Did you feelit? Earthquake recordednear Tsawwassen

ELANASHEPERT

Gl acierMedia

Metro Vancouver residents feltan earthquake in the wee hours ofFriday, Oct. 4, raising concerns about the possibility of another, possibly larger tremor soon.

The quake, which hit just after 2 a.m., hada magnitudeof3.5,according to Earthquakes Canada, and was centred about 18 kilometres west of Tsawwassenand east of Ladysmith, at a depthof65km.

Just over a week ago, a 3.8-magnitudeshakerin Haro Strait was recorded about4 a.m., on Sept 26. That earthquake, centred 11km east of Sidney, andalmost 55km beneath the earth’s surface, was felt by hundreds of people asfarnorthas Nanaimoand south to Washington state.

SimonFraser University professor emeritus John Clague saysearthquakes oflower magnitudes occur daily in B.C., althoughmost register undera magnitudeofoneandaren’tfelt by people

However, the locationofthe last two earthquakes raisesaninteresting concernforexperts.

“We’ve known for quite sometime that these earthquakes occur beneath

Puget Sound, and we know that we get some beneath the Canadian border,” said Clague “The U.S. Geological Survey shows the earthquake site epicentre is close to the border It tellsus that these slab earthquakes can occur beneath the Straitof Georgia, but it’s getting close to Vancouver.”

Clague says the proximity of the last coupleofquakes to the Lower

Mainland shows a potential foran earthquake closer to home.

“Maybe we could get an earthquake in Vancouver,” he says.

“The bandof earthquakes can extend up.”

Magnitude three orfour shakers don’t typically cause damage but magnitudefive ones can cause damage close to theepicentre. A deep, magni-

tude5.4tremor beneath Pender Island, in1975, caused high-risesin Vancouver to sway.

Any mentionof the Big One is enough to send shivers down a local’s spine, withoutany of the earth’s plates sliding.The apocalyptic event will occur, but itisimpossible to ascertain itstiming. Instead, a more likely scenario is a significant, albeitsmaller, quake in Metro Vancouver.

“It doesn’tmeanthat we are approachinga magnitude seven or higher earthquake… itcould be littlebitty adjustmentsalong the plate boundary. It isinteresting that we had two there, though,” he said.

Clague says the Big One involves, “a muchlarger slip” of a few hundred kilometres between the Juande Fuca Plate and the North American Plate, in the Cascadia subduction zone.

The magnitudeeight ornine earthquake woulddevastate Vancouver Islandand the Lower Mainland. Thankfully, this kindof event only occurs ever y 400 or500 years.

A more likely scenario will seea smaller slipalonga “faulton the Juan de Fuca Plate or a small patch on the crust,” he notes.

Residentsliving alongsome roadsin Tsawwassen Shores subdivisionon Tsawwassen FirstNation landsare concernedabout changes to parkingrulesonthe streets outsidetheir homes.

However, theTFN says the stepsareneeded to preserve two-way traffic and to discouragespillover parkingfromnearby high-densitydevelopments,and to discourage peoplefrom parkingin order to catch aferry at the nearby BC Ferries terminal.

Signsallowing only fourhoursofparking on weekdays,from9a.m.to 5p.m., have been posted alongsome streets.

While people canstill park in parkingbayson one sideofthe street,for some roads,parking no longerwill be allowed on theother sideofthe street,inorder to improve

theflowof two-way traffic,improve visibility andimproveaccessfor emergencyorgarbage vehicles,said astatement onthe Tsawwassen First Nation website.

Enforcementwill be on acomplaintbasis,soif residents are dealingwith parkingproblems,they cancalltheTFN’s complianceandenforcement team.

Fraser RiverLNG terminal steers toward constructionin2025: Metro Vancouver

GRAEME WOOD

Gl acierMedia

Metro Vancouver says it will beginconsulting with Fortis BC and its partner overthe recent federal government-approved Tilbury Marine Jetty liquefied natural gas terminalonthe Fraser River, now set forconstructionin2025

What’s left to do before constructionis to create plansfor environmental management, riverbed monitoring, greenhouse gas reductionsandair quality,inconsultation with the regional government, pera report tabled Oct. 3 at the climate actioncommittee.

