Watch outfor warning signs includingchangesin behaviourand make sure to talk to yourchild without judgment
Thosewerejustafewof thekey piecesofadvicefor parentsata forum at North Delta Secondary, Wednesday, the Public Education Night on humantrafficking, child exploitationand gangs.
Thesession,presentedby the Delta Police Department, in collaboration withthe Delta SchoolDistrict,was an opportunityfor parents, educatorsand youth to gain insightsfromexpertsonthe ways young people canfind themselves sexuallyexploited, as wellas becomelured into a gang life.
Often,the twocan go handin-handwhenitcomes to girls.
Delta Dep. Police Chief Harj Sidhubeganthe session by notingtheissuesareoccurring everywhere, including Delta, whichiswhy awarenessisso important.
“Yes,thes eissuesdo happenhereinD elta.They’renot somethingwes ee just onthe
eveningnewsor happening inthebigcitiesaroundus.It’s happeninginourcommunity andweneed to educate ours elvesandhaveanunderstandingofwhatthese issues are, andw e’re nevergoingto 100 percent mitigate them, butknowhow canwelearn some techniques,infor mation,to giveour youth resilience to make choices,” said Sidhu.
Guestspeaker JewelKellshardcastle,withthePacific CommunityResourceCentre –StopExploitingYouth, explainedhow sexualexploitationis asubtle,multi-stage victimizationprocess.
Thegroominginvolvesvictim selection, gainingaccess, trustdevelopment, gradual desensitization,whichcan appearasinnocent questions, andthe beginningsofphysicalcontact,followedbyabuse and post-abuse maintenance to ensure acontinuedrelationship.
Theperpetrators,often someoneinthevictims’lives, seek outyoung peoplewhoare vulnerable,includingthose with substance-abuse ormental-healthissues,low cognitive
functioning,ahistory of sexual abuse, lack offamilysupport, poor self-imageand alackof belonging.
Tacticsincludeflattery, promises,gifts,misrepresentingthemselves,especially online,allleadingtoa young person becomingisolated fromtheir socialconnections, as wellasthreatsandcoercion.
Girlsare theprimary victims,while youngmenare
mainlythevictimsofonline sextortion. Shenoted parentsandcaregiversshould be awareofred flagsincludingsocialisolation,lifestyle changes, unexplainedgifts, as wellastheir owngutfeelings somethingisn’t right.
Talkingtoyoung people aboutsexualgrooming includescreatinga safe space withoutangeror judgment, allowingyouth to providetheir
owndefinitionsfirst,being mindfuloftheemotionalconversationandfollowing the young person’sleadaboutthe discussion’spaceandlength.
Cpl. BobSanghawiththe CombinedSpecial Forces Unit (CFSEU-BC),theprovincial integrated anti-gangagency, saidthereismuchoverlap whenitcomestothetactics andtechniqueswith gang recruitment, suggestingparents,aswellas educators, look forthesigns.
Unlikepoverty beinga big factorin joininggangsinthe U.S.,needingmoneyisnot really amotivationhere, he said. Whenitcomestogangaffiliated sexualexploitation, it mainlyhappens to girlswho thenfindthemselvesforcedto recruitothergirls.
Often,theirfirst contact canbeathouse partieswhere drugsandalcoholareprovidedtothemunderthe guise of beingfree, onlytohavepaymentthendemanded.
Themessage stressed for parentswas to make sure to talk to their kids,and,ifnecessary,find someonethey’re comfortabletalkingtoifit’s nottheparents.
TheDelta Police Department is investing in new technology to allow policeofficers to spendmore time with the publicinstead of doing administrative tasks.
On Monday, theDPD hosted Axon Ecosystem atDugald Morrison Park, in Ladner, where the tech company showed off their latest gadgets: drones, transcription services, live-streaming police car cameras, virtual reality police training and a newelectricalconductive energy device (Taser).
Chief Neil Dubord was pleased to see how Axon was moving ahead with efficiencies in their products.
“Although we maynot be seenas a technology-based industry, we’re certainly looking at technology to increase efficiency. The cost ofan officer keeps going upandup. That’s reflected in ever yone’s taxes,” said Dubord
“We want to tr y and restrain that to maintain sort of a reasonablecostfor policing in our communities.”
Dubord added he’s, “superexcited forthefuture of policing.”
Vishal Dhir, Axon’s seniorvicepresident, said thecompany is working to support policeofficers so they’re not spending two to three hoursa day writing reports. Instead,they’re outengaging withthecommunity.
“Let’s face it : an officer whenthey signedup, they didn’t sign up to do … administrative tasks,” he said.
“ They want to engage in work with the citizensof their community and I feel likeDelta has donethat now with taking on someof this technology.”
The Axon system syncsall the technology and devices together
“When people usea Taser, the public wants to know thecontext ofwhy
DPD A/Insp. James Sandberg explained how theirofficers are also using interview room software and transcription software for statements. The latter is done in under a minute, saving officers time, he said.
“Probably themost impactful [technology] in today’s environment would be the body-worn camera,” said Sandberg oftheAxondevices.
“We’re seeing more andmore used in theprovince, and we willcontinue to see more.”
As technology advances, the police agency too needs to keepup
“I think that Delta has beenprogressive in embracing technology,” said Sandberg.
“I would say we’re probably a little bit aheadofthe curve oncertainthings.”
He believes their approach and willingness to tr y new things is a benefit to their officers
a Taser is used, so that’s where we launched into body cameras. When you talk about body cameras, people want to know, well,how isit stored? How isit managed? How is that evidence getting to the court system?” Dhir explained.
DPD was the first police agency in B.C. to use body cameras The police force was also the first tolaunch in-car camerasanduse automated licence plate recognition technology.
“I think innovation is key;knowing that technology is constantly changing and willconstantly change,” said Sandberg
“We need to keepup withthat change or we willfall so far behind that wewon’t be able to get there.”
Community support is also what allows Delta police to implement the Axon tech, according to Dubord.
“I can’t say enough about our team that actuallyuses this technology,” said Dubord. “They use it, they tr y it, and we provide that feedback to Axon.”
One ofthe voicesof business intiny Point Roberts says another move by the U.S. government will hurt theexclave when new regulationson dogs take effect Aug. 1.
Afterthat date, all canine companions, whetherentering or returning to the U.S., will have to be at least six months old and will have to be ISO microchipped to allow verificationof veterinarian records.
Dogs must also appear to be healthy,andthe owner must have a U.S. Centers forDisease Control andPrevention,(CDC) dog import form (requiringa photo ofthedog) receipt
Canada isn’tconsidered a high-risk countr y for rabies so ifthedog has only beenin
Canada for the past six months, vaccinationisn’t required, althoughit’s strongly recommended.As well,microchips must be implanted onthe day of or beforea rabies vaccine
The new rulesare going to hurt Point Roberts, which is still strugglingfrom theeffects ofthe pandemic, says the president ofthe Point Roberts Chamber of Commerce.
“Theirproposed new regulations regarding dog regulation at the U.S. borders willdeter morefamiliesfromcoming here. So, what’s theCDC’s rationale?”Brian Calder saidin an openletter.
“How many cases of rabies have been registered in Point Roberts inthe past 200 years? What’s next, a doggie Nexus card?”
Calderadded theCDC is
facing strong reaction from the announcement, saying there’s lotsofconfusionaroundthe issue.
“Forus, it’s disastrous,” he said. “Uncertainty causes apprehension. Apprehension meansthey don’t come to Point Roberts. We are not a threat to anybody,never have been.”
Prior to the rule change, to bringa pet or servicedog into the U.S.,a simple statement about thedog’s travel past was needed to determineeligibility forentrance, to make sure it hadn’t been to a countr y deemed to have ahigh risk of dog rabies. Other requirements for Aug. 1 include a foreign rabies vaccineform, or a certificationform for a dog arriving from a low-risk country,or otherforms

