Deltadoesn’t gettheanswerit hoped on water-lotleases

Delta Mayor George Harvie’s request for longer-term leases on submerged water lots to create more certainty fordevelopment has been rejected by the province.

Nathan Cullen, minister for Water, Landand Resource Stewardship, wrote to the mayor recently listing many factors that affect long-term decisionson water lots

Cullen saidin a July 17 letter to Harviethe lower Fraser Riverestuar y is a complex system, withissues such asdredging and that thearea isofhigh importance to First Nations, when itcomes to landtitle, climate change, archaeology and impactsfromprevious use.

As well, the government has heard from First Nationsthat offering long-term leases can affect a First Nation’s ability to exercise itsfuture rights.

Theprovinceadecadeagotook overmanagingthe foreshores buthadn’tofferedcurrentorprospective leaseholders long-termtenure.

Giving up long-term control of submerged lots can limit the tools available for navigation, economicdevelopment and environmental management, Cullen said.

Given the value ofthe lower Fraser River estuary,the minis-

try,“worksto ensure decisions regarding theuse ofthisare considered in a mannerthat supports economicactivity, environmental sustainability and reconciliation with First Nations,” said Cullen.

As well,leasesthat stretch

beyond30 years start to look like straight forward land ownership, he said.

The issue has influenced development of Delta’s riverfront for several years. In 2017, made a submission to the Unionof B.C. Municipalities ontheissue withthecity saying that the inability to have longer term leases will limit redevelopment ontheLadner waterfront.

Without long-term tenure, the Delta-owned properties at the Seven Seas site inLadner, which was put upfor sale with thehopesofencouraging redevelopment, wasn’tan attractive place to invest.

Harviewrote to theprovincial government this April, asking that theprovincefind a way ofcreating long-term certainty for lease holders on water lots that would encourage investment.

“Such conditions have not only stifled waterfront develop-

ment proposals, but have also placed undue strainon local government efforts towards community revitalization,” Harviewrote.

Harvie saidthat hecommended the government for engaging with First Nations, “However, amidst these positive strides, theneed for an expedited tenurereplacement process that balancesthe interests of all stakeholders— providing long-term certainty for leaseholders, facilitating waterfront development, and honouring First Nationsconsultations remains pressing,” Harvie said.

Harvie also notes without long-term water lot leases, float-home owners can’t secure affordable financing.

However, Cullen replied that float homesare notconsidered part ofthe solutions to address housing needs because of environmentalanddredging issues.

A pairofdevelopment applications by Shato Holdingsthathave already moved close to final approvalisnow being revised by the applicant.

A report to councilnotesthe revisions to the applications have been received with “significant changes” following third reading oftheirproposed zoning amendment bylaws.

One ofthe applicationsinvolves two proposed six-storey apartment buildingsinthe4800-block of53rd Street and 5300-block ofLadnerTrunk Road.

Following a publichearing, council had givenpreliminar y approval to an Official Community Plan(OCP) amendment fortheproject that would have seen124 marketcondos and87 secured rentalunits

The proposed changes include increasing the numberofunits to 222, none ofwhich includes rentalunits.

Theother applicationincludesa residentialdevelopment fronting the Cascades Casino Delta.

The City of Deltaishostinga public informationnext weekfor aproposed rental apartment building inLadner at the site of a heritage structure to be demolished.

Having 81 residentialunits, the purpose-built rentalcomplex would be located at 4501 ArthurDr.,the site ofthe former Delta Lodge seniors’ care facility. It would have four storeys of rental units andone with parking.

The information sessiontakes place at thenearby Harris Barn (4140 Arthur Dr.)on Wednesday, Aug. 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The vacant existing house onthe site, the Westhome Residence, would be torn down.

The house islisted on Delta’s Heritage Register andlocated withintheLadner Heritage ConservationArea.

The Westhome Residence was built for DavidAlexander McKee, son of John McKee, who purchased the property from WilliamLadnerin1904and built thehomein1905 The McKees soldthe house in1925

Thearchitecturalstyleoftheold house,whichunder wentmodificationswhenitbecamea care home,is Tudor Revival.

