CAR-FREE CROSSING

Work starts on new Spirit Trail bridge at Lynn Creek BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

It’s been part of the plan for years, but a new pedestrian/cycling bridge over Lynn Creek is now coming together, linking the District of North Vancouver’s Seylynn Park with the City of North Vancouver’s Bridgman Park.

“Really, this is the next critical section of the Spirit Trail,” said Ingrid Weisenbach, transportation planner at the District of North Vancouver. “I have heard from people that they’re excited for this.” Components for the four-metre-wide, 52-metre-long span were delivered to the site last week and the district has detoured several trails in the area in preparation. Next month, a crane will be brought in to start lifting the bridge arches and deck panels into place. The intent is to provide a quick and convenient car-free way for the thousands of residents moving into the Lynn Creek town centre to reach the shopping and services of Park & Tilford, Weisenbach said. To make the journey to Park & Tilford from Hunter Continued on page 23

PIPELINE PROTEST

Tsleil-Waututh Nation lend support to Wet’suwet’en

BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

The Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s Sacred Trust Initiative is showing their firm support for Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs’ struggle to halt the Coastal Gas Link pipeline from coming through their territory.

Since the start of August, hereditary chiefs from the Wet’suwet’en have been visiting Indigenous communities and cities across the country as part of their Strengthening Our Sovereignty Tour. They were in downtown Vancouver Monday, at CBC Plaza, and were officially welcomed by the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s

Sacred Trust Initiative. Tsleil-Waututh leaders who spoke at the rally outside the CBC office made clear that Wet’suwet’en’s struggle against a pipeline is also their own struggle. The Tsleil-Waututh and their Sacred Trust Initiative have been steadfastly opposed to expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

“The Wet’suwet’en have been under attack. Their land has been under attack. Their waters have been under attack. I’ve been there. I’ve had the honour to swim in your rivers, and drink right out from the river and I know what you are protecting. And I know why,” said Charlene Aleck, a three-time Continued on page 25

DNV council trades parking for rentals

BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

More rentals, less parking. That’s the compromise struck for an already-approved but stalled mixeduse residential/commercial project in Maplewood.

Council voted in 2018 to rezone Maplewood Plaza to include 155 strata apartments and townhouses, along with 28 market rental units and 10 below-market rentals. But the project never started construction and, in 2022 the family that owned the property and carried it through the rezoning process sold it to a partnership between Darwin Properties and QuadReal Property Group. Together, they announced plans in March to convert the building’s strata homes into rentals. The project was back before District of North Vancouver council July 18 to make that change, along with elimination of one level of underground parking from the project, taking the total number of residential parking spaces from 255 down to 158. To mitigate the loss of parking, the developer has committed to some “transportation demand measures,” including the installation of a new bike lane and sidewalk along the east side of Old Dollarton Road from Front Street to Dollarton Highway to link up with existing bike routes, 82 additional individually locking bike stalls within the building, improvements to the transit stop on Old Dollarton and real-time transit information being displayed inside the lobby of the buildings on the site. Council members were unanimous that converting the property to all-rental was a good move toward housing affordability. But the parking variance triggered an

ONLINE SURVEY

Local residents don’t favour lawsuits against Big Oil, poll finds BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

There is a movement underway from environmental groups urging municipalities to sue major fossil fuel companies for damages related to climate change.

The already-approved Maplewood Plaza project in North Vancouver will be converted from mostly strata to all rental. RHAH

oft-repeated dilemma in the council chamber: If a project has too many parking spots, it will be blamed for increasing local traffic; if it has too few, it will be blamed for putting more pressure on existing street parking. “I will tell you that the streets are filled with cars. Front Street is absolutely packed with cars. One of the reasons, in my opinion, is that there’s not enough parking in the rental building that sits on Front,” said Coun. Lisa Muri. “What has become very, very clear is that if there’s a place to park on the road, people are going to use it.” Coun. Mathew Bond countered the area is well served by transit and has plenty of shopping and other amenities just steps away, meaning it shouldn’t require as much parking. “It’s part of our move to go … from a community where most people drive almost

everywhere, most of the time, to a community where more people walk, bike, and take transit more of the time,” he said. Without eliminating a level of underground parking, the project likely wouldn’t be financially viable as all-rental, Bond added. Mayor Mike Little indicated sooner or later, unregulated, free-for-all street parking would have to come to an end. “I also want staff to get the message on this one that we have to be more actively managing parking in the neighbourhood. It cannot just be long-term storage of people’s cars. That needs to be accounted for on private property,” he said. Council voted 5-1 to approve the change with only Muri opposed. Coun. Megan Curren did not attend the meeting.

