South Delta residents face challenge getting COVID-19 vaccine booking close to home 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

It has become a hit-and-miss scenario for those eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination to find a convenient clinic location to book a shot.

While Fraser Health has made things easier through its online booking system, the health region’s page of available clinics shows that, as more people are becoming eligible, some centres have just a few slots left, while others are full and not even taking appointments.

Among those not taking appointments at the start of this week was the Ladner clinic located next to municipal hall, although there were still plenty of bookings available at the new clinic set up at the North Delta Recreation Centre, which opened Monday.

The health region on Tuesday noted that as more clinics come online, some of the previous locations will either close or be repurposed.

The Optimist emailed Fraser Health to get more clarity on the booking availability at the Ladner clinic, but did not receive a response by press deadline Wednesday.

Cathy Wiebe, executive director White Rock/South Surrey and Delta Health Services and Peace Arch and Delta Hospital, told the Optimist last week things had gone well when the clinics opened, but could get interesting when more massive numbers begin trying to

book an appointment.

She noted there’s potentially one more clinic coming for Delta but she hadn’t heard if that’s been confirmed yet, and it would be up to the province to make such an announcement.

Fraser Health on Tuesday announced the opening of five new mass COVID19 immunization clinics, including the North Delta Recreation Centre, and that planning is underway to also open new clinics in Langley, Burnaby, New

Meanwhile, the City of Delta will be trying to make things easier for seniors who may need a ride to a clinic.

City manager Sean McGill told the Optimist a pilot program started last week where all three of the seniors buses used for Delta residents, with a maximum of seven in two of the buses and five in the smaller bus.

He noted the city has to give a few days’ notice to Fraser Health to hold the spots and staff are working with the health region to try and block book several appointments at a time so that the city can maximize the efficiency of the bus trips.

Fraser Health has been very cooperative and has been allowing the city to coordinate the trip and appointment for the block bookings, said McGill.

“We are phoning seniors from the seniors’ centres to let them know about the bus programs. We are also taking individual bookings when we can work around the block bookings. We are also working with our communications staff to better advertise the bus program,” he explained. “As this is a new service to us, we are still evolving and ironing out some of the details but we will continually streamline things and expect to be very busy with the buses going forward.”

BCEHS responds to mayors’ calls for change 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

Fire first responders in Delta are notified of all life-threatening, timecritical calls.

That’s what B.C. Emergency Health Services is saying in response to a recent letter from Delta Mayor George Harvie and nine other Metro Vancouver mayors who say long delays for ambulance service should prompt the province to reconsider the role of other municipal emergency responders.

“We appreciate the assistance of Delta firefighters when responding to potentially life-threatening and serious medical emergencies. Fire first responders are notified of all life-threatening, time-critical calls (known as Purple and Red in our system),” BCEHS explained in a statement to the Optimist.

“As per direction from the Provincial Health Officer, BCEHS has reduced the number of lower acuity calls that Fire First Responders attend for medical response to reduce the risk of infection, and that direction remains in place. BCEHS is collaborating with provincial fire leadership to monitor this response. This has been in place throughout the COVID pandemic. Fire departments continue to be notified of all vehicle crashes, hazardous materials sites, fire related calls, drowning/ near drowning incidents and other calls where their expertise and assistance is needed.”

In a letter to Health Minister Adrian Dix last week, Harvie and his fellow mayors said they are concerned about the impacts of staffing shortages at the provincial ambulance service on response times and patient care.

“With staffing shortages impacting response times for the BC Ambulance Service, we want to work with the Province to ensure public safety and that those most vulnerable and in desperate need of our services have access to it in a timely fashion. We are currently dealing with the dual crises of COVID-19 and the opioid crisis and all we’re asking for is the opportunity to provide effective services for our communities,” Harvie stated.

The letter also notes that on Feb. 19, the Ambulance Paramedics and Emergency Dispatchers of BC reported that 30 of the 120 ambulances across the Lower Mainland were unstaffed, a situation that can result in significant delays in the provision of emergency medical care to patients when trained fire department personnel are not dispatched as well.

“Last week a patient in Delta with a serious medical issue had to wait 42 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Fortunately in this case, Delta Fire personnel were dispatched, were on scene in less than six minutes, and were able to care for the patient until the BC Ambulance Service arrived,” the letter states.

Delta continues lobbying to have BCEHS notify Delta fire and other fire departments of more emergency medical dispatches.

It’s been a contentious issue since 2015, when Delta rolled out a new program to provide enhanced medical aid by firefighters who received

additional training.

Subsequent changes to 911 protocols four years ago resulted in the fire department being notified about medical calls only in certain cases.

BCEHS notes B.C. residents can be assured paramedics continue to get to critical patients and prioritize responses based on the medical priority dispatch system used around the world. That means patients with life-threatening symptoms, including cardiac arrest and breathing difficulties, receive an urgent lights and sirens ambulance response.

“BCEHS is a provincial ambulance service with no municipal boundaries, and when we have unstaffed ambulances we have a strong system in place to send ambulances from the surrounding stations,” BCEHS stated. “To clarify the union’s information of more than 30 ambulances being unstaffed on a weekend shift in February, our staffing records show that we in fact had 17 unavailable due to staffing.

“We have added close to 150 permanent paramedic positions throughout the province during the pandemic and we are adding more positions in the weeks and months ahead that will increase stability in our staffing.”

As far as Delta’s lobbying effort to change the Clinical Response Model, BCEHS, the notes, “The legislation determining who attends medical emergency calls is set by the provincial government under the Emergency Health Services Act…The Act determines who can provide first aid or medical services in emergency situations. As a provincial emergency medical system, it is not possible, nor advisable, to treat the City of Delta separately from all other BC municipalities with respect to firefighter first responder partners.”

Delta teachers, police and fire among the next COVID-19 vaccine priorty groups 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

Delta teachers and first responders like Delta police will soon be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

The B.C. Ministry of Health announced last Thursday (March 18) that

more than 300,000 frontline workers, including first responders, grocery store employees, teachers and child care workers, will be eligible for vaccinations over the coming weeks.

Beginning in April, people in the next priority groups identified by

public health and the COVID-19 Workplace Task Group will start to receive their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Among those groups are first responders, such as police, firefighters and emergency transport personnel, as well as K-12 educational staff.

Reflecting on a year of change

Chief Neil Dubord, during the Delta Police Board meeting last week, said there was some confusion regarding the vaccine rollout among his force which needed clarification.

He noted that he talked with Fraser Health president and CEO Dr. Victoria Lee to get clarity and a better understanding of what police officers can expect.