It remaineda private residence with several different owners until 1964, whenit became a careresidence. The Lord familytook ownershipthat year and called thefacility Melodie Court.

Subsequent owners continued the business untilit was eventually called Delta Lodge.

The care home business was relocated overdecade ago after Fraser Healthidentified the replacement ofthe aging Ladnerfacility as a highpriority. The health region at thetimenoted the building would have required significant

upgrades to remain a care facility.

The privately-owned site was subsequently sold.

A subdivision application was later submitted that would have accommodated theheritage structure. That applicationincluded seven single-detached bare land stratalotsandcommon property fordriveway access offArthur Drive

The application received third reading by councilin November2017, but it was abandoned andtheproperty was sold yet again.

Three years ago, thecity received a development application to construct a 61-bed community care facility at the property

That applicationproposed a new three-storey building withonelevel of under-building parking.

The heritage house would have been located closer to ArthurDrive and fully restored as part ofthe care facility, but that applicationnever proceeded.

The City of Delta is currently gathering feedback on a proposed market rental apartment complexfor a vacant site in Ladner.

Called The Landing II, the rezoning and development variance application would seea six-storey purpose-built 78-unit rental building at a loton5737Ladner Trunk Rd.

The project would include 40 residential, two visitorand five rideshare parking spaces. The application would see the site rezoned to a new Comprehensive Development Zone (CDZ).

According to the planning department, thedevelopment is consistent withthe Neighbourhood Centres and Corridors (NC) land use designationinthe newOfficial Community

Plan(OCP).

A publicinformation meeting will be heldon Thursday, Aug. 15from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Delta Manor Education Centre multi-purpose roomlocated at 4750 57th St.

Meanwhile, city council recently gave preliminar y approvalfor a new standard Apartment Residential 6 (RA6) Zone to enable six-storey multi-unit apartment buildingsundertheNC

designation. It isintended for residentialdevelopmentsup tosix-storeys along arterial streetsand collector streets.

TheRA6 Zone has beencreated based on recent applicationsand over a dozen similarCDZ zonesfor six-storey residentialandmixed-use developmentspreviously approved acrossDelta, theplanning department explains

The new zone would apply to residentialproj-

repairs.

A planning department report at thetimenoted that whilethe applicant forthe latest proposalprovided aninspection report documenting the deteriorating conditionoftheexisting building, staffencouraged the applicant to consider retention, restorationand integrationofthehouse withtheproposed development, and to engage a heritage professional to provide a more substantive heritage evaluation report with possiblemitigationand restoration recommendations Staff toldcouncilthey woulddiscuss withthe applicant potential options, but Mayor George Harvie at themeeting described thehouse as“rotting” and having long heldupdevelopment at the property.

According to theplanning department, the site underthe recently updated Official Community Plan (OCP)designatestheproperty as Mixed Residential. The current application would require an OCP amendment tochange the landuse designation to Neighbourhood Centres and Corridors to permittheproposed height and built form.

Locatednexttoa 7-Eleven,andneartheintersectionat 57thStreet,theproposal wouldbe consis-

ectsonly,and a separate zone would be required to enable a mixed-use form withofficeor retail commercialuses.

Townhomes approvedonsiteof former Delta seniors’ care facility

Deltacouncil has unanimously approved a new townhouse development inLadner, but onecouncillor expressed frustrationthat a plan to build a new seniors’ care facilityat the location had been scrapped.

The townhouse project, called Wildwood Townhouses, will be located on a vacant site at 4900 Central Ave., behindtheTrenant Park Square shopping mall.

The 40-unit development willconsist of six, three-storey buildings, 80 residential parking spacesandninevisitor parking spaces Vehicularand pedestrian access to thedevelopment will be from Central Avenue.

The reasoning consistent withthe site’s designationundertheOfficial Community Plan(OCP).

However, whilehe supported the application, Coun. Dylan Kruger said he remainsupset a previously approved application to redevelop a seniors’ care facility there was cancelled.

So, now there’s a townhouse application but it’s unacceptable what has happened to those seniors and,frankly, seniors in our community deser ve betterthan whathappened,” saidKruger.

