Deltacouncilon Monday granted preliminary approval to a setof zoning changesthat will pave the wayfor moresmall-scale, multi-unitformsof housingon single-familyandduplex lots,while choosing to maintaincity standardsthat controlhow many units can be built.
Theprovince last fallintroduced severalpiecesoflegislationaimed at increasinghousing supply including legislation requiringlocal governments to permitincreaseddensityinareas traditionallydesignated for singledetachedhomes.
The zoning changes, required for implementation by June30, will permit a minimumoffourdwellingunitson anyproperty exceedingacertain size, withaminimumof sixunits permitted in areas within1,132-square-feetoffrequenttransit.
Applicationsthat meetthenewprovincialsmall-scale multi-unithousing (SSMUH) requirements will go straight to the building permit stage without the need for publicnotificationletters and on-sitesignage.
Aplanningdepartment report notes that theamendments willhelp Delta bring newhousingunitsinto thecity to help meetatarget set by theprovince, addingthat there arecircumstances
whereaproperty maynot be able to achieve additionalunitsallowed by the legislation.
To supportlocal governmentsin implementingthe requirements,the province has released a Policy Manual and Site Standardsdocument to provide guidanceonhow to implement the zoning changes. It includes site standardsthatmust be considered by a local government.
However, citiesarenot required to followthose standardsand cancontinue to usetheir own standardswhen itcomes to thingslike setbacks,height andfloor-area coverage
That meansproperty owners can’t expect to automatically be allowed to
have fourunitsontheirlots. Garden suitesandcoachhouses in Delta,forexample,are required to have minimum setbacks of1.5-metres fromalllotlines,andthey would be required to be constructed behindthe principaldwellingunit.

During council’s discussionon Delta’s approach, Coun. Rod Binder saidthecity maintainingits right to have some restrictionsshould temper someoftheanxietyinthecommunity.
Mayor George Harvie agreed, saying theprovinceshould,“leaveusalone” whenitcomes to established singlefamily residentialareasand municipalitiestrying to maintainthe sustainabilityofneighbourhoods.
Afterfinaladoptionofthe zoning bylaw, staff willundertakeacommunity awareness campaign to help informthe publicofthe changes. A publichearing maynot be heldforthe SSMUH zoningamendment bylaws, according to thelegislation.
A report evaluatingthe changesis to come back to council earlynext year, includingan evaluationof relaxed parking requirements,as wellasdevelopmentcost chargesanda reviewof thecity’sfloor-area ratios.
Meanwhile, to help Deltameetits housingtarget, thecityisalsoplanninga separate, wider sweeping setof landuse changesas part ofitsupdated Official Community Plan(OCP).
Council gave preliminary approval to those changesafew weeks ago.
Municipalitiesare required to have updated OCPs by theendofnext year, buttheCityof Deltaisplanning to have those changescompleted sooner.

sg yarm ati@delta-optimisIt would be a complex that would be a hub for thecommunity.
That’s howa proposed new mixed-use hotel building was described forCity of Delta-owned land on Chisholm Street, which is being eyed for redevelopment, during council’s meeting on Monday, June 3.
The city retaineda consultant to investigate thefeasibility of a hotel at the site as part ofan overall planfor Ladner Village revitalization, after having purchased several commercial properties nearthe harbour this year.
Salim Kassam, representing Kadence
Hospitality& Development, outlined theiranalysis which concludeda six-storey, 88-unit accommodation withmore than 18,000-square feetof commercial space would be viableforthe market.
Focusing onthe upper end ofthe market, hedescribed the accommodations asan “aparthotel” that would have short-term and longer-term guests and a highlevel of amenities. Instead of individual rooms, small apartments would have their own bathroom and kitchen.
Kassam noted the property would support an average rate of$219.76 withan occupancy of74 per cent inthefirst year.
The commercial space
andamenities would be available to thecommunity as well, making thecomplex a part ofthe community.
Council agreed it’s still early intheprocess, with the next step to be community engagement to developcriteria that can be used to inform theexpressionofinterest scoring process. A report to council notes that Kadence’s modelis one of several accommodationmodels that could be viableforthe redevelopment.
Anexpressionofinterest process is required to test the market andidentify/shortlist interested parties to submitfullproposals It is possiblethat the request forproposal process would generatea different finalproduct

