Summer Report from our Delta MP

Hon. Carla Qualtrough

Minister of Employment, Workforce Development, and Disability Inclusion

I was very proud to attend the Tokyo Olympics on behalf of the Government of Canada. Even more exciting and special – I got to see all 7 of our Delta Olympians compete! After such a trying year, it was amazing to see your resilience and strength shine through. Your community and your country are so proud!

Now on to the Paralympics starting August 24th! $10 a Day Childcare

The Economy is Recovering!

Every child deserves a fair start, but many parents, particularly women, continue to struggle to afford safe childcare for their kids.

The Canada-wide early learning and childcare system announced in Budget 2021, and signed by several Provinces including BC, will achieve an average parent fee of $10 per day for all regulated child-care spaces for children under 6 in the province.

The Canadian economy added 230,000 jobs in June and 94,000 jobs in July. This brings us within 246,100 of our target of 1 million jobsrestoring employment to previous levels. Our plan is working, but there is still more to do. .

This will allow families to provide their kids with high quality programming and services without having to compromise their careers.

Vaccine Update T date, 51 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine To have been administered. More than 82% of eligible Canadians have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and ~71% of those eligible are fully vaccinated, making Canada a world leader in COVID-19 vaccinations! We will continue to bring in millions of vaccines, and by umme all Canadians who want the end of the summer, to be fully vaccinated will have received a vaccine.

The Government of Canada through COVAX (COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility), has also committed $220 million to purchase doses for low and middle income countries.

No one is safe until we are all safe!

BREAKING NEWS! Canada has just signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Moderna to build a mRNA vaccine facility in Canada!

JOIN US this Saturday at 11 am, for the grand opening of the North Delta Track!

The federal government is contributing over 3 million dollars to this project that will benefit Delta families for generations to come.

Thank you to Mayor George Harvie and BC MLA Ravi Kahlon for your leadership and collaboration so that we could make this project a reality!

The New Canada Disability Benefit In June I was proud to introduce legislation to create a monthly income supplement for low-income, working-age Canadians with disabilities. This will lift hundreds of thousands of Canadians with disabilities out of poverty, and be a foundational program within our Disability Inclusion Action Plan.

Critical Improvements to Long-term Care The tragedies in Canada’s long-term care sector during the pandemic highlighted significant gaps that must be met with action by all governments and those working on behalf of seniors.

The Government of Canada is committed to working together in partnership with provinces and territories to improve seniors’ quality of life.

We are working to reach agreements on the $1 billion Safe Long-term Care Funding and our Budget 2021 investment of $3 billion to ensure standards for long-term care are applied and permanent changes are made.

PaidparkingcomingtoCentennialBeach?

Metro Vancouver is seeking feedback on a proposed pay-to-reserve parking system at Boundary Bay Regional Park, starting in the 2022 peak season, to improve traffic and congestion.

The Centennial Beach location has seen a significant jump in park users, from 923,000 visitors in 2019 to nearly 1.4 million in 2020- a 40 per cent increase. Over 400,000 people came to the park in July and August 2020 alone.

An online survey through the Metro Vancouver website is now active until Aug. 25. It can also be done in person on Sunday. The survey offers a wide range of questions from number of annual park visits to parking rate suggestions.

“We just want to get as much public feedback as we can. We know some people won’t be happy about this, but we really found this is the best way to manage traffic as well as to give everybody a better park experience,” said Metro Regional Parks Chair John McEwen. “Those funds are going back into the parks and it’s really directly related to we

Last year, Metro introduced a free weekend shuttle service from the South Delta Recreation Centre to help ease traffic issues around the park.

A Boundary Bay permit parking program was also initiated by the City of Delta for nearby residents.

launched paid parking at its Belcarra and Lynn Waters parks last spring, but the Boundary Bay proposal would be different after consulting with Delta Mayor George Harvie, who also sits on the Metro Parks committee.

An estimated 30 per cent of the parking stalls would be available for online reservation while the rest would

remain free to the public.

“It is a bit of hybrid, and that was with the direction of Mayor Harvie to allow free [parking] as well as to be able to reserve,” continued McEwen. “We would also have the free shuttle service and public transit [as other options]. As a region, we are looking at ways to make sure more people can come, and

they are not frustrated when they come a large distance.

It could also distribute some people to the different regional parks that aren’t so busy.

“Traffic out your way is a big, big issue and I know the City of Delta is really concerned about it. They want us to take in this engagement process to see what the people of Delta are going to be comfortable with. It really is causing an incredible challenge for the residents in the area that are fortunate to live there and be able to walk to the park but they didn’t sign on to have congestion and not able to get out of their houses.”

Metro is charging $2 per hour for parking at Belcarra and Lynn Waters.

“Pay parking is only in effect during the busy times of the year but those are now stretching from six months to nine months and we really don’t know where it’s going to go,” McEwen added. “There was a bit of angst in regards to [paid parking] at Seymour and Belcarra, but what we are seeing now is bigger turnover of park visitors. People are making better plans whether it’s commuting together as a bigger group in one vehicle or taking transit.”

Representatives from ICBC, MADD Canada, and Delta Police gathered to discuss the danger and consequences of impaired driving after unveiling their smashed car display out front of the Delta Public Safety Building in North Delta last Thursday.

MADDandDeltaPoliceteamupto deliverimpaireddrivingmessage DANI PENALOZA

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

Parked on the lawn just east of the Delta Public Safety Building in North Delta is a red car with a boldened message written across the side of it – “Don’t drive impaired.”

The sobering sight is visible while driving along 84th Ave., where the noticeably battered front end, the smashed windshield, and a dangling side mirror illustrate the very-real consequences of driving under the influence.

As a collaboration between MADD Metro Vancouver, the Delta Police, ICBC, Roadway Towing and the City of Delta, the

display’s goal is to remind everyone just how important it is to stay sober behind the wheel.

“With 40 per cent of all impaired driving related deaths in B.C. happening in the summer months, we’re urging everyone to plan ahead when it comes to consuming alcohol.

Think about how you’re getting home and have a plan in place to get home safely,” said Leanne Cassap, ICBC’s road safety and community coordinator, at the unveiling last Thursday.