The City of Deltaandcouncil marked the approaching Pride Month in June for the sixth year withthe raisingof the Progress Prideflag at city hall.
The Progress Prideflag is a mix of thetraditionalprideflag withthetransgenderflag.
“Pride Month is a time for celebration, reflection, and unity. We come together to honourthe strugglesandtriumphs of thepride community and reaffirm our commitment to creatinga more inclusive society,” said Mayor George Harvie Monday duringa brief ceremony outsidecity hall.
Christa Horita Kadach, with the DeltaPride Society, said freedom is hollow ifitdoesn’t coincide withthefreedom of others. She added that the pride
community is seen,loved and cherished andthat raising the Progress Prideflag shows solidarity, support, andinclusion of the2SLGBTQ+ community.
“There’saquote, that none of us are free, untilall of us our free,” said Horita Kadach
“The absence of freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.”
Trevana Spilchen, socialcoordinator withthe Delta school district, saidPrideis a celebration, but itfeelslike progress is slipping.
“There’san uprising of hate right now,” toward thequeer community, Spilchen said.
And eventhoughit may not have beenthe uplifting messagepeople came to hear, “It’s important that I put this forward becauseit’s the current context rightnow.”
Andalliesare really needed right now, Spilchen said.
TheCityof Delta raisedtheProgress Prideflagoutsidecity hallinLadneronMondayafternoon.
“We really need to be loud andproud and standup right now,inthismoment.”
Spilchen saidacceptance of thequeer community has taken a step back in some ways sincethe pandemic butappreciated thecity raising theflag.
A group photo was taken aftertheflagwas raised, Pride flags were given out and cupcakes arranged inthedesign of theProgress Prideflag were available.
“Thisflag is a very powerful reminderthat the fight for
equality extends beyond sexual orientation andthat our city’s commitment to progress is inclusive of allmembers of the pride community,” Harvie said.
Despite previousincidents of vandalism towards pride flags, hate has noplacehere, headded.
The city will be raising its rainbow street banners in Juneandis launching a social media campaign in support of thepride community. The city also created Pride Month buttons
The City of Delta’s diversity, inclusion, andanti-racism committee, members of the public, and staffalso participated intheceremony.
Horita Kadach also thanked peoplefor helping make the City of Delta a more inclusive, safe, and kind space for pride families, loved ones andneighbours.