Dubord said that while police officers weren’t part of the first priority groups, he expected that to change in the coming weeks.

Those representing the RCMP also raised concern about police officers having to wait to get vaccinated.

In a statement, Brian Sauvé, president of the National Police Federation, representing RCMP officers across

Canada, urged the B.C. government to prioritize access to COVID-19 vaccinations for officers.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Teachers Federation said they were pleased to hear that teachers will be among the next priority groups.

“The last year has been incredibly stressful on everyone in the school system. Like all British Columbians, the COVID19 pandemic has brought stress, anxiety, and even grief to our personal and professional lives.

I join all of my teacher colleagues in expressing huge relief that educators across BC will be prioritized in April to receive a COVID-19 vaccine,” said BCTF president Teri Mooring.

She said that while they wait for more details and timelines over the next few days, she also

wants to thank the new Minister of Education, Jennifer Whiteside, who has been working hard with the BCTF. On Tuesday, the province announced that the mass vaccination of teachers in the Surrey School District would begin this week.

Surrey is considered one of the provincial COVID-19 hotspots.

2021 WATERMAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The City of Delta will begin conducting the 2021 annual flushing program on Monday, January 25. The flushing process may result in Delta resident’s water supply showing sediment and discoloration.

If sediment or discoloration appears in your water, please run the cold-water tap (at the highest point in your premises) for approximately 20 minutes or until it clears.

Should the problem persist, please contact the Engineering Department at 604-946-3260 or submit a TalkDelta service request through our website at delta.ca/talkdelta.

On March 17, 2020 we closed our studio.

After 13 years of serving South Delta we were not sure what was in store for us in the days, weeks and months to come.

As we watched other gyms and studio’s close their doors for good, we knew we owed our clients, ourselves and families more than to just throw in the towel.

Only seven days later, on March 24th we had completely changed how we serve our clients and community. We gave all our equipment to clients and began our live online personal and group training.

We have been able to welcome clients from across Canada to our online classes and have been able to include outdoor

boot camps as well as limited one on one training inside the studio.

Watermain flushing is scheduled for the following areas. In some cases these dates and locations may be altered due to unforeseen circumstances.

A year later we are a year stronger. Fitness is such an important part of mental health which has never been more important than it has been this past year. We thank you for your continued support.

School board changes timeline for budget

2021-22 proposal has been pushed to April 29 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 Delta school district is saying there has been a change to the dates for its budget process this year.

Those date changes will impact when the board of education makes a public release of budget recommendations and hold a special public board meeting to hear input from the public.

The proposed budget was originally going to be released early next month, but that’s been pushed to April 29, after the provincial budget has been finalized.

The board will then hold a meeting Tuesday, May 4 via Zoom for people to comment on

the budget recommendations, with the board voting on the budget May 11.

Last year, Delta school district had a shortfall of $582,000, but there were no cuts to teaching or maintenance staff.

Instead, to balance the books, the district decreased expenses with reductions in administration, technology and through hiring delays.

The previous year’s operating budget saw no cuts to any department for the first time in many years, and also included a small surplus of about $63,000.

Like most school districts in B.C., Delta has been suffering from declining enrollment for a number of years, which had a big impact

on annual operating budgets.

Some years saw the enrollment drop by hundreds, forcing school trustees to make a lot of tough financial decisions, including closing Delta Manor and Boundary Beach elementary schools as well as cuts in areas like educational assistants.

In more recent years that trend came to an end as enrollment stabilized.

Delta has seen an overall decrease of 68 students this year, while last year saw the district gain 39 students.

For more information about this year’s budget process check the school district’s website at https://www.deltasd. bc.ca/.

The Delta Optimist has been announced as a finalist for three Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards including Overall Newspaper Excellence in its circulation category.

This is the second year in a row that the Optimist has been nominated for Overall Newspaper Excellence. The Optimist won the award in 2020.

“Being a finalist in Newspaper Excellence for 2020 is truly special,” said Optimist publisher Matt Blair.

In addition to the nod for Newspaper Excellence, editor Ian Jacques has been announced a finalist in the Investigative Journalism category for

his work on Bullying takes extreme toll.

“From my perspective, as publisher, this is the premiere journalism award within our industry,” said Blair. “Having an editor and newsroom who are trusted by our community to tell their most sensitive stories is a significant asset to the Optimist and one we can all be appreciative of.”

And finally, the Make History contribution campaign was announced a finalist in the Newspaper Promotion category.

“This fundraising campaign saw overwhelming support from our readers at a time when news mattered most,” said Blair.

“For their contributions,

the Optimist recognized each and every reader that rallied behind us.

This award furthers that recognition of our amazing community.”

The Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards Gala will be held virtually on Thursday, April 29.

The BCYCNA represents 93 newspapers across the province and in the Yukon that reach almost two million readers.

Its annual excellence awards are named for the late Margaret “Ma” Murray, a pioneer in the newspaper industry in B.C. who homesteaded with her husband, George, in a home they built in Anmore in 1916.

Friendly skies above for Boundary Bay Airport 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

Boundary Bay Airport in East Delta is getting a boost from the province.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure announced last week funding for several local airports for infrastructure improvements including upgrading taxi lanes, new airside paving and green building projects.

It’s part of B.C.’s COVID-19 economic recovery plan and the B.C. Air Access Program grant program.

More than $9 million is being provided province-wide with five airports on the south coast sharing $3.4 million in funding for upgrades including Boundary Bay Airport, which will receive just over $580,000.

With severe impacts on travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the province partnered with 27 regional airports and the federal government to develop a coordinated approach to support the sector, the ministry explains.

“We know the pandemic has caused financial stress for many industries

Boundary Bay Airport in East Delta will be receiving just over $580,000 from the provincial government as part of the B.C. Air Access Program grant program. and significantly impacted our aviation sector throughout B.C., including our community airports,” said Minister Rob Fleming. “But we’re also looking to better days ahead, post-pandemic.

That’s why we’re taking action to support communities with important

infrastructure upgrades so we can boost jobs, tourism and trade that will give us a head start with B.C.’s economic recovery.”

The B.C. Air Access Program, now in its seventh year, is a cost-share program that provides funding to assist

communities with improvements to their airport infrastructure that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to achieve, the ministry notes.

Meanwhile, the City of Delta, which owns the airport and leases it to Alpha Aviation, is continuing road projects around the airport including extending Ottawa Street.

In 2018, the street was extended east from Athabaska Street. Alpha Way was also constructed to allow access for airside development of a new hangar.

