Delta police drones fighting crime in the city

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

The Delta Police Department’s drones have become useful tools but now that will be taken a step further with their use as first responders in North Delta.

Members of the department were on hand at the North Delta Safety Building last Thursday to announce the launch of the pilot Drone as

First Responder program, an initiative that will have drones launched from the top of the building to fly over accidents or crimes in process.

Only recording if there is evidentiary value, the drones can provide a live video feed to enable officers to know what to expect upon arrival and deploy resources more quickly.

The program builds on the DPD’s existing use of drones for public safety and investiga-

tive response. Once a call for service is initiated, a drone operator classifies the call and makes a decision to launch, regardless of the operator’s location.

The drones can be useful in showing real-time accident scenes or other scenarios, such as capturing a live image of a suspect vehicle leaving a crime scene.

Any recorded data is handled confidentially and pro-

tected against unauthorized disclosure.

A/Insp. James Sandberg described the initiative as a potential game-changer and the initial response has been positive.

A/Staff Sgt. Jim Ingram, provided a demonstration with an operator launching a drone from the rooftop and flying over a certain vehicle in a nearby parking lot, for a rapid scene assessment.

Not only can the operator see the live feed, but, if needed, it can be forwarded to officers in their cars and even to Ingram’s video screen on his police vest.

Noting the devices as first responders are being built into the department’s emergency management program, Ingram added that getting eyes on a scene right away can also assist in improving the safety of officers.

Delta police chief receives King’s coronation medal

Award for Neil Dubord, who put in his last shift last week

MICHAEL WHITE Contributing Writer

Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord has become one of a select number of British Columbians to receive the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal.

Dubord was among 60 people who received the medal July 18, at Government House, in Victoria.

The medal, created to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, is awarded to those who have, “made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada,” per the Government of Canada.

Dubord received the medal in recognition of “representing the Delta Police Department, [and] for dedicated service as an Honorary Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor since 2018.”

Dubord learned he would be

a recipient in early July, when he received a letter from the Private Secretary to the Lieutenant Governor, Janet Austin.

“I was just so honoured — and a little bit shocked, because I wasn’t expecting it,” said Dubord. “I’m very appreciative to be recognized for [my] community service.”

The ceremony itself was an experience Dubord says he’ll treasure forever.

“Any time there’s a ceremony at Government House — the location is just so elegant and dignified. And there were people there who have contributed to all kinds of different aspects of the community,” he said.

Dubord has received many honours throughout his career, including the Police Officer Order of Merit from the Governor General of Canada, the Police Exemplary Medal, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal.

But this latest honour, he says, should prove especially memorable because of its timing.

Dubord just retired on Friday, July 26, bringing a career of 37 years in law enforcement to a close.

He joined the Delta Police Department in June 2015, following three years as chief of the Metro Vancouver Transit Police, and 25

years with the Edmonton Police Service, where he was the deputy chief in charge of the community policing bureau.

Dubord considers his nine years with the DPD to be among the most rewarding of his career.

“My time in Delta has been very special,” he says.

“We’ve built an organization that’s known for innovation, whether it be body cameras, a ‘top employer’ designation that we received, our drone operation …

“We have a lot of innovation and new concepts we’ve brought to Delta that have proved to be very beneficial for both our community and our police organization.”

Old Ladner house makes way for new townhomes

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

It’s one of the last of the original houses in the area but could soon make way for new multi-unit housing.

A subdivision and rezoning application was recently submitted for a property at 5043 47th Ave. in Ladner, a proposal that would see two, three-storey townhouse buildings. The application, which also seeks a variance permit to vary the minimum parking requirements, would result in seven new strata units.

The oldest surviving original house on the block, it was built in 1926 by James Brunton Sr., a carpenter by trade.

The block was originally part of the William Ladner estate and later by a member of the Huff family before the lots were all sold off.

As far as the creation of new housing units in Delta, the city last week said

it continues to make progress on the Housing Target Order set by the province to meet the growing needs of the community.

