial areas on a case-by-case basis through rezoning applications.

Have your say in the City of Delta’s housing strategy The City of Delta is seeking residents’ input on the next phase of its Housing Action Plan.

From the identified needs, the City put together a list of proposed strategies that address the four key areas.

An online questionnaire will be available on Let’s Talk Delta until December 7, and all community members are encouraged to provide feedback and ask questions.

“We’re looking for input from the community about those strategies.

If people have ideas that are not reflected in the plan, we want to hear about those as well,” Sangret says.

“There’s a great variety of people who live in our community, and we want them all to be heard,” says Marcy Sangret, Deputy City Manager, who hopes to receive input from residents from across Delta.

CITY OF DELTA REPORT

Seed and Stone has applied to open Delta’s first retail cannabis outlet in the 600-block of Chester Avenue on Annacis Island.

not in close proximity to schools, playgrounds, community centers, recreational centers, other cannabis related businesses or facilities that serve vulnerable populations.

Staff also note the application is in the early review stage and the city hasn’t yet sent a public notification letter to the surrounding area, nor has the applicant been instructed to post a

development sign on the property.

The application has, however, been circulated internally to a number of city departments.

Delta police have reviewed the application and provided a series of comments and recommendations in relation to the site and operation’s security features.

“People have unique housing needs, but everyone needs housing. We know many people struggle to find housing that suits their individual needs and circumstances. People are also looking to the future, thinking about the type of housing they will need for years to come.

“It’s important that we hear from, and account for, the wide range of lived experiences our residents have.”

Typically, a city-wide consultation would involve public meetings. Due to limitations on gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, the public consultation process has been moved online but will be no less engaging.

The online engagement includes a survey about potential housing strategies and the opportunity to ask questions of City staff.

The City is now in the second phase of its housing action plan, which follows a city-wide housing needs assessment that was completed in 2019.

“Phase one was about understanding Delta’s housing needs and identifying the gaps that currently exist, which are preventing people from finding housing that’s right for them.

Some of the gaps we identified are purpose-built rentals, affordable below-market housing, and housing for seniors and people of all ages that might need extra supports now or in future, but want to live independently” Sangret says.

The City’s action plan is designed to meet the needs highlighted in last year’s housing assessment, where four key areas were identified: 1. The right supply: to create more rental, senior supportive and accessible housing.

2. The right price: to foster greater affordability in housing and living costs 3. The right balance: to ensure density and infill housing meet the community’s needs 4. Housing supports: to provide continued support for vulnerable populations in housing need.

“We’ve had some excellent and useful feedback already.”

Possible strategies and actions the City may implement over the next five years include: • Promoting priority housing through ‘sliding scale’ incentives • Exploring ways to increase land availability for priority housing • Creating opportunities for gentle density • Introducing renter protection policies • Increasing the number of accessible units in Delta • Piloting pre-zoning in select areas near town centres • Introducing inclusionary zoning policies “Some of these strategies may only make sense in specific areas only,” Sangret adds.

While the deadline to submit feedback via the questionnaire is December 7, the City will continue to answer submitted questions as they come in.

Once the virtual consultation period comes to a close, the input received from the public will be used to inform the City’s draft Housing Action Plan, which is expected to be presented to Delta Council in Spring 2021.

“That action plan will go out for another round of public consultation,” Sangret says.

First, residents, stakeholders, and Council will review this plan. Then, once endorsed by Council, the City will start implementing the actions set out in the plan.

Share your thoughts on the future of housing in Delta today. Fill out the questionnaire or send in your questions online at Letstalkdelta.ca/housingactionplan

MAJORITY OF CANADIANS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT EXPANDING MEDICALLY ASSISTED DYING ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD

by Thomas Gray

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Their lot forbade: nor circumscribed alone Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin’d; Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind,

Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;

The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame, Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride With incense kindled at the Muse’s flame.

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such, as wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign.

Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray; Along the cool sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree’s shade, Where heaves the turf in many a moldering heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

Yet even these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck’d, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.

The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn, The swallow twittering from the straw-built shed, The cock’s shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed.

Their name, their years, spelt by the unletter’d muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die.

For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire’s return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share.

For who to dumb Forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e’er resign’d, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind?

Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield!

How bowed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!

Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, Awaits alike th’ inevitable hour.

