All four Delta candidates in next month’s federal election squared off for the first time Saturday afternoon in front of a standing room-only crowd in North Delta.

Organized by the Burns Bog Conservation Society and the Delta Residents’ Association, the forum at the North Delta Evangelical Free Church saw

more than 200 people on hand to hear what Conservative incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the Green’s Anthony Devellano, Liberal Carla Qualtrough and New Democrat Jeremy Leveque had to say on a range of questions, from the controversial Bill C-51 to how the government can better support non-profit organizations.

The meeting saw each candidate answer the same question but the session was not a debate as

Two more forums

The four candidates are scheduled to renew acquaintances tonight at a meeting organized by the Delta Chamber of Commerce at North Delta Secondary at 7 p.m. The Optimist will join forces with the chamber to host another meeting next Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m. at South Delta Secondary in Tsawwassen.

the format didn’t include rebuttals, although some managed to slip in a few. Several times supporters for certain candidates made their presence known with boisterous applause or jeers, especially on the hot button local issues of port expansion and thermal coal at the Fraser Surrey Docks.

Asked what they would do to protect environmentally sensitive peatlands, Devellano admitted he doesn’t have much knowledge

on the subject, but said his party is dedicated to doing whatever it can to protect the environment, including Burns Bog. Leveque said the NDP would reverse gutted environmental oversight processes.

Salty situation for farmers

Proposed bridge to replace tunnel could pose salinity issues for irrigation water quality BY

Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ TheDeltaOptimist to join the conversation on today's hottest issues.

The replacement of the George Massey Tunnel with a bridge could have a negative impact on the irrigation water quality for Delta farmers.

Potential changes in the hydrology of the Fraser River with a new bridge is one of the issues local farmers want examined.

A study is getting underway following concerns raised by the Delta Farmers’ Institute. The group is wondering whether the increased depth and length of dredging will have the same effect as removing a dam that currently restricts the intrusion of the “salt wedge” up the Fraser River.

Salt wedges occur in estuaries like the Fraser River delta where ocean water meets fresh water.

The term salt wedge refers to the denser ocean salt water that pushes up the estuary. Some mixing with fresh river water occurs but in general the denser salt water tends to remain on the bottom of the river and fresh river water flows on top of the saline water.

Farmers say there’s a great deal of uncertainty when it comes to the future of the agricultural water supply in the lower Fraser River.

“Concerns about chang-

ing salinity levels in the Fraser River are not limited to Delta alone. Many farms in Richmond also rely on the south arm of the Fraser River to provide irrigation water for agriculture. For some farmers it is their only source of water,” DFI vicepresident Clarence De Boer stated in a letter to Delta requesting participation and funding for the study.

Delta’s irrigation water intakes in the Fraser River are affected by the migration of the salt wedge up

Qualtrough said her government would ensure a robust environmental review process was restored, while Findlay noted her government rec-

ognizes the bog’s significance and she supported the international Ramsar designation of the wetlands.

Asked what they would do to stop Port Metro Vancouver’s planned T2 project at Roberts Bank, Qualtrough described it as a disaster waiting to happen, saying there’s no compelling business case for the project.

“We need a robust environmental assessment process in Canada that wouldn’t even let this kind of discussion start happening. Under a Liberal government, we would look at

the river when river flows are reduced, but the DFI notes the current understanding of salinity behaviour in the river is incomplete.

There’s a need for a better understanding of the salt wedge behaviour throughout the entire river channel and particularly as it relates to the deeper portions, according to a Delta staff report that concurred with the DFI’s concern.

The Delta agricultural community is concerned

that allowing the salt water wedge to move further upstream will affect water quality at the 80th Street intake.

Delta council has agreed to contribute $10,000 toward the $75,000 analysis.

Noting Delta has already been working with farmers to monitor salinity in the irrigation water, Coun. Ian Paton said Delta’s upgraded irrigation system so far hasn’t had much in the way of problems with the salt

content.

However, Westham Island does not have the benefit of that irrigation system, so it depends on flood gates which feed the area’s ditch system, resulting in a higher chance of salt water.