Since becoming B.C.’s second Seniors Advocate in March, I’ve beentravelling throughouttheprovinceand had theprivilege ofmeeting with hundreds of seniors in both rural andurban communities. I’ve beenamazed attheamountof volunteerismand support seniors provideforother seniors.
Whether it’s cooking and delivering meals, driving to appointments, helping aroundthe house, providing companionshipandconversation,or keeping seniors’ centres operating, olderBritish Columbiansare stepping up to care for each other.
Ageing withdignity for many people means remaining independent and autonomous foraslongas possible British Columbians are living longer, healthierlives. Whilethecommitment seniors have for each otherandtheircommunitiesiscommendable, we must domore to make sure they can allaccess theprograms, servicesand supports needed to stay safeand healthy asthey age.
Too many seniorsare challenged to find affordablehousing; manage the rising cost of living on fixed incomes ; adapt theirhomesor pay increasing property taxes ; oraccess publicly subsidized home support services, local long-term care orassisted living in a timely manner. These supports and servicesare essential for a good quality oflife for seniors both today,andinthefuture.
More British Columbians will be seniors withinthenext decadethan at any othertime in our history. We must actnow to meetthe demandsof a growing seniors population andensureolder people have the supports they need to thrivein their communities
Withany luck, we will all be seniors one day. Let’s take amoment during Seniors’ Week this week to recognizetheircontributions, celebrate theirachievements, anddo all we can to helpthemlive happy, healthy lives.
Music has long been celebrated forits ability to bring out emotions, altermoods, and serve as a refuge fromthe stressesof ever yday life
Whether we like itornot, it is woven into thefabricof our daily routines, fromthe tunes we hum on our way to work, to the songs that become the soundtrack of our most-cherished memories. But beyond its cultural significance, music holdsdeeptherapeutic potential,offering many benefitsformentalhealthand well-being.
Scientific research has consistently demonstrated thatmusic can have a powerfulimpacton our emotions andmental states. Listening to music can release dopamine,a chemicalinthebrain thatmakes usfeel happy, lifting our spiritsand boosting our mood
For many, music servesas a vehicleofescape, providinga much-needed respite
fromthe pressures of daily life. Whetherthroughthe calming soundsof a classical pieceorthe hard-hitting beats of a favourite pop song, music can transport us to a placeof joy.
The therapeutic benefitof music extends beyondemotional relief.
For individuals with specialneeds, music therapy has beenshown to improve communication skills, foster socialinteraction,and enhancecognitive development. Childrenandadolescents can benefitfrom music
therapy as a creative outlet to express theirfeelingsand cope with challenges such as anxiety anddepression.
For those grappling with illness, music can be a source ofcomfort and strength.
Studies have revealed that patients with chronic pain, cancer, andother serious conditionsoftenexperience reduced anxiety and improved pain management through music therapy. For individuals withAlzheimer ’s anddementia, familiar melodies can stimulate memor y recallandimprove cognitive function,offeringa connection to their past anda sense ofidentity.
At theendofthe day,let’s faceit, music isuniversal. It has the power to bridge gaps andbring us closer together, transcending culturaland language barriers.

In the May 30issue of the Optimist there was anarticleexplaining the new regulations put inplace at the U.S. border to ensure that rabiddogsfrom Canada don’t enter the United States.
Family pets willnow have to verify recent travel, have micro chipsinserted so they can be identified andtracked, and have their veterinarian’s medical histor y, along with a photo of thedog.
My goodness, I had no idea that rabid dogshiding in Canadian motor homes were such a threat to Americans
However, ifanyonecrosses the southern U.S. border, wellthat’s completely different.
Thousands of people from almost ever y countr y on earth have, and continue, to cross that border ever y day. Why, someare evenflown directly into Americancities
There are no background checks,
Thenewrules
nomedical checks andthey are now in ever y state, andno one knows who theyare, collecting welfare, getting free medical, food andlodging in hotels
But at least the borderisprotecting our Americanneighbours from all those rabid Canadianfamily dogs! Yes sir, that is government in action. Greg Hoover
Editor :
There has obviously been much discussion at thefederal,provincial, and municipal level about the so-called “housing crisis” with many differing opinions on the solution to providing more housing, more housing options, and more affordablehousing.
Knee-jerk reaction,in my opinion, seems to have prevailed at many levels but led by theprovincial government, pushing policiesthat willaddfour-and six-plexunitsinto low-density, singlefamily residentialneighbourhoods, as wellashighdensity in pockets surrounding transit hubs.
There doesn’t seem to be considerationfor infrastructure challenges or resident wishes.
Whilethere isnodoubtthat such policies willincrease the stock and types of housing, willthey,however, do anything to impactthe affordability?
The primar y determinant of the cost of a home is land.
Asactor turned politician Will Rogers famously said, “Buyland. They ain’t making any more of the stuff.”
Whether we are exponentially increasing density to provide more ownership or rental opportunities, the
seemingly constantly increasing cost of land will always be an issue
But what ifit wasn’t? What ifthe cost of land was removed from the equation?
Imagineif a progressive group of politicians were to make underutilized public land available to a co-operative society to build homes that were, in turn, made available to purchase the right to occupy?
What if that cost simply reflected the cost (or thefuturereplacement cost) of the construction of that home? Would this reducethe cost of entering the housing market sufficiently to allowfirst -time home buyers, or young families, to purchase theirfirst home?
Woulditpresent the opportunity for empty nesters, or seniors living in propertiesthat are too large to downsize and put away a meaningfulamount of money to support their retirement years? Would,then,those homes become available for familieslooking for something bigger or developers looking to subdivideandfurther gently increase density?
We willnever know if we don’t look into it