The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault, If Mem’ry o’er their tomb no trophies raise, Where thro’ the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault The pealing anthem swells the note of praise.

Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath?

Can Honour’s voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flatt’ry soothe the dull cold ear of Death?

Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway’d, Or wak’d to ecstasy the living lyre.

But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne’er unroll; Chill Penury repress’d their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul.

On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires; Even from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, Even in our ashes live their wonted fires.

For thee, who mindful of the unhonour’d Dead Dost in these lines their artless tale relate; If chance, by lonely contemplation led, Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate, Haply some hoary-headed swain may say, “Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn Brushing with hasty steps the dews away To meet the sun upon the upland lawn.

“There at the foot of yonder nodding beech That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high, His listless length at noontide would he stretch, And pore upon the brook that babbles by.

“Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn, Mutt’ring his wayward fancies he would rove, Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn, Or craz’d with care, or cross’d in hopeless love.

“One morn I miss’d him on the custom’d hill, Along the heath and near his fav’rite tree; Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he; “The next with dirges due in sad array Slow thro’ the church-way path we saw him borne.

Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay, Grav’d on the stone beneath yon aged thorn.”

Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear: Full many a flow’r is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

THE EPITAPH Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown.

Fair Science frown’d not on his humble birth, And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.

Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood; Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country’s blood.

Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heav’n did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Mis’ry all he had, a tear, He gain’d from Heav’n (‘twas all he wish’d) a friend.

Th’ applause of list’ning senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o’er a smiling land, And read their hist’ry in a nation’s eyes,

No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose) The bosom of his Father and his God.

Vicki Lee and a number of Tsawwassen Rotary volunteers assisted at a Polio Plus Drive Thru Flu Shot earlier this month.

Rotarians making a difference On a cold Saturday morning earlier this month, the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen was ready to do its Polio Plus Drive Thru Flu Shots.

With a COVID plan in place and socially distanced jobs to do, everyone masked up and got going.

Rotary member Edwin Lee, a local pharmacist supported by his wife Vicki, a nurse, gave 102 flu shots.

The Rotarians, family and friends received their flu shots without ever getting out of the car.

The Tsawwassen Rotary Foundation Committee Chair, Linda Ding, used this event to qualify for the

club Every Rotarian Every Year award. Each member was asked to donate a minimum of $35. So far over $7,200 has been raised and there is still more to come.

The traffic crew directed participants to a parking lot to wait 15 minutes before driving away. Here they received snacks, were entertained by masked Rotarians and they received their Polio plus pins.

The traffic crew had so much fun visiting with all the Rotarians, many whom they haven’t seen in person since March.

Imagine more in your day.

Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society presented a $55,000 cheque to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation that will go towards cancer procedures.

Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society donates $55,000 for cancer care

The Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society have made a gift of $55,000 towards cancer care at Delta Hospital through Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation.

Approximately 8,819 cancer related surgeries were performed at Delta Hospital last year. Many of these surgeries involving skin cancer and lymphomas.

As the cancer incidence rate in Delta is expected to increase by over 23 per cent over the next 10 years it is crucial that Delta Hospital has state of the art equipment and screening services available for our community.

“We are grateful to receive this significant gift from the Delta Hospital Auxiliary towards cancer care priorities at Delta Hospital,” says Lisa Hoglund, Executive Director, Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation.

“We are very fortunate to work in collaboration with the Delta Hospital Auxiliary to support the best health care possible in our community.”

The Delta Hospital Auxiliary have been providing volunteer service, care and comfort and funding from their entrepreneurial efforts for programs and medical equipment to

Through the ages, there has been much talk about the “end times.”

When you encounter the word “apocalypse” what thoughts and feelings come to mind? Most often the word evokes images of cataclysm and dread, of judgment, of pain and anguish— certainly not an event to be looked forward to.

But if we examine the actual Greek word, the literal translation of “apocalypse” is “unveiling or revealing”. During the season of Advent, Christians are called to focus attention on the unveiling or revealing of Christ. Do we prepare

Minister’s Minute THOMAS KEELEY

BENEDICTION LUTHERAN CHURCH

for the coming of Christ in the same way that we might prepare for the earthquake which is predicted to strike the west

coast sometime between a few seconds from now and a thousand years from now? No. We are truly prepared when we fix our hearts, souls, and minds, upon the promise of Christ—upon the hope found only in him, about the fulfilment of God’s promise through him.