“This time of year, the farmers basically closed down these gates, they don’t want any water coming in from the Fraser River because it just has too much salt content in it,” Paton said.

the cumulative effects of all these different things and that’s not happening now,” she said.

Saying some people have made up their minds on the subject before a rigorous environmental review is about to begin, Findlay explained the federal process is even stricter than the provincial one and that any application would have to adhere to the higher standard.

“When we merge those processes, when we say, ‘OK, provincial government, you can take the lead on this,’ we make sure they have to meet the higher standards of the federal process, and there is a fairness

factor when any project goes forward of letting the proponents know within a certain timeline whether that’s going to go ahead or not,” Findlay said.

“As you know, this Conservative government has turned down projects that didn’t meet an environmental assessment and approved some. The ones we have approved have often been with a huge number of conditions.

Unless the proponents meet those conditions, those are not going ahead, whether it’s T2 or any other project.

They have to prove there are not negative effects on the environment or they can mitigate them to a standard

that would be acceptable to the community… these are rigorous processes and we stand behind those independent evaluations.”

Devellano said T2 is simply a bad idea and that Deltans need to vote for an MP who would represent their concerns on such local issues, not a representative forced to toe the party line.

As far as LNG facility expansion along the banks of the Fraser River, Findlay again said a robust review process is in place. She also noted she personally asked the provincial government to not expropriate land from over two dozen Delta farms to run a new power line to the project.

‘Doug’ provides proof of a great growing season Guess the weight of giant pumpkin at Backroads BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Doug is back.

A massive pumpkin given that name is on display at Backroads Family Farm Market in Ladner for a contest to guess its weight. It’s the second year the competition has been held and the person closest to the actual weight will win a pair of Canucks tickets, while gift cards will go to two runners-up.

For every carving pumpkin purchased, customers receive a ballot for the contest that goes until Oct. 31.

Saying they had hundreds of people take part in last year’s contest, store

owners Alicia and Danielle Guichon named the giant Atlantic pumpkin Doug, the name also given to their giant pumpkin last year.

The sisters laugh that they are developing a funny storyline for Doug, noting the giant squash that was grown in Richmond has been turning heads.

The contest is underway as this year’s crop of pumpkins just went through one of its most unusual growing seasons ever. Pumpkins were ready about a month early due to the unusually hot, dry summer and there had been concern by consumers that patches would not last until Halloween.

“We have been getting

this question non-stop.

We’ve had a good look in the patch and everything looks great. Nothing out of the ordinary, you’ll always have some that rot prematurely but we have started picking them and storing them and those will hold best, in case we get some very heavy rainfall,” the sisters of the sixth-generation Ladner farm family told the Optimist this week.

Peter Guichon said that in all his years growing pumpkins in Delta he’s never experienced a growing season quite like this one.

“You’ve had two-and-a half months of no inclement, cold, damp weather and

Guichon said the weather was warm and dry from the day pumpkins were planted

in mid-May, up until the end of August when wet weather hit. He said there’s no worry the early crop would rot before Halloween but continued heavy rain

can start that process.

However, the forecast is for drier conditions, he said, adding people have been in a festive spirit and already flocking to buy pumpkins.

One Ladner church is in need of some renovations and the congregation is reaching out for help.

Built in 1881 on land donated by W. H. Ladner, All Saints Anglican Church is the oldest church in Delta. Standing at the corner on Ladner Trunk Road and Arthur Drive, the church was rebuilt in the early 1980s using many of the original materials.

About three years ago, planning started to upgrade some aspects of the church.

Architects and contractors were hired to assist with the project, however, the congregation was recently told the extent of the work, and the cost, is much more than originally anticipated.

The building requires extensive repairs and upgrades, including a refit of the kitchen and two new accessible toilets and sinks.

The plumbing, heating and ventilation systems all need repairs, the electrical

A local team is looking to grow its ranks for next year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Team captain Simon Amesbury took part in the epic, two-day cycling event last year, at which time he learned there were several other local participants, either riding individually or in pairs. He decided to try and pull them all together for 2015.

This year five South Delta residents formed the South Delta Riders team and were able raise $29,076. Joining Amesbury were Mike Heras, Sean Johnson, Tom Keady and Rich Niebuhr.

Their vision is to grow the team each year and to raise more money for the cause.