Mayor George Harvie saidtheanswer to why the West Shore Laylum seniors’ care home planon Central Avenue was scrapped can be found by looking at Fraser Health’s lack offunding

In 2019,council approved a redevelopment applicationforthe 55-bed West Shore Laylumfacility at the Central Avenue site.

Builtinthe early 1970s, thefacility was to be demolished and replaced with a newthree-storey, 74-bed community care facility.

The residentsoftheLadnerfacility wererelocated to a space at the Suncrest Retirement Community,located on King George Boulevard in Surrey

“We havesuch a shortage asitexists today oflong-term care bedsin Delta, letalonewhat is going to be needed for what we know is a rapidly aging populationin our community,in our region andin our country,” headded. Noting the redevelopment and expansionof Mountain View Manor at Delta Hospitalis still years away,

The move out to Surrey was meant to be only temporar y andthey were to move back to thenewLadnerfacility oncecompleted The old building was subsequently demolished but the site remained vacant.

Last year, families were notified that the redevelopment was notproceeding, andthe relocated residents would be remaining atSuncrest.

The development permit was subsequently cancelled,andthe site was sold to a developer.

Governmentsshould prioritizelocal media foradvertisingspending

TheGovernmentofOntario recentlydirecteditsCrowncorporationstospend aquarterof theiradvertisingbudgets with localmedia.Theumbrellagroup that representstraditionalmedia, News MediaCanada, isencouragingotherprovinces to followsuit. Thissupportisnothingnewor unique.

Overdecades –indeed,going back nearly250 years–governmentassistanceofmedia throughadvertisinghas been common, mainlybecause it has beenaneffectiveway to convey relevant publicinformation. Thereisn’t abusiness alive thatdoesn’tqualifyfortaxtreatmentthat mostindividuals wouldconsiderpreferential.

In recentyears,thefederal governmentbegan subsidizing journalism salaries.Mostmedia inthiscountr ybenefitfrom a

labourtaxcreditfor newsroom employees :upto35percentof salaries,withaceilingofanyone making $85,000annually,meaningasubsidyofupto$29,750.

Andunder recentfederallegislation, Googlenowfurnishes $100millionannuallyto media, disbursed by anindependent mediacollective, underits exemptionfrom afederal law that requires mandator yagreements with publishers.

Speaking as ajournalist, and notas someonewho hasto worr yaboutthe balancesheet, ouroccupationisplacedinan uncomfortablesituation withthe labour subsidy.

It createsinsomeminds a perceived conflict ofinterest and the appearanceofthefinancial backingofPrime MinisterJustin Trudeau –andthe appearance that the supportcomes with a priceonindependenceandfairnessinreporting. People have always squawked aboutsoft

mediacoverageofgovernments, butthesedaysany stor ythat doesn’ttackleTrudeau comes under withering criticismas evidenceweare inhis pocket.

Therehavebeensignificant increasesinthe workloadof a typical journalist, due mainlyto the reductioninthe size ofnewsrooms,due mainlytothedecline inadvertising revenue. Google and Facebook carr ymorethan 80 percentofthecountry’sonline advertising,using those tech stacksto helpadvertiserstarget specific audiencesfortheir goods and services.

This cheaperdelivery system hasundercutprint andbroadcast advertising.Theimpact has hurt disproportionatelyata local level, wherethereisasmaller base of business. Thebusinessof localmedia hasbeenlooking for a wayoutofthe woodsfor some timenow,anddurableanswers escape theindustry.

What’s clearisthatitisn’t pos-

sible to reversetheadvertising lossesthatthe tech giants gained, so medianeednew sourcesof revenuetopay forjournalism

Thus,atthischallenging economiccrossroad,as itsorts out the business solution,theindustr yhaslittle choice buttoturn to government– at leasttemporarily.

Whichiswhy governments –and politiciansofall stripes –shouldfavour policiesthat supportlocal businesseslike hometownmedia,notthefarflungtechgiants, ifthey’regoing to spendtopromotetheirnonpartisanactivities.