The North Shore’s trails and waterfront have taken a beating in recent years thanks to worsening storms. But, a poll of North Shore residents finds little support for suing oil companies to cover the cost. North Shore News polled readers and asked the question: Should municipalities sue oil companies for climate change damages? The poll ran from Aug. 4 to Aug. 15 on our website. Of the 1,123 votes, we can determine that 412 are from within the community. Of those polled, 23 per cent agreed with the lawsuits. Another 17 per cent said they liked the idea but worried it would be a waste if the case failed in court. The majority, 60 per cent, said cities should focus on local issues only. Results are based on an online study of adult North Shore News readers who are located in North Vancouver and West Vancouver. The margin of error – which measures sample variability – is +/2.92%, 19 times out of 20. North Shore News uses a variety of techniques to capture data, detect and prevent fraudulent votes, detect and prevent robots, and filter out non-local and duplicate votes.

NORTH VAN COURT

Former WV teacher pleads guilty to possession of child pornography BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

A former West Vancouver teacher has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.

Joseph Scott William McLeod, known as “Joey McLeod” in his professional capacity, was suspended from his position as a counsellor at West Vancouver Secondary in January 2021, after North Vancouver RCMP members executed a search warrant at his home and arrested him. Police were acting on an investigation

started by the RCMP’s integrated child exploitation unit. The Crown charged McLeod with possession of child pornography in July of that year. McLeod was set for a procedural appearance in North Van provincial court on Aug. 3 when he and his lawyer Catherine Rose opted to enter a guilty plea. “He is informed of the nature and consequences of this plea and that he understands that if there is a deal between the Crown and myself, that it is up to the judge what the sentence will be,” Rose told the court.

McLeod, who appeared via video from Ontario, then entered his guilty plea. The Crown then sought a pre-sentence report including a psychological assessment. The case is due JOEY MCLEOD back in court in October. McLeod had been employed in the West Vancouver school district since 2017. In 2019-20, he was listed as a Grade 8 counsellor in the student yearbook. Prior to that, he

taught at McMath Secondary in Richmond. At the time of the arrest, West Van schools superintendent Chris Kennedy said he was told by investigators that McLeod’s charge was not connected to any students in his school. Since his arrest, McLeod has been on bail with conditions to stay away from pools, playgrounds and community centres where people under the age of 18 are known to gather unless his bail supervisor gives him permission. He is also banned from being in contact or alone with anyone under the age of 14 unless another adult is present.

Clinic failed to warn woman of test results before fatal cancer diagnosis, suit alleges BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

The province is suing the operators of a former North Vancouver medical clinic, alleging they failed to warn a patient of irregular Pap test results, which they say was a contributing factor in her death at the age of 33 from cancer.

According to the civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Katheryn Byer was a patient at the Lower Lonsdale Medical Clinic. In February 2016, she came for a routine Pap test, and the specimen was sent to the BC Cancer Agency for analysis. The following month, the agency reported back that Byer’s results showed “atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance,” along with a recommendation for Byer to have another test in six months’ time. The defendants had a duty to inform Byer of the results as well the BC Cancer Agency’s recommendation for another test, the claim states, and to arrange for further care. But the clinic closed at the end of 2017, “leaving Byer without a family doctor,” the legal documents note. “It is claimed that K. Byer was unaware of their abnormal 2016 Pap test results and was unaware of the BC Cancer Agency recommendations regarding the need for repeat testing,” the suit asserts. “As a result of the failure of the defendants, singly or together, to inform K. Byer about their medical condition and the BC Cancer Agency recommendations, between 2016 and 2019, K. Byer’s medical condition worsened, and they

developed cervical cancer, illness and injury and died on Oct. 19, 2021.” The suit names the doctors and medical office assistants working in the clinic at the time. None of the province’s allegations have been heard in court or proven. By failing to inform Byer, monitor her condition and arrange for followup care and testing, the province alleges the clinic’s staff breached the standard of care required by law. That breach and negligence either caused or contributed to Byer’s physical and psychological suffering, losses, expenses and death, the province alleges. The civil claim is filed by a lawyer working with the Ministry of Health’s legal division. In the suit, the province is only asking the courts to order the defendants to pay back the cost of Byer’s care after she became sick, which is a legal option available under B.C.’s Health Care Costs Recovery Act. Byer was a single mom to a five-year-old daughter at the time she passed away. At the height of her illness, Byer’s plight was covered by the local newspaper in Maple Ridge, where she lived. Community members rallied to raise money for her as she was going through chemotherapy. After her death, a GoFundMe set up by an aunt raised more than $28,000 to be held in trust for her daughter. “Kathryn was an amazing woman whose one big goal in life was to be a mother. She always loved kids and devoted her personal and professional life to them,” the GoFundMe statement read.