A recent report to council notes that, as a next step, Delta has been working to further extend Ottawa Street to the Churchill Street Connector/Fire Hall No.4 traffic circle.

The Ottawa Street extension will improve access to airside developments to the south of the road and non-airside developments to the north of the road, the report explains.

The project is included in the airport’s engineering servicing plan, which was designed to provide for more efficient and coordinated servicing of new airport developments.

Editor’s Note

T

IAN JACQUES

hey are everyday heroes.

Our police, firefighters, paramedics, doctors and nurses serve our community in good times, but in mostly times of great need…and there has been no greater need than in the past year in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

In today’s (March 25) edition, we at the Optimist, along with many community leaders and businesses, pay tribute and salute our first responders and caregivers for the immense sacrifice that they have all shown in the past year.

We interviewed folks from Delta police, Delta fire, local paramedics and Delta Hospital officials to get an idea of what life has been like, how the job has changed and the challenges faced.

Each of these stories are unique and many were much longer than what we could offer up in print, so I would encourage readers to check out the stories on our website in the coming days.

One common thread between them all is the feelings of teamwork, not only with their own colleagues, but with government and health officials and their fellow first responders.

Police, fire, hospital staff and paramedics have a long history of working together in times of crisis, where everyone has played a role in that emergency situation, but a pandemic of this nature has brought those relationships even closer and it would appear even stronger.

I can’t imagine the stress and anxiety that our first responders have taken on in the past year. Leaving behind their families on a daily basis, to put themselves at great risk to ensure the health and safety of our community. Then, at the end of their shift, the stress and anxiety of making sure they continue to be safe so they can return to their families.

It’s an amazing burden to hold onto.

So as you read their stories, say a little prayer and offer thanks to all who serve and keep us safe.

Grants offer young farmers opportunities

Y

ou may have noticed an ad in this paper last week for an agricultural scholarship and continuing education grant that are being offered by the City of Delta for students who are interested in studying an aspect agriculture at any postsecondary institution and by completing a continuing education course.

The scholarship and grant are for $2,000 each.

Careers in the agri-food and agri-tech industries are wide and varied, and it is important that young and old alike better understand this $15 billion contributor to our economy.

Where we live, agriculture has been, and is, a rich and important part of our heritage and a vital part of our local economy.

Still, we may collectively take the agriculture sector for granted. We tend to regard farming and food production as something that others do.

We are more apt to be concerned about what is on the dinner table tonight and not about how it got there.

The scholarship program is recognition that the City of Delta wants to ensure a better understanding of the sector and it is a strong start to build awareness around the impor-

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

tance of the industry amongst youth in the hopes that we can sustain the business of food.

Delta’s Agricultural Advisory Committee has been working on this program for several months and is supportive of building participation in food and farming.

The scholarship offers a broad palette for prospective award winners. Whether it be the pursuit of an undergrad science degree in the hopes of becoming a veterinarian, or looking at trades’ education to become a farm mechanic, the choices are many, yet much still has to be done to market these opportunities. This effort has been under way in the Delta School District for a while via Project Pickle and the Delta Farm Roots program and this year there is an emphasis

on engaging grade six and seven students in the hopes that an interest in agri-food and agri-tech will be continued in high school and beyond.

Local farming operations are looking for help in the hopes that food production can be sustained in Delta.

There are farmers that need workers now and whom will aim to hire summer help from high school students. Onsite training will be provided, including the development of valuable skills such as operation of farm vehicles, animal husbandry, and other life skills that will go a long way to build real world resumes.

COVID-19 has presented many challenges across many sectors of our economy, but food and farming remains of paramount importance.

The City of Delta’s program will be continued in years to come and it is hoped that students and parents can immerse themselves in informative discussions around understanding what the future may hold in valuable and varied food-related career choices.

Mike Schneider is founder of Project Pickle and likes to write about growing, cooking and eating food. He is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution ambassador.

Vaccination system is well-organized Editor: Our compliments to Fraser Health and their people who are presently working to activate a COVID-19 vaccination process in the City of Delta.

Today, Friday, March 19 and belonging to the age group to receive vaccination early, we experienced an imposing, seamless performance by everyone in action.

From the friendly traffic

advisor on the way to the building, showing us the way to alternate parking, since the dedicated parking was already filled, to the people greeting us at the entrance, helping with questions in the handed out forms, while standing all the while in the cold morning wind.

Everyone, with no exception is to thank for their friendly, calm way, especially the expert young lady to give me the vac-

cine injection. I did not feel the needle at all.

Fortunately my wife accompanied me because she could interpret what everyone had said.

I am hard of hearing and with everyone wearing a mask I am out of luck not seeing their lips move. In our opinion the whole system is a wellorganized successful endeavour.

No need for more places to drink Editor: Re: Delta to allow alcohol consumption in city parks (Optimist, March 11).

Why do we need another public place for drinking alcohol? There are pubs, restaurants and even our ferries where people can consume their favourite alcoholic beverage.

Parks are a place

where families often go so as to have some fresh air, recreation and exercise. Are we not concerned about the safety of our children when playing, while adults who should be supervising them are too busy enjoying themselves drinking alcohol?

Have any studies been done where accidents have occurred on the

playground or in cars on the street because of the adults being under the influence of alcohol?

Would anyone admit they were drinking at a public park before the accident happened?

What is wrong with a society that says it can only have a good time or socialize with others when drinking alcohol?

Protecting habitat should be the goal Editor: Re: Port of Vancouver pitches project for Westham Island (Optimist, March 18) I am not against port infrastructure, but I am against the Port of Vancouver destroying what they term a “lowvalue intertidal sandflat and mud flat” to com-

pensate for their activities.

This is the only intertidal sandflat in the upper Canoe Pass channel. The rest of the intertidal area is mud and fine silt.

The uniqueness of this sandflat is why every summer hundreds of Canada geese congregate

at this specific location every year.

My family has had a property at Canoe Pass for 35-plus years, and I have salmon fished in Canoe Pass since I was a child.

I guess the Port of Vancouver knows better than me and the geese.

What does MAiD sound like, feel like?

Editor: Re: George Stewart letter on MAiD (Optimist, March 18).

Mr. Stewart commented on the benefit that “...dying is a natural and logical extension of the services offered by the Irene Thomas Hospice facility” and “It’s setting is conducive to a peaceful transition;” through MAiD. I have had the privilege to be with a couple of patients at the ITH facility in the last five years or so.

Anyone who has had similar experiences there would not forget the peaceful, quiet stillness when visiting the

dying there. We know what the good palliative care does for the dying at this wonderful facility.