“The fundraising and training is so much easier when you work as a team,” says Amesbury. “You don’t necessarily have to do everything together leading up to the weekend ride, but over those two days the support you get from your teammates gets you through

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW

It’s got a different vibe this time around.

When Delta voters went to the polls in the last federal election back in the spring of 2011, Kerry-Lynne Findlay found herself in a pretty nice situation as the Conservative candidate. A Vancouver lawyer at the time, she had been selected to carry the torch being handed down by the retiring John Cummins in a riding that had a long history of electing rightof-centre politicians.

As a newcomer, she had absolutely no political baggage and although there’s always a sense of accountability when representing the party in power, there was less sticking to Stephen Harper’s Conservatives at the time given they were a minority government.

Findlay had to deal with some fallout after long-time school trustee Dale Saip, who actually won the Conservative nomination here, was dropped by the party and she also faced some criticisms over being a parachute candidate, but all in all it was a fairly charmed existence, one that resulted in a convincing victory in which she garnered more than 54 per cent of the vote.

This time around the ride hasn’t been quite as smooth, although that doesn’t necessarily mean the outcome will be different.

If polls are to be believed, the Conservatives aren’t as popular with voters as they were four years ago, so it stands to reason Findlay will feel that impact. All governments, regardless of political stripe, have a shelf life and it would not be unreasonable to assume the Conservatives are getting close to their expiration date, although, again, that doesn’t necessarily mean the outcome will change.

There’s also more going on federalwise in the riding than that there was in 2011. Back then federal issues were often overshadowed by local ones, including a new plan for the Southlands coming out of the Mayor’s Summit, the Tsawwassen First Nation’s announcement that it had inked deals with development partners to build a pair of mega malls and a playoff run by the Canucks that would take them all the way to the Stanley Cup finals.

This time we’ve got a bunch of federal issues, including proposed port expansion in the form of Terminal 2, radio towers, thermal coal at Fraser Surrey Docks and the elimination of home mail delivery, all of which have the ability to reflect negatively on the governing Conservatives.

Findlay’s got the benefit of name recognition now that she’s an incumbent, but there’s little doubt that the water has got deeper.

Mental Health Act needs update ML BURKE

COMMUNITY COMMENT This coming week, Oct. 1 to 7, is Mental Illness Awareness Week.

What is mental illness?

According to the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation, it is “a wide range of disorders that affect mood, thinking and behaviour. They include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, schizophreniapsychotic disorders, substance use and dependency disorders, behavioural disorders and eating disorders.”

Fraser Health goes on to say: “Early recognition with appropriate response can minimize the impact of mental illness. Fifty per cent of all lifetime cases of mental Illness begin by age 14 and 75 per cent begin by age 24. One-third of B.C.’s population lives in Fraser Health, which has more young people than anywhere else in B.C. Because of gaps in the continuum of care, only 25 per cent of our children who need specialized care receive it.”

doubled in the last six years. More than 47,000 young people here currently experience mild to severe mental health concerns. As many as 700 of these kids are in crisis with acute psychiatric problems and need to be admitted to receive immediate specialized care.

To date, there are no beds but the Surrey Hospital Foundation is fundraising to build a 10-bed Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit.

I met with Delta police S/Sgt. Ryan Hall about mental illnessrelated calls, which have gone from one a day to three a day.

His qualifications include being a Lower Mainland crisis negotiator over the last five years. He has worked with the RCMP, Port Moody police, Abbotsford police and New Westminster police at different times. He has talked to people sitting outside the railings of the Pattullo and Alex Fraser bridges and to people with makeshift explosive devices.

“The people who end up in crisis tend to have had a long-term battle with illness or addiction and are estranged from family, friends, have no support, and have had a critical incident within the past day or so which caused them to become mentally unstable,” says Hall. “Conversely, those who have adequate supports are able to avoid these crisis situations.”

Hall pointed out some changes that need to be made to B.C.’s Mental Health Act.