At the July 22 meeting of council, amendments to the zoning bylaw were advanced that could see 589 units, including apartments, townhouses and single-detached homes added to the city’s inventory over the next few years. The city notes that list of projects also includes 138 non-market rental apartment units in Ladner, helping to provide diverse and affordable housing options for the community.

Local governments were required to make changes to zoning bylaws by June 30 to allow either a minimum of one secondary suite or detached accessory dwelling unit, a minimum of three-tofour dwelling units on a lot, or a minimum of six dwelling units in areas near bus stops with frequent transit service, depending on location.

Council gives final approval for revised below-market housing

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta council last week unanimously approved a revised second phase of a large below-market housing redevelopment project underway in Ladner.

The rezoning and development amendment will see a six-storey development containing 138 apartment units for Phase 2 of the Evergreen Lane project, located at the southern section of the first phase in 4600block of Evergreen Lane. It will include a mix of one, two and threebedroom units.

This proposal follows a previous application by the owner, Dogwood Holdings Society, for a 198-unit, two-phase, non-market rental apart-

ment building development, which was approved by council in July 2022.

The first phase is currently under construction and includes 130 seniors housing units in a fourstorey apartment building on the north portion of the site. The second phase was approved for 68 family housing units in a 48-unit four-storey apartment building and a 20-unit three-storey townhouse building on the south portion of the site.

Phase 2 has not started and since the original project was approved, economic and affordable housing need conditions have changed and additional BC Housing funding became available, according to the planning department.

The applicant identified an opportunity to respond to current housing needs by requesting additional density and height to increase the affordable housing supply and economic viability for the project. The applicant subsequently proposed modifying the second phase, which is focused on seniors and families.

The owner proposed operating all of the 138 dwelling units at affordable rental rates moving forward. BC Housing is providing a grant for the project, as well as an ongoing operating subsidy to ensure affordability is maintained.

A public hearing on the revised plan was not held as the proposal was consistent with the Official Community Plan.

Council holds emergency meeting on TransLink funding

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

If you think traffic going through the George Massey Tunnel is bad enough now, just wait for the impact of even more vehicles if TransLink carries through with massive service cuts.

That was one of the warnings made at a special meeting of council Tuesday to discuss the worrisome prospect of major region-wide reductions that TransLink has warned could happen unless a sustainable funding solution from government arrives.

Facing a funding gap of approximately $600 million, the transit authority reported to the Mayors Council last week of

potential cuts that that would be devastating, prompting Delta Coun. Dylan Kruger to call the meeting of council to discuss the cities strategy.

Noting a half-million people in the region would be affected, Mayor George Harvie, a member of the Mayors Council, said that May 2024 traffic figures for the tunnel indicate 90,465 vehicles per day travelled through the crossing, up around 5,000 from the same time last year. Council agreed to spread the word to all residents about what the community is facing as part of a lobby effort to the provincial government, as well as those seeking office in October’s provincial election.

Delta is also asking that all other municipal councils follow suit.

The Delta Chamber of Commerce will also coordinate a meeting with its members.

Saying suburbs like Delta would be especially hit hard, Kruger added that residents who don’t take public transit should also be concerned at the prospect of more drivers on the roads, clogging up already congested routes like the Massey Tunnel and Alex Fraser Bridge.

He said what is needed is a new funding structure that provides certainty for TransLink.

Harvie agreed, adding one-off funding is not viable and “constantly getting a new package of Band Aids isn’t working at all.”

Delta allows food trucks to set up on certain city streets, parks

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta residents will finally be able to grab a bite from a food truck and mobile vendor.

Council on Monday approved a pilot program allowing food trucks at a variety of designated locations throughout the city.

In Ladner, vendors will be allowed in such places as the Chisholm Street Wharf and the Stokes Plaza, while they will also be allowed to operate on various streets in Tilbury and Annacis Island.