We need to have the conversation and information regarding the process of the MAiD assisted dying to ask the question, ‘Is it a peaceful, quiet and serene transition for the dying’ like the palliative care we know at the ITH? What does MAiD sound like, feel like?

Can the MAiD process respectfully be administered together with the palliative care process that we know, in a facility like the ITH? Bill Jones

May the twinning of the tunnel begin now

Editor: Not sure how to answer Ingrid Abbott’s negative comments about the $40 million improvements to the George Massey Tunnel (Community Comment, Optimist, March 18) and the concern that it will delay the building of second tunnel beside it, but I will try.

Perhaps a new tunnel could have been built in 2013 if the provincial government of the day had adhered to the recommendations by tunnel engineering consultants. They recommended that a new tunnel be built next to the George Massey Tunnel and improvements could be made to tunnel

that would increase the height internally, provide a safety exit, improve the lighting and increase the depth of the water for shipping.

She comments about the age of the tunnel being 62 years. Perhaps if the tunnel had been lined with white ceramic tile as was initially proposed you would not see the gray colored cement and the lighting would even have been better. Even with the better lighting the chance of accidents will lesson and there will be at least a better increase in the flow of traffic.

When it comes to age, the Maas River Tunnel that was built in 1938 by the same builders who

built the George Massey Tunnel is now 83 years old and in 2017-2019 was renovated at a cost of 262 Euros ($311,963,400.00 U.S.) as they said it was still cheaper than having to build another crossing being a bridge or tunnel.

I cannot agree that if spending $40 million to make the George Massey Tunnel safer in the interim, is nothing but a delay to committing to a new crossing sooner that what is needed.

Anything that is done to improve the safety of people should be considered a positive move and not be politicized in a negative manner as shown by the writer.

Streets and shared paths are not raceways Editor: Re: letters to editor re bicycles on shared paths I totally agree with the letter to the editor dated March 4/21 from Frankie Dosen in regards to cyclists

on local pathways. We have the same problem on the dyke here in Tsawwassen.

Cyclists traveling too fast and not giving any warning of their coming.

It would be common

courtesy to say “passing on the left or right” or having a bell on the bike.

Same goes for local streets. The streets are not raceways.

Keeping Christmas lights up makes me happy Editor: Re: Why are Christmas lights still up (letters, Optimist, March 18).

I would like to answer your question.

I still have my Christmas lights up because it makes me happy.

Being happy has been a much harder thing to achieve this past year and keeping a little more light in my life has helped.

I am a widow and live alone, which

basically makes a bubble of one and I rarely get to see any of my family.

So why does it matter to anyone else if I keep my Christmas lights up until March this year? I’m sure everyone, including you could use a little extra light in your life.

I’ve thought of taking my lights down a few times, but I always think just a little bit longer...

Delighted Eldercollege programs are back Editor: It is so encouraging to see all the signs of our community awakening from a dormancy period due to COVID-19.

The many announcements for special opportunities still being offered via zoom where necessary such as Eldercollege Delta special presentations

along with the few open to small groups attended physically. Learning for fun is such a nice way to meet people with similar interests and for years, Eldercollege offered up a wider selection of subjects facilitated by retired professors and teacher-specialists in their subjects.

Rental apartment building proposed for Tsawwassen

Your newspaper needs your support

Application for 48-unit structure on 56th Street 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 Delta has received an application to build a rental apartment building along the Tsawwassen strip.

Council recently received preliminary information from planning staff about an application by Buro47 Architecture Inc., on behalf of the owner Bosa Properties, to build a 48-unit market rental apartment building at 1467 56th Street.

The building would be comprised of five storeys and two levels of underground parking and located at the southwest corner of 14B Avenue and 56 Street.

This site was formerly occupied by a gas station which has been vacant since 2012.

Please take the time to read this week’s issue of the Optimist, and consider the value of what’s in it.

If you like what you read and see, then please consider a voluntary subscription for $50 for the year*. *plus taxes It’s as simple as signing up at Subscription.Delta-Optimist.com or calling 604-946-4451

Pedestrian entry would be from 14B Avenue at the northeast corner of the building, while vehicular access to the parkade would be from 14B Avenue.

The building would contain both an indoor common amenity area and an outdoor common amenity area at the rear of the proposed development.

The proposal includes five studio units, 27, onebedroom units and 16, two-bedroom units.

The application comes as the city continues to work on formulating a new housing action plan.

A previous Delta staff report to council notes the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported that the city’s vacancy rate a couple of years ago was 1.3 per cent, whereas a healthy resi-

dential rental market typically has a two-to-three per cent vacancy rate.

Very little purposebuilt rentals have been added over the last decade and such housing comprises only five per cent of Delta’s overall housing stock.

Meanwhile, vacancies continue to become less affordable.

The report also notes Metro Vancouver’s projected housing needs to 2026 estimates that Delta will need to introduce 800 new rental units over the next 10 years, 640 of which should serve households earning under $50,000 annually.

Hoping to address the vacancy crunch, council recently approved bylaw amendments aimed at making it easier for homeowners to add secondary suites.

Ladner housing development would be built in two phases 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 Delta’s planning department is going over public feedback on a major redevelopment project proposed near Ladner Village.

Requiring rezoning and an Official Community Plan amendment, the application submitted would see a housing project located at 4603, 4625 and 4649 Evergreen Lane.

Council received preliminary information on the plan last summer to build 198 units comprising seniors and family rental housing.

A relocation plan for the current residents has also been submitted to Delta.

The proposed development by Affordable Housing Societies would be non-market rental housing with rents set

at levels affordable for households with low, moderate and middle incomes, the planning department notes.

For the past two years Affordable Housing Societies have been working to develop a plan for the redevelopment on its properties on Evergreen Lane.

Funding for the project has been secured through BC Housing’s Community Housing Fund.

The project would be completed in two phases with the first being 130 seniors’ housing units in a four-storey apartment building on the north portion of the site, while the second would be 68 family housing units in a 48-unit four-storey apartment building and a 20-unit three-storey townhouse building on the south portion of the site.

The city is gathering comments on the proposal until the end of March.

Meanwhile, the city has also recently received a development application to construct a 61-bed community care facility nearby on Arthur Drive.

Still in its early stages and requiring community feedback, the application from D&H Sandhu Enterprises Inc., on behalf of land owner Landcraft Development Group, proposes a facility at 4501 Arthur Dr., where the historic Westholme Residence is currently located.

It would comprise of a new main three-storey building with one level of under-building parking.

The heritage house would be located closer to Arthur Drive and would be fully restored to be used as part of that proposed care facility.