Every year in B.C., an average of 67 people are killed in impaired driving related accidents, she said.

Within Delta, from January to date, DPD have removed 282

impaired drivers from the road, reported Insp. Kim Campbell, who leads the traffic unit at the DPD. Campbell voiced her concern for what could have happened if those impaired drivers hadn’t been caught or found by officers.

“They’re all lucky because they get to go home to their family and loved ones. They haven’t destroyed another family’s life, and they don’t have to live with the repercussions of killing an innocent person,” said Campbell. “Police in Delta and across this province remain dedicated to keeping impaired drivers off our roadways.”

manager, Charlie Grahn, emphasized how it’s not just young people who need to heed this message.

“On the part of older folks – people in their 40s and 50s who maybe have a long experience with drugs or alcohol – they feel they somehow have supernatural abilities that allow them to command a 3,000 pound vehicle at 80 km/h, and to do so safely under the effects of drugs or alcohol,” he said.

But unsurprisingly, they don’t.

In Delta, if you suspect somebody may be driving under the influence, you can call their non-emergency line at 604-9464411, or call 9-1-1.

also served as cooling centres where residents could get relief from the heat Fraser Health noted a heat warning was issued by Environment Canada which advised of increasing temperatures from Thursday Aug. 12 through to Sunday Aug. 15.

Medical Health Officers for both Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health are again urging residents to take precautions to protect themselves and those who are vulnerable from the health risks associated with sustained high temperatures.

“While forecast temperatures are not anticipated to reach the heat alert levels recorded

during the extreme heat event in June, public health urges people to prepare for the weather ahead and to take measures to stay safe,” the FHA notes.

“Based on previous heat events, the anticipated temperatures are proven to cause negative health outcomes among Lower Mainland residents who may not be acclimatized to temperatures in this range and may not have ready access to adaptations, such as air conditioning.

“Heat stress can pose an immediate danger to health. Symptoms of heat-related illness can include thirst, dizziness, confusion, weakness and fainting or collapsing, including loss of consciousness.”

And we understand. Leaving your home for a retirement residence is a big deal. But might you be ready to spend more time doing what you love?

Imagine leaving the cooking to someone else, or not having to clean your place or do yard work. You’d have more time to pursue your favourite hobbies, go for walks with friends, or take classes. You’d have time to enjoy every single day doing what you love.

So... are you sure you’re not ready yet?

A Delta man found dead in an east Richmond ditch on Saturday may have been involved in the Lower Mainland gang conflict, according to homicide investigators.

In a news release on Tuesday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) identified the man as Christopher Singh and confirmed he was the victim of a targeted shooting.

While Singh did not have a criminal record, he was known to police and had “suspected involvement in the Lower Mainland gang conflict,” according to IHIT spokesperson Sgt. David Lee. “This incident is confirmed to be a targeted shooting and does not appear to be a random act,” said Lee. Singh was found unresponsive in a ditch, one

kilometre east of 17100 Cambie Road, near No. 8 Road, around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

“This incident is confirmed to be a targeted shooting and does not appear to be a random act,” said Lee. Singh was found unresponsive in a ditch, one kilometre east of 17100 Cambie Road, near No. 8 Road, around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Richmond RCMP determined he was the victim of a homicide and called in IHIT. Lee said investigators are looking to speak with anyone with information about Singh.

“A timeline for Mr. Singh’s activities is being established. We are asking anyone who may have had contact with Mr. Singh, to come forward.”

Convicted double murderer has his day parole extended IAN JACQUES

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

Derik Lord has been granted another sixmonth extension of his day parole.

In a recent ruling by the Parole Board of Canada, Lord, who was convicted in a grisly double murder in Tsawwassen three decades ago, was granted the extension, with the board noting that imposing conditions helps manage a potential risk to the public.

“The board is aware that limiting your leave is an infringement on your liberty, but when putting this in the context of our paramount concern; the protection of society, we find that managing your risk requires more time with the structure and close supervision of a halfway house given the extreme violence you are capable of and your lack of insight into the internal

factors that led to that violence,” wrote the Parole Board of Canada in its decision.

The board imposed several conditions including: Lord must not associate with any person he knows or may have reason to believe is involved with criminal activity and or substance misuse; no direct or indirect contact with the victim or any member of the deceased victims’ families, including extended family members and the Crown witnesses; and not to travel to Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland of B.C. “You planned and committed murder with others and your file indicated that you are vulnerable to the influences of others engaged in crime and substance misuse,” wrote the board.

“Any time spent with others involved in crime or substance misuse will

increase your risk and you must stay away.”

The 47-year-old Lord was granted an extension in January of this year.

That came after a parole board review in March, 2020 where he was granted parole for a fourmonth period.

Another review was conducted in early July of last year where he was granted a further extension at that time.

Lord was one of three teenagers convicted in the 1990 double murder case.

He still maintains his innocence to this day.

Lord and David Muir were hired by Darren Huenemann to kill Huenemann’s mother and grandmother, Sharon Huenemann and Doris Leatherbarrow, in a murder-for-hire plot.

The two were promised part of a $4-million inheritance All three were convicted in 1992.

Lessons have been learned and steps are being taken to help deal with similar situations if they arise in the future.

That’s what Mayor George Harvie told council in a prepared statement during council’s debate Monday on a motion by Coun. Lois Jackson seeking more information on an expenditure by Delta Police for a public relations firm.

The firm was retained to handle the fallout from an incident last summer involving Chief Neil Dubord’s wife Lorraine, which has since been resolved.

Saying she’s supportive of the police department, but that the expenditure behind closed doors of around $43,000 to deal with a matter involving a private citizen was an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars, Jackson’s motion was defeated with no other members of council giving support.

Harvie, saying that no fault was found in the DPD investigation into the Dubord matter, in his lengthy statement, as mayor and

not on behalf of the police board he chairs, noted Jackson’s motion was flawed.

Saying the city has no authority to direct police management or the police board, Harvie said the motion politicizes a matter which has been cleared and closed following several independent reviews of the DPD investigation.