Delta staff determined the best locations for mobile vendors in North Delta and Tsawwassen are all located in parks.

Metro Vancouver, meanwhile, has a pilot

program allowing mobile food vendors to operate at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen.

Both programs are to run until Oct 14.

As far as the Delta program, the new policy

requires mobile food and beverage vendors who wish to operate their businesses on city streets or in parks to apply for and receive a special permit.

A report notes that the Ladner Business Association, Delta Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Delta were aware the pilot program was being proposed and have been concurrently discussing the program with members.

The city will also get input from residents, local businesses and mobile vendors during the pilot program.

Coun. Dylan Kruger noted council also recently legalized busking, another move to help create more vibrant spaces in Delta.

OPINION

Too little, too late Metro

IEditor’s

t’s an organization whose spending is out of control.

For the past two months, this newspaper, alongside our team of investigative reporters from Glacier Media and other Lower Mainland journalists, have put the spotlight on the out-of-control spending and mismanagement at Metro Vancouver.

It all started here in Delta, in May, when several councillors put in place sanctions on Mayor George Harvie, with one of those sanctions removing him as Delta’s representative at Metro. Since Harvie was the board chair, he was out as chair too.

During the meeting in North Delta, it came to light that Harvie was to be part of a delegation going to Amsterdam for a conference.

After more questions, Harvie pulled out of the trip, but that didn’t stop four other Lower Mainland mayors who are their cities’ reps on Metro, along with three Metro staffers, from making the trip.

Costs of that trip have yet to be disclosed, but a lot of other exorbitant expenses for other international travel have been, including a $64,000 mix-and-mingle event at a conference in Toronto last year.

All of this is coming to light as costs are ballooning on the North Shore wastewater treatment plant that taxpayers across the Lower Mainland will be on the hook for.

With the heat rising on recently elected chair Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley, last week, Hurley ordered a pause on all international travel by the Metro board and its committee members, while policies and spending limits are reviewed.

This review is overdue, but the damage and financial hit to taxpayers has already been done. This review is one of just several that need to take place and which need to be done by outside third parties, who have no ties or connections to Metro Vancouver, or any of its directors.

Metro Vancouver is a mess and it’s going to take a lot more than a travel pause and cutting out the wine and cheese parties to fix it.

Valuing emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence — what is it, and why is it so important?

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.

It includes self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication.

In a world dominated by technology and rapid advancements, emotional intelligence is a vital part of personal and professional success, yet it often takes a backseat.

Despite its importance, emotional intelligence is often overlooked. Many organizations prioritize technical skills and academic achievements, neglecting the human aspect that drives successful interactions and relationships. This oversight can lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and a lack of harmony, both

Community Comment

at work and in personal life.

Consider our community here in Delta.

Amidst the city’s growth and development, and the controversial topics that sometimes divide our community, the need for emotionally intelligent individuals is essential.

Whether it’s a local business owner navigating customer relations or a teacher connecting with students, it’s the ability to understand what truly shapes the prog-

ress of our community.

In the workplace, emotionally intelligent leaders are better equipped to handle stress, resolve conflicts, and inspire their teams. They create a culture of trust and respect, essential for any organization’s success.

In Delta, organizations that prioritize emotional intelligence in their hiring and training processes often see higher employee satisfaction and retention rates.

As a community, we need to recognize and value emotional intelligence. It should be nurtured from a young age and integrated into our educational systems and workplace cultures. By doing so, we not only improve individual well-being but also build a stronger, more resilient community.

Dogs: Don’t sniff foxtails

Editor:

On a recent afternoon walk with our chocolate lab, we noticed he had sniffed a foxtail (the tip of a blade of spear grass) up one of his nostrils.

Within seconds it was no longer visible, and he was sneezing uncontrollably and unwilling to open his mouth for water.

Foxtails have become much more visible around Ladner this summer, with a particularly high cluster around the public parking lot at Chisholm and Elliott streets.