The City of Delta’s watchpartiesforthe
Vancouver Canuck’s playoff run were a big success that should be repeated iftheNHL team does well againnext year, and perhaps forother viewing events.
Thefirst municipalityin Metro Vancouver to hostfree Canucks playoffviewing parties forthecommunity,the cityinanupdate for the Optimist noted the events at the North Delta Social Heart, outsidethe North Delta Recreation Centre, brought together fansinafamily-friendly settingthathadno issues.
Thecitynotes hundredsoffans came out for every gameandup
to 1,500fans attended thefinal gamein second round againstthe EdmontonOilers.
“We wish we could have heldtheseforlonger, butthis has beena resounding success for thecityandthecommunity,”theupdate stated
Thecostofhosting theviewing parties at Social Heart was roughly $150,000,including staffing costs,forthe two playoff rounds.
Delta policeinformed thecitythere were no incidentsofconcern at theviewing parties, so
additional policingcosts were minimal.
“The Canucks Viewing Parties were a resounding success, bringing ourcommunity together nightafternight tocheer onthe Canucksthrough theirplayoff run.Iam incrediblyproudofthe
work ofcity staffand theirdedication to hostingthese events,which benefittedthousandsof Delta residents. It was great to see so many peopleembracethe watch partiesandthecitylooks for ward to hostingmore community-building
eventslikethesein thefuture,” said Mayor George Harvie.
According to the city,the majority ofthe $78,000in policingcosts related to theplayoffs were associated with incidents at the Scott Roadand72nd Avenue intersection,which has becomea hubfor large, unsanctionedfan gatherings everytimethe Canucks wonaplayoff game.
Delta policeandthe Surrey RCMP teamed up to enhance patrols andenforcement at that intersection.
Whiletheprimary focusofofficers was safety,officersalsoenforced the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations,liquorand cannabiscontrol laws, as wellastheCriminal Code.

Monday’s announcement by Surrey South ML A ElenoreSturko
that she’s joining the Conser vative Party of B.C. caught Delta South’s ML A by surpris e.
“She wasa great teammate. We really respecte d her passion for what shedid. I’m very disappointe d that she’s donewhat she’s done,” Delta SouthML A Ian Paton said.
Sturko saidonline, “It’s easy to dismiss the polls, but it ’s impossible to dismiss what I hear on thedoorstepwhen I’m talking to voters.
“The BC Conser vativesgrassroots coalitionis resonating withBritish Columbians as the party that can
beat theNDPandbring back common sens e to Victor ia.”
Paton saidhe has no plans to abandon BC United, althoughhe’s als o be en approached by the B.C. Conser vatives
He expectsthe BC
Conser vatives to runa candidate in Delta South forthe Oct. 19 provincial election.
“Bring iton. Idon’t have a problem with that,” he said.
Paton adde d that it ’s “rather shocking” that Sturko joine d the same party that she “openly trashed,” inthe past tw o years
He said pe ople will take noticeonce BC United releasesall its policies
“The Conser vatives ever y we ek, the yshoot themselvesinthefoot
withanother candidate that ’s so far to the right, with wacky,craz y commentson Tw itter and Facebook, andwhat not, that the y have to fire them Let’s se e whothe y fire this we ek.”
Paton put outa statement Friday on X saying he’s sticking with BC United.
“S o, for allthos e speculating, I’m staying with team BC United and undertheextraordinary, stable steadfast leadershipof Kevin Falcon,” Paton wrote.
“When you’re on a team you just don’t suddenly leave and go to a different team ever y time your team getson a bitof a losing streak. I’m sticking withit, and I think we’re going to do well,fourand a half monthsfromnow.”