The Optimist encourages readers to write letters to the editor. Letters are accepted on any topic, although preference is given to those on local matters. The Optimist reserves the right to edit letters and the decision to publish is at the discretion of the editor or publisher. All letters must be signed, dated and include the writer’s phone number

“The difference between B.C.’s act and Alberta’s act is that in Alberta they can make an apprehension before someone is a danger to themselves or others, and take them where they can receive treatment and/or support. The requirement in B.C. is that a police officer must deliver the person (already in crisis) to a physician. The advantage of the Alberta act is that police can be proactive in assisting someone before a crisis occurs.”

The other problem for Delta police is they must transfer someone in mental crisis to Surrey Memorial Hospital as Delta Hospital cannot take them. Once there, they must wait with the person, often for three to six hours, before a psych doctor can see them. This represents a huge drain on police resources.

How can we help? Write to your provincial MLAs to amend the B.C. Mental Health Act. You can also donate to the Surrey Hospital Foundation or attend its fundraiser on Oct. 17 at Jimmy Flynn’s Pub. It’s a “Guess That Tune” trivia night. Call 604-816-2144 for tickets.

And don’t be a NIMBY if a mental health support home comes to town. Every community needs them.

State-of-the-art spill response for jet fuel facility Editor: Re: Mayor wants fuel trucks off the road, Sept. 23 With renewed growth in air travel over the past couple of years, we have seen the number of tanker truck fuel deliveries to YVR increase to 50 per day at times. The removal of these tanker trucks from our roads and highways is just one of several significant benefits the Vancouver

Airport Fuel Delivery Project provides.

There will be benefits to the way emergency response is handled on the Fraser River. The spill response capabilities for the project will enhance the overall spill response capability on the river, adding significantly to the current response equipment inventory, planning, training and operational expertise estab-

lished by WCMRC. The facility will have two response boats mobilized once a vessel enters the Fraser River, which will be on stand-by for the duration of offloading to deploy containment equipment if required. The response to any spill would be immediate.

At the terminal, boom and skimmers will be predeployed around the vessel

to contain and recover a spill in the unlikely event of a release during offloading.

During the environmental assessment, Environment Canada lauded elements of VAFFC’s response planning as being state-of-the-art for spill modelling and potential incident preparation.

In addition, certified river pilots, escort tugs and double-hulled vessels will contribute to a very high level

of safety. In the event of a spill, the marine terminal is required to promptly notify the Canadian Coast Guard, and federal and provincial authorities.

VAFFC is implementing some of the industry’s highest standards in fire protection of its facilities. Fixed and automated detection systems, cooling water systems and foam suppression will provide

both the marine terminal and fuel receiving facility around-the-clock monitoring and immediate response capability.

We have been working with municipal fire departments to ensure these systems are compatible with and complement the authorities’ response protocols.

Conservative candidate must recognize she’s not Beautiful like Richmond exempt from answering constituents’ questions

Editor: Re: Findlay had no chance with partisan crowd at meeting, letter to the editor, Sept. 23 With all due respect, I found the opinions of Curtis MacDonald regarding the democratic process in Canada to be rather shocking. He acknowledges that, by their nature, all-candidates meetings are inherently prone to partisanship, but asks the truly mindboggling question, “Why would Kerry-Lynne Findlay completely waste her time

by attending?”

Why would she waste her time? Here’s the thing… Politics is a domain of partisanship, and Findlay has chosen a life in politics.

She is a public servant. She serves the public, not the other way around. We pay her for her time.

Does MacDonald seriously believe participation in a fundamental democratic process should be a question of convenience measured by personal gain?

Findlay is an elected official, and is no more exempt

from peer review than any other Canadian. As a member of Parliament, she pompously and disrespectfully snubbed her constituents, her constituency and the democratic process in Canada.

MacDonald appears to believe she should not be expected to answer a lot of impertinent questions about her performance or Delta’s political future. Who do these political challengers think they are, anyway, holding her to account with their crazy multi-party sys-

tem?

There you have Stephen Harper’s Conservative rule in a nutshell. Government without oversight appears to be the new normal.

Findlay can snub her constituency all she likes.

While we still enjoy the vestiges of democracy, I say we respond at the polls.

I think her constituents would really like to know if she avoided this all-candidates meeting simply on instruction from the Prime Minister’s Office.