“Apocalypse” is not to be dreaded but embraced with hope. Christians around the world will begin the Advent season this Sunday by lighting the candle of hope on their Advent wreaths. As they do, they are invited to contemplate the full meaning of hope in Christ.

In the cold November days, a bright and cheerful art gallery is a destination you won’t want to miss.

The artists from the South Delta Artists’ Guild have been busy creating. Most people are not painters, but with a little training it is possible to develop an artistic vision unique to your view of the world. If you’re looking for a wonderful hobby, this is one of the most creative endeavors you can take on.

We see the mundane in our universe, but the artists looks for a new angle, an ode to beauty, or a social comment expressed in art. With a little training and a digital camera, you can open your eyes to the possibility that art can be your next creative step to get through the pandemic. Art books can get you started, and going to the gallery lets you see the possibilities that have blossomed with a little canvas, paper, brushes and paint. Abstracting an image lets us look at it from a different angle.

If your content to be a viewer, the new show “Deck the Walls” is a go to destination. Located in Gallery 1710 beside the South Delta rec center, viewing hours are Saturday and Sunday from noon until 4 p.m.

Social distancing paths and arrows are for your safety.

Bring your mask and prepare to be surprised.

Many images have been hung this month and our walls have expanded with panels showing smaller works crafted by our artisans.

A Delta seed company has raised tens of thousands of dollars in donations for Canadian food banks in the name of B.C.’s chief medical health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

On Nov. 16, West Coast Seeds announced that the company will be honouring Henry with the Dr. Bonnie Henry Pollinator Blend. The company also announced that 100 per cent of proceeds from the seed packet’s sales will be donated to Food Banks Canada. Two days later the packets raised $23,000.

“For us that’s an unprecedented donation, it’s something that we never thought we could ever do,” said Aaron Saks, West Coast Seeds’ director of finance.

Saks added the 5,000 packets are nearly sold out already, prompting the company to order 10,000 more packets.

Saks also said he believes the company’s donation could grow to up to $150,000 by the end of the planting season in MayJune.

The reason for the packet’s specific designation as a pollinator blend is a nod to Henry’s bee pendant. The seed packets’ design also plays off the same theme with the words ‘Bee kind, bee calm and bee safe’ printed

Saks proposed the idea of the seed packets to Henry’s office in July which is when the idea of donations going towards the Canada Food Bank.

“During this time of crisis, many families face significant challenges and more than ever

have had to rely on our food banks. Supporting the food bank is one important way for us to support families during this time of need,” said Henry in a release from West Coast Seeds.

Aaron Saks hopes people will use gardening as a way to pass the time while staying at home.

“Planting seeds and watching

them grow is a joy for gardeners,” said Saks. “Many people look forward to spring gardening to relax and promote positive personal well-being in these stressful times.”

Saks said he hopes to produce another seed packet thanking Henry for her leadership in 2021.

There is lots of little bits and pieces that I throw into the story.”

Kent has lived and sailed the B.C. coast most of his life, adding to his knowledge of local marine lore and historical details. He lives with his wife Diana near their grandchildren in Tsawwassen.

Kent is also busy working on the third novel in his thriller trilogy Jake Prescott series called Vengeance, which he hopes to release at the end of 2020.

Meg Neufeld’s Hope Blooms print is a fundraiser for Alongside You’s Step Forward Program and Azure Place.

Thanksgiving holidays where many could not be with family.

After posting photos of the piece online, a care home in the U.S asked to distribute her work to their 10 locations to encourage beleaguered staff and residents.

Moreover, approached by several individuals for copies of her work, Alongside You is now selling limited edition prints in efforts to raise money for their Step Forward Program (a fund that subsidizes health services for those in need of financial assistance) and Azure Place (Delta’s transition house for women and children fleeing violence).

To date, Alongside You has provided $300,000 worth of subsidized services and their aim is to provide even more, especially as our community face a “second wave” of COVID-19’s and a mental health crisis.

Both Alongside You and Azure Place are seeing an unprecedented number of individuals

seeking their services.

Although the art studio at Alongside You is back up and running under new safety protocols, Neufeld’s emphasis during the shutdown was to make and sell original art pieces, cards, and jewelry, to support clients in need.