The schooldistrictproposes to increase the numberfrom29 to 30 adultcrossing guards, at 19locations, for a totalcost of$122,635.
The change isthe resultofadding anadditionalcrossing guard at 92nd Avenueand116th Streetfor children going to Gibsonelementary,while repositioningofa guardforBrooke elementaryforBrookeRoad atDunlop Road,fromBrookeRoad at Nordel Way.
The guards at all sites, withthe exceptionofGray elementar y, areon duty from8:30 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 3:30 p.m., withthe guard at Gray onduty from8:15 to 9:15 a.m. and 2:45 to 3:45 p.m., because of setting up and taking down of pylons along 80th Avenue.
The city provided the schooldistrict a $118,800grant for2023/24for29 guards, and $114,960for28crossing guardstheprevious year.
For 2021/22,theprogram cost $111,125for27crosswalklocations in Delta attended by adult schoolcrossing guards.
In the spring of1999, parents rallied against the school board’s decision to cut thedistrict’s crossing guard program because of a budgetshortfall.
The crossing guard portionofthe budget at thetime was $107,000.
A deal was then struck between the city and the school board that saw the municipality pick upthecost and a memorandum of understanding was signed that saw thecity assume funding beginning inthefallof1999.
The annualcost since has beenin the $100,000 range.
Following a review,the schooldistrict submitsan annual request to the city,which also reviewstheprogram and adjusts.

The pricetag is simplytoo much for such a sign. That was theconsensusof Deltacouncilduring theirdiscussion at the May 27meeting on a staff recommendation regardinga new welcome sign for the community of Boundar y Bay.
Having anoriginalestimated $50,000 pricetag, the sign would have beenlocated along Third Avenue, east of Boundar y Bay Road, replacinga previous sign that was removeda decade ago.
Council last summerdiscussed a report on a proposal to install a new sign but was taken aback by the preliminar y price, sending theproposal back to staff forfurther review.
The lateststaff report recommended thecity proceed withtheinstallationof a sign, which would include a metalcrab figure offsetfromthefront ofthe signboard and solar-powered lights. The back sideof the sign would be finished with a bluecolourandno additional graphics

Council rejected the recommendation, citing the price andprecedent it would set for Delta’s other communitiesthat couldcomefor ward wanting the city to also pay for a sign fortheirareas.
Engineering director StevenLan saidhecouldn’t find out who had installed theoriginal sign and whetherit was paidfor by a developer.
Mayor George Harvie saidtheoriginal sign was removed during the start ofthe Southlandsdevelopment andisin storage at a resident’s home but could be re-installed.
The sign isimportant, but clearly inthewrong spot.
That problem was highlighted regarding a disabled parking spot sign infront ofthe South Delta Recreation Centre, which isinstalled on thefronting walkway in such a way that itblocks access.
It was oneof several examplesofhow theCity of Delta can improve its municipal signage/wayfinding for betteraccessibility duringa presentation to council.
A representative with the Cygnus Design Group listed otherexamples ofthecity’s current sign messaging, along with recommendations to improve theeffectiveness andaccessibility of wayfinding incity parks andexteriorareas ofcivic facilities.
The need forimprovements was brought to the city’s attentionthrough feedback fromthemobility andaccessibility committee, prompting the Accessible Exterior Signage Project.
A newdesign signage standard package is to focus onaccessibility.
The wayfinding signage design for parks is to be consistent indesign
standards withtheexteriorcivicfacility wayfinding that directsvisitors to park amenitiesvia identifiableandaccessible routes
The proposed package features, among other things, highcontrasting colours to assist those withvisualimpairments, universal pictogramsand anupdated hierarchy of information,asthe main improvementsforaccessibility, a report to councilnotes
The package also includes simplified naming andnon-gendered pictogramsforall-gender washroomsand change rooms.
The report notesthat theplanforthis yearis to focus onpriority areas in Watershed Park and at NorthDelta Recreation Centre as part ofaninitialinstallationprogram related to mobility and accessibility, withan expanded overallprograminfuture years.
“Following adoptionof these standards, staff will proceed withaninformational campaign to create public awareness ofthe primar y featuresofthe new signage before proceeding withimplementation,”the report adds