The Office of the Police Compliant Commissioner directed the board to develop a policy regarding potential conflict of interests and the board has developed a policy, which has been approved by the commissioner, said Harvie, adding Delta is the first independent police department and board in B.C. to put such a requirement in place.

Harvie said while the investigation is now closed, a special meeting of the Police Board has been arranged to conduct a case review to see whether any procedure changes can be made for the board and executive.

Harvie also reminded council that while the expenditure did meet the rules, it did not meet the high standards of council, which

is why earlier this year council was asked to adopt a motion to have all city communications’ contracts brought forward for discussion and approval.

The Police Board’s finance committee has met with the city’s finance director on the subject and a recommendation is being developed for the board’s consideration as well, he said.

A meeting will also be arranged between the board and city council.

Jackson’s motion also called for the DPD management team to provide a full report on the number of police officers who have left the department.

Coun. Dylan Kruger said the recruitment challenge for DPD is in no way connected and that other departments are also facing challenges, due in part to Surrey’s new police force aggressively recruiting for members.

Harvie said a meeting is being arranged with other police boards to discuss the recruitment issue and that a request will be coming for the Justice Institute of British Columbia to train more candidates.

KinVillagetakesanotherstep in rental apartment project DANI PENALOZA

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

The proposed four-to-six storey, rental apartment building for KinVillage would definitely address a community need for senior-accessible housing.

Those were some of the sentiments stated by councillors as Delta council gave first and second reading to the proposed project at its July 26th meeting.

A public hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 9.

“I’m just very, very thrilled to see this finally coming into council,” remarked Coun. Dylan Kruger. “I think it’s an outstanding project, a much-needed project for senior housing.”

And as future heatwaves loom in the future, council members emphasized how these apartments – should the project go through – must be built to accommodate comfortable living during the rising summer temperatures.

“I think we should be building for the future … I think we really have to be looking for spaces for the seniors of tomorrow, and what they’re going to be facing in these rooms,” added Coun.

Lois Jackson.

She asked staff whether air condi-

tioning and openable windows were planned for the 152 units.

As staff did not have an answer to Jackson’s questions, Mayor George Harvie asked the applicant to submit a written statement providing these answers to council in advance of the public hearing.

Council and staff also discussed outdoor balconies, and how the proposed common outdoor balconies would be in place of individual balconies off each unit.

The project’s proposed site currently contains KinVillage’s North Court building with 86 seniors’ rental units, and if completed, the residents of the existing building would be relocated to the new one and the old building would be removed.

“There would be three rent classifications for the development: rentgeared-to-income (50 per cent of units), affordable market rentals (30 per cent of units) and deep subsidy rentals (20 per cent of units),” reads the Delta staff report.

The project is being funded through B.C. Housing’s Community Housing Fund, which would provide a one-time capital grant and ongoing operating funds, if needed, for up to 60 years.

Editor’s Note

A

IAN JACQUES

couple of items caught my eye in a recent South Delta Crime Beat report – and not for a good reason.

The two items in question were both instances of dogs left in vehicles – one at Canoe Pass Way, which would be at either the Tsawwassen Commons or Mills malls, and the other was on Westham Island Road.

The mall incident saw a dog locked in a vehicle, the rear window was down four inches, air temp cool and good air flow in/out of the vehicle, according to Delta Police, but it did prompt a police response after a call from a member of the public, and rightly so. The driver, upon his return, was spoken to by police of the dangers of leaving animals in vehicles during hot weather, which I hope was well-received and the owner learned his lesson.

With the incident on Westham Island, a concerned member of the public called police about a dog left in a vehicle in a parking lot. When police arrived, the driver had left, but police managed to catch-up to her speaking with the owner on the phone. The owner thought it was no big deal and the dog was fine with the windows down in 24-plus degree heat.

I’m struggling to comprehend why we are still having issues with owners leaving their dogs in vehicles in the hot, summer heat and thinking that it is okay?

Every summer we hear stories and reports in our community and other communities of dogs left in vehicles, many of which end up with police or firefighters busting open a car window to free the dog from the agony of heat exhaustion.

Neither of these two incidents described above went to that extreme, but what if concerned members of the public hadn’t called police to alert them?

The end result could have been dire.

If you are a responsible dog owner and care about your dog, then stop leaving them in a hot car to bake in the heat while running errands. Leave your dog at home.

Olympics ruined 2 weeks of my summer

T

hree weeks ago, if you had mentioned the Olympics, I would have said, ‘What?’

It seems there’s usually little build-up to the Olympic Games, especially this time.

The only reason it seemed to be in the news was because of the effect Covid might have on it. The occasional story about athletes getting on a plane or preparing for the games, but nothing that really gets anyone excited.

The Opening Ceremonies are always a spectacle, but as soon as that’s over, what happens? I’ll tell you what happens, I become a slave to the TV, glued to every event, every competition, every medal. I don’t know what it is, I am an Olympics junkie. And I admit it.

At other times, I’d rather watch paint dry than rowing, swimming, water polo or diving. I’m not too interested in watching track or even soccer.

But put a Canadian flag on the uniform, and I’m glued to the screen. What makes it worse is when it’s on the other side of the world - I work all day, and stay up all night watching the competition. I haven’t slept for weeks.

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

This time was even worse!

There were at least 5 channels - Canadian channels - with coverage. There’s only so much room on my PVR, and one can only switch between 2 channels at a time.

Then there’s the daily replays that I recorded. There was no shortage of opportunity to see Canadians, and other elite athletes from around the world, give the performance of their lives in pursuit of a place on the podium.

Canadians walked away with 24 medals, finishing in 11th place. To put that in perspective, the US has 10 times the population, and won the most medals with 113. Look at any other country above us in the standings, we produced

more medals per capita, with the exception of Australia and the Netherlands. Gotta hand it to those Netherlandians, they really punched above their weight.

I have the honour of working with some exceptional athletes who will never make it past organized sports. The work they put in with the hopes of getting into a higher level is admirable. For someone to make the Olympic Games is completely different.

For them, it’s years of preparation and dedication for a short moment in time.

I saw an athlete post on social media, apologizing for not being on the podium, and it broke my heart. To make it to the Olympics, to wear the Canadian flag, to represent us with pride and honour in fair competition never requires an apology. You will forever be an Olympian.