The jetty project in Delta was approved by Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault in July, withthe B.C. EnvironmentalAssessment Office providing anassessment of theproposalfrom Tilbury Jetty Limited Partnership (TJLP),including operating and

monitoring conditions.

Withthe approval came a revised contemplationofhow manyships will pass up and down the river annually--a near tripling, infact,from an originalprojectionof274annualtripsalong the river-- to 730.

As such, theassessment noted that as many as307 “bunker vessels” and58 “LNG carriers” will make a round-trip on the river— as many asone per day.

The river isoneofthecoun-

try’s most sensitive anddiverse ecosystems.

The project has drawn criticsfromenvironmental groups asitpromotesthe burning of fossilfuels Critics say theships pose a risk to the river and estuary,as wellasits habitants, most notably the southern resident killerwhale population Richmond petition

Last March, around400 Richmond residents signed a petition against plans to expandtheliquefied natural

gas (LNG) storage facility that will serve the jetty project.

The Wilderness Committee’s petition was given to Richmond-Steveston ML A Kelly Greene, which was presented on March7 inthe B.C. legislature.

Conversely, theproject was designed to first supplya growing numberof marine vessels with LNG andthenultimately ship LNG toChina, which continues to increase its coal emissionsannually,according to the International Energy Association.

“According to TJLP, Tilbury Marine Jetty would support the Port of Vancouverinits ambition to create the world’s most sustainable port andopen up B.C.’s natural resources to marketsthat need low-carbon energy to displacecoal,” said the EnvironmentalAssessment Office report.

The assessment addressed concerns overshipnoise that can be harmful to the killer

whales ; italso looked at ship strike risks, finding whales to be vulnerable (or of“low resiliency”) to both.

Minister Guilbeault’s approvalisoncondition TJLP andits shipping clientsuse the Coastal Ocean Research Institute’s Whale Report Alert System

The EAO concluded that itis “satisfied that Tilbury Marine Jetty wouldnot have significant adverse residualeffectson marine mammalsfromunderwater noise or vessel strikes.”

And, to mitigate the risk of marineaccidents, LNG ships are to go nofaster than10 knots oncethey enter the river.

“The cumulative risk ofall modelled cases associated with cargo loading at the jetty, including the risk from ignition ofan LNG spill,isonefatality every 10,000 to 100,000 years, withinan approximately 300metre radiusofthe jetty,” stated the EAO, regarding the risk of explosions

No benefittochopping trees

Editor :

Thisletter is with respect to a City of Deltainitiative toclear outa section of city property between Sixthand 8a Avenue, on56th Street,in Tsawwassen. Forest by the Bay is a communitythat is bounded by 56th Streeton the west side, and Boundar y Bay cemetery on the north side

The city is eyeing removing another 100 trees along the Forest by the Bay span, (between Sixth and8a avenues) to emulate the wide walkway bordering the Southlands, just southof Sixth Avenue, touting this to be a requirement forbicyclesand pedestrians.

Thisis a fallacy in my opinion.

There is a distinct paucity ofbicycles or pedestriansusing thiscorridor.

The roadtrafficon56th Street has increased considerablysince the Southlands has become a realityand will become even more denseand vastly noisier,I suspect, once Southlands has reached itsfull capacity.

Residencesfacing 56thStre et dependonthenois e re ductionprovide d by thedensity ofthedoubletree banks ofthe current walkway,while theproper ty fencing, establishe d by theinceptionofthe subdivisiondevelopment, facing 56thStre et, is rather limited due to theprotectionprovide d by thetrees, bothin terms ofprivac y and se curity

Removing thetrees andcreating anexpanded walkwayis hardly called upon forbicycles(which will require theuse of56th Streetafter8a Avenue).

When maintained properly by the city, thisentire strip has, andalways has had, a charm of its own,farfromthe antiseptically barren parkade walkway asprovided by the Southlandsdevelopment.

There absolutelyis no benefit to the community fromthis strip’s removal andisdefiantly incongruent with Delta’s own established tree policy.

NDP candidatechallenging incumbent in Delta South

Voters have only two choices to make on Election Day

PHIL MELNYCHUK

pmeln yc huk @d elta-optimis t. co m

Jason McCormick knows the streetsof Delta, and Vancouverforthat matter, afterdrivinga TransLink bus for about 18 years, including five years inhishometown.