Deltacouncil has endorseda recommendation by thecity’s transportationadvisor y committee (TAC) to request more intersection cameras tocurb speed and red-light infractions.
The motion, to be presented at the upcoming Unionof BC Municipalitiesconvention, callsontheprovincial government to install speed and red-light cameras at intersections, “upon a reasonable request fromlocal municipalities.”
The City of Victoria sent lettersto other municipalities requesting they also write lettersto the government to install red-light and speed cameras at locationswhere there were more than20 casualty collisionsfrom 2018 to 2022,or to allow B.C. municipalities to install cameras at their own cost andcollectthe fines
The letter notesthat the province has stated most crashes happen at intersectionsandthe
camerasare proven to be effective at reducing side-impact, head-on and pedestrian crashes. They are locatedwhere red-light running and high-speed cause serious crashes.
A report to council notesthat TAC members discussed thecorrespondenceandnoted the financial andlogistical challenges for municipalities to installtheir own intersection safety cameras
“Depending on the numberof cameras installed, the capital investment andoperating costs may significantly exceed anyfines collected
“As such, it was discussed that it would be more cost-effective and efficient fortheprovince to expand theirnetwork ofintersection safety camerason a request basis by each municipality,asthey already have anestablished program inplace,” the report notes
Back in2018,theprovinceannounced that redlight intersection cameras would be operating
24/7 at 140intersections in B.C. thathad someof thehighest crash rates. Cameras had previously only beenactivated for six hoursa day during high-traffic periods.
Ofthose cameras, just a fewdozen are also equipped to identifyand ticket speeding vehicles.
In NorthDelta, there are fourintersection cameras : Nordel Way and Scott Road, Scott Roadand80th Avenue, Hwy.10and Scott Road and Nordel Way and 84th Avenue. None were added in Tsawwassen orLadner, including at such busy intersections as Hwy.17, at 56th Street, or Hwy.17A , at Ladner Trunk Road.
According to the province, theonlyDelta camera that currently is also equipped to capture speeding drivers isthe one at Nordel Way at 84th Avenue
The province says it transfers ticket fine revenue to municipalities to support policing and public safety programs. Violationticketsare issued to a vehicle’s registered owner.

A physical barrier between the travel lane andproposed bike lane is required,thecity notes, adding that it has recently constructed protected cycling lanes witha concrete barrieron River Roadfrom68th Street to 72nd Street
The planis to continuetheprotected cycling lanes, with the latest improvement to
provide a sectionofprotected cycling routesfrom Ladner to North Delta.
The improvements include1.8-metre-wide cycle laneson both sides, newconcrete barriers, related signage, pavement marking, road widening and bus stopmodificationsasneeded.
The finaldesign component should be completed by Nov. 29. Tendering andconstructionof theproject is anticipated for2025.
Multi-use pathway Meanwhile, construction will be getting under-
way for a new multi-use pathway along thenorth sideof River Roadfrom Ferry Road to Elliott Street The pathway is to improve connectivity between MarinaGardens andLadner Village, creating saferandmore accessibletraveloptions.
According to a recent report fromHUB Cycling, thelength ofbikeways inthe Metro Vancouver region has nearly tripled from1,700kmin2009 to 4,600kmin2019.
The second State of Cycling Benchmarking Report also notesthat in
areas where thenetwork has grown orimproved, the rate of cycling collisions has dropped, and the numberof cycling trips has increased dramatically.
The report addsthat 60 per cent of Metro Vancouver residentslive near a bikeway that is considered comfortable formost people, while the percentage of people using sustainablemodes astheirprimary source oftransportation has increased from24 per cent in2011 to 27 per cent in2017.