And I will forever be glued to my TV, cheering you on.

More questions about Tilbury LNG Editor: Facts and questions that must be answered regarding the proposed expansion of the Tilbury LNG plant and a shipping jetty on the Fraser River in Delta before it should proceed.

Facts related to the siting of the Tilbury LNG plant and jetty came from a document called; Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Import Terminals: Siting, Safety, and Regulation U.S.A. 1. If the LNG spills into the water by accident or an act of terrorism, it will not immediately ignite, but it will form a vapor cloud that can drift some distance from the spill site until it encounters

an ignition source, creating a large LNG “Pool Fire”, that would, displace breathable air, causing asphyxiation and leak back to the spill site causing Immeasurable damage to property and loss of life.

2. Would it meet the U.S. National Fire Protection Association standards of site location and safety to the public recognized throughout the world?

3. LNG tankers and land based facilities like Tilbury LNG could be vulnerable to Terrorisim or “cyber-attacks” 4. Who would be in charge of assuring that such attacks would not occur and pay for the cost

of police and fire protection?

5. Is the Tilbury site on the Fraser River a suitable safe site for LNG tankers?

6. Should we not have a Hazard analyses done before proceeding with this expansion of the terminal and the building of the jetty?

The public needs to be assured that the siting of the Tilbury LNG plant and shipping jetty in Delta will not affect their safety, quality of life or loss of property values.

These safety concerns have to be met before any further investments are made by a taxpaying crown corporations.

architectural design and not the more modern box style of town homes that you see throughout Vancouver.

One of the reasons we were drawn to live in Ladner, is not only the fabulous many bike/ walking trails, the river, farms etc. but we love the small heritage village of Ladner.

We are pleased to see that so far, the City of Delta seems to want to keep the heritage look of the village.

Editor: It was lovely to recognize among our Delta competitors, Mark Pearson, the first recipient of our Spirit of B.C. awards offered to outstanding athletes training towards Olympic competition with Mark being the first in 2010 when Vancouver hosted the Winter Olympics.

This recognition became an annual tradition for our Kiwanis Club of South Delta to pres-

ent outstanding athletes who had been selected

by Carlene Lewall (Chair of the Spirit of B.C. committee in Delta) along with coaches and nominators of the athletes making recommendations to the committee chair of Kiwanis.

We had seen Mark compete in the Summer Olympics prior to this year’s event in Tokyo, but it was an additional pleasure to see his progress covered in the Delta

Optimist.

We follow our rewarded recipients of our awards in the Summer and Winter Olympics and it is a pleasure to recognize Mark Pearson (field hockey recipient 2010) and congratulate him on his ongoing progress.

In addition, congratulations to all Delta athletes who are participating in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

The village is the soul and hub of the area. As many small towns have been ruined with no consideration at all of the value of its historical buildings and instead have been built nothing but strip malls, I do hope that Delta’s city planner will always consider keeping the old buildings and building more in the historic style when improving and expanding the Ladner Village as Fort Langley has done.

City of Delta proceeding with calendar of community events

Social, recreational & celebratory events are on the horizon DANI PENALOZA

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

Get your pen and calendar ready because, starting this fall, Delta will be hosting a more generous lineup of community gatherings and events for the first time in a long time.

Council, during their July 26 meeting, discussed and endorsed the city’s proposed events calendar for the rest of this year and all of 2022.

The events calendar reflects long-standing and beloved events that were all cancelled in the past year and a half due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are some highlights of this year’s remaining calendar.

September will include the Terry Fox Run on the 19th.

In October, the Kinsmen Club of LadnerTsawwassen will be holding their classic Crab & Corn Fest and Delta residents can celebrate the spooky season with several different Halloween events.

November will bring

A busy fall of City of Delta hosted events includes the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 19 back Remembrance Day events, as well as the beginning of Christmas events like the Ladner Village Christmas Open House and the Ladner Business Association’s (LBA) Christmas Tree Festival.

December is full of events to spread holiday cheer, including the LBA’s Breakfast with Santa on the 4th and a Christmas concert on the 7th at the Ladner Community Centre.

“It’s certainly a much different list than we’ve seen in other years prior

“Delta’s events enrich the lives of residents by providing opportunities for the community to connect and celebrate together. These events contribute to social and economic wellbeing, provide valuable volunteer opportunities and build a sense of community, pride and spirit,” reads the Parks, Recreation & Culture department’s report to council.

The Optimist will have more details on these events as they start to come up on the calendar.

During the discussion, Kanakos asked Parks, Recreation & Culture to lay out future calendar lists in a way that makes it clearer where all these events are taking place, as she said it was important that there are cultural events going on equally within the three communities of Delta.

KinsmenClub–85yearsofhelpingSouthDelta Since 1936, club members have been ‘serving the community’s greatest need’ DANI PENALOZA

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

Remaining active through a World War, and now, a global pandemic definitely gives the Ladner-Tsawwassen Kinsmen Club some substantial bragging rights.

The club bloomed from the minds of young Ladner businessmen in 1935, who were looking to create an organization that would not only promote a sense of community among themselves, but also help out the community they were living in.

So, in March of 1936, the group signed on to join the Association of Kinsmen Clubs of Canada.

And with their ideas, skills and efforts put together, they began leading various fundraisers and initiatives to meet Kin Canada’s motto of “serving the community’s greatest need.”

“Our concern now is, how long are we able to keep going?” says Stuart Holmes, the Ladner-Tsawwassen Kinsmen Club’s secretary who joined in 2000.

In the 1950s and 60s, the local Kinsmen Club was at its peak with around 50 members, and currently, they sit at 10 members with most between 60 to 70-years-old.

Holmes worries that the

end of serving the community could be in sight if young people don’t get involved again, as the original model of Kin Clubs had them at the helm.

“We believe that [young people] are an important part going forward,” says Holmes.

“We’re all struggling, I think, with how to keep everything relevant.”

However, smaller numbers nor a global pandemic stopped them from holding their Crab and Corn Dinner fundraiser on Valentine’s Day this year, where the Kinsmen delivered 62 dinners throughout Ladner and Tsawwassen.