The leaves are sharp and commonly get stuck in fur, and if the grass has been cut and the trimmings left, the spears can easily be snorted up by our unsuspecting pets.

Once inside, they can cause harmful infections, or worse.

Despite catching it as it happened, the foxtail was still too far up our dog’s nose to extract it easily.

A trip to the vet, a rhinoscopy, and

Resident will be avoiding walks along Chisholm Street until the cold weather returns and the foxtails disappear.

nearly $2K later, we had our weary boy back, along with a container holding the offending spear.

I know we’ll be avoiding walks along Chisholm Street until the cold weather returns and the foxtails disappear.

Angela an incredible person

Editor:

To all those mean-spirited persons who believe Angela’s Corner should be paid for by the City of Delta, I want to be in the room when you realize it’s your taxpayer money paying for it.

This memorial to Angela is brought forward by the countless people she impacted.

This includes fellow business associates, family, friends, customers, employees, group and association members and the numerous people that she always helped in times of need.

What impact have you, dear reader, done over 40 years to benefit your community and fellow man?

She was loved and beloved.

The money, and then some, was raised in less than 24 hours.

If you don’t want to contribute, then don’t, but don’t let your cold hearts poison a tribute to an incredible person and a remarkable human being.

Use car only when needed

Editor:

Not sure why people complain about having “only” three lanes each way in the tunnel.

Sure, you could build 10 lanes for future growth, although those wide roads would take out a lot of productive farmland. And guess

what? When you get to Oak Street Bridge you’re still going to back up because, it’s only four lanes and that isn’t going to change. Plenty of research shows that when you expand roadways, the traffic quickly increases to plug it up again. The best thing about

Fundraiser for Ladner business owner’s legacy a quick success

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

A Delta city councillor, who helped organize a

local fundraiser to support Angela Husvik’s legacy, is thanking the community.

During council’s meet-

ing on July 22, Coun. Dylan Kruger said a GoFundMe fundraiser that began earlier in the day saw all $3,000 needed for a memorial bench with plaque donated.

“Angela’s Boutique was more than just a store; it was a cornerstone of the community. Angela’s service with the Ladner Business Association and her commitment to various local initiatives reflected her deep love for Ladner. Her vibrant fashion shows brought joy to countless families, enhancing the community spirit, said Kruger when the fundraiser was launched.

Husvik, who owned Angela’s Boutique in

Ladner Village, passed away on March 15, 2024 following a battle with cancer.

Assisting the family, community members and businesses in the effort, Kruger spread the word about the fundraiser on social media to install a bench outside Husvik’s store.

Later in the day at council, he noted the cost is part of Delta’s Park Asset Donation Program in which families can purchase such memorials for loved ones, and the amount was raised within six hours. The effort saw 50 individuals donate to the cause.

A small surplus of

$250 will be donated to the Orange Shirt Society in Angela’s name at (https://orangeshirtday. org/).

At the start of the fundraising campaign, he also noted the community is also rallying to name the corner of Bridge and Delta streets “Angela’s Corner” as a lasting tribute.

Kruger also reminded residents to mark their calendars for Fashion Fest at the Bridge Street Pop-Up Park on Aug. 10.

At 5 p.m., prior to the fashion show, Camille Turner from Camille’s Boutique will be holding a memorial for Husvik.

The fashion show will begin at 5:45 p.m. and there will also be entertainment throughout the event starting at 4 p.m. There will also be food trucks on site and a family street dance with lots of prizes up for grabs starting at 6:15 p.m.

Southpointe to get new pedestrian bridge

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta council earlier this month approved a recommendation for the city to enter a licence of occupation with the Tsawwassen Independent School Society for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a pedestrian footbridge along the boundary line between the Southpointe Academy school prop-

McValue Meals

erty and Grauer Park. A report to council notes that pedestrian connectivity to the park is poor and students at the 56th Street private school regularly access the site but are currently required to travel along a roadway shared with motor vehicles.