Crown seeks jail time for climate protester from West Vancouver MARIA RANTANEN / RICHMOND NEWS

mrantanen@richmond-news.com

Raising awareness about the climate crisis versus upholding the rule of law were the issues laid out in front of a judge Aug. 8 as three protesters faced charges of blocking traffic close to YVR in October last year. All three, Donna Clark, Susan Bibbings and James Darling, have pleaded guilty to mischief charges. But Bibbings faces one more count for taking part in another protest in West Vancouver in June. The Crown prosecutor, Ellen Leno, is asking for her to be sentenced to a week in jail. Defence lawyer, Elisabeth Strain, was asking for conditional sentences for all three, saying a criminal record would impede the paid and volunteer work they do. Strain outlined how Bibbings, who lives in West Vancouver, suffers from anxiety due to the climate crisis, leading her to take part in

the protests. But the Crown argued that Bibbings requires “specific deterrence” because she took part in the West Vancouver protest in June even while her first charge in Richmond was before the courts. This should be “reflected in the sentence imposed,” which should be a seven-day jail sentence, according to the prosecutor. In the second protest, Bibbings allegedly glued her hand to the road near the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. Leno said conditional sentences for other protesters have not deterred further protests, some of which have shut down public infrastructure. The primary sentencing principles are “denunciation and deterrence,” Leno explained in her submission, which contribute to the “respect for the law and the maintenance of a just, peaceful and safe Continued on page 10

NEWSBRIEFS NORTH VAN RCMP SEEK WITNESSES TO INDECENT ACT

North Vancouver RCMP have arrested a man for exposing himself to people in Lynn Canyon Park – but they are urging the witness who first reported the offender to come forward. The incident happened on July 31 around 6 p.m. District of North Vancouver park rangers alerted RCMP officers patrolling the park that a woman had come forward with a report of a man exposing himself to hikers. While on patrol, officers came across other hikers who saw the suspect exposing himself to people near 30 Foot Pool. Nearby they found and arrested a man who matched the suspect description, although he has not yet been charged. The file remains under investigation. A critical piece of that investigation, however, may be missing. Park rangers did not get the name and contact information of the woman who first reported the indecent act. “If you are the person who advised park rangers of the indecent act on July 31, we are asking for you to contact

North Vancouver RCMP at 604-9851311,” said Cpl. Melissa Jongema, North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson. Jongema said anyone who may have seen the suspect is urged to come forward. The suspect, a Delta man in his 30s, was released and will be required to appear in North Vancouver provincial court at a later date. In the meantime, he’s under court order not to return to Lynn Canyon Park. “Thanks to the witnesses and to the actions of both the park rangers and RCMP officers on patrol, the suspect was quickly arrested. We want to reassure the public that RCMP will continue to conduct regular patrols in District of North Vancouver parks throughout summer,” Jongema said. – Brent Richter

POLICE RENEW PLEA IN SEARCH FOR MISSING NV SENIOR Almost three weeks after a North Vancouver senior didn’t return from a walk, he’s still missing and police are appealing to the public for information. The last confirmed sighting of George Michas, 74, was on Monday, July 25 at 10 a.m., according to police.