The Crab and Corn dinner tradition dates back to the 1970s, though originally Steak and Corn, and held the appeal of a social evening amongst friends as well as supporting local causes.

Since their creation, the Ladner-Tsawwassen Kinsmen Club puts their fundraising efforts and “manpower” into local organizations, events, projects and families in need of some extra help.

Whether that is in the form of funding, skills, supplies or a labour force, they have been here for the community and the community has been here for them for 85 years.

Over Holmes’ 20 years of being a Kinsmen, he says the club’s long-running success

“What I’ve also been impressed with here is the combined support that service clubs have had [amongst each other]. They’re not competitive … Everybody is so willing to help,” he adds.

A lot of trading labour back and forth has gone on between the clubs, explains Holmes.

“It’s realizing that if you’re helping each other, nobody is keeping count on ‘how much did you make?’ … It’s been that sort of thing that I’ve found to be impressive.”

The Kinettes Club of Ladner was formed in the 1950s, where wives of Kinsmen joined on to work in community initiatives, but they wound up disbanding in 1993.

Because the LadnerTsawwassen Kinsmen Club is currently only men, when Kin Canada switched over to calling mixed-gender clubs “Kin”

or “Kinsmen & Kinette” clubs in 1994, they kept their original name.

Despite what it may imply, Holmes assures that anybody and everybody is welcome to join them, and that they would be more than happy to adjust the club’s official name when the time comes.

Being part of service clubs not only offers an opportunity to bridge the “gap” between generations, but by having different ages within them, even more ideas, skills and knowledge can be put toward help-

ing the community, he says.

“Your age only identifies what you can do where there is physical work involved. But in terms of ideas, and looking at what is important, and what needs to be done and how we can do it, you need to use all the skills that are available,” says Holmes.

“No pressure, no diamonds,” quoted by Thomas Carlyle.

We all have had dreams of how we wanted our lives to go, but life is full of disappointments, and achievements, and with life comes pressure. How we handle the pressure moments determines whether we will thrive or quit just short of our destiny.

James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and welldeveloped, not deficient in any way.”

How we handle pressure defines us and influences our future. This pressure often comes from fear or from facing the unexpected. These moments are turning

This year

Minister’s Minute ANDREAS BASSON

LIFE CHURCH

points where we can either cower in unbelief or turn to God to develop the strength to overcome our fears. When we turn to God, we allow the pressure to turn us into a diamond.

Here are some common fears that I have found are at the root of the pressure we experience: Loneliness, powerlessness, rejection, being vulnerable, and the fear of death.

God wants us to turn to Him as our response to

these fears we are facing.

He wants us to navigate our lives from His perspective, rather than our own. This is the way we find joy and purpose in the face of stress-inducing pressure.

So how do we handle pressure in a spiritual way? We follow God’s instructions and pray.

Prayer is the believer’s way of giving heaven access to interfere with your life on earth. If Jesus felt the need to pray so should we. But it takes a humble heart and submissive spirit.

Know that God’s plan for you is good and know that you can trust Him. When we start building our life on the Bible, we are able to use the lessons we’ve learned in facing pressure and pain so that we can dream again and be excited about life.

So how do you handle pain and pressure? Decide to start praying and believing the Bible and before you know it you’ll have diamonds.

So why not invest in your quality of life?

Delta taking another look at building permit levy Heritage grant awarded for 1928 Anneville home SANDOR GYARMATI

sgy arma ti@de lta - o ptim ist .c o m

Changes have come to a city grant aimed at helping owners of heritage buildings complete renovations that preserve and protect their buildings’ heritage characteristics.

Council recently approved awarding a $5,473 Heritage Conservation Grant for the owner of the Nels Johnson Residence (Mackie Residence) at 10306 Main St. The money will cover half the cost of exterior painting of the home, which was built in 1928.

It’s the first time a grant was given out with new criteria to encourage more homeowners

of heritage structures to apply.

Launched a couple of years ago, the heritage grant was created from a new five percent levy on building permits.

The fund still has a balance $319,925 after recent grant was awarded.

Since its creation, only a few homeowners applied for funding due to the requirements being found to be too onerous.

The city has since made a number of changes including reducing the number of required cost estimates from three to two for bigger renovations, modifying the legal documentation requirements for grant recipients pro-

posing minor repairs and renovations, increasing the maximum annual grants from $15,000 to $30,000 as well as introducing an option for eligible property owners to apply for Delta’s Heritage Restoration Plan funding.

However, owners must still agree to include their buildings on the Delta Heritage Register and must also enter into a restrictive covenant to protect their buildings from demolition for a period of 10 years.

The levy may undergo further changes but also might not be around for much longer as council previously directed staff to review the five per cent heritage levy as part of a review of application fees.

Development adjacent to Burns Bog on horizon SANDOR GYARMATI

sgy arma ti@de lta - o ptim ist .c o m

Final approval could be on the horizon for a large industrial development adjacent to Burns Bog. The proposed MK Delta Lands development west of Highway 91, near Nordel Way and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, includes 2.2 million square feet of industrial space.

Delta council granted conditional approval following a public hearing in the summer of 2016, but final approval was pending contingent on a number of conditions being met.

The plan includes the transfer of all of MK Delta’s other land holdings, which total 132.7 hectares (328 acres), to the City of Delta for conservation, including land east of Highway 91

where the company had originally sought to build housing.

The company, among other things, also committed $6 million to agricultural drainage and irrigation improvements in Delta.

The project received Agricultural Land Commission approval in 2017.

In 2019, Metro Vancouver’s board of directors gave preliminary approval of a land use designation change from agricultural to industrial and referred the proposal to municipalities for comment.

Richmond council was the only municipality to formerly vote in opposition to the City of Delta’s proposed amendment to the regional growth strategy.

Metro’s board later that year would go on to approve the application.

A report to the Metro board noted, “Given the location and site context of the subject property, an extension of the Urban Containment Boundary will likely not lead to a proliferation of applications. It is noted that there is one large property to the east that is currently in the ALR. If the redesignation application for the subject property is successful, this large remaining parcel will be additionally isolated, and one can anticipate an increased likelihood of a future application for a Metro 2040 amendment for that property.”