The school last year contacted the city, requesting approval to construct an 18-metrelong bridge over an existing city maintained

irrigation/drainage ditch located along the boundary line of land owned by the City of Delta and the school’s property.

Staff concur that, in addition to providing improved and safer pedestrian access between the two properties, there are no negative impacts to city operations at the park or the irrigation/drainage system, the report notes.

As part of the licence, the society will be

required to construct and maintain the bridge throughout the term, which was proposed at a period of 25 years, beginning Aug 1, 2024 and ending on July 31, 2049.

The licence contains the terms and conditions granted by the city, including non-exclusive use and rights of public access.

The licence fee is $1 for the duration of the term.

Dog days of summer have eased with easier canine crossing rules at U.S. border

PHIL MELNYCHUK pmelnychuk@delta-optimist.com

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is making it easier to bring Foofoo and Rex across the border but the president of the chamber of commerce in Point Roberts says that’s not enough.

“Nothing less than a complete exemption for dog owners from Canada is acceptable,” said Brian Calder.

“The unnecessary U.S. government proposed regulation will bring further economic devastation to U.S. border communities like Point Roberts, which continue to suffer the economic after-shock of the 20-month border lockdown,” from the pandemic, Calder said.

Calder has long advo-

cated for more relaxed measures at the border that Point Roberts shares with Delta, B.C., saying that in the past 30 months, business activity has dropped by half.

In a news release July 22, the CDC says it has clarified and simplified bringing dogs into the U.S. from rabies-free or low-risk countries, such as Canada.

Under the change, dogs must still have a microchip and be older than six months. But if they’ve been in a lowrisk rabies country such as Canada for at least six months, owners only need to show a receipt for a CDC Dog Import Form in order to cross the border.

That form can be filled out on the day of travel and the receipt can be shown by phone or on

paper to airlines and border officials, said the CDC. The receipt also will be good for six months and for multiple entries.

The Dog Import form asks for personal information from the owner and the dog’s name with other information listed as optional. The form doesn’t ask if the animal has been vaccinated or not.

Previously, dog owners had to get more detailed documentation, including from veterinarians.

“These updates incorporate the feedback received from the public, industry partners, and various countries on the dog importation rule, and clarify and simplify the processes for those bringing dogs from dog rabies-free or low-risk countries,” CDC said.

Dogs will have an easier time getting to the U.S. with simpler rules.

Design team chosen for new Fraser River Tunnel

MARIA RANTANEN Richmond News

The provincial government has chosen a team to design the new eightlane immersed tube tunnel that will replace the George Massey Tunnel connecting Richmond and Delta.

Cross Fraser Partnership, which is comprised of four companies, Bouygues Construction Canada Inc., Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas Canada Ltd., Pomerleau BC Inc. and Arcadis Canada Inc., has been chosen by the province for this next phase of the project.

The project is now entering the development phase, which includes the tunnel design and an agreement between the province and Cross Fraser Partnership on project costs and risks.

The final design and cost submission will culminate in a design-build

agreement, the province noted in its announcement Tuesday.

The tunnel replacement is budgeted to cost $4.15 billion and to be completed in 2030.

In advance of tunnel construction, the province is delivering several corridor improvements along this vital

stretch of Hwy. 99.

Transit and cycling upgrades along Hwy. 99 have been completed and the first half of the Steveston Interchange Project is expected to be completed this year.

In June 2024, crews began erecting the 21 concrete girders that will support the first half of the new interchange.

Steveston Highway traffic will then move on to the new structure so the old overpass can be removed, and work can

begin on the second segment. The interchange is expected to be finished in 2025.

Preloading of soil for an additional southbound lane between the Westminster and Steveston highways starts his summer.

The additional Hwy. 99 lane will result in eight lanes from Westminster Highway, in Richmond, to Ladner Trunk Road in Delta, once the new eight-lane tunnel is in place in 2030.

Townhouses get preliminary approval

hearing is no longer required.

Delta council has given preliminary approval for another new townhouse complex in Ladner.