Mark Macdonald

Green Party candidate is congratulated for giving it his best effort

Editor: About the only two points I took away from the North Delta all-candidates meeting last Saturday was

that there are in our community boorish people who boo and deny a speaker an opportunity to comment and those who have no courtesy

and fail to shake hands with candidates. Discourteous in the extreme.

Even though I am not a supporter of the

Green Party, I did take time to congratulate the Green Party candidate for giving it his best effort.

Bob Orrick

Editor: The Tsawwassen First Nation’s malls and the 10-lane bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel are two wonderful symbols of Delta’s glorious transformation from an anachronistic hick town to a thriving, bustling metropolis. Even condo King Bob Rennie will be proud of the new Delta.

The ALR has been the Gordian Knot preventing the unblemished hand of the free market from carrying Delta proudly into the 21st century. But no more. It is coming apart as British Columbians eagerly welcome cheaper and more plentiful food from China, Mexico, California and elsewhere.

If the world can feed us, then let it.

All the better for us to help the struggling young people who, though will-

ing to give up their lattes for mortgages, are simply kept out of the housing market as greedy farmers cling to Delta’s arable land for their potatoes and corn.

Since the ALR’s inception, this selfishness has been heralded as prudent.

But no more.

Young people want to start families and are eager to move into 3,000- or 4,000-square-foot homes with granite backsplashes and bathrooms for every child. And this is their right.

To stand in the way of Delta’s blossoming is to say no to nature’s inexorable push towards more and better subdivisions and malls.

One only has to glance up and down No. 3 Road in Richmond to see how beautiful the world can be if our priorities are right.

BARBARA GUNN

LIVING MATTERS Shopping for a sofa, in my opinion, is about as much fun as shopping for a bathing suit. Which is to say, it’s no fun at all.

I don’t like shopping for bathing suits. And I can’t stand shopping for sofas.

Alas, however, it’s been on the agenda of late. This, given that the son had taken up residency in an unfurnished apartment, and had nothing to sit on.

So we gave him our chesterfield.

“No problem,” said the husband. “We’ll just get a new one.”

Easier said than done.

Two weeks ago, we launched the search. We had to leave town to do it, given that there are no furniture stores in our neck of the woods. Pet stores, we have in abundance. Sofa stores, not so much.

We headed through the tunnel. We found some-

place called Furniture Fair or Sofa-rama or something like that, and went in to investigate.

There were, I am guessing, three million sofas, and an equal number of coffee tables, armchairs and lamps.

A saleswoman spied us and zoomed in like a bear after honey.

“Hi!” she chirped. “What can I help you with?”

“We’re just looking,” I said. I grabbed my husband’s elbow and steered him through the maze.

The offerings, I determined, could be summed up in a word: hideous.

There were purple leather couches and green suede couches and couches that looked like they might have been imported from the Island of Ugly.

“I have to get out of here,” I said to the husband.

We moved on. We found someplace called Sitting Pretty or Home Roomz or something like that and went inside. A salesman spied us and made for us like a kid after candy.

“Hello folks!” he said in a sing-song voice. “What

can I help you find today?”

I grabbed the husband’s elbow again.

In a perfect shopping world, of course, this wouldn’t happen. In a perfect shopping world, I would go online, find a store, and ask the dealer to pick out something. I wouldn’t have to view picture after picture; I would simply rely on the vendor to pick out something that suited my style, something that was comfortable, and something that happened to be on sale.

Unfortunately, however, when you’re shopping for a sofa, it helps if you get in your car and go to a store.

It helps if you test out the offerings.

In the coming days, I suppose, we will be forced to make the trek once again, and to search out someplace called Chesterfields of Dreams or something like that. On the other hand, I could quite easily be talked into abandoning the whole process, and staying where I am.

After all, a sofa may be nice to have, but sitting is so overrated.

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. !For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. !Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. !At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement.

Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again.

Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. !Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica.

Deltassist hires Balaggan as its executive director

After an extensive search, Deltassist has a new executive director.

“Within the social services sector, Deltassist has an outstanding reputation as an agency which provides high quality services to its clients, as well as being an organization that is responsive to the needs of the communities that it serves.”

In addition to a social services degree from UVic, Balaggan holds a master of

social work specializing in human services leadership.