But now theLadner resident wants to help drive the NDP agenda asanML A for Delta South McCormick is running against long-timeincumbent and Conser vative Party of B.C. candidate Ian Paton and said there is a need forthecommunity to have a voicein government.

“When I saw the overall picture, I truly do believe the NDP is going to win this election and to have somebody in Oppositionlike we’ve had for the last seven years with no voiceandnoinput, really showsthat our community needs helpandthat’s what I want to do,” McCormick said during aninterviewinhis Ladner home

Here are his responses to theOptimist’s five election questions:

Q1. What do you think is the major issue currentlyfacing Deltafarmers?

Answer : It looks to melike they’re allmodernizing their equipment, so I thinkthat’s the transitionthat our farmers are dealing with, themodernization to green houses, versusthetraditionalin-field planting. Andthen, I guess, the future water restrictionsand the ability to set uptheir own

water reservoirs would be the mainissuesthat I would see.

Q2. Including, but not limited to thefuture crossing of the Fraser River, what do you see as the maintransportation issue facing Delta South?

Answer : As I drive the bus, because that’s what I dofor a living, I get to see all ofthe pinch points.I get to see allof theissuesthat affecttransportation withinthiscommunity … whetherit’s in Tsawwassen, you only have really two main access pointsthere.

Withtheincreased density that’s coming, theamount of cars that areon the road, we’re going to need to increase publictransportation.

You look at all those new homes behindthe mall,they need more bus service. We have ever ybody coming from Surrey to work at thatmall, comingfrom Surrey to work at Amazon. We need more infrastructure to get those people there and the best way to doit is with publictransportation.

Q3. What can or should be done to ease the housing crisis?

Answer : I’m really,actually quite happy with what this government isdoing because we’re up against highinterest rates and overwhelming demand.

There’s notenough supply onthe market. You look at how houses have increased three foldintheirprice since2010. This government iseliminating some red tape. They’re allowing constructionofsmall, multi-unitdevelopments, because you know what, we want our kidsandtheir grand kids to be able to stay inthis community.

Q4. Canada has seen record immigration recently. How have you,or would you, respond as ML A to this federal issue?

Answer : You’re right, itis a federalissue andwhen you look at, I saw the statisticson thenews, where they said1.3 millionnew Canadians last yearaloneandonly 500,000 housing starts So again,that showsan800,000housing-unit shortfall.

Andwhen you look at that no wonder, withthedemand outweighing the supply,orthe inventory ofhouses, pricesare just going to continue toskyrocket untilthey equal out… it’s simple economics.

One thing that theNDP wants to dois again,they’ve capped rent increases to try to keepitaffordablefor renting. Whether peoplelike itornot, oneofthe waysto increase the supply was to reduce theshortterm market, the Air BnBs That might not bepopular with some people but it’s helped get peopleinto affordablehomes

“This government is eliminating some red tape They’re allowing constructionof small, multi-unit developments wewant our kidsand their grand kids to be able to stay inthis community ”

Q5. Boththe BC Conser vatives and the NPD have said that the y willor may cancel B.C.’s carbon tax. So, is there any difference between your parties on thisand what

happens to theprice of gasoline ifthe 17 cent-a-litre carbon tax is removed and how will you make upthelost revenue?

Answer : The carbontaxis federally mandated So the only way theNDP removes that isifthere’sa change inthe federal government and I think most Canadians can see that there probably will be a change andthat’s probably why it will comeoff

So how do you make up that difference? Obviously, the demand will go upfor gas. Again, withthelost revenue … there isn’t going to be any lost revenue, per se, because the part of the carbontaxthat’s working, isthe part where they’re hitting the big polluters andthat willcontinue regardless ofthe removal ofthe personal carbontaxwhich will be onthe gas.

Cycling plan on 56thStreet still a workinprogress

PHILMELNYCHUK

The City of Delta has rolled out itsplanfor a two-block, multi-use pathway that will connect Sixth Avenue to a brandnew recreationand aquaticcentre in Winskill Park.