The application by Maple Leaf Homes Ladner would see a 40-unit development at 4876, 4888, 4896, 4906, 4918, 4928 and 4938 57th St. The almost 70,000-square-foot site is located one block to the north of Ladner Trunk Road.

The existing singlefamily houses would be torn down.

The plan will see the three- and four-bedroom townhouses on one lot consolidated from the seven, single-family lots.

The current zoning of the site is Duplex/Single Detached Residential 3 (RD3), which is intended for single detached or duplex housing.

The proposed development is consistent with the sites land use designation in the updated Official Community Plan, which means a public

Competitive zeal

My family enjoys watching the athletes compete in the Olympics. The display of remarkable agility, strength, and stamina causes us to “ooh” and “aah” as we cheer on the athletes who have trained for this moment through sweat and tears.

As I watch the events with my children, it’s been a great opportunity to show them the value of hard work. No athlete slacks off as they prepare for the Olympics. In fact, you can see their competitiveness in their performances.

The bible claims that hard work and zeal are necessary for our society to flourish.

weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

As athletes persevere for the gold, we ought to persistently fight for doing good in this world.

God also teaches us to, “love one another

with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.” (Rom. 12:10-11).

Talk about competitive fire!

The world was never designed for us to be lazy. Although I have previously written about the importance of rest to combat the temptation of workaholism, that does not mean that the bible commends a lifestyle of slothfulness.

Contrarily, the bible teaches us the value of hard work and training for righteousness. So, let’s go out there and outdo one another in showing honour and loving one another with fervour and persistence.

Long-awaited Southlands restaurant and brewery getting ready to open its doors

The Four Winds Beach House & Brewery has been eight years in the making

MICHAEL WHITE Contributing Writer

After eight years of planning, daydreaming, government obstacles and a global pandemic, Delta’s own Four Winds Brewing Co. is about to unveil its long-awaited Four Winds Beach House & Brewery, located at 6350 Market Ave., in Tsawwassen’s Southlands development.

Its projected opening is in the first week of August; an exact date is still to come.

The multi-awardwinning craft brewery first conceived the idea in 2014, following a conversation with real estate developer Century Group.

Century Group’s Southlands project, which combines residential and commercial properties, is North America’s largest community deliberately rooted in food and farm-

ing. Its 530-plus acres is directly adjacent to Boundary Bay Regional Park and Centennial Beach, and 80 percent of the site is public land.

Adam Mills, co-owner of Four Winds, says the Beach House was originally meant to open in 2021 or 2022, but Delta council rejected the first proposed structure in May 2019 for being too large.

Then the pandemic arrived.

But rather than bring the project to a halt, the pandemic provided Mills and his colleagues the opportunity to “go back to the drawing board,” he says, and design a smaller version that could still adequately accommodate a restaurant and a brewing facility.

“Basically, this entire project was planned through the pandemic — everything from financial details to the business plan, the architectural

plans and working with Century Group,” says Mills. “It was extra stressful, because here we were planning this very lofty project, and it was hard to know what the future would hold.

“But we were optimistic. We’ve always really believed in this project.”

Mills is especially excited that the Beach House will be in Southlands, which was always Four Winds’ first choice.

“We had our eye on this development since its inception,” he says.

“Being from Tsawwassen — we were raised here and we’re raising our own families here. And Southlands is such a cool concept, seeing this sort of stagnant farmland transformed into a productive 500-some-odd acres. And there’s something special about the land here. It has a unique feeling to it.”

Mills adds that the

Beach House’s proximity to bountiful farmland means many of the crops grown nearby will find their way into the beers and food menu.

He describes the Beach House as “a West Coast interpretation of a European beer hall tradition. We’re doing a lot of traditional Europeaninspired beers, but then we’re juxtaposing that with the other half of our beer menu, which is modern beers — all kinds of innovative, interesting new takes.”

The Beach House will also have a cocktail program, and a wine list made up exclusively of B.C. bottles.