He was walking near West First Street at Chesterfield Avenue. Michas, who has medical conditions George Michas, 74, that make him was reported missing vulnerable, July 27. NORTH VAN RCMP often walks to parks in the Lower Lonsdale area, said Cpl. Melissa Jongema. But the senior is also known to take longer walks on the North Shore. Jongema said Michas left his cell phone at home when he went out July 25. “This is out of character,” she added. Jongema said she had no information to indicate that Michas was depressed or dealing with a mental health crisis. Michas is described as a white male of average height. He weighs about 170 pounds and has short salt-and-pepper grey hair and facial hair. He was last seen wearing a green T-shirt, black shorts, and possibly blue running shoes. – Brent Richter

Courting disaster

new poll finds North Shore residents aren’t keen on the plan for municipalities to sue oil companies for climate change damages, as the City of Vancouver plans to do. It’s a divisive issue. It’s true, our infrastructure is already taking a very expensive beating thanks to the climate crisis. We have every reason to believe things will get worse before better. But there’s also a very large risk of this lawsuit becoming a big waste of money if the case fails on its merits in court. No matter the outcome, we predict years of appeals. At worst, it could prove to be a costly distraction from the much larger struggle we must face – learning to live without carbon. The fight against climate change cannot be won in a courtroom. It can only come from the policies that are enacted by our Parliament, legislatures and municipal

councils. There are regulatory approaches like mandating an end to the sale of internal combustion vehicles and requiring higher efficiency buildings. There are large-scale measures like unplugging our power grids from fossil fuels. There are incentives to encourage wider adoption of energy retrofits. There is more research and development that industry must do to clean up its own act. And there are planning approaches like concentrating our growing population within more efficient communities. These are areas where our local councils are already failing to do the utmost, especially in the North Shore’s two district municipalities. If we cannot accept these incremental changes in our way of living, we have no choice but to face ones that are far more ominous.

Little Leaguers’ World Series dream still vivid after 50 years Starting today, some of the best young baseball players on the planet will be fighting for glory at the Little League World Series, and a group of North Vancouverites in their 60s will be watching and wondering what might have been for them, 50 years ago.

Nine players and two coaches from the 1972 North Van Jaycees Little League team reunited last month to relive a bittersweet summer that saw them joining together in the chase for a near unattainable goal. The Jaycees were a scrappy little team that succeeded not by strength or size but because they worked relentlessly at the skills and details of the game, spending nearly every waking hour on the diamond during their quest to become the first North Shore team to make the Little League World Series. “We’d get to the park at about 9:30 in the morning and we wouldn’t leave until basically eight o’clock at night,” said Ian McInnes, an outfielder who was the driving force, along with teammate Brian Smith, behind the team’s 50-year reunion. The Jaycees put up lopsided victories

to win the District 5 11/12 Allstar championships, and then topped a powerful Coquitlam team in a tight three-game series in the sectionLaugh All You Want als to earn a spot in Andy Prest the provincial championships, hosted by Trout Lake Little League in Vancouver. Things were a little different back then, said McInnes, recalling how the team travelled to their road games. “We would ride in this old step van, and they crammed the kids in the back of this thing and bounced across the Second Narrows Bridge on the way to Trout Lake,” he said with laugh. “Fifteen kids crammed into this little step van, just bouncing off the floors.” The road got even bumpier on the field as the Jaycees lost their second game at provincials, against South Vancouver, putting them on the brink of elimination. But they wouldn’t lose again in the tournament,

ripping off three straight wins, including a victory over the perennial powerhouse team from Trail in the final to claim the B.C. title and a trip to the national championships. Their goal was within reach. The national championships were held in Edmonton, and the Jaycees again lost their second game, this time against the Windsor South Canadians. But they again battled back to make the final, getting another crack at Windsor with a berth in the World Series on the line. They were on the way to victory too, leading 5-4, when a controversial play derailed their quest. A Windsor baserunner plowed over Jaycees catcher Randy Ruckman, which was no small feat considering what a tank Ruckman was, said McInnes. The collision allowed two runners to score in what would be a 6-5 win for the Ontario team. “The disappointment still burns,” said McInnes. “We just happened to have a couple of weird breaks, and that’s the way baseball can be sometimes.... It still is very, very hard for any of us to talk about losing that final game.”

There were, however, plenty of happier moments for the players to talk about when they reunited for a day in July. “Even though 50 years had passed, we looked each other in the eye and all the memories came flooding back,” McInnes said. “It was really a moving moment.” The day included a trip to Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park, a fitting location given that he helped coach the Jaycees. Zuehlke was a fielding and batting coach on a staff that was led by head coach Derek Ward and assistant coach Bill Burnham, along with Chris’s brother Buzz Zuehlke, Dave Messmer, and North Shore Sports Hall of Famer Dave Empey The loss against Windsor in the Canadian final still stings, but over the years the Jaycees have come to appreciate the journey that took them so close to their goal. “It was pretty much the highlight of most of our lives,” McInnes said. Fifty years later, a reunion brought all those memories back to life, McInnes said. “Nobody wanted the day to end.” aprest@nsnews.com

HOW CAN $1,200 RENT BE ‘AFFORDABLE’ FOR A WEST VAN SENIOR ON FIXED INCOME?