But the Delta committee of the HUB Cycling group still wants a paththat will take those pedalling two wheels fromdeepin Tsawwassen to the South Delta Recreation Centre, just northof16th Avenue

There’s roomfor someoptimism however.

Neil Pope,Delta committee co-chair, saidthecity has taken a preliminar y look at the roadway from12th to 16th avenues and foundthere’s enough roomfor separated bike lanes and sidewalks, while keeping the same numberoftraffic laneson56th Street

“There isadequate spaceon 56th Street to do that,” he said, althoughnoting there’s nothing planned andnothing has beenfunded

“The goalis to have good, safeactive transportation along 56th Street,” he said.

Asthe populationdensity increases, “it’s crucial that we just don’t go down the path ofonly relying on vehicles for getting aroundandthat active transportation be thought of andplanned.

“If we don’tdoitduring the upcoming development, it’s impossible andor very expensive to doit lateron.”

“One way or another, these e-bikesande-everythingsare coming and we’ve got to think ahead of it. Right now,they’re onthe sidewalk,” he said.

The city’s cycling master planshows cycling lanesfrom Sixth to 16th Avenueasan identified need, Pope added.

Committee co-chair Roel Schootman saidthebike lanes should be continuous “I thinkit should be done properly Carr y itconsistently,

all the way through,” he said.

The cycling group raised the sameconcerns last year pointing out there’s little cycling infrastructure along 56th

Street. The city held anopen house Sept. 25 to gatherfeedback onits plansfor a northbound3.5m-wide multi-use pathway from Sixth Avenue to Winskill Park, at 8A Avenue, on the east sideof56th Street

The pathway will have LED street lights,a grassed boulevard and new signs.

Pope though pointed out there isnothing for cyclists southboundon56th Street, from12th to Sixth Avenue

A City of Delta email said that thecity’s cycling master planenvisionsprotected cycling facilitiesalong 56th Street, between Hwy.17and the U.S. border, andthe current project is to extendthe multi-use pathway between Sixth Avenueand8A Avenue, connecting Southlands to Winskill Park.

Otherbicycle lanesfor56th Street, will be considered by councilinfuture capitalplans.

Tsawwassen Springs plan gets ALC approval

SANDOR GYARMATI

sg yarm ati@delta-optimis t. co m

The proposed final build-outofthe Tsawwassen Springs housingdevelopment has cleareda big hurdle

The AgriculturalLand Commission last month approved the application to exclude1.82hectares(4.5 acres)from the AgriculturalLand Reserve to allowa 60-unit townhouse development

Last December, following a public hearing, Delta council granted preliminary approvalofthe latest application by the Tsawwassen Golf and Country Club for theadditional townhouses at the site, located at 4800 Springs Blvd. and a portion of5133 Springs Blvd

The vacant site is withinthe ALR but was notactively farmed.

The proposal, which would see part of the site excluded fromtheALR, was then forwarded to theALC.

A previous application,which had also beengranted preliminary approval by councilin2017, was rejected by theALC.

At the last public hear ing, applicant Ron Toigo explaine d the revisionsin his latest proposal, saying the y should satisfytheALC.

Thos e include anoffer to place severalacres of farmland in Deroche, east of Mission, which isnotintheAL R, into thefar m reserve. The land to be include d is2.6hectares (6.4acres).

Underthefirst application,the ow nerpropos ed a voluntar ycontributionfor agricultural capital works intheamount of$500,000 to be us ed towards drainage and ir rigation improvements The ow ner has sinceincrease d that amount to $1 million. The latest proposalincludes directing thefunds to thecity,which would consult withthe Delta Farmers’ Institute as to how to us e thefunds to benefit agriculture.

Council has agreed to now for ward the application to Metro Vancouverfor a RegionalGrowth Strategy landdesignationamendment and a sewage area extension.

City has new interim housingneedsnumbers

SANDOR GYARMATI

The City of Delta, in its current budgetconsultations, isasking for resident feedback on several goalsandpriorities including building housing andgrowing sustainably.