This piece takes on new meaning as her own grandmother battles COVID-19. Her hope is that this print will bring joy and hope to others during this time.

Whether it’s for yourself, a friend, a family member, an essential service worker or frontline workers, a care-home, hospital or small business, this is a great way to support two local causes.

Prints are on sale for $50, $20 will go to Alongside You’s Step Forward Program and $20 will go to Azure Place.

Tricera Imaging has generously discounted printing costs for this fundraising effort. To participate in the fundraiser, visit www.alongsideyou.ca/ hope-blooms.

DeltassistXmasprograms nowacceptingdonations For decades Deltassist, in partnership with volunteers the service clubs of Delta and the community, support hundreds of families and individuals each year at Christmas.

This is an amazing testimony to the spirit and culture of Delta.

Each year hundreds of Christmas food hampers and thousands of toys are distributed to low income families and seniors in Delta. It is only because of the overwhelming support of personal and corporate contributions this happens.

Christmas 2020 is going to be different, much like the whole world right now.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, Deltassist wants to ensure the well-being of our community, clients, volunteers and staff as well as the continuation of the Christmas program. To achieve this goal, Deltassist is taking all registrations for Christmas assistance over the phone.

Deltassist is setting up a contact free dis-

tribution Christmas assistance to ensure everyone stays safe. As a result, they have made the following changes to this years’ Christmas program: * Deltassist will only be accepting monetary donations * Deltassist will not be accepting donations of toys or food at this time How to give: It’s easy to give online, see the form at: www. deltassist.com.

You can also donate by phone or mailed cheque.

Donate gift cards (When donating gift cards an original receipt is require for us to provide a tax receipt.)

Your generous donation can make the difference. Help low income families and seniors celebrate the holidays with food on the table and gifts under the tree, providing hope and happiness during the Christmas season.

If you are interested in supporting the program please contact the Kirsti Kober, Community Services Coordinator of Deltassist at: kirstik@deltassist.com.

LADNER VILLAGE THE TRADITION CONTINUES!

LBA gets creative for holidays with launching of shop local videos CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Angela’s Boutique in Ladner Village has a terrific selection of gift ideas.

The Ladner Business Association is rolling with the COVID-19 punches and creating a set of videos to encourage Deltans to shop local.

Jill McKight, LBA president says the creation of the videos is part of how the LBA is going to continue honouring long standing Ladner traditions like the lighting of the Ladner Village Christmas tree as well as the annual Christmas tree festival, both of which were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

McKnight said the first video will feature everyone’s favourite chimney hopper and reindeer tamer, Santa Clause and will culminate with him lighting the Christmas tree on the corner of 48th Avenue and Delta Street.

This year the Christmas tree lighting will not be open to the public.

The tree lighting video will either be released this week, the usual date of the date of the Christmas tree light up, or it will be released as part of the City of Delta’s holiday light up on Dec. 1.

The second video being pro-

duced by the LBA will bring together a selection of local business owners to share a holiday message in the form of a Christmas poem.

McKnight says there could be as many as 18 business owners each reading different stanzas of the poem.

“It’s that whole idea of supporting local which has certainly been a big theme this year and how coming together is what community spirit is all about,” McKnight said.

McKnight anticipates the second video will also be launching close to Dec. 1.

LADNER VILLAGE THE TRADITION CONTINUES!

LBA endorses shopping local via online resources CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The economic slowdown created by the COVID-19 pandemic has created both provincial and municipal initiatives to help small businesses through the winter.

Jill McKnight, president of the Ladner Business Association and owner of West Coast Casuals in Ladner, encourages Delta residents to make use of these resources citing the butterfly effect of benefits shopping local has on the community. Two resources created to help small businesses mentioned by McKnight include Support Local BC and the City of Delta’s online local business directory.

While Support Local BC provides a platform for businesses across the province to sell gift cards, McKnight says it can benefit Delta businesses in other ways.

“It’s a great way of getting our message out on a much broader scale and connecting people outside of our community with Delta businesses but

it’s also making it more accessible to people,” she said adding the site can be used to support other small businesses outside Delta without having to visit them.

McKnight also voiced her support for the City of Delta’s online local business directory, saying it is a great opportunity to be able to search local Delta businesses licenses.