LIST OF REGISTERED ELECTORS

Re: Affordable Rental Units for Seniors Sitting Empty in North Vancouver, Aug. 4 news story. I moved to Kiwanis eight years ago when it was affordable and fun. Charles Bristow was the property manager and a champion. He created a happy community by listening and participating. There was also flexibility when a need arose. It was a sad day when he retired. My rent is $960. It was $900. My friend inquired about renting and was told there was nothing under $1,200. She, like many other seniors, is desperate to find affordable housing. With a monthly income of less than $2,000, how can $1,500 be considered affordable? It seems that financial considerations are above welfare of seniors. Alternatives? We were considering a life of crime. Alas, we were just not fast enough. There’s much more. Some residents are afraid to complain or offer an opinion because they fear eviction.

There is a program called SAFER (Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters) run by BC Housing. They help low-income seniors with their rent payments. Seniors need to know that this program is available and that they may be eligible.

TALE OF BABY’S NEAR DROWNING SPARKS CHILDHOOD MEMORY Dear Editor:

Re: Who Was Baby Rescued from Deep Cove Drowning in ’78?, Aug. 10 community news story. A poignant story I can relate to. In the late 1950s, when I would have been perhaps five or six years old, my mom and I were staying at the old Wigwam Inn at the far north end of Indian Arm. My mom was an accomplished pianist and was playing for the guests in the lobby. I was poking around down on the boat dock, with no life jacket. Like the kid in the story, I was looking down into the water and tripped over the board at the edge, falling into the water. I had taken a few swimming lessons at the YMCA on Burrard Street, so knew just enough to kick with my feet. But my head was submerged. I can still remember the eerie green light ... never have wanted to become a scuba diver! Fortunately for me, there was an adult down the dock; he came over and pulled me out, presenting the dripping me to my mom up at the lodge. I’m sure he was thanked; had there been no one else on the dock that day I wouldn’t be writing this. Closing the circle – when my dad Alex passed away in early 2003, at his request, we scattered his ashes in the waters off Wigwam Inn. He had loved powerboating, fishing and water skiing up there.

The five firefighters are among a special crew trained to protect vulnerable buildings in areas near to active wildfires, said Fire Chief Brian Hutchinson. Most likely, the local firefighters will be helping to protect buildings at Apex Mountain, one of the more significant communities being threatened by the Keremeos Creek fire. But crews will also move around, depending on where their skills are needed. “You typically have in these more rural areas a mix of farming, ranching and small homes throughout the area,” said Hutchinson. The Keremeos Creek fire, one of the largest wildfires to flare up in the province this summer, was first spotted July 29, burning about 21 kilometres southwest of Penticton. By Monday, the BC Wildfire Service estimated the fire at approximately 6,950 hectares in size. Fire activity remained mostly stable over the weekend, thanks to favourable weather conditions that allowed fire crews to make progress, according to the

BC Wildfire Service. An evacuation order for several areas impacted by the fire remains in effect. The five North Vancouver firefighters heading to Keremeos include Darryl Emmett, Ryan Koenig, Nolan Pick, firefighter Konst and Captain Glenford Carnie. They will be among 27 structure protection specialists and 329 firefighters currently working on the wildfire, along with 17 helicopters and 22 pieces of heavy equipment. Every year, the BC Wildfire Service engages with fire departments across the province to compile a list of available firefighters and equipment that can be called upon if needed. A three-person structure protection crew with a truck-style “wildland fire engine” from District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue has also just returned from assisting wildfire crews at another fire near Sparwood. Last summer, District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue supplied 45 firefighters across the province during the summer forest fire season, said Hutchinson. Their work helps support communities impacted by wildfires and also provides valuable training for local crews. “There’s a host of lessons learned in the field,” said Hutchinson. Smoke is expected to continue in the impacted area until significant rainfall.

LOUTET PARK

Urban farm serves up fresh produce and local food security NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

It once was a garbage dump. Then it was infilled as part of building the Upper Levels Highway. Now the plot of land is home to a park, a beloved community garden and a farm that sells fresh produce every week during harvest season.