Meanwhile, the food menu is “inspired by the land and sea that surrounds us,” meaning guests can expect the likes of Salt Spring Island mussels, locally caught seafood, fish and chips, burgers, salads, bar snacks and more.

And fans of the original Four Winds taproom, on 72nd Street, needn’t worry. It will continue as always, with rotating beers on tap and a menu featuring tacos, quesadillas, burritos and burgers. “We look forward to opening our doors and being here for a long time,” says Mills. “We can’t wait to serve our community.”

Tsawwassen Sun Festival returns for its 52nd year

MICHAEL WHITE Contributing Writer

The Tsawwassen Sun Festival — one of Delta’s most popular and longest-running summer events — will be returning for its 52nd edition from Saturday, Aug. 3, to Monday, Aug. 5.

Each year, thousands of families, couples and individuals from across the Lower Mainland come to Tsawwassen to enjoy the festival’s diverse roster of attractions, from long-running cornerstones like the Rotary Parade and Slo-Pitch Tournament, to newer additions including the

classic car show, skateboard competition and pickleball tournament.

Most of the festival’s attractions take place in and around Winskill Park, on 56 St. between 8 and 12 Aves.

Steve Scott, Treasurer for the Tsawwassen Sun Festival Committee, knows the festival and its history better than most. He first became involved with the committee in the 1990s, then returned in 2010 and has been a part of it every year since. (He also lives a stone’s throw from Winskill Park. “It’s basically our backyard,” he says.)

Scott has taken great

pride in watching the festival grow throughout many decades, adding new attractions and drawing larger crowds seemingly every year. It also returned triumphantly

from the pandemic, having been cancelled in 2020 and held virtually in 2021. This year’s festival is primed to be the biggest and best yet.

Brand new this year

is a drone show, taking place Aug. 4 next to the South Delta Recreation Centre, beginning at 10 p.m. A modern, exciting and more environmentally friendly alternative to fireworks, it features, Scott says, “200 drones that act simultaneously. Each of them is programmed individually, but they rise as a unit 400 feet into the air and change colour and direction. It’s a great addition to the festival.”

Meanwhile, the always popular Outdoor Movie Night (Aug. 3, beginning at dusk) returns this year in a new location: Southlands Grange. People of all ages are

Happy SunFest!

invited to gather under the night sky and enjoy the animated blockbuster, Trolls.

True to its name, the Sun Festival tends to always be blessed with clear blue skies and warm temperatures, which is why attendees appreciate being able to unwind and cool down at the shaded Beer Garden (ages 19 and over) and the Children’s Midway. Plus, Winskill Park is home to plenty of old-growth trees that provide a perfect retreat from the heat.

Sun Festival’s Classic Car Show revs

up for its ninth year

MICHAEL WHITE Contributing Writer

For many years, when the summer weather allows, Steve Whitelaw and some of his fellow classic-car enthusiasts have been getting together on Wednesday and Friday nights — usually in the parking lot of the Tsawwassen A&W or Ladner Dairy Queen — to show one another (and curious passersby) their prized four-wheeled possessions. They admire them, talk about how they acquired them and the work they

put into restoring them, and fantasize about other rare autos they hope to own someday.

Delta is home to a surprising number of vintage-vehicle enthusiasts.

Whitelaw himself has

eight of them, describing cars as “a hobby I’ve had since the beginning of time. I think I was born with gasoline in my veins.”

The Sun Festival Classic Car Show is a major highlight of this year’s festival. It takes place at Winskill Park on Monday, Aug. 5.

TSAWWASSEN SUNFESTIVAL 2024

CONTINUED from Page 20

So, he was understandably thrilled when, a little over a decade ago, committee members from the Tsawwassen Sun Festival approached Don MacAllister, owner of Don’s Classic Cars & 50s Museum, about adding a classic car show to the festival’s programming. Don, too, was thrilled to make that happen.