Providedit’sdone at arm’s length,Ontario’s approach would be areasonable strategy here to encouragenewandexisting mediawith agreater chance to sustainitself.

On several occasions, South Delta Mealson Wheels has madean appeal to the publicfor financial support.

The resultofthat appeal has beenincredible The funds received allowed us to continue to servea daily hotmeal to someofthemost vulnerablein our community.

Thistime, however, our appeal isdifferent.

It isnotmoney weseek, but additionaldrivers to delivermeals If, forany reason,any of our current drivers isunable to continue, we arein deep trouble because we have noonewho can stepin to fillthat void.

Thismeans our operation willgrind to a halt,

and our customer-base will be withouttheir regular hotmeals foran indefinite period.

Our federaldebt will cost us over$40billion in interest this yearandMPs will voteto approve this, as they have overprevious years, yet they lookforward to $9,000-a-month pensions.

In thefuture, while the MPs collecttheir

pensions, the massive debt will have to be paid by selling offassetsand defunding services

How about we get the MPs to passa law to use allof their pensions to pay down thedebt?

We will see ifthey care more for themselves than Canadians, asthey prob-

ably won’tdothis.

Increasingly, wesee we are helpless andthat our politiciansare untouchableand out of touch.

Ifthey vote noonthe budget, that willtrigger anelection andthey’ll lose theirgravy-train pensions.

Waterfrontleases shouldbe explored

The following letter was sent to Delta council and copied to Delta Optimist.

As a former owner of waterfront property, namely Massey’s Machine Shop, at 4915 Chisholm St., I urge you to seek outa joint proposal with First Nations, the provincialandfederal governments, andprivate property owners in

a manner to developthe Ladner waterfront properties

It could be a waterfront property assembly and development proposal that would be in keeping with First Nations’ aspirationsandthefishinghistory that began over150 years ago.

The Massey family was involved inthe serving of

bothnon-aboriginaland aboriginalfishing families involved inthecommercialfishing industry for some68 years andfeels that a joint waterfront development would be the only viable way to proceed, giventhe economic andphysical status of the propertiesinvolved

LiberalMPbacks herleaderdespite his unpopularity

Delta city council se ems to have lost hope for a se condex it at River RoadwhenthenewFraser River tunnel is built, but Delta’s representative in Ottawa remains positive that the cheque isin the mail.

Her most up-to-date conversation indicatesthat theprocess is continuing fortheproject, as is any future funding announcement fromthe government.

“There is no issue. There are no re d flags,” said Carla Qualtrough, Liberal MP andfederal sports minister.

She saidin a re cent interview with the Optimist that she has noconcerns at all about federalmone y being availablefortheproject.

“Absolutely, my expectation is before the(B.C.)ele ction, (in October) there will be a public announcement, butI can’t guarante e that But it ’s happening,” Qualtrough said.

Deltacouncil is tr ying to geta me eting withTransportation and Infrastructure Minister RobFleming

to dis cuss the issue at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September.

AndtheTransportation Investment Corp. has toldcouncil it ’s procee ding withthe tunnel’s environmental ass essment andprocurement forthe project as it currently stands, without thefullex it at River Road,unless the province says it has thefederalmoney.

Mayor Ge orge Harvie has said previously that he’s lost confidence in the federal government.

Qualtrough spoke during a midsummerbreak for Parliament and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plummeting in the polls

Qualtroughthough is committe d to the Liberal leader.

“Thepr imeminister hasmy full suppor t,” she said, adding the re cent byele ction loss in a Liberal stronghold in Toronto in June wasa toughloss andnot the outcomethe y wanted.

The Angus Reid Institute’s Trudeau Tracker shows a 66 percent disapproval rating in April, while only 28 percent approved.

Qualtrough saidit ’s up to the

Liberal party to work to restore support and confidence among voters

“We have to dowhat it takes to show Canadiansthat we want to make life easierandmore fair for ever yone. That ’s where the work ne eds to be done,” she said.

Following a cabinetand caucus retreat, she expectsthe party to come back to Parliament in mid-September with a new strategy.

She said thepr ior ity should be to deliveron their promis esand to get out thenews about polic y successes.