The report also noted the addition of the MK Delta property to the regional industrial lands inventory would provide an additional 43.8 hectares (108.2 acres) of industrial land “which would be of local and

Delta looking at revised proposals on busy corridor SANDOR GYARMATI

sgy arma ti@de lta - o ptim ist .c o m

A proposal to build a 165unit housing complex at the site of a failed high-rise proposal in North Delta is winding its way through the application process.

Delta’s Advisory Design Panel recently discussed the application by Arzone and Hari Homes to build a complex at the corner of 75A Avenue and Scott Road, agreeing to support the application with consideration to the panel’s comments and suggestions.

The project includes 155 condo units in two, six-storey buildings, as well as 10 townhouse units in two, three-storey buildings.

The plan also includes a two-storey private amenity building.

The residential units would be a mix of one, two and threebedroom units ranging from

just over 500 square feet to 1,477 square feet.

In 2019, the majority of council voted to reject an application by the same proponents to build a 35-storey high-rise with 329 units, as well as six townhouses, on the site.

Following the defeat of that high-rise application, Mayor George Harvie announced he would form a special task force to come up with recommendations for future development along the Scott Road corridor.

The task force submitted its final report with recommendations earlier this year.

That report outlines a new concept that breaks the corridor into three main districts, composed of six walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods.

Meanwhile, the owners of the vacant North Delta Inn property just up the street, at the corner of Scott Road and 70th Avenue, this year submitted preliminary plans for a proposed mixed-use development.

That development would

include three, six-storey buildings with a total of 243 residential units as well as 11,712 square-feet of ground level commercial space.

In late 2019, a previous development concept for the property was discussed by council.

That earlier plan proposed a

Delta waiting for first mass timber application SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyar ma ti@de lta - o ptim ist .c o m

It remains to be seen when the City of Delta will get its first application for a mass timber building as the province continues to promote the concept.

Aimed at advancing mass timber projects, the B.C. government recently announced it’s investing an additional $2 million to open a second intake of the Mass Timber Demonstration Program.

Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon, the Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation, in a news release said that by investing in mass timber through the demonstration program, his government is advancing the construction of climatesmart buildings that are built with a renewable and sustainable product.

The latest $2-million investment will support

eligible applicants with incremental or one-time costs associated with design development, permitting and construction activities in mass timber building construction, the province notes, adding that individual projects can receive up to $500,000.

The second intake follows a successful first intake that contributed $4.2 million to support eight mass timber demonstration projects and four research projects in B.C. The government earlier this year announced funding for the 12 projects and that it also established a new advisory council to accelerate the adoption of mass timber building systems.

The demonstration projects reflect a range of different building types and approaches to using mass timber that will

already invited municipalities, including the City of Delta, to sign on as mass timber construction early adopters in the Provincial Office of Housing and Construction Standards Mass Timber Early Adopter Initiative.

Delta council last fall agreed to sign an expression of interest, but also added conditions.

An upcoming new National Building Code will allow encapsulated mass timber construction up to 12 storeys, which in turn will be reflected in the next edition of the B.C. Building Code due out in 2022/23.

The provincial government introduced its early adoption initia-

tive for participating municipalities to permit the construction of taller buildings up to 12-storeys with engineered wood products in advance of the provincial adoption of the National Building Code.

Several other municipalities have signed on to the early adoption initiative.

The primary loadbearing structure in mass timber buildings is made of solid or engineered wood.

sion techniques equal to or better than the B.C. Building Code.

Any project would be subject to the requirement for a Construction Fire Safety Plan.

Delta’s fire department also supported the same fire protection standards that the Vancouver Fire Department required for the recently constructed Brock Commons, a 12-storey mass timber project at the University of B.C. Council also agreed with a staff recommendation for a city requirement for independent reviews by professional licensees for submitted structural designs as part of building permit applications.

Agriculture

It’s time to innovate B.C.’s agriculture industry IAN PATON

M L A fo r D e l t a S o u t h

B.C.’s agriculture industry has shown resiliency through many unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, recent heatwave, and raging wildfires.

Through significant economic loss, farmers, growers, and fishers have had to adapt their operations to the best of their ability with little reliance on the NDP government.

As the Official Opposition Critic for Agriculture and Food in B.C., I take my responsibility to hold the NDP government to account very seriously, and I continue to do my best to ensure the concerns of every sector are heard. It’s vitally important to recognize the unresolved issues facing B.C.’s agriculture industry.

Since the NDP introduced Bills 15 and 52, farmers and ranchers across the province have made it loud and clear that these new rules and regulations do not work for

them. The process of submitting applications to the Agricultural Land Commission through local government or First Nations is not only time consuming, but it also erodes property rights of rural landowners.

Thankfully, after 3.5 years of putting pressure on the NDP government to be flexible with secondary housing in the ALR, farmers will be permitted to build small secondary residences on their land. This is a win for the farmers and ranchers across B.C. who want to age in place, while cultivating the next generation of family farming. In my role as Opposition critic, I will continue to monitor this issue closely and ensure any future changes meet the needs of farmers across the province.

Another concern is with regards to the livestock industry. Small-scale livestock producers continue to have trouble accessing local slaughter. Why hasn’t the government fostered innovation in

OPTIMIST FILE PHOTO

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that there is a growing appetite among British Columbians to buy and source local products. Consumers would prefer to purchase beef, pork, lamb, and poultry knowing they were humanely raised

2 year warranty

and harvested on a local farm, rather than buying products that were raised and slaughtered at large-scale processing plants outside of B.C. I hope the government will put more effort into nurturing the type of environment needed to help slaughter operations expand.

In my view, B.C. must also

allow families to be creative and entrepreneurial to come up with supplemental income to support their farm operations. I get concerned when out-of-the-box ideas like festivals, processing facilities, eateries, roadside stands, and cafes are shut down by the Agricultural Land Commission. Agri-tourism is essential to our province.

These activities need to be encouraged, not regulated into oblivion.

Finally, if we are to truly preserve our food system, we must invest heavily in education programs. Let’s re-establish farming as a subject of inquiry in our schools and expand the offering of post-secondary programs. B.C. should produce the next generation of growers, ranchers, greenhouse operators, hobby farmers, and community garden enthusiasts.