During the past year, the Guru Nanak Food Bank has consistently raised questions about the effectiveness and transparency offood bankoperations in B.C.
We have advocated for significant changes to ensure that donations and grantsare utilized effectivelyto support the growing numberofindividuals relying onfood banks.
In anopenletter sent to the prime minister last year, we outlined specific concerns andproposed ideasfor creatinga more efficient andaccountable food bank system
The recent findings by Food Banks Canada validate our concerns, highlighting that Food Banks BC andits associated systems have failed to deliver millionsofdollars indonationsand grants where they are most needed.
Key issuesidentified include the lack of a review system, absenceof audits, and insufficient complaint mechanisms.
Additionally, the systemdoesnot adequately considercommunity feed-
back, such as Google reviewsandother formsof publicinput. These deficiencies have led to widespreadinefficienciesand a failure to meet the needs of vulnerable populations
We callupon Food Banks Canada, as the umbrella organization at the federal level, to address these issuesdirectly with Food Banks BC
It isimperative that a thorough reviewand restructuring take place to ensure accountability andtransparency withinthe system
As a community-based food bank in NorthDelta, the Guru Nanak Food Bank has demonstrated resilienceand capability inaddressing food insecurity. In April 2024alone, weserved 18,635 recipients withoutany support from provincialorfederal governments. Our success showsthat withproper support and resources, we can achieve even more.
During these challenging times, itis crucial to re-evaluate andimprove our food bank systems.

In his most recent letter to the Optimist, Greg McDonald stated, “I wouldlike to proposea sectionof parking at Centennial(Beach) foronly Tsawwassen residents.”
The last time I checked,Ladner residents, and NorthDelta residents for thatmatter, also pay taxes to the City of
Delta, so, any priority forlocal resident parking, shouldincludealltaxpayers that live in Delta(Southand North), not just Tsawwassen residents, who just happen to live closest toCentennial Beach. Ideally, parks and recreation spaces should be available to ever yone.
It’s called democracy,for a reason.