Given that it’s just a bit of soil with hardpan underneath, it’s said to be a bit miraculous that much grows there at all. But for over a decade, staff at Loutet Farm have nurtured the earth and created a local source of food. Now, through the Edible Garden Project, the North Even though Shore’s first urban it’s more farm hosts biweekly hidden, markets and is a there are community hub for a bunch of knowledge-sharing people who and produce-growcome to our ing initiatives. market with Obviously, North food coupons Van is a pretty that they get affluent neighbourthrough the hood, says market Association coordinator Becca of Farmers Eastman.

is, even if they don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. What’s key to the project is getting more people engaged in the process of growing and harvesting produce. “When we get those skills, it’s going to encourage people to grow in their own backyards, give it to their families, eat it themselves, give it to their friends and try to go from this globalized system that I

don’t think is going to keep working that well, and bring it more into our communities,” Eastman continued. In 2005, the Edible Garden Project kicked off after Vancouver Coastal Health identified a gap in access to fresh, local produce on the North Shore. That analysis spurred a group of people passionate about improving access to local food to take action.

The City of North Vancouver helped to secure funding early on and continues to support the project. North Shore Neighbourhood House was also an early partner, and eventually brought the garden project under its wing. According to the organization, when the first sharing garden opened in 2006, it had a $30,000 budget, one part-time Continued on page 22

WILDLIFE ACT CHARGES

West Vancouver bear feeder’s sentencing postponed BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver man’s sentencing for deliberately feeding a mother bear and her cub has been postponed.

Vitali Shevchenko caused an uproar in 2018 when video and photos of his family hand-feeding bears from their West Vancouver backyard circulated widely on social media. In 2020, the Crown charged Shevchenko with two counts under the provincial Wildlife Act – one charge of leaving attractants

for dangerous wildlife and one charge of feeding dangerous wildlife. The matter has been inching its way through the courts since then, delayed in part by COVID-19. Last October, Whistler resident Zuzana Stevikova received a $60,000 fine for feeding bears from her home. The B.C. Conservation Office Service said at the time that it was the highest overall penalty ever imposed under the B.C.’s Wildlife Act. Stevikova has since appealed the fine.

Shevchenko appeared by phone in North Vancouver provincial court on Aug. 10 for his sentencing. But Crown prosecutor John Cryder said it would make more sense to wait until the appeals court has rendered its decision on Stevikova’s sentence. “Mr. Shevchenko has got a similar offence and so that [appeal] is going to have a significant impact on the sentencing position, one way or the other,” he said. Shevchenko is due back in court in September to set a sentencing date.

As part of the event, organizer Hub Cycling will also share tips on how to carry your groceries home by bike, where to find secure bike parking, and how to find safe bike routes to shopping destinations. Did you know there’s a bike stop at Park Royal North, with a tire pump and a map of North Shore bike routes? It’s near the entrance to Loblaws City Market. West Vancouver resident Peter Scholefield is one of 2,000 riders expected to participate in this year’s event. He says that running errands on his bike helps keep his living costs down at a time when many are feeling the pinch. “It’s a pleasant two-kilometre bike ride from my home to Park Royal South, with most of my ride on the protected and scenic Spirit Trail,” he said in a statement. “Cycling this route is much more enjoyable and safer than driving to Park Royal along Marine Drive. “I also avoid traffic congestion and don’t have to pay for expensive gas to run a car – plus I get some healthy exercise and don’t produce any greenhouse gas emissions. When I get to Park Royal, parking is never a problem as there are numerous bike racks.”

THE POLYGON

Stan Douglas’s Venice Biennale exhibit coming to North Van NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

Many Vancouverites look back at the 2011 Stanley Cup riot with shame. As the chaotic evening of June 15 unfolded, countless images of jubilant vandalism and even romance spread across the internet.

You could have chalked up the bedlam to decades of disappointed fandom. Vancouver-based artist Stan Douglas saw a larger theme. His acclaimed exhibition 2011 Comparatively, ≠ 1848, which it’s far from premiered at the certain how Venice Biennale, the activism, features four riots, and large-scale photooccupations graphs depicting that erupted political unrest across the in 2011 and the globe in 2011 lasting legacy of might become those movements. manifest in These images are years to come. all in Douglas’s GALLERY DIRECTOR signature style REID SHIER of meticulously re-staged scenes meant to condense several ideas into one still.