Agriculture has been deemed an essential service throughout the pandemic. It’s now time for it to be treated as such.

THANK A DELTA FARMER

For B.C.’s farmers, food producers and processors, the word that best sums up the last 16 months is resiliency. To go through an unprecedented pandemic and still be able to put healthy, delicious food on the tables of British Columbians is amazing and speaks to how resilient and adaptable farmers truly are.

This summer has brought other challenges including record high temperatures, drought and wildfires. Sadly, we’ve had ranchers lose animals, and crops have been damaged due to factors brought on by our ever-changing climate. My heart goes out to those affected.

Whether it’s helping to relocate livestock or assisting farmers with support around insurance or damage claims, staff in the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries are there to offer support on all fronts. We have programs like Agristability to assist with recovery and a suite of emergency management resources and guides to help inform and prepare in the event of an emergency.

As we deal with climate change and other emergencies, we must also look ahead to the future of farming in B.C. Farmers are intuitive in adapting to changing circumstances and we know innovative practices are needed more than ever so we can have increased sustainability and productivity to ensure a safe and resilient food system.

This is why I’m excited about launching our new Regenerative Agriculture

and Agritech Network which will help farmers harness the latest and best technology so they can adopt or expand regenerative practices on their farm that are good for the environment and respond to the long-term challenges of climate change.

The regenerative approach aims to restore soils, water and biodiversity health to improve ecosystems and make farmland more resilient to climate change. Agritech advancements, in support of regenerative agriculture, will also mitigate climate change by sequestering greenhouse gases and reducing on-farm outputs.

In addition to improving the environmental sustainability of farming and combatting climate impacts, the new network will enhance our food security and provide jobs and prosperity for our farming communities.

Agriculture is an economic driver in Delta and it’s important to me that we offer programs and initiatives that support our farmers through agritech, innovation, market growth and food safety with the end goal of strengthening our food systems, communities and local economies.

We’re now firmly into the summer harvest as well as Step 3 of our restart plan but resiliency will remain the key as we move forward. We’re slowly getting back to a sense of normalcy so please go enjoy a day at a u-pick farm like Emma Lea Farms or visit a community farmers’ market. I urge everyone to do your part to support your local producers and Buy B.C.

Always ask for Fresh Quality BC Vegetables You just can’t beat the freshness and flavour of vegetables grown locally in BC’s fertile valleys and greenhouses. Our industry consists almost entirely of family farms, many going back more than 4 generations.

BC’s vegetable producers are leaders in environmentally sensitive growing techniques and sustainable farm practices. The produce grown in BC is fresh, safe, of high quality and within minutes of your favorite restaurants and supermarkets.

More than 6,000 families throughout BC depend on the fresh vegetable industry for their livelihood. The annual farm gate sales of BC’s fresh vegetable industry is more than $300 million. We are a growth industry with a high economic spin off as every farm-gate dollar generated by a BC vegetable grower further generates $6-$7 in economic spin-offs, resulting in $1.5 billion of economic activity for BC. BC producers also buy more than 90% of their packaging, farm equipment and freight requirements from other BC companies. Our producers are committed to the ongoing investment and growth of our industry, so keep your dollars at home and buy fresh BC vegetables.

Researching natural habitat and Delta’s blueberry crops The Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust (DFWT), together with the University of British Columbia, are researching the impact of planted hedgerows, grassland set-asides and floral strips on beneficial insects and pests, and how the insect populations impact blueberry crops.

With funding provided by the Canada-BC Agri-Innovation Program, they will evaluate farm management practices on commercial blueberry fields to improve pollination services from native pollinators and pest control from naturally occurring anthropod predators.

“The ultimate goal of the project is to promote the preservation and planting of natural habitats on farmland to improve crop yields and profitability while also

increasing biodiversity,” said Drew Bondar from the DFWT. “As the climate continues to change, developing more resilient agricultural systems is becoming more important. Increasing on-farm biodiversity through planting hedgerows, grassland set-asides and floral strips is one measure for increasing agricultural resiliency and reducing reliance on costly external inputs.”

The project will evaluate how restoring portions of agricultural land with semi-natural or natural habitat can support populations of beneficial versus pest insects in the region. Additionally, the study will focus on how alterations of these populations can impact blueberry crop yields and profitability for growers throughout the Lower

Mainland and Fraser Valley.

“It is our hope that this research will contribute to addressing some of the barriers that prevent growers from incorporating natural habitats into their agricultural operations,” said Bondar.

Funding for this project has been provided by the Governments of Canada and British Columbia through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal-provincialterritorial initiative, under the Canada-BC Agri-Innovation Program.

The program is delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC. Focusing on Climate Solutions Helping BC farmers contribute to climate change mitigation while improving the productivity and ecological benefits of farmland.

2003 rep girls fastpitch team enjoys strong finish at U19B provincials in Abbotsford 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 was impressive finish to the season and coach Ryan Leisz is hoping there is still one more chapter for the 2003 South Delta Invaders.

The girls rep fastpitch team completed the 2021 campaign with a runner-up finish in the Silver Division at the recent U19B Provincial Championships in Abbotsford.

The Invaders completed round-robin play in the 16-team event with a 2-2 record and narrowly missed out on being part of the Gold Division playoffs. Wins over Langford and the 2004 Invaders in the single-knockout format sent them to the final where South Delta lost to the host Abbotsford 2002 team.

Being a three-year division, most of Leisz’s players are eligible to return in 2022 for their final season of youth softball and

2003 South Delta Invaders were runners-up in the Silver Division at the recent U19B provincials. an immediate head count following the tournament indicated most want to be back for what has evolved into an extended family for many.

“Lots of kids have been together since U12, even as far back as Mighty Mites. Our core group is seven to eight kids. We

have had a few changes and additions but they have all become pretty good friends,” said Leisz.

“They have gone through their ball careers together and I think I can squeak another year out of them.

The last couple of years have been a little tough on all of this.”