“The question of shopping local or supporting local means different things to different people, she said. “Shop local doesn’t mean just shop in Ladner, it can mean shop in Delta, it can mean shop in the greater Lower Mainland depending on the product need that you have.”

On the topic of shopping local, McKnight spoke to what it means to her and other small business owners when residents choose local businesses.

“It’s everything for us,” she said.

“Especially at this time one of the things that has been very encouraging during some of the times of unknown is the customers that have reached out to us.

Christmas has arrived at South Coast Casuals in Ladner Village.

LADNER VILLAGE THE TRADITION CONTINUES!

Entries encouraged for online carol singing contest until Dec. 15 CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The Ladner Business Association is hosting an online Christmas carol competition in which businesses, families, co-workers and children can participate in.

Jill McKnight, LBA president says the competition is meant to be fun, playful and exciting. The contest, which will run between Nov. 26 and Dec. 15, will have four categories available to compete in and the possibility for bonus prizes, McKnight hopes some businesses start to challenge each other in making the better Christmas carol video.

McKnight says the video submission should be no longer than

a minute and should include the video’s participants singing part of a Christmas carol. To submit a video it must be uploaded to social media along with the hashtag #LBAholidaycheer and tag @discoverladner and @ladnerbusiness.

From there, the LBA will then narrow the submissions down to the top three choices for each category and will then share them through the LBA’s website so people without access to social media can still weigh in on which video is their favourite.

Since businesses within the LBA will be serving as sponsors for the prizes, McKnight says the prizes will be purchased from local businesses that are most applicable to the winners in each category.

Muddy River Landing in Ladner Village is ready for Christmas with a wide range of gift ideas for him and her.

“It does mean a lot and it puts a smile on your face and you’re very grateful sometimes on a day when who knows what else you’ve been faced with that day.”

McKnight went on to say locally spent dollars tend to stay in the local economy and turn into more investment for the community.

“One of the things I love about the Ladner Business Association is being able to see the connections of members working together,” she said. “When you’re supporting a local store that store in turn might support the local printing company or the local web designer or the local graphic designer.

“I think this is a great opportunity that Delta is putting forward to help communicate this information and make it readily accessible to people.”

re you looking to give a meaningful gift that makes a difference in your community? Consider donating to a local non-profit. Just a small contribution can go a long way to helping those in need.

It’s no secret that 2020 has been a difficult year for many. The work of charities and non-profits is more important than ever, and yet many are struggling to stay viable amid the economic downturn and lost revenue. Donations are essential to help maintain a social safety net during this unprecedented time.

Be a hero this holiday season. Here are five Delta non-profits that could use your support:

Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC

Delta Hospice Society

oys and Girls Club (BGC) believes that every kid is amazing. Not that they would be if they only had other opportunities, or if circumstances were different. That they just are. When children feel that they belong and that they matter, they’re able to experience the world as they should.

You can help by choosing to make a gift that will help their amazing kids have a sense of belonging and connection that is not only good for them, but that they deserve. When you make a gift to BGC, it is actually two gifts: the help itself, and the gift of dignity.

Reports of how COVID-19 adversely effects mental health are stacking up. In addition, mental health concerns can occur more frequently in conjunction with other diagnoses. For example, children and adults with autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, FASD and other diagnoses are more likely to develop anxiety or depression. The pandemic is adding pain and stress to already vulnerable families at REACH. To support the increased need for mental health intervention this holiday season, consider donating to REACH counselling program.

This is what it sees day after day, as Delta Hospital staff and the community cope with the pandemic. But even though COVID-19 is at the forefront of our minds right now, it doesn’t mean other health crises aren’t happening. People in the community are still being diagnosed with cancer, or having heart attacks, strokes and other emergencies. Delta Hospital is working to ensure all of our community’s critical needs are met. The equipment on the wishlist will benefit Delta Hospital’s patient population, now and in the future.

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

Diabetes care even more important during pandemic CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

In light of national diabetes awareness month this November, doctors are urging people with diabetes and their caregivers to be doubly cautious due to the COVID19 pandemic.

Dr. Akshay Jain, who operates his own clinic, Fraser River endocrinology in Surrey, spoke to the

Optimist recently about the increased risk people with diabetes face in the midst of the pandemic.