The city isalso high-

lighting work done so far, including theupdateto theOfficial Community Plan and approving nearly 1,000newunits in 2024. As faraswhere thecity isheaded,it’s aligning infrastructure withhousing growth, whileincreasing permits fornetnew housing units to meet Delta’s housing target

given by theprovince

A recent updateto councilnotesaninterim housing needs assessment, also a requirement by theprovince, requires Delta to add several more factors to thecity’s existing 2020 Housing Needs Report, including the numberofhousing units required to meet current

andanticipated housing need forthenext five years and20 years using anonline calculator tool.

The Housing Needs Report Calculatorisan online tool developed by the University B.C., which iscompliant withthe province’s methods.

The report notes that thefive-year need identi-

fied inthecity’s interim housing needs assessment is significantly higherthanthefive-year need identified by theprovince when setting Delta’s housing target, but both numbers are valuable

Deltaidentified thecity requiring 9,788 unitsfrom August 2024 to August 2029.

Meanwhile, thecity has also identified needing 29,457 newunits over a 20-year period

The housing needs assessment also includes “additionallocal demand”, a new variablethat isnot included intheprovince’s housing target order setting.

Warningsigns a bathroom needs work

Homeowners know that the work involved to maintain a homeisnever done

The endofoneproject tends to rollinto the planning ofanother, and so it goesfor years on end.

Fortunate are the homeowners who get to choose when to begin a renovationproject, but it’s farmore common that homeowners spotan issue andthen realize it’s time to renovate When it comes tobathrooms, which can be among the more expensive spaces to renovate in a home, homeowners can keep an eye out for various signs suggesting the room needsa remodel.

Mouldand mildew: Mouldandmildewis

perhaps the most glaring sign a bathroom needs to be renovated or remodeled. Mouldandmildew pose a notablethreat to human health, as moulds can cause allergic reactions Individuals sensitive to mould may develop symptoms that mimic reactions to outdoorallergens like pollen,including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, anddermatitis(skin rash). Mouldalso can trigger asthma attacks in peopleallergic to mould who have thecondition. Mould can grow in poorly ventilated bathrooms, such as those without a fanorones in which fansare not working properly. Mould andmildew will return ifit’s merely scrubbed

away, so the underlying cause ofmould must be addressed to prevent its return.

Smallsignsof fading: Stains, peeling paint, cracked paint, and gaps ingrout are small signs offading that indicatea bathroom needs renovationifnot a complete remodel. These issues also can serve as warning signs of largerissues, such as water issuesand structural problems, so they shouldnot be merely writtenoffasminor problemsor eyesores.

Rising water bills : Some signsa bathroom could use a little TLC are notnecessarily confined to the roomitself. If water bills are rising significantly anddonot align withpriceincreases

oranuptick in water consumption,homeowners may have leaking pipes Such pipes might bebeneatha bathroom sinkor behindtiled walls. Discolorationonthe walls, peeling paint or wallpaperand/or a musty odor may indicate leaks inside a bathroom wall.If coupled with risingwater bills, these signs could be indicative of a significant issue that requiresimmediate attention.

Issues withtiles:

Cracked or damaged tiles intheshower and bathtub or evenonthefloor areunsightly and pose a safety hazard.Cracked floortiles can lead to slipsandfalls, which can be especially harmful to older residents. And cracked tiles withinthe

Whenit

comestobathrooms,homeowners can keepan eyeout for varioussignssuggestingthe roomneedsa remodel.

shower and tub area can indicate water problems behindthe wallsor generaldisrepair Such issues should be addressed before they escalate into something larger

A dated vibe: Of course, someissues affectinga bathroom are notnecessarily health or

safety hazards but more anaffront to homeowners’ grasp of current styles andtrends If walking into a bathroomunintentionally feelslike stepping backward into a bygone era, thenit’s probably time to consider a renovationor remodeling job.

Expect a good returnon investment: If sticker shock settlesinwhen receiving aninitial kitchen remodelestimate, perhaps it can helphomeowners to know that such aproject may provide a strong returnon investment (ROI).

Expectthe project to take some time: Kitchens are large rooms with a lotofcomponents, so renovating these spaces can take sometime Estimates vary depending on the size ofthe room, the scale ofthe remodelandthe materials chosen, but Angi reports a kitchen remodelformost homestakes six weeks to four months That’s a sizable window,andit reflectsthelikelihood that unforeseen issues