New fees coming for Delta rec facilities 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

Discussions are now underway on changes to fees for Delta’s parks and recreation facilities.

That’s according to a staff memo to the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission, which notes a review of the fee structure has resumed.

The outcome of the review includes several principles that have already been set including non-Delta residents and organizations paying more than Delta-based residents and groups, while membership rates for seniors will be the same as children and family rates.

Another change includes the definition of “Super Seniors” changed to “Older Adults” while those who receive free admission to the City of Delta’s recreation and culture facilities will be lowered to 75 years and older.

In response to a letter last fall from a resident complaining about the current COVID-19 fee structure, saying the new cost is more expensive for anyone using recreation facilities every day, staff noted that fees for the use of a recreation facility pre-pandemic covered

approximately 30 per cent of the cost of providing the service.

During COVID-19, the current flat fee system represents a smaller portion of the cost of operating a facility.

The staff memo also noted that, on average, individuals and families used recreation facilities less than 10 times per month pre-COVID-19.

The new flat fee applied during COVID-19 of $5 for an adult and $4 for a child is a lower cost alternative, the memo explained.

“In setting the fees under the COVID19 model, staff considered how the majority of people actually use the facilities and set fees that benefitted the maximum number of individuals,” the parks staff noted.

However, staff also acknowledge the current COVID-19 fee structure can be more expensive than the previous pass system.

“A senior patron averaging 12.5 days of usage per month or 40 per cent of all available time pays $62.50 per month under the single admission rate during COVID-19. In comparison, the cost would have been $44.67 per month by purchasing a three-month pass in preCOVID-19 times.”

Nature Notes: Life on the slough VALERIE FULLER

D e l t a N a t u ra l i s t s S o c i e t y

I am one of those fortunate people who lives along Chilukthan Slough in Ladner.

There is so much wildlife in and around the slough I don’t know where to begin. I wonder how many times, you have driven over one of the four bridges in Ladner Village and haven’t given the slough beneath your wheels a second thought.

You’d be surprised what you might find there.

Chilukthan Slough is an off-shoot of Deas Slough and begins around the Government Dock near Sharkey’s Pub, meanders along Arthur Drive, past Save-On Foods, between residences and farmland, and disappears from view around 34b Ave. Along

that stretch of the slough a vast array of wildlife, including fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects, makes its home.

Herons stalk along the banks hunting for fish, frogs, and snakes. The Belted Kingfisher can be seen diving into the slough from a branch to catch its prey, and yet another fisheater, the River Otter, occasionally swims the length of the slough, but perhaps more for fun than serious fishing. River Otters make “slides” on the bank of the slough and play on them like children in a playground.

Not exactly the first animal you might think of when asked to name a rodent, but there are beaver living in the slough and as the legend goes, they are very busy.

There is one persistent

beaver who has tried on a couple of occasions to chomp down my apple tree. I have wrapped stucco wire around the trunk now and “my” beaver seems to be focussing his efforts elsewhere.

In addition to beautiful Wood Ducks, the slough attracts a myriad of birds, resident and migratory. I have counted more than 50 species of birds, which have been attracted to my yard next to the slough, but that’s another story.

The slough is alive and well and certainly worth a second look.

125th Ladner May Days will be a virtual celebration MARK BOOTH

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

COVID-19 isn’t going to spoil a milestone birthday for Ladner’s signature weekend event.

While the pandemic will prevent thousands from gathering over three days at Memorial Park for the second straight year, volunteers have been hard at work to make sure the 125th edition of Ladner May Days will still be special. They are leaning on the fair’s rich history to create a virtual celebration that will be presented for viewing on a revamped website www.ladnermaydays. com and the Ladner May Days’ official Facebook

page.

“It’s about sharing the knowledge with the community and bringing them altogether on it,” explained May Days committee volunteer Missy Coghill. “Since it’s our 125th year, there were plans for big things of course, but with everything it’s going to be a little bit different. We are also doing a virtual parade, having entertainment that people can watch online. Printing off some stuff to do with their kids and families.”

Coghill also happens to oversee the May Royal Court that crowns the Ladner May Queen and her princesses. That will also take place virtually

“We will be going through the schools and asking kids to send in a small photo or video of themselves, then we will be compiling all of them,” she continued. “We felt kids from last year still

need to get a chance to participate, so each Delta school will have two representatives, a Grade 6 (2021) and a Grade 7 (2020).”

The committee has already received terrific responses from past May Queens and princesses

Early intervention continues during the pandemic The Infant Development Program (IDP) at Reach Child and Youth Development Society is accepting referrals and working through various means to connect with newly referred families during the pandemic.

The early years are critical for brain development and families are often at a loss of what to do when things don’t go

as planned. Reach IDP is family-centered and uses a developmental parenting model to support families.

A combination of virtual and in-person sessions are being used to keep families safe during COVID-19. The early years are a critical time for children’s brain development and it is vital to receive interven-

tion if there are developmental concerns.

“We work with families to identify developmental strategies and activities that are fun and part of a family’s everyday routines,” said program coordinator Leora Shipley.

The Infant Development Program serves families with children from newborn to

age three and works with families to develop strategies to encourage development within a family’s everyday routines and activities.

If you or someone you know has questions, please contact Shipley at 604-946-6622, ext. 303, email: leoras@reachchild.org or visit www. reachchild.org to make a referral.

that will be part of the 125th year celebration.

Submissions are welcomed via email: mayqueen@ladnermaydays. com right up until a week before the virtual fair.

“It’s been kind of amazing so far with lots of people having reached out to us,” added Coghill.

“We have someone in her 80s who was a May Queen or a princess and

from the 100th anniversary as well. It’s basically anything from their time and they have stories to tell too of how it was done back then.”

Coghill added there have been additional submissions, such as photos from the May Days Parade back in the 1940s and 1950s. All is welcomed and will presented via slide shows.

Father and son doctors: David Kason shares a moment with his son Jason while at the Richmond Hospital Birth Centre. Jason continues his father’s legacy at the Ladner Family Practice Clinic.

I got into med school,” she laughed.

Kason’s early days included being part of a local ambulance operation in a converted Cadillac station wagon to attend car accidents at a time when BC Ambulance didn’t serve South Delta. There were a few interesting house calls too.

“There were a group of people who lived on the eastside of Ladner before 64th Street was developed and it may have been like squatter houses,” he recalled. “I had a pit lamp I would stick in my (car cigarette) lighter as it was hard to find these places at night.

You would go across a wooden bridge over a ditch and inside the house there be a wooden stove in one corner of the house and kids with colds in the other.