Simply put, diabetes is a chronic disease where an imbalance of blood sugar, or glucose, occurs within the body. The uptake of glucose into the body’s cells is regulated by insulin, people with type one diabetes don’t produce any insulin at all and people with type two

diabetes produce insulin, but their body’s don’t respond to it. People with type one need constant insulin injections while those with type two diabetes can use medications to help the uptake of glucose to their bloodstream.

Jain explained that excessive amounts of glucose can cause damage to the tiny blood vessels in the eyes, kidneys, nerve endings as well as larger blood vessels in the heart and brain. This can lead to kidney damage, loss of eyesight, loss of limbs, heart attacks and strokes.

Jain spoke to residents of Delta and Surrey specifically, saying due to a number of different factors the region is a hotbed of diabetes due to the large number of

Lifeline is a unit of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary. In Delta, we enable approximately 500 residents of Delta to live independently and secure within their own homes.

Volunteers install the equipment and ensure the clients know how to use their Personal Help Buttons. Many calls to Lifeline are solved by responders, therefore preventing unnecessary ambulance calls or visits to the Hospital Emergency Department.

Seniors and their families have peace of mind knowing that help is just a click away.

Having Lifeline was a great comfort for both myself and my mom.

She had cause to use it a couple of times after falling in her home.

With Lifeline she was able to alert me and I was there within minutes.

I travel often and the installation of Lifeline gave both myself and my mom great peace of mind....

“We need to realize that people with uncontrolled blood sugars are at a higher risk of developing complications if they were to get infected with COVID-19,” he said, adding that while people with diabetes are not at an increased risk of infection, if they contract the virus the risk of death is much higher.

Jain went on to say how important it is that people living with diabetes keep a close eye on their blood sugar levels to avoid hospitalization and potentially exposing themselves to COVID-19 while there.

One thing that helps people with diabetes though is continuous glucose monitors. Before these monitors the only

These newer technologies though are able to predict blood sugar dives as far as 20 minutes ahead of time.

Jain said while these are helpful, they are not publicly accessible, which is a serious detriment to those living with the disease.

Jain said if people are interested in getting a continuous glucose monitor they should speak to their doctors.

St. John Ambulance relaunches Community Transfer program St. John Ambulance BC & Yukon recently relaunched their Community Transfer Program (CTP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and demand is surging in Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley.

The CTP provides a safe and caring transportation option for those with mobility or cognitive challenges. The vehicles are equipped with medical supplies, the staff are all medically trained, and the program is following COVID-19 cleaning and safety protocols.

“The CTP is responsive to our community’s needs,” said Senior Program and Project Coordinator Melody Jacobson. “Our team has been able to pivot our response to accommodate the changing dynamics within the pandemic so that clients are safe. The program is a trusted source of transportation, and we are restoring connections for our clients to the life outside of their homes and facilities.”

This is particularly important as people are experiencing the negative effects of isolation. Clients are safely able to visit

their health care specialist, run errands, move between facilities or back home.

The program currently employs 10 oncall staff, and has specially equipped vehicles to transport clients, including the Canadian purpose built MV-1 vehicle designed from the ground up to accommodate wheelchairs.

“During my time with the program, I have experienced the need for the service we provide,” said CTP Staff Samantha Rigby “It is the bridge in the health care system that many people with mobility and cognitive impairments require during non-emergency situations. ” The program specializes in transfers from the client’s home or point of care to their medical appointments or community event. The team also responds to a range of unique requests for clients of all ages and abilities.

The CTP becomes a special source for connection during the holidays, and this year will be ensuring the holidays involve a safe and private transportation choice for their clients to connect and celebrate.

Lifelong teammates heading south Ryan McCarthy and Noah Thomas taking their baseball careers to Centralia College MARK BOOTH

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

The first time Noah Thomas and Ryan McCarthy shared the same dugout was in Ladner Minor Baseball’s Mosquito House League.

About a decade later they will continue to be teammates when they take their careers south of the border next fall.

The Grade 12 Delta Secondary students have signed their letter of intent to play at Centralia Junior College — a juco transfer program that plays in the Northwest Athletic Conference (NAC).

“It was right here at Cromie Park and I think it was second-year Mosquito,” chuckled McCarthy of their debut season. “The next year we weren’t actually on the same team but it’s been every year since then.”

The pair came through Ladner Minor Baseball then spent a couple of seasons with a very talented Delta Tigers Bantam team, before heading to the BC Premier Baseball League and the North Delta Blue Jays.