The City of Delta has issued a request forbidsforthe supply of20additional automated externaldefibrillators (AEDs).
The LIFEPAKCR2 Defibrillator units andaccessoriesare to enable bystandersto help save liveswhen someoneis experiencing cardiac arrest.
In 2023,thecity,in a partnership with St JohnAmbulance, installed publicly accessibleAED stands at fourcity parks. Costing about $32,000combined, the standsincluded anAEDunitand a first aid kit for bystanders
“Considering most cardiac arrests happen away from hospitals, these standsprovideessential tools to the publicinthe event someoneexperiences a major medicalemergency,” thecity explained in a news release at thetime.
Representativesfrom St John Ambulancetheprevious year made a presentation to councilduringa province-wide Start MeUp campaign. The goalofthe campaign was topartner withcitiesthroughoutthe province to place1,000 publicly accessibleAEDs
across B.C. Public spacestargeted forAEDsincludetransitcorridors, SkyTrain stations, bus loopsandhigh trafficareas like shopping malls, parks andother key locations
Ken Leggatt, chiefoperating officer for St. JohnAmbulance, toldcouncil that, unlike heart attacks, sudden cardiacarrestscan happen at any time, and can lead to unconsciousness and can be fatalifnottreated immediately with CPR andanAED
The City of Deltaalready has AED unitsin each ofits major recreation facilities, while publicly accessibleunits are also at the TsawwassenArts Centre, NorthDelta Centre for theArts, Ladner Community Centre, Pinewood Leisure Centre and at the Harris Barnand Kirkland House.
The city,though, didnot have AEDs installed in outdoor facilities such as park fieldhouses.
Earlierthismonth, BC United MLA Shirley Bond, Shadow Minister for Health, re-introduced her proposed Defibrillator Public Access Act, which would require ever y public building in B.C. to have anAEDthat isvisible, registered and maintained.

VisitorstoCentennial Beach in Tsawwassen can nowget real-time parking availability information and willalso soon be able to enjoy analcoholic beverage onthe beach area.
Metro Vancouver has started its pilotproject on parking capacity at Boundar y Bay Regional Park and Iona Beach Regional Park.
A report to the regional parks committee saidthenew parking project willhelp people make betterdecisions about when to access the park, what modeoftransportation to use and whether to considervisiting other parks if the parking lotisfull.
“At completionofthepilotproject, regional parks willlook at other parks that could benefitfromthis technology in thefuture. Learnings from this project will be used to inform changes to how Metro Vancouveraddresses parking capacity issuesacross the system,” the report explained.
A video camera withanalytical capabilities willdetect the numberof vehiclesentering andexiting the park, and asthe camera counts vehicles, the system will calculate current parking lot capacity,which will be displayedinthe online platform in realtime.
Whilethe systemusesartificialintelligenceandpredictive analytical tools to provide real-time parking suggestions to the public, the camera willnot use any form offacial recognitionor collectany personalinformation, such as licenceplate numbers.
Meanwhile, Metro Vancouver ’s board recently approved necessary bylaw amendments to allow anotherpilot project to proceed, onethat permits the public to consumealcoholindesignated areas at six regional parksincluding Centennial Beach at Boundary Bay Regional Park.
Signage will be installed at each of
Parkmanagersmustpostsigns settingouttheboundariesofeach designatedareaandthedatesand hoursduringwhichliquormaybe consumedinthoseareas.
the sites to inform park visitors where thedesignated areas are located, but alcohol salesare not permitted. Public intoxicationandunderage drinking remainillegal.
Signage at waterfront locations will have messaging that swimming and alcoholdon’tmix.
The pilotprogram will run from Friday, June28, to Monday,Oct. 14, 2024, with alcoholconsumption permitted during park hours during the durationoftheprogram.
The province has jurisdiction over possessionandconsumptionofliquor, andthe Liquor Control and Licensing Act makes itunlawfulfor people to possess openliquororconsumeitin a numberofplaces, including parks, that are notprivate places
However, the province has delegated authority to regional districtsandother local governments to, bybylaw,designatea publicplacewhere liquor may be consumed,andprescribed how it must be done.
Last year, the City of Deltaexpanded the numberof public parks that can have designated areas for publicconsumptionofalcohol,also making it year-round.