The government re cently announce d that open-net salmon aquaculture onthe B.C. coast will be banne d by June2029.

The process wasn’tas quick as many would like but it takes time to make thetransition in a large industr y in a responsible way,sheadded.

Qualtrough is vice-chair ofthe global affairs and public se curity committe e in cabinet anddoesn’tknow the namesand said shedoesn’t have a position on releasing the namesof MPs accus ed of conniving withforeigngovernmentsandhesitates to say

yes until sheunderstandstheconsequences of releasing the names

She said sheunderstandsthe inclination to want transparency.

“But I’m completely open to being convince d that it should be done andthat there are safeguardsthat we couldus e to doing it,” she said,adding shedoesn’t have confidence yet that releasing the names willnot je opardize national se curity or individuals’ safety.

But sheals o wants Conser vative leader Pier re Poilievre to get se curity clearance so that he can read the June report done by the National Se curity and Intelligence Committe e of Parliamentar ians which said that someMPs are, knowingly ornot, collaborating in foreign interference.

Then perhaps politicalleaders can meetand dis cuss

“I think it ’s super convenient that he’s not getting that clearance. It allows him to cr iticize andnot be part ofthe solution,” she said. “I wishhe would just get the clearance, readthe namesandthentake an infor me d position.”

Heritage Minutes in Delta

CONTINUED: From P.1

Hamilton wasa Canadianartist whotravelled to the battlefields just afterthe First World War ended in1918. Day after day,for more than a year, shelived among the ruins topaint thebloody hangoverfrom years of trench warfare, creating about 350 works, with paintings such asthe Trenchesonthe Somme becoming famous. Canada Post in2020,featured theimage onone of its stamps

Historica CEO Anthony Wilson-Smith saidwhileher paintings were well received after the war, they decreased in popularity as people wanted to move onand forget thebloodshed.

The battlefield set also served foranother Heritage Minutes featuring legally blindactor

Bruce Horak (of StarTrek fame) portraying Edwin Baker.

Baker wasa Canadian soldierwholost his sight

in battleandwhothen went on to helpfound the Canadian Institute for the Blind.

Back then, being blind meant a lifeofdisability and reclusion, but Baker wanted tochange that, said Wilson-Smith

He saidthehope ofthe episodesis to get people intrigued abouta topic and maybe leadthem to dotheir own research about parts of Canada’s past, noting they’re used in classrooms across the countr y.

Heritage Minutes has about half a million followers on social media andtheepisodes are shot across Canada.

The two episodesin Delta were produced by Scopitcone Films out of Vancouver.

So far, about 105 Heritage Minutes have beenproduced,including theinitial seriesdone inthe1990s Wilson-Smith, isthe former editor-in-chiefof Maclean’s magazine and

said,“We don’tknow our history as wellas we should,” adding that’s notthefault ofindividual Canadians

That could be improved by havingthe provincesand territories agreeona general curriculum, withallowances for regionalhistory.

A basic starting point would be to make Canadianhistory a mandatory course inthefinal years ofhigh school.

“Our mandate is teaching Canadians about history, thingsthey don’t know.

“How do we become bettercitizens by understanding more about our history, boththethings we’ve done wellandthe thingsthat we didn’t,” said Wilson-Smith.

He saidhe’s wanted to do a Heritage Minute about Hamilton for about 10 years.

“She really sort of got under my skin, this remarkable woman,that nobody knew about.”

Community Livingindignitywithourdifferences

SIMBARASHE

International Olympic Committee(IO C) president Thomas Bach delivered a powerful speech duringthe Opening Ceremonyof the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

He said, “Now we are part ofan event that unitesthe worldin peace. In our Olympic world,thereisno “global south”or “globalnorth.”

“Weall respectthe same rulesand each other. In our Olympic world, we all belong. In a world torn apart by wars andconflicts,itisthanks to this solidaritythat we canallcome together

tonight, unitingthe athletesfromthe territoriesofall206 National Olympic Committees andtheIOC Refugee Olympic Team. Letus celebratethis Olympic spiritoflivinglifein peace,astheoneand only humankind,united inall ourdiversity.”