A local band’s third albumthat was delayed by theglobal pandemic of 2020/21,isnow ready for release withthe first song dropping at Dreams2Reality’s extended play release party, this Friday, June7, at L’Aromason12th Avenue in Tsawwassen.
All are welcome to the event, which goesfrom 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., says singerandlong-time Tsawwassenite Jonn Epplette.
Dreams2Reality isan indie-acoustic-fusionof rock and pop, according to the band.
The bandformed in 2017 with Epplettesinging and Michael Foot playing guitar Theirfirst albumtitled Cover This was released that year followed by the self-titled Dreams2Reality original materialEPin2018.
Theirthird EP, Right Here, contains somelove ballads, andis named afterthelead song by the same namewritten by
Epplette, forhis wife
“Igoing to callthis a COVID-inspired album,” said Epplette.
The original plan was to release itin2021 but the pandemicdelayed that. Withthedelay, came a fewmore songs, withonetitled, Isolation, theother Far and Near.
The album was “something tokindof keepus going,” whenthe pubs, restaurants and cafes were shuttered,locked, dark andquiet.
The newalbumconsists offive original songs that will be released one at a time overthenext several months andfeatures anupgraded sound with several professional musicianshired for the best soundproduction.
AnotherEP album will be released laterin the year.
“We’ve got highexpectations,” Epplette said.
Oncethe songs are out, it doesn’t mean the work is over Promotion of the music is a constant effort via social media and music platforms including iTunes, Spotify,
iHeartRadio, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTokandX.
“It’s such a different era. I’m spending so much time on social media creating videos, it’s kindofthe way of promoting nowadays,” Epplette said.
The goalis to somehow get oneoftheir songs onto a playlist somewhere andbroaden their reach.
Epplette retired last yearfrom a long careerin parks management and saidplaying in a local bandisn’tdoneforthe money, but forthe joy of reaching people and making them happy.
“You don’t make a living offit, that’s for sure,” he said.
Currently,they’re playing about once a week, but they’d like to increase that.
“It’spretty fun,”he says. “There’snothing like just playing music for peopleand seeing themsmile. Youalways leave withasmileon yourfaceandfeeling good.”

My friendused to frequently travel outside of our provinceinthe summer, andthen sheasked herself, “Why would I leave B.C. whenitisthe most amazing time of the yearhere?” Sincethen, she started travelling in other seasons, and she is thoroughly enjoying the beautiful outdoors of British Columbia in the glorious summer months.
Many of usin our city look for ward to summer each year.
Given our reputation as “Raincouver,” we really do appreciate summer and want to take full advantage of the beautiful season whileit’s here.

The bible claimsthat we can have a similar longing for things to be made right, despite the brokenness we experi-
enceinthe world today.
Hebrews10:23 says, “Letus hold fast the confessionof our hope without wavering, for hewho promised isfaithful.”
The author encourages us to put our hope in Jesus because heisfaithful to fulfillwhat he has promised, so the hope we have is not futile but an
Having the hope of Jesus spurs us on to love and good works, which our world coulduse more of today.As we long for summer, we can long for Jesus andplace our hope inhim ; knowing that hispromises will come to be a reality just as we can trust that summeris coming even though we’ve beenliving up to our raincouver reputation inthe last few weeks.

The Element Volleyball Club has finally brokenthrough onthe national stage.
Coached by Delta secondar y athletic coordinatorAndrew Robsonandfeaturing nineplayers from South Delta(sevenfrom DSS), theGrade 10 boysteam picked upthe silver medal at the National Club Championshipsin Edmonton overthe May 24 weekend.
The clubplayed nine gameslosing the gold medal final to a familiar foe fromLangley.
The win capped an incredible seasonforthe U16 clubwhich started
their seasonin January.
Element qualified for the nationals winning the bronzemedal at theprovincialsin Abbotsford in early May.
“We’ve beencompetitive forthe last couple of years andthis year wewere able to break through,” said Robson.
“We were fifth two years ago andfourth last year, so to get onthe podium at provincials, wewere happy withthat. Last year atnationals, we made it to the top eight andlost inthequarterfinals. This year we got back to the top eight and just kept rolling. It was a strongyearfor B.C. –we swept the podium forU16 boys It wasa coolexperienceforthe
boys making that run in Edmonton.”
From a competitive standpoint,having so many players from DSS, helped Element achieve such a great season.
“Your club[team] helps your school,and your school[team]helps your club,” he said.
“Having the boys for a longer period … because I have themforthehigh school seasonandthen the club season, so it helpsthat way.
“I thinkthe boys have really come togetheras a group overthe past coupleof years, believing inthemselves, and understanding that they do belong inthat group of top teamsand realizing that they can win and
trusting in each other.
The final day ofthe tournament wasa wild ride It was three matchesin a row all going to three sets. There were 112 teamsinthe tournament, and we camein second. Super proud ofthe boys and a big accomplishment forthe club.”
The Element team members this season included: Arshaan Bilga, Jack Thompson, Ethan Van Marrewyk, Dylan Bradbury, Saagar Dhaliwal, Kieran Hartley, Matt Wigglesworth, Rhys Derosa, Levi Sadlo, Godwin Mow, Chase Wilson, Leo Ortizand Richard Zhao with coaches Andrew Robson, Justin Cotter, and Kiran Sathikumar