It was quite the experience.”

He was asked for his input in the development of Delta Hospital that began as an

extended care facility before evolving into much more.

Kason was behind the development of the Harvest Drive Medical Building where he moved his practice to in 1986.

He eventually welcomed his son Jason who continues his father’s legacy.

“He is the reason why I went into medicine. Just seeing what he did and the enjoyment he got out of his job,” said Jason.

“He’s also instrumental of why I went into family medicine.

He was the leading reason I do obstetrical care because he had so much fun doing it as a family doctor. That was one thing he pressed upon me was to make it part of my practice and it’s been one of the highlights of my medical career.

“He has had the enjoyment where he has delivered someone then 25 years later he delivers their kid.”

Kason said his son could

work with him but it would only be under one condition.

“I said well you come out here but you have to write me a cheque and buy me out of this place. You be my boss because I don’t want to be your boss. It’s worked out very well,” he said.

Kason added his retirement has been an adjustment if you can call it that.

He has offered his services for the COVID-19 vaccine roll out, is teaching classes to UBC students via Zoom, as well as doctors in Fraser Health on palliative career.

Post-pandemic, his work in aviation and marine medicine will resume.

Still it’s all out of his Ladner “comfort zone.”

“It’s been such a privilege to look after these people and I am so grateful to them and sharing their lives. I know it sounds hokey but it’s the truth,” Kason added.

It’s almost Easter and time for us to reflect on the cross. The cross that Jesus died on is the most foundational, irreducible essence of our faith.

Many don’t fully understand the cross.

I’ll try to explain it this way. God is Holy. He will have absolutely nothing to do with sin.

Since holiness and sin are completely opposed to each other, God and sin cannot hang out together.

That also means, since sin is a part of who we are, God cannot hang out with us.

But God desires to be in relationship with us.

So God, out of His great love, created a way for you and me—in spite of our sin—to enter His presence. That way is through the cross.

21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become

We know it is historically recorded that he was whipped with the cat o’ nine tails. The crown of thorns dug deeply into His skull.

The nails pierced His hands and feet. All extremely painful, but nothing can compare with that moment when He looked up to heaven and groaned, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” At that moment, Jesus became sin. Separating Himself from His Father.

As the sin of the whole world shot through His body, God the Father turned His back on His Son. God had no choice but to look away. Jesus endured the rejection that should have been ours. He endured it to provide a way for our salvation. There is only one Name under heaven through whom we must be saved — that is the name of Jesus Christ.

There are more than seven billion people currently populating earth and that number is only comprised of a fraction of the people who have lived since the beginning of time. When Jesus hung on the cross, all of the sins of the world fell upon Him. Now that moment is far worse than you can imagine!

Paramedics rely on “Star Wars” outfit to keep safe amid the COVID pandemic MARK BOOTH

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

Kin Leung says he looks more like a character from Star Wars these days, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, while attending to emergency calls.

Since he works in what is considered a high-risk area, the 14-year veteran with BC Emergency Health Services has already received both his COVID19 shots, but that doesn’t mean he no longer has to wear a respirator and other PPE (personal protection equipment) from head-to-toe. It’s been that way for BCEHS paramedics since the pandemic started last March.

“You look like Darth Vader with the respirator and the PPE on,” chuckled Leung who has been working out of the Ladner ambulance station the past two years. “Really the only thing (patients) see is your eyes. It is quite uncomfortable, but necessary for us to wear. We need to be safe.”

The Star Wars comparison is about the only humour in what has been a challenging year for paramedics as they keep pace with emergency calls amid the pandemic. Basic steps that seemed rather simple before are now much more of an effort.

“It’s been a handful,” Leung said.

“We have had to make significant changes to patient delivery by adapting to the pandemic.

“For example, communication with the patient is a big one for us. If we go to a call we have to wear a respirator.

It’s a big challenge, especially if the patient has a difficult time understanding you, or is hard of hearing. Mostly, we do yell louder than usual and you will notice paramedics have hoarse voices now. We usually bring a pen and paper and if we have a difficult time communicating or even a lap top to type on.”

Paying attention to detail is now more important than ever according to Leung. Each emergency call not only represents a different patient situation, but environment too, not knowing how safe it is from potentially picking up the virus.

“With PPE, you have to prepare everything before you go into patients’ homes and look out for your partner too if they are putting on their stuff properly,” he added.

“That one day you let your guard down or get lazy and slack off, that’s when you will catch it. You have to be vigilant on every call.”

Delta Police needed to hit the ground running to deal with COVID pandemic MARK BOOTH

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

It’s been a sprint for Delta Police since the COVID-19 pandemic struck a year ago and the department is hoping to see some kind of finish line in the months ahead.

While public buildings, businesses and organizations were able to pause and make adjustments, including temporary closures, mandatory mask requirements and limited occupancy, there is no such luxury as a first responder.

Insp. Kim Campbell is part of DPD’s human resources team that has had the dubious task of preparing officers and staff for an unprecedented world-wide crisis.

“Although we are prepared for any type of emergency that occurs within our community, this pandemic, virus and the transmissibility of it was something we really had to build on the fly because we were always open and never shut down,” said Campbell.

“We have a very small human resource team here and when we pressed the emergency button saying, okay we are into this on March 11, we really came together as a team and worked around

the clock to really make sure we didn’t miss a step.

“The expectation of the public and the expectation of our officers is when our people call us and they are in need we have to be able to respond. We have to be able to respond faithfully, not only to protect the front line, but protect our members and protect the community, which we serve.”

Campbell is proud of how the department handled what she describes as “drinking from a firehose” of information during the early days of the pandemic whether it be through emails, info graphs or material given out at shift meetings.

“It really was overwhelming the amount of information they were given at the time,” she added. “We needed to provide top notch tips and equipment to do their jobs.”

Campbell also noted this was happening as the pandemic was also greatly impacting the personal lives of officers, whether it was having children and understanding what was happening within their schools or living in a multi-generational household. In some instances it has even meant isolating from family members to continue working.

Delta Hospital has relied on a team effort to navigate through COVID MARK BOOTH

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

It’s arguably been the greatest challenge in its 41-year-old history and it’s taken a “team effort” to get Delta Hospital through it.

According to Delta Hospital executive director Cathy Wiebe the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic provided plenty of uncertainty and questions.

“It has been hard on them, but they have shown such resiliency in regards to this. It was very scary at the beginning because we didn’t know very much. Is it airborne or is it not airborne?” said Wiebe. “We all recall those conversations at the beginning of last March and April.