Thomas is a versatile talent who sees regular duty in the infield as well as the starting rotation. McCarthy has been a fixture in the Jays outfield and both players are expected to be in the heart of the batting order for the 2021 PBL season.

“Ryan has one of the sweetest (lefthanded) swings you will see at this level.

He also has great instincts in the outfield. He’s a guy who you love to have in your culture with his great work ethic and grinder mentality,” said Centralia head coach Kawika Emsley-Pai. “Noah is a versatile hitter who uses his athleticism to play a multiple infield positions, including pitching. He has an exciting future ahead of him!”

The fact both players have secured their collegiate destinations is a reflection of their ability given the 2020 PBL season was essentially a write off due to

MARK BOOTH PHOTO

From Ladner Minor Baseball’s Mosquito Division, to the BCPBL’s North Delta Blue Jays and now Centralia College, standouts Noah Thomas and Ryan McCarthy will continue their careers together. the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Jays were just days away from their regular season opener when Provincial Health Officer orders shut down all baseball activity for about three months. It wasn’t until August when limited regional exhibition games were allowed and fall ball was extended into late October.

The boys can only hope 2021 will be different but you can’t blame them for being skeptical at this point.

Thomas should have been a key member of the Delta Pacers senior boys volleyball team and that season was

also wiped out, while both can hope they will see limited play in the high school basketball season come January.

Meanwhile, regular grad activities have also been postponed, including last month’s grad boat cruise.

Both committed to Centralia back in the summer. The two-year program has an excellent reputation of preparing players for the NCAA Division One level.

“Their coaching staff is very driven,” said Thomas. “They really want the best for us and they don’t really necessarily care about team first. It’s more like

make sure the players go somewhere after that school. I wanted to join and be part of that recruiting class.”

The NAC features games only within Washington State and already have a schedule in place for next spring. That was important to McCarthy.

“The NWAC is pretty close to home and we know that the league will be playing,” he said. I thought it would be a really fun experience.

“I loved the coaching there and the way he explained the program. The facilities looked realty nice and I heard a lot of great things about the program.”

BRAMWELL, Florence Thelma December 28, 1936 − August 8, 2020 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Florence Thelma Bramwell. Thelma passed away quickly and peacefully with her family by her side at Delta General Hospital.

She will be missed by her four sons, Timothy (partner, Karyn), Jeremy (wife, Giselle), Johnathon (wife, Christine), and Geoffrey (partner, Simona); and nine grandchildren (Anthony, Stephan, Christopher, Ross, Aubrey, Adam, Spencer, Logan, and step−son, Ethan).

She was proud of having worked for the United Nations mission in England, starting a temporary medical staffing agency in Toronto, and pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours in Vancouver. In later years, Thelma supported the Seniors Peer Counselling Society and the Canadian Cancer Society. Due to COVID−19, a private cremation ceremony was held with her family.

Born in 1940 in Kilmarnock, Scotland, to Samuel and Ann Thomson.

Dorothy immigrated to Canada in 1970 with her husband Lindsay and son Paul, eventually settling down in Tsawwassen, BC, where they attended Tsawwassen Alliance Church and welcomed their daughter Rhoda to the family.

Dorothy had a quiet, steadfast, strength. Her strong faith and resilient character saw her through many challenging seasons in her life.

Dorothy loved Jesus, others, books, gardens, dogs, chocolate, and a good cup of tea. She had a great smile and laugh, coupled with a grateful heart and disposition, which stayed with her until her passing on the evening of November 15, 2020, under the loving care of West Shore Laylum residential home.

Dorothy is survived by her son, Paul Brooks (Darlene, Tyson and Shelby, Megan), and daughter Rhoda Strutt (Dave, Cassie, Katrina). Although she is missed, her impact goes on, and her family finds peace in knowing that she is now with her saviour.

A small graveside service with immediate family will be held on November 27th at Boundary Bay Cemetery, with a video of the service available for viewing through Tsawwassen Alliance Church at a later date.