7 win against the Boston Bruins – celebrating the blaze of a burning vehicle outside the Canada Post building on Georgia Street. The other images chronicle the start of the Arab Spring in Tunis on Jan. 12 with sit-ins and protests along Avenue Habib Bourguiba; clashes between youth and police in London on Aug. 9; and the arrest of Occupy Wall Street protesters on Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Oct. 1. The exhibit will make its Canadian premiere at North Vancouver’s The Polygon

Gallery, Sept. 9 to Nov. 6, before touring across the country to destinations that include the Remai Modern and National Gallery of Canada. In addition to the still images, a video installation by Douglas called ISDN shows a fictionalized collaboration between rappers in London’s grime and Cairo’s mahraganat music scenes. “ISDN presents grime and mahraganat as the soundtrack to the 2011 revolts, highlighting the nature of how information

spreads in today’s era of social media and 24-hour news cycles,” according to a statement. “This is in contrast with the revolutions of 1848, a series of social and political upheavals across Europe that spread through print media.” The Polygon’s director Reid Shier said 2011 ≠ 1848 is a meditation on the similarities and differences of those two years. “The revolutions of 1848 have been called the Springtime of Nations, though it would be decades after the events of that year before Europe would see significant political change,” he said. “Comparatively, it’s far from certain how the activism, riots, and occupations that erupted across the globe in 2011 might become manifest in years to come.” For the project’s unveiling in Venice, Douglas’s photographs were shown in the Canada Pavilion in the Giardini, and ISDN was located at Magazzini del Sale, a 16th-century salt warehouse. The Polygon exhibition will also feature a fifth photograph, “London, 2011-08-09 (Mare Street),” a companion to Douglas’s Pembury Estate image depicting the London riots in Hackney. The show’s opening party is on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. An artist talk with Douglas and other programming is set to be announced in early September.

AMAZING FEAT

Cerebral palsy can’t keep 11-year-old from Grouse Grind goals NICK LABA

It took him 11 hours. At the three-quarter mark, he felt like he couldn’t take another step.

Richie does fall over a lot, whatever he’s doing – walking, skiing, mountain biking – but we always get back up again. RICHARD GRIMES

But Richie Grimes made it all the way up the Grouse Grind, despite the lack of mobility in his lower body caused by spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. His dad, Richard Grimes, said their family has a motto for everything they do. “Get back up again,” he said. “Richie does fall over a

lot, whatever he’s doing – walking, skiing, mountain biking – but we always get back up again. “I would say that covers all of the challenges he faces. He’s extremely persistent, he never gives up.” At the top of the trail, Richie said he felt really proud of himself, acknowledging it was a hard challenge. “I really felt honoured that my friends had done this with me, even my cousins who live on Vancouver Island came over,” Richie said. His grandparents did the hike too. The North Vancouver boy, who’s now 11 years old, made the climb last year ahead of his birthday on July 23. Richie is sharing his triumph ahead of this year’s BC Children’s Hospital Dream Lottery, with proceeds going to research and specialized pediatric care.

Richie has had multiple surgeries and gets botox injections to treat the chronic stiffness caused by his condition. All of that happens through BC Children’s Hospital. He also has his gait assessed at the motion lab, a joint project between the hospital and adjacent Sunny Hill Health Centre. Richie continues to make gains in his active life, which he said helps him to be stronger. Earlier this month, he headed up to Whistler for Crankworx mountain bike festival, and to do some off-road cycling of his own. Next year, Richie said he plans to ride in the festival’s adaptive race. He’s also working on being able to ski independently. His dad said they’re going to try some backcountry skiing routes when he’s able. And on his 13th birthday, Richie wants to hike the Grind again and beat his record of 11 hours (and three minutes).

Continued from page 13 staffer, 20 volunteers and six square metres of growing space. As of 2021, the project had grown to a $220,000 budget, three full-time and two part-time staffers, 300 volunteers, 5,260 square feet of growing space and 3,500 participants. In 2011, workers first broke ground at Loutet. Five years later, the half-acre urban farm met its goal of being revenue-neutral – quite the transformation from the farm and surrounding parkland’s former identity as a landfill as late as 1959. Most of We have to do sustainability – the crops grown it’s just the way on the farm are sold, with revenue to go. going back to the VOLUNTEER LESLIE LARSON Neighbourhood House. But goods from the North Shore’s five sharing gardens go directly into the pantries of those with the greatest need, Eastman explained, via women’s shelters, social housing or food banks. Public participation at the farm quieted over the past couple years, but things started opening up again in April, drawing familiar faces and new hands too. “I came in April, and it’s been absolutely wonderful,” said Leslie Larson, a North Vancouver resident of 35 years. The staff are amazing to work with, “even if