“It was just getting all our ducks in a row in regards to keeping everyone safe and preventing us from transmitting it to our homes. Some of our staff really struggled with it. They were really worried about bringing it home to their little ones, or their spouses or elderly parents.

“What I was most impressed with is how it brought us all together and that includes our physicians. They really came together and were engaged

in keeping us all safe and asking key questions of how we can help and support each other. We did lots of huddles with the staff and coming together as a team. Really it was all about infection, prevent and control. That’s the name of the game when you have this kind of virus.”

The hospital was hit with a significant outbreak in the medicine unit back in September that lasted about 40 days. It resulted in 26 staff and 19 patient cases as well as seven deaths.

“We lost some patients and one staff member got very ill,” continued Wiebe.

“That was the hardest thing as a leader.

Not only seeing patients pass away, but seeing your staff get really sick.

“We were thankful of the government and all the initiatives they put forward at that time. Hotels cut their rates to house our staff so they didn’t need to go home. Some staff did take us up on the invitation.”

The outbreak did result in every incoming patient from other hospitals being tested in case they might be an asymptomatic spreader of the virus.

That procedure is now being done throughout Fraser Health as new variants threaten a potential third wave in B.C.

Delta is fortunate to have its own Delta Police and Delta Fire & Emergency Services. Together with BC Ambulance Service, all of us in Delta are extremely well served by all of our First Responders.

Thank you, on behalf of all of us at Century Group. congratulations

The fine line of continuing to provide emergency services for the city while ensuring it is done in a safe environment for all involved. That’s what the Delta Fire Department has accomplished over the past year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“With the support from Delta’s Human Resources, and assistance from Delta’s Occupational Health specialist, our department has excelled in so many ways in response to this pandemic. The City of Delta has taken this challenge head on and supported our firefighters wherever needed to continue to perform their day to day operations,” explained deputy Fire Chief Brad Wilson.

The department needed to hit the ground running during the early days of the pandemic. Delta Fire developed a COVID-19 Task Force Committee, comprised of deputy chiefs, Local 1763 executive members, as well delegates from the Occupation Health & Wellness Committee, Emergency Medical Responder instructors, and its training office.

“Through this committee we have

been able to navigate our way by developing policies and procedures for our members to follow and combat all the challenges COVID-19 has posed to date,” continued Wilson. “‘Our ‘Boots on the Ground’ have taken direction from this committee and we are proud to say that we have prevented the spread of the virus from within our organization, and prevented patient transmission of the virus to our firefighters. Consequently, our apparatus have remained fully staffed with healthy firefighters ready to answer the next call.”

“Procuring the necessary PPE for the safety of our responding firefighters was a challenge at the start of the pandemic.

Our members work in a family type setting, yet share their ‘work home’ with three other shifts. Keeping the fire halls safe for our firefighters meant developing decontamination and thorough cleaning protocols that changed the way our members live at work and how they negotiate their regular duties. At the same time, it is very important to realize the extra stresses this pandemic has put on our team. I am so proud of our firefighters for staying the course and continuing to do what they do best in keeping Delta safe.”

Walk your own way in support of people affected by dementia

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is encouraging residents to register in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. The online fundraiser takes place throughout May. The 2021 event will be a “Walk your own way” initiative, meaning that anyone anywhere in the province can take part.

“This past year has been full of unprecedented challenges, particularly for people living with dementia and their care partners,” said Barbara Lindsay, interim CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Fundraisers like the Walk help enable the Society to continue providing support and resources, which are needed more than ever.”

Getting involved is easy.

Throughout May area residents can set themselves a challenge – like walking, running or dancing – while fundraising to support people living with the disease and their care partners.

Participants are encouraged to get creative and do what works for them – and ensure their plans to participate adhere to current provincial health

guidelines.

An online celebration on Sunday, May 30 will end the month of activity.

“As well as raising funds, participants also help raise critical awareness of the impact of dementia in their community. While the 2021 event is different than in past years, it continues to be a way to celebrate and remember people in our lives who have been affected by dementia,” added Lindsay.

In past, the Walk typically took place in-person in more than 20 communities across the province.

Funds raised during the event help fund the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s online programs, education and services for people in communities across the province. People who support the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s today will double their impact, as a generous supporter has committed $35,000 to match all donations made between now and April 11.

$2 million dollar clubhouse planned for Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club 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

Delta council has approved a recommendation to award a contract for an architectural firm to complete a detailed design for a new Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club clubhouse.

The contract is for $117,892.

In the summer of 2019, the city awarded a $32,700 contract to the same architectural firm for the preliminary and schematic design.

The total design and construction costs for the clubhouse are estimated to be $2 million.

The project stems from a triparty memorandum of understanding between the KinVillage Association, the Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club and the City of Delta.

The lawn bowling club currently has a clubhouse at KinVillage in an area called North Court.

KinVillage was not willing to enter into a long-term lease with the club and notified the club the North Court building might be redeveloped.

Council last year received a report on an alternate location for the lawn bowling green and clubhouse and approved in principle

relocating the facility to the northeast corner of Winskill Park, also adding a parking lot and a replacement soccer field.

Staff also met with representatives of various sports organizations and, according to a report to council, the stakeholders were supportive of the plan.

The new location provides better access, increases parking and provides for a replacement soccer field where the bowling green currently exists, the report notes, adding the project will maximize the use of that entire corner of the park.

New - Lifeline Unit That Can Be Used Out In The Community

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....

its pickeball courts.

That’s according to a recent memo from parks director Ken Kuntz to the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission that noted the city currently has 19 dedicated courts and 22 courts that are shared with tennis users.

Kuntz said with every new or rapidly growing sport, there are always lessons to be learned, and currently several organizations want to secure dedicated time at those Delta facilities.

The Delta Pickleball Association is currently the largest single group utilizing these facilities, but last December the commission agreed that no more than 50 per cent

of all available court time would be allocated to book for group activities.

That leaves the other 50 per cent available court time for drop-in public use.

“Staff have received emails from the public who are not part of an organized pickleball club asking that more time be allocated to ‘drop-in’ play.

Recent Provincial Health Officer Orders limit pickleball to singles play only unless the players are from the same household in which doubles play is allowed.

To improve information on allocations, use rules and game etiquette, staff have initiated the installation of additional sig-

nage…” he explained.

In addition, seasonal allocated times will be posted on-site in a simple graphical format, noted Kuntz, adding that a third feature to help organize drop-in play is the installation of a paddle rack.

When a person arrives on-site and courts are full, a player can indicate the order in which they arrived by placing their paddle in the rack, he explained.