Leisz has high praise for Softball BC hustling to organize a provincial championship once COVID-19-related provincial health restrictions were eased back in June, especially after the 2020 season was completely wiped out of competitive play outside of the asso-

ciation.

The Invaders took momentum to Abbotsford after earning a bronze medal earlier on the month at a tournament in Kelowna.

“We’ve always had a fairly well-rounded team.

We joke with the girls how we can be Jekyll and

Hyde. We can come out and play unbelievably well and beat almost anyone and the next game we can have unforced errors and be down six or seven runs,” chuckled Leisz. “Our coaching staff always goes in with a positive feel and vibe.

We medaled in Kelowna two weeks before, so that brought us in on a high.

“For a tiny little association we hold our own and give (the bigger teams) a run for their money and that’s all we ask of the kids.”

The Invaders roster features: Stephanie Jope, Hannah Ritchie, Jane Hewitt, Ashley Specht, Jenna Valente, Aailyah Lingam, Erin McHugh, Sydney Fowler, Emma Webster, Kirra Sherritt, Kara Leisz, Megan Moubert, Megan Mawdsley and Maddison Jose. Rounding out the coaching staff are assistants Kathy Valente, Lance Claybo and Kara Lingam.

Player development top priority for Tsawwassen Baseball There is plenty of catching up to do and the Tsawwassen Amateur Baseball Association (TABA) is making sure nobody is being left behind.

When provincial health restrictions related to COVID19 were finally eased for amateur sports back in mid-June, minor baseball associations wasted little time in extending their seasons with summer all-star play now in full swing and continuing well into this

month.

TABA’s executive was thrilled to see the organization’s top players back on the diamond and travelling again for games and tournaments. However, it also knew more had to be done at the crucial grassroots level to ensure players were progressing with their skill development.

“When we looked at our 2011 and 2013 (born) players you could tell there was a big difference because they have

basically lost two years of ball,” explained TABA president Niki Losse. “We needed to teach those kids to learn how to pitch because the Mosquito division is where you are going into full rise pitching. It definitely needed to be addressed.”

TABA ran developmental sessions throughout July that were led by players from the North Delta Blue Jays of the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

In addition, Big League

Experience, headed by Marty Lehn, ran camps and clinics that were also attended by young players beyond the association.

Losse says the additional training opportunities won’t stop there.

“Usually we don’t offer fall ball to Mosquito players and barely anything to Pee Wee but there is such a bunch of keen parents and coaches who want to continue on. We will get

that going for September and October and offer more developmental clinics through the winter,” she said.

The TABA will also be hosting a couple of playoff tournaments to wrap up the competitive side of the 2021 season.

It starts with the junior men’s provincials Aug. 14 to 15 and concludes at the 15U AA level with a five-team event Aug. 20 to 22. Both tournaments take place at Winskill Park.

13U AA Red Sox win tourney No hit baseball and a grand slam added up to a big tournament win in Pitt Meadows over the B.C. Day Weekend for the Ladner 13U AA Red Sox. The team overcame plenty of adversity on its way to the gold medal performance after opening with a 2-0 loss to White Rock on Friday, then trailing 11-7 in the

seventh inning to Surrey on Saturday morning.

That’s when the Red Sox’s fortunes changed in a big way as they roared back for a thrilling victory thanks to a walk off grand slam.

Ladner then produced two more wins, highlighted by five innings of no hit ball, to earn a spot in the championship game

and a rematch with White Rock. A back-and-forth battle concluded with a double play in the seventh, that included an out at home plate, to secure a thrilling 8-7 win.

All the boys contributed and worked as a team to make this happen. The list is too long to mention all great plays and clutch hits.

KLINE, Robert Clarke June 3, 1938 − July 30, 2021

STEWART, Charles (Chuck) D.E. May 18, 1931 − July 19, 2021

Robert passed away peacefully on July 30, 2021.

He was born on June 3, 1938, the youngest child of Ione and Russell, brother to Rodney & Barbara.

Married to Wendy; father to Graydon (Josie), Derek (Anna), Julie, and Kit (Nathan); grandfather to Brandon, Ryan, Ellie, Cameron, Sarah, Hannah, Makeisha, Jaimayah, Iluka, and Diwana; uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Later in life, he found contentment and joy with Louise Betts Smith.

Charles (Chuck) David Edward Stewart passed away peacefully on July 19, 2021, in Tsawwassen, BC. Born in Percival Saskatchewan, May 18, 1931, in his grandmother, Anna Wenman’s house.

Robert loved hiking, nature, his grandchildren, genealogy, and poking fun at Louise.

Thank you to Sam who went above and beyond, to Dr. Ranchod, Dr. Leitch, Dr. Budai, and to the amazing care team at Little Mountain Place.

He will be missed.

Rest in peace Robert−Dad−Granddad.

SCHNEIDER, Anne (nee Dielschneider) Formerly of Regina Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 2, 2021 at Ridgeview Long Term Care in Stoney Creek, Ontario, at the age of 96. Beloved wife of the late Jack. Predeceased by her parents Frank and Anna Marie Dielschneider, sister Kaye and brothers Maynard “Red” and Peter. Survived by brother Joseph Dielschneider of Hamilton, Ontario and Christina Purcell of Delta, British Columbia. Anne lived nearly her entire life in Regina but came to Hamilton for the last 7 years of her life to be closer to her family. Anne will be missed and fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews across Canada and the United States. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Ridgeview for their exceptional care and compassion.

He is survived by wife, Pat; brothers, Barry and David; sister, Betty; son, Charles; daughter, Christine (Barclay); grandchildren, Coty, Marlin, and Roxanne. He was predeceased by his sons, Del (Carma) and David; and granddaughter, Brandi.

Chuck’s early career was with the Federated Co−Operative in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In the 1960s he brought his young family to BC, settling first in Victoria then later in Tsawwassen. In 1971, he was brought on board to Canada Post, where he spent many years in senior management.

Chuck lived life on his own terms, a voracious reader astute in his perspectives on life and a lively conversationalist when he felt like it. Married to his beloved wife Pat for 69 years, he is held in loving memory by his family and friends.

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

legacy.com/obituaries/deltaoptimist

In keeping with Anne’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Private Family Service will be held at a later date in Regina.