The city has offered Delta-owned spacefor lease at the Royal Oaks in Tsawwassen.
Comprising over 4,200-square-feet, the
mainfloorofthe building inthe1100-block of 56th Streetis availablefor officeor retail purposes. There isalso anoption to lease the basement separately.
Last year,thecity had to offer concerned resi-
dentsanassurancethat it was notplanning to redevelopthe building into a six-storey residential complex
Council had approved anOfficial Community Plan(OCP)amendment and rezoning to allow
commercialusesinthe complex , which had been zoned for public uses.
A staff report noted that theproperty was given to theCity of Delta forcommunity purposes in 1991 whentheadjacent Royal Oaks multiunit residentialcomplex was developed.
The existing Tsawwassen building on was constructed in 1992 and used as a community policeofficeuntil2017, whenthat officemoved into the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.
Sincethen,the building has beenmostly vacant, exceptfor Delta Archives material, which was stored withinthe basement.
Staffbrought for ward a proposal tochange the zoning to lease out to a commercial business.
At an earliermeeting, councillors discussed letters ofopposition to a previous OCP amendment application.
Councilmembers saidthey wanted the city toclarify what was proposed and assure the publicthecity didnot plan to build a six-storey building at the site, contrar y to rumours thathad

beencirculating.
In addition to letters of concern,thecity received a petitioncontaining 217 signaturesfrom155 households.
The staff report noted, “Redevelopment ofthe site isnotproposed at thistime.”
The report also noted that stafforiginally proposed to amendthe OCP designationfrom multiunit residential totown centre, andfrommedium-density residential to mixed-use.
“However, givenconcernsandopposition from residents regarding theproposed OCP designation,the OCP amendment proposal has been revised to includedesignationsfocused exclu-
sively oncommercial use,” the report added.
The planning department also noted the proposed amendments would match the current landuse designations on similarcommercialonly propertiesalong 12th Avenueadjacent to the Tsawwassen Town Centre.
The current zoning now allowsfor a variety ofneighbourhood commercial usesincluding office, fitness, retailand café
Councilthis spring gave preliminar y approvalforanupdated OCP.

The city isestablishing a new Delta community grantsfunding policy.
It’s aimed athavinga more formal application process and guidelines for community grant funding requests made to thecity,assisting staff and council by streamlining requestsandproviding guidance to organizations seeking funding.
The city has beenproviding financial support to various organizations throughfee-for-service agreementsincluding: Deltassist, the Boys and Girls Cluband Reach Child and Youth Development Society.
The city also grants permissive taxexemptions to support qualifying organizations by exempting landand/ or improvementsfrom municipalproperty taxation,as well asproviding facility use at belowmarket rent to various organizationsincluding preschools Othergrants include community festivalgrants, facility rental fee waivers andother funding requestsfrom community groups.
A staff report notesthat totalfinancialassistance in 2023 was $3.5mil-
lion, withfeesfor service approximately $1million ofthat amount.
However, each year there are more requests forcommunity support, but there are limits to the city’s ability to provide support in a fairand equitable manner without substantial increases intaxes.
The program will mainly focus on request forgrantsthat donot fit underthe categoriesof feesfor service, permissive taxexemption or facilitylicenses/use.
“The purpose ofthe program is to assist non-profitorganizations andcommunity groups in Delta to undertake projects, programsand initiativesthat provide benefit to Delta’s community. This policy provides a framework to ensure consistency andfairness intheassessment of funding requests, the allocationofgrants to eligible applicants, and to encourage thedelivery of projectsandinitiativesthathave a positive impact in Delta while also establishing anannual expenditure forsmaller community grants,” the report explains.
Organizations applying for Delta community grantsfunding must be
based in Delta and/or be proposinga community service, program, initiative or event that primarily serves Delta residents, as well asnot receiving other support fromthecity.
Grantsthat are approved must not be considered as ongoing annual sourcesoffunding, the report notes, adding alternative funding sources must be identified and pursued and any unused fundsfrom theprogram must be returned. The maximum to be given to an eligible organizationis$10,000.
A decision by thecity manager to not approvea grant can be reconsidered by councilif requested by the applicant.
The city’s 2024financialplanincludesup to $150,000forthe program.
Meanwhile, council recently endorsed entering into a one-year funding agreements with Deltassist for $179,000, Reach for$50,274 and the Boy’s and Girl’s Club for$113,000.
Deltassist’s request for$150,000inadditionalfunding was not approved and was referred forconsiderationforthe2025 budget, alongsidefurtherinformation to be brought for ward by staff regard-
ing funding models of free counselling programs offered in Metro Vancouver.
Staff will also undertakea reviewofthecity’s funding service agreementsinconjunction withthe serviceproviders “to ensure that the agreements reflectemerging community needs and have adequate and clear target outputs.”
Accordingtothenewpolicy,onceanorganization hasbeen awardedagrant,fundsmustbespent within12monthsof receiptandorganizations mustalso reportbackonthesuccess ofthegrant insupportingthe communityservice,program, initiative or event.