OLSON, Marion June 13, 1924 − November 21, 2020 Laura Marion Olson [b. 1924−6−13] died in Tsawwassen on November 21, 2020, after a long illness. She was born in New Westminster. She is survived by her sister, Frances McDonald; her children and their spouses (Eric and Lindy Olson, Kate and Philippe Herve du Penhoat, and Phil and Cathy Olson), six grandchildren, and nine great− grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Margaret McDonald; her husband, Bob Olson; her sisters, Kathryn and Ruth; and her brother, Gordon. Marion was a teacher and Bob an engineer − they lived in mining towns in BC, Ontario, and Saskatchewan before retiring in Tsawwassen in 1975. She was a member of the United Church and the University Women’s Club.

She was vivacious and outgoing, with a ready smile, and a zest for life. Due to the pandemic, there will be no service or celebration of life at this time.

TRONIAK, Lyla-Jo May 23, 1935 - November 21, 2020 Our beloved Lyla-Jo Troniak (nee Yates) passed away peacefully and with dignity at home, surrounded by her family, on Saturday, November 21, 2020, following a brave twenty-two-year battle with ALS. Lyla was preceded in death by her mother and father, Wilma and Harvey Yates, and her eldest son Mitchell (2005,) as well as two brothers-in-law, Ken Fowles and Bill Troniak.

Lyla is survived by her husband Bruce and her children: Lisa (Kevin), Lindsay (Heather), Anthony and Erin; grandchildren Georgia, Lyle, Dylan, Ethan and Abigail; and great-granddaughter Jasmine.

Also surviving are Lyla’s sister Willa, brother Arnold (Jean), and sister-in-law Bobbi, as well as a number of beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends across the country and beyond.

Lyla-Jo was born in Regina and raised in the Norwood and Deer Lodge areas of Winnipeg. She always loved to dance and, in her early years, was a talented dance competitor and instructor. She was involved for many years in the wholesale fashion industry while also caring for her busy family. After living in a number of communities in western Canada, Lyla and her husband Bruce chose to settle in the beautiful community of Tsawwassen 30 years ago. One of Lyla’s greatest loves and achievements was owning and operating their beautiful and welcoming B & B in Tsawwassen named “Southlands by the Sea”.

Bruce and Lyla were married for 54 years and his love and personal commitment to her care during her long illness enabled her to remain at home and in the community that has been so special to her.

We would also like to acknowledge the wonderful and dedicated nurses and care-givers from the Fraser Health Region who have delivered delicate and concerned care over the past many years.

These carers became special friends to Lyla.

In lieu of flowers, and if you so wish to make a donation on her behalf, please consider the ALS Society of BC; https://www.alsbc.ca/donate/ or a charity of your choice.

All of us who knew and loved Lyla-Jo take inspiration from her incredible courage, grace and humour.

We will always love her and hold her dear in our memory.

Lyla asks that all of us remember her with “love and laughter”.

The family moved to Tsawwassen in the mid-sixties, where Lillian was a devoted wife, a loving mother to her four children, and, an active volunteer in the community. When her children were older, Lillian returned to work at Kinsmen Care Centre until her retirement. She loved being a nurse and had a special affinity for the seniors she cared for. A fantastic baker, Lillian leaves a legacy of many family favourite recipes. She particularly enjoyed “afternoon” tea with her dear friends. An avid reader and a lifelong learner, Lillian read multiple newspapers daily and would clip out numerous articles on every possible subject to give to, or discuss with, anyone she thought might have an interest. Lillian had a quiet deep faith and was gentle, patient and kind.

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, friend and nurse.

As a young mother, Eva fought and won two separate battles with cancer in 1977 and 1985. She did this with the same quiet strength with which she tackled any and all problems.

Eva was a talented and capable lady who never hesitated to take on any task. Her calm, serene composure was the envy of her friends. Entertaining was a pleasure for Eva. She definitely earned her title as “Appetizer Queen”. As an active member of Beta Sigma Phi for several years, Eva had many opportunities to hone her hostess skills. After Peter’s retirement, he and Eva took many enjoyable trips to Ajijic, where they took advantage of the chance to explore much of Mexico.

Your mother... is an amazing cook! It blows my mind every time.

www.bakerviewcrematorium.com

The Sim family of Ladner wish to sincerely thank all relatives, friends and neighbours for the many kind expressions of sympathy and support with cards, letters and floral tributes following the sad and sudden loss of our wife and mother, Hazel.

A big thank you as well to our Paramedics and members of Delta FD for their valiant efforts to save Hazel; unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.

But knowing we have such professionals in our community has been a comforting blessing.