In the first year, Whitelaw figures there were fewer than 100 cars on display. Last year, there were more than 200 — everything from perfectly restored ’50s hot rods to modern-day electric cars. At this year’s Sun Festival — the ninth

year for the car show — he expects there to be even more.

And the cars aren’t just from within Delta. Owners from across the Lower Mainland arrive at the festival in their newest or favourite classic car. One collector regularly drives up from Washington State in his ’57 Chevy.

Citing the impressive variety and quality of cars at the festival, Whitelaw says, “We may not be the biggest car show around, but we’re definitely the best.”

He also points out that the Sun Festival’s car show has the added advantage of being held on grass, which provides a much cooler environ-

ment than pavement for both owners and spectators.

Each car is rated by judges on a scale of one to 10 in a specific category, and the winner of each category drives home with a trophy.

The only potential downside of the car show, Whitelaw says, is that it might get too popular.

“One of my biggest fears is that one of these years, 450 cars are going to show up on that field,” he says, laughing. “We may have to turn some away.”

The car show takes place at Winskill Park (5575 9th Ave), on Monday, Aug. 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Malenstyn signs two-year deal with Buffalo Sabres

Delta’s Beck Malenstyn has a new area-code for next year’s NHL season.

During the June NHL draft, the six-foot, 200pound winger from Delta, who is a restricted free agent, was traded from the Washington Capitals to the Buffalo Sabres. The Capitals received the 43rd pick in the draft in return.

Malenstyn was drafted in the fifth round by the Capitals in the 2016 NHL draft.

In the Capitals minor league system, he won the Calder Cup with the Hershey Bears, in 2023, where he scored 10 goals and added eight assists in 60 regular season games and the playoffs.

With the Capitals, he played in 105 games during four seasons, scoring eight goals and 24 points.

On July 23, the Sabres avoided arbitration with Malenstyn, as they signed him to a new, two-year contract worth $2.7 million.

West Coast Polo Fest makes its Delta debut this year

MICHAEL WHITE Contributing Writer

For the first time in its eightyear history, the annual West Coast Polo Fest is going to be held in Delta.

It takes place Aug. 10 and 11, at the Vancouver Polo Club, located at 3948 88th St., in Delta.

Previously, the event had taken place at the Southlands Riding Club in Vancouver. (It debuted in 2014 and was held there every year with the exceptions of 2020 and 2021, when it was cancelled due to COVID.)

Paul Sullivan, co-founder of the club (which, despite its name, has always been based in Delta), says this year’s fest is poised to be the best yet, thanks in part to the VPC’s vastly larger playing field.

“A proper polo field is the

equivalent of nine football fields — about 10 acres,” he explains.

“In Vancouver, we were playing on a field that’s less than one acre. That’s just not as exciting to watch. For horses to get up to full speed, which is 40 miles per hour, you need the space of a proper field.”

Also new at this year’s fest are the additions of a live country-rock band in the afternoon and a DJ at night (Aug. 10 only), as well as food trucks, a beer garden, a margarita bar and more. Although it has a liquor licence, the event is family-friendly and open to all ages.

For an additional cost, attendees have the option of renting a tailgate spot (which includes four generaladmission tickets) as well as a personal or corporate cabana, each of which includes chairs, hay bales, and optional à la

carte additions. Plus, every attendee has the chance of winning a gold bar valued at $3,500.

Despite being a relatively low-profile sport, polo has deep roots in Metro Vancouver, dating back to the 1920s. While

its popularity has ebbed and flowed throughout the past century, Sullivan believes polo is poised for a major comeback.

“Some 40 years ago, there was a different polo club and a different generation of people who played polo in Delta. Then there was a 25-plus-years gap,” he says.

“But every time we bring a group of people to our club in Delta who haven’t seen polo, they’re amazed by how exciting it is. People always, always enjoy the experience.

“We play polo in the summertime every Sunday, at 2 p.m., and the public is welcome to come, bring a picnic and enjoy some time in the country.”