Pickleballisthriving, andthat’s great news for those wholove the game
Unfortunately,pickleballalso has proven beneficial to orthopedic practices
Injuriesarea part of any sport, andpickleball is no different. Though there’s no foolproof method to guarantee pickleballplayers don’t get hurt playing the game they love, the following are sometipsthat can reduceinjury risk.
Gearup: Pickleball is a competitive sport, but there’sa tendency among someplayers,
particularly novices, to takea casual approachto the game Veteran players may know better, but anyonenew to the game should be sure to wear the appropriate gear whenplaying. Athletic shoes withampletraction can reducethelikelihood that players will slipor fall. The right paddle also can reduce risk for elbow injuries
Embrace physical activity: Pickleball can be a great workout, and players can reducetheir injury risk by embracing physical activity even when they are notplay-
ing. Leg exercises can help buildlower body strength, but strength exercises that focus on theupper body also can reduceinjury risk
Loosenup before playing: Taking thecourt right after getting out ofthe car is a recipe for injury.Arrive five to 10 minutes beforea game anduse that time to loosenup.A short walkand some subsequent stretches can helpplayers make sure their bodiesare not too tight to play Some brief warm-upexercises and stretching can reduce muscle tensionand make
the body lessvulnerable to injury.
Hydrate before, duringand aftera game: Flexibility can reduce injury risk, particularly in a sport like pickleball. The 2021 study published in Injury Epidemiology noted that 60 percent of pickleballinjuriesare sprains, strains, or fractures. Remaining flexible can reduce athletes’ risk for sprainsand strains. Johns Hopkins recommendsadultsconsume between six and12 ouncesof water for every 20minutesof sportsplay and to drink between 16

Travel was once a key component of the picture working professionalscreated oftheirideal retirements
Eagerness to get back onthe road,in the airoronthehigh seascould make it easy to overlook some principlesof safe travel. However, such an oversightcould lead to complicationsthat could make it hard to enjoy time away fromhome.
The following tips can reducethe likelihood that seniors encounter trouble whiletravelling.
Determine ifany healthissues are affectingyourdesired destinations: The Centers forDisease Control and Prevention hasa website devoted to travel vaccines (cdc.gov/travel/page/ travel-vaccines),andthat page can be an invaluable resourceforindividuals planninga vacation. What’s more, the CDC even providesa specificlist of
destinationsandthe latest travelhealth noticesfor each ofthose nations. That list, accessible at cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list can help seniors determine ifthere are any health-related safety issuesincountriesthey hope to visit.
Take financial precautionsas well: Ofcourse, not alltravel-related concerns are medical. Financesalso require some pre-trip attention. Inflation has caused a sharp spike in the priceof variouscommodities sincethe start of2022, so travellers should study uponthecost offood and attractions at theirdestination to ensure they have enough money to enjoy themselves Baggage costs have risen significantly in recent years, so seniorstravelling on a budget may want to pack less and do laundry whiletravelling inaneffort to save money. In addition, theunpredictable nature oftravel
sincetheonset ofthe pandemic has underscored theutility oftravelinsurance Seniors can lookinto travelinsurancethat could reimburse theminthe case ofdelays or cancellations.
Speak to your physician: A pretripconsultation with a physician can uncover any issuesthat might arise while you’re away. Such issues may be easily managed fordomestictravellers whoarenot planning to visit any especially remote locations, but they willnot necessarily be as easily navigated when travelling overseas. Physicians can recommendcertain vaccinationsormeasures to ensure yourhealthwhile away In addition, a pre-tripdoctorvisitis a great time to refill prescriptions that you will need while you’re away Privately share youritinerary: Prior to departing, share your itinerary with
friendsandfamily. Avoidsharing the itinerary on socialmedia platforms, which can make youa target forcriminals at homeand at yourdestination. The itinerary shouldincludewhere you’re staying, the dates you’re visiting certainlocationsandthe dates ofactivities you’ll be engaging inon yourtrip. -Metro Creative