In our world of differences, those differences pale into relative insignificancewhen viewed against the gentle but ohso-powerfullove of God.

In one of our most widely used mother tongues in Zimbabwe, isiNdebele,I greet you: San’bonani! If I were greeting oneof you individually, I woulduse the singularform ofaddress, which is Sawubona! That

word means, “I see you,” andusing Sawubona as a form ofgreeting underlines the importance in our African culturesof recognising the worth and dignity of each person.

Asit has been said, to greetanother with thephrase “Sawubona” means “I seethewhole of you yourexperiences, your passions, your pain, your strengthsand weaknesses, and your future. Youare valuable to me.”

Oneof SouthAfrica’s wisest Chief Rabbis,who worked with Nelson Mandela to leadhis communityinto democracy, said:“We cancelebrate ourcommonheritage andliveindignity with ourdifferences.”

Blue Jaysget theirshotatthree-peat

The chance at a three-peat national baseball championshipis alive forthe Delta Blue Jays.

Delta punched theirticket to baseball’s 15U Ray Carter Cup, Aug. 22 to 25inLaval, Que., with an 8-3 win overthe Victoria Eagles, at the final-four Bantam AAA Provincial Championshipin Chilliwack, last Saturday (Aug. 3).

Earlierinthe day,the Jays defeated the Abbotsford Cardinals 8-5 inone semifinal,whilethe Eagles beat the Ridge Meadows Royalsintheother semifinal.

The Jays were up4-0 against Abbotsford,whotied the game, but the Jays pulled aheadinthe end.

Against theEagles, Delta was down 3-1, but scored six inthefifth inning, thanksto a two-runtriple and a two-runhome run.

“We’re thrilled. The offence camealive. We played twogreat games,” saidheadcoach Cam Frick. “Back-and-forth games it was anamazing day.”

Thisisthe Jays’ fourthtrip to the nationalsandtheirthird in a row afterthe tournament was notheld in2020/21 because ofthe COVID19 pandemic.

Each team has beendifferent, but also has had many similarities according to Frick.

“Ourfirst trip was 2019and I’ve always said,that wasthe best team we’ve ever had– lotofgreat pitching, defenceandlotsofcontributionsdefensively. We ended up secondthat yearlosing to Ontario inthe final,” he said.

“I think this year’s teamis very similar to that team … we’re young we have a lotoffirst-year guys whocontribute. We don’t have a set starting nine. Ifthey are hot, they’re inthelineupandthey can contribute Our pitching is outstanding, just a complete teamthis year.”

Delta won the regular season leaguetitle, clinching that a few weeks ago.

They went into theleagueplayoffs asthe top seed, winning theirfirst three games, only to lose to Victoria inthe semifinal. Victoria went on to win theleagueplayoff championship.

Frick saidthat loss provided some extra motivationforthe team

“We didn’tplay our best at the league tournament, but we rolled on all cylinders last weekend,” he said.

“It helped usthat we came back from Victoria disappointed. It was motivationforus. It’s a long season, it’s tough to play great theentire year There isalwaysa bitof a letdown, so

I was happy that was last weekend andnot this weekend.”

Aftertakinga few days off, the Jays will start to prepare for nationals

“I haven’t had August off in a long time, but I’m OK withthat,” he said.

“We’re thrilled. Montrealis such a great city.

“We have six guys returning,but theother10 guys haven’t been to Montreal, so thewholeexperienceof checkingout thecity, the culture and thefood. They put on a great tournament, so I’m just thrilled forthe kids to get thisexperience.”

The Jays roster includesAlex Tamayo, Caleb Miller, Cole Hudie, Colin Skelly,Drew Sochting, Hayden Mangat, JaxxonLawrence, Kane LaPorte, Kelser Curtis, Lucas Yu, Mason Dubnov, Nico Yau, Noah Wegner, Reece Abbott, TobyWiding and Yohta Suzuki Coaches - Cam Frick, Tim Frick, Joseph O’Krafka, Doug Miller, Quinn Betteridge, Ford Marcotte, Tommy Richards, Dave Empey.