KEN VAN CAMP November 1950- September 2005

DOHERTY, Betty

Ten years ago and much too soon, we lost Ken Van Camp at age 54. Ken was an acclaimed drama teacher at South Delta Senior Secondary School who mentored many students, some of whom went on to professional acting careers. A scholarship fund in his name continued to benefit drama students at SDSS in the years that followed.

Two grandchildren of Ken, born after his death, have helped to ease the loss of his passing, but we miss him still. His old friends lost part of their youth when he died. Lovingly remembered by Miranda, Lynette, and his old friends.

ARMSTRONG ELLIOT, Margaret 1931 - 2015

Margaret Armstrong Elliot passed away September 11, 2015 at the Ladner Hospice.

Margaret was born in 1931 to John and Mary Armstrong of Eskdale, Cumbria – the eldest of 5 children. Here she attended the local school taught by her Aunt Gladys, then Trinity Hall girls school and then took Fine Art, then Science at King’s College.

University led her to a professional career in medical technology and teaching high school biology. She lived in the UK, California and Alberta before settling in Vancouver, where she worked with the Canadian Red Cross.

She joined the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) in 1990.

Margaret was awarded their top recognition as a Full Signature Member of the Federation. She was also a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, CSPWC, and the North West Watercolor Society in Seattle, NWWS. She will be greatly missed by her daughters Deirdre (Kevin Armstrong), Catherine (Craig Bourget), and her grandchildren Ava and Ruby.

Also her sister Barbara Armstrong (Cheryl McLeod) and in the UK by brother Hubert Armstrong and sister Helen (Eddie Woodall) and cherished extended family members and long time friends. Margaret travelled the world gathering images to inspire her artwork, yet she loved her home and garden. Here she was especially happy entertaining friends and family and will always be remembered by her big laugh. She was dedicated to her family and well respected by her colleagues and in her community. Her final achievement is a book of the Armstrong family and its background in Cumbria.

She wrote this history for her granddaughters Ava and Ruby.

The book “Native In Eskdale: Another Country” is now being published. A Celebration of Life is being planned at the South Delta Artist Guild Long House on October 25th.

Betty passed away quietly and with dignity on Friday, September 11th at Mountain View Manor in Ladner, BC with her close family by her side. Betty lived her 92 years with grace and strong determination - characteristics she passed on to her daughter and granddaughters. She will be forever loved by her daughter, Sheryl and husband Gary Gaffey in Tsawwassen, BC; granddaughters Stephanie and husband Jens Lundgreen-Nielsen in the UAE; Melinda and husband Neal Skura in Burnaby, BC and Jennifer Tilbury in Tsawwassen, BC. She was overjoyed with her great-grandchildren Riley, Lauren and Declynn. She will join her parents Edith and Bert Aspinall, husband Wesley Doherty and siblings Bert, Phil, Pat and Eddie in heaven. Also remembering her are her sister-in-law Eve Aspinall in Westmount, QC; Sylvia Smith and family in St. Lambert, QC; nieces Debbie and Shirley and nephews David, Peter and Michael.

Born and raised in Montreal, Betty was a ‘city girl’ who found herself with Wes in Whitehorse, Yukon after the end of WW2 - as you can imagine - this was culture shock of epic proportions.

After 3 years they returned to Montreal with baby Sherry where Betty started to work at the Royal Bank that gig lasted for 33 years. In Beaconsfield she enjoyed singing with the Sweet Adelines and lawn bowling.

She moved to Tsawwassen, BC after retirement to be close to her family where she enjoyed her golden years watching with pride her granddaughters thrive and great-grandchildren grow.

Betty was a true lady and will be in our hearts forever. Her strength and faith will be celebrated at All Saints Anglican Church, 4755 Arthur Dr. Ladner, BC on Saturday, October 3 at 3:00 pm. with The Ven. Elizabeth Northcott presiding followed by a reception.

Her final resting place will be at the Last Post Field of Honour in Point Claire, QC beside Wes. The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Mountain View Manor for their compassionate care over the last 2 years and the kindness shown by her roommates Millie, Betty and Annalise.

Raise a glass of sherry to our Nana’s memory and her well lived life.