SENIORSWEEK June 2– 8
Olderadultsoffer muchto local and nationalcommunities.
Despite that, seniors do notalways get the recognitionthey deser ve.
According todatafrom the Canadian government, seniors accounted for 18.8 percent ofthe nation’s populationin 2022. It’s alwaysa good time to thank special seniors in your life, whether they are family, caregivers, friends, ormentors Individuals can go one stepfurther by giving back to seniors inthefollowingways.
Volunteer : Visita
seniorcentre andfind out how you can volunteer your servicesand do something fun or informational withthe seniors whoare there. You may be able to guide a class in a certainactivity, such ascrafting or yoga. Volunteers may be needed to callbingo numbers orhelp with meal services
Providefinancial relief : Small business owners can offerdiscounts to senior clientele Perhaps run specialson services, including anything fromtax preparation to hair styling. If you don’t owna business,
you can provide some assistanceinother ways, such as cutting the lawn ordoing light gardening so that a seniordoesnot have to spendmoney on a weekly service.
Tutor technology: If you are tech savvy, you can help seniors navigate new technologies. Help seniors with socialmedia accounts, downloading digital photosandmore.
Dine out (or in): Some seniors may be alone if a spouse has predeceased themorifthey are divorced. Loneliness may grow into depression. One way to help a senior feel appreciated is by
sharing meals together Designatea day or two each week to gather at thedinnertable.
Serve as a chauffeur : Offer to drivea senior to the store or appointments While communities may have taxi servicesor evenaccessible senior rides, sometimesit can be more efficient for seniors to rely onothers for rides. Take a senior along when shopping at the supermarket.
Invite seniors to events : If you have a special event coming up, such as a child’s big birthday, graduationor religious occasion,invite

Seniorsatthe Waterford,who joined the pilot versionof Bee Well Projectlastyear, listenedinonseveralpresentations aboutbeesby Commonand went on a field tripand helped prepare the apiary and even harvestedhoney.
This year,residents at all four residences canjoininthe Bee Well Project.

“Itfeels likea very unique relationship,and it would be so supercool if somehowotherdevelopersgotanideaofdoing this,” she said.

“Andit’s just so amazingtobeable to think my beesareactually saferhereand getting goodfood andprotected hereonthis land,”said Common

While well-meaning, phrasesliketheseoften servetodenyorminimizepeople’s pain.
John Welwood calls thisformofavoidance “spiritual bypassing” –when people use spiritualideasorpractices to sidestepdiscomfort.
Whetherit’s thefrequentuse of spiritual clichésthat overemphasize divinecontrolwhile minimizinghuman agencyorahyperemphasison worship or personalpietytothe neglectof social justice, spiritualityiscommonly used to bypass difficulty. When religion servesas asourceofcomfortwhile shieldingpeoplefrom
thecausesofsuffering, itfunctionsaswhatKarl Marx referred to asan “opiumofthe people.”
In atimeof poly-crisis, what does ahealthy, engaged,andempoweringspiritualitylook like? Theologian Walter Burghardtoffers ahelpful waytounderstandthe

clincha spot at the provincials.
Last Thursday (May 23), SDSS lost 26-21 to Elgin Park in South Surrey in a hard-fought contest for the SouthFraser Tier 1 championship
The SunDevils relent-
less effort and cohesive teamwork were evident right from the kickoff, setting the tonefor their big win over Lord Tweedsmuir.
Many seniorplayers played their last home gamefor the SunDevils and went out in style.
Consideringa one-point loss to the same team last yearin the semi-finals, this win was significant to the team andcoaches.
The players exhibited exceptionalgrit, pushing through a hard-fought
effort from the opposing team and capitalizing on opportunities.
There was extraordinary effort in both halves ofplay, and the team’s impressive defensive and offensive play was onfull display right from the start.
From the hard work at practice, to the intense momentson the field, ever y member of the team showeda commitment to the plays that ultimately secured the well-deser ved win for the SunDevils
Coaches ChrisDodd, Jack Stokes, Niko Condonopoulosand Randi Yamaoka are extremely proud of the team’s effort and the win.