“These small improvements will assist all pickleball players and ensure there is a balance between drop-in and prior allocated use, while making sure the infrastructure is used to its greatest potential,” Kuntz added.

Chasing his baseball dream for Kyle

California-bound Nate Rosser gets his motivation from his friend who passed away in 2018 MARK BOOTH

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

Nate Rosser is heading to one of the top junior college baseball programs in California and he credits his close friend for providing the motivation to get him there.

The Tsawwassen pitcher has committed to Ohlone Junior College in Fremont where the plan is to continue his promising development and eventually transfer to a NCAA Division One program. The 6-foot-4 right-hander currently plays for the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s North Delta Blue Jays after coming through the Delta Tigers and Tsawwassen Amateur Baseball programs.

“The biggest thing for me was going to a school that was in a good area and can develop me well and move me onto a four-year school,” said the Grade 12 South Delta Secondary student. “They are the No. 1 school in California. Their coach has a reputation for developing players. I also want to play professional baseball and he has a lot connections for that too.”

Pushing Rosser along the way has been Kyle Losse, his close friend who tragically passed away from complications of a stroke back in January 2018 at the age of 14.

The pair shared the same passion for the game and were nearly inseparable after being teammates for the first time at the Mosquito Division age.

“We were very similar in that we were tall and athletic. I was always just a little bit better but he was also a year younger than me. It was amazing,” smiled Rosser.

“We would just got to the park and hit for three hours or we would throw. We probably spent 90 percent of our time together for a couple of summers anyways. There were lots of sleepovers too.”

Rosser was on holidays celebrating his 15h birthday with his family when he learned Losse had passed away.

“When it first happened I didn’t believe it. It took a while for it set in. It was hard. Most people didn’t know him as well as I did,” he continued while

standing on Field #14 at Winskill Park that is now named and numbered after Losse. “We probably played 100 games on this field together. He would be on my team right now. I know it. It’s still hard to think he is not here playing with me. Everything I do in baseball now I always think about him.”

Rosser had Losse’s initials and number embroidered on his glove. He will also be adding a second tattoo soon in memory of his friend. The family presented him with Kyle’s favourite bat and Rosser helped design the MVP glove for the inaugural Kyle Losse Memorial Tournament, held back in 2018 at Winskill.

He knows his friend would have been excited for the next chapter of his career.

“Nate all your hard work has paid off, we are looking forward to seeing you on the field at Ohlone College,” said Kyle’s parents Niki and Brian Losse. “We are honored that Kyle continues to be an inspiration to you and are so proud of your accomplishments. It’s always been our goal to inspire future athletes to continue to chase their dreams to the fullest – just like Kyle would have.”

The opportunity at Ohlone came after Rosser headed east last fall amid the pandemic to pitch for the Mississauga-based Ontario Blue Jays that participated at the World Wood Bat Championships in Florida. He has also made steady progress since working with pitching coach Eric Ruben, whom he met a couple of years ago at Big League Experience Camp.

“He has changed everything for me.

My fastball jumped like 8-mph in velocity,” Rosser added. “My mechanics were a mess because I didn’t know how to use my body properly. He has helped a lot with that and everything I do now is working out is to help my pitching. I pretty well stick to the fastball, curve and change-up. At the end of the day they are my three best pitches.”

He hopes to showcase his repertoire back on the mound for North Delta this spring when provincial health COVID-19 restrictions are eased enough for games to be played.

HANSEN, Jan V. December 20, 1960 − March 14, 2021 Sadly, on March 14, 2021, Jan Villy Hansen passed away at the age of 60, after a hard−fought battle with cancer. He was lovingly surrounded by his family. Jan was born on December 20, 1960, in Vancouver to his Danish parents, Kirsten and Svend Hansen. At a young age Jan, his parents, and his younger sister, Connie, moved to the 108 Ranch where his love of nature and the outdoors began. He loved dirt biking, camping and fishing and was always up for an adventure. Jan had a creative mind, which inspired him to learn how to play the clarinet and guitar, he was a gifted "cartoon artist", and excelled at anything he put his mind to. Jan spent time in Penticton and Edmonton after high school and then went back to the Cariboo where he continued his trade as a carpenter working alongside his dad. They were well respected in the area for being hardworking, honest, and meticulous. After a few years, Jan decided to move to Ladner where he could be close to his sister, Connie and her family. Jan then started working for the movie industry, building and creating sets, and soon he was the lead carpenter and was well−liked and respected for his work. Jan had a curious nature and always wanted to know what was around the next corner. Jan was lucky to have a large extended family and he loved being part of it, whether it was camping at Eagan lake or a simple get−together. He also enjoyed photography, cooking, watching hockey, and going out for walks with his family. Jan is predeceased by his mother, Kirsten, and is survived by his 90−year− old father, Svend; his sister, Connie (Don); and his nieces, Cassidi and Kylie. A big thank you to the Fraser health home care nurses. Donations graciously accepted at Nature Conservancy Canada.

We are saddened to announce the unexpected passing of John on Saturday, March 6, 2021 at the age of 87 years. He was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, went to work at United Cycle in Edmonton as a young man, he travelled throughout Western Canada as a salesman before settling his young family in Calgary, where he launched and operated Sun Cycle and Sporting Goods. Upon retirement, he enjoyed travelling extensively.

Though he relocated to the West Coast - first Tsawwassen, then Nanaimo - he never gave up on his beloved Edmonton Eskimos! Even in retirement, he threw up his garage door in Tsawwassen as Sun Cycle, keeping neighbourhood children and adults safely cycling in style!

John loved to make people laugh - or groan - with a terrible dad-joke or pun. He enjoyed his travels, regaling people of his adventures to New Zealand where he had extended family. He held a special place in his heart for his many friends and valued each moment spent with them. He loved morning crossword puzzles with a cup of coffee, old movies with a cold Hoegaarden, and finding a different route to all his favorite grocery stores (but never, ever, took the highway). He was a simple man who enjoyed simple pleasures.

John was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Jean and his siblings, Florence and Joyce. He is survived by his 4 children Debbi, Dawn, Dave, and Diane; 10 grandchildren, Cameron, Braedon, Keltie, Crystal, Ashley, Travis, Rebecca, Hanna, Connor, and Mary; and 3 great grandchildren, Sofia, Frances, and George. He was especially “bust-outthe-seams” proud of his grandchildren, each with their unique talents and accomplishments and he was so excited welcoming his great-grandbabies.

There will not be a formal memorial at this time.

Instead, take a moment, think of John and smile at your favorite “John-ism”!

Celebrate the lives of loved ones with your stories, photographs and tributes