you screw up really badly,” she chuckled. The work started with amending all the garden beds. Larson helped with the top dressing, composting, broad forking and wheel-barrowing of chips to fill the walkways. Then she aided in starting up the market, assisting at the cashier and welcoming station, and setting up the newsletter. “That’s really valuable because it tells you everything that’s fresh at the market,” she said of the newsletter, “And it has seminars that are free.” Larson, who now lives in a townhouse complex, misses the gardening she used to at her house. Working at Loutet has been a great outlet. “I tried to switch careers many years ago to gardening, to doing this kind of thing,” she said. “And no one would take me because of my financial background.” Larson said she spreads the word about the work being done at Loutet Farm all the time. Above all, she’s learned what’s possible out of a small area. “We can do this more through the North Shore,” she said. “We have to do sustainability – it’s just the way to go.” If you’d like to get involved at Loutet, you can sign up to volunteer on the Edible Garden Project website, at ediblegardenproject.com. The next orientation and info session is on Saturday, Aug. 31.

New Lynn Creek bridge to cost $5M

Continued from page 1 Street and Mountain Highway today via a 1.2-kilometre detour up to Keith Road, it would about 16 minutes on foot (or longer via Main Street). A direct route over Lynn Creek would reduce that to about seven minutes. And unlike the congested roads/truck routes, a serene walk through two wooded parks and over a running creek should be a lot more pleasant, Weisenbach said. “Not everybody wants to walk along or cycle along a busy street, and so we are trying to create these town centres so people do want to walk and cycle and take transit to get to where they want to be,” Weisenbach said. “Part of that is providing safe and comfortable routes.”

The trail will be well lit and paved with improved connections to Lynnmouth Avenue, Mountain Highway, Brooksbank Avenue, the Slalop Trail and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s new bike routes through Lower Lynn, Weisenbach said. The new Lynn Creek bridge connection was approved by council in 2017. The budget for the project is roughly $5-million with grants from TransLink covering about half of the cost. The goal is to have the new crossing open by the end of 2022, Weisenbach said. The next big piece will be figuring out the best route connecting the Spirit Trail from Maplewood all the way to Deep Cove.

Black bear takes a dip in backyard pond BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

Everybody knows, on a hot day, there’s nothing like a cool dip and a chilled snack to bring some comfort.

West Vancouver resident Myron Claridge snapped photos of a local black bear doing just that near his Westport Road backyard, Thursday. The bear had been munching on blackberries near the rail line and in the neighbour’s yard “before coming back and deciding he would go for a dip in our fish pond and fill his face with the lily flowers and a pot of lilies,” Claridge said in an email to the North Shore News. “Ain’t nature wonderful.” It’s been a busy summer for bear sightings on the North Shore, said Christine Miller with the North Shore Black Bear Society, which means it’s been a busy summer for the society’s volunteers going out to canvass hot spots in hopes of getting people informed before it’s too late for the bruins. “Some of them are quite comfortable around people. They’ve obviously visited before and got food from garbage containers and birdfeeders,” Miller said. “That suits some people

A black bear swims in a West Vancouver backyard fish pond and eats some water lilies, on Thursday of last week. MYRON CLARIDGE and alarms others. Our education program is pretty robust and having to fulfill lots of needs in the community.” Thankfully, there have not been many serious problems to report, Miller said. So far this summer, two bears have been killed after being struck by drivers on Highway 1. Last month, conservation officers shot a bear after it entered a home in West Vancouver and began eating frozen food out of the freezer, Miller said, and she’s aware of two that had been

killed in Lions Bay. In the summer of 2021, seven bears were killed on the North Shore in July alone. One problem that has been coming up a lot this summer is people putting food scraps in with their garbage in the District of North Vancouver. Those should be going into organics carts, which are lockable and get picked up earlier in the day. “The bears will go to a cul-de-sac or street on garbage day, and they just knock them all down, and they just feast,” she said.

big studies to figure things out. Look at the floods. Look at the fires.” George reiterated that despite the federal government’s approvals in place and construction underway, the TMX pipeline will never be completed. Hereditary Chief Namoks (John Ridsdale) drew attention to the violence his land defenders have faced from the RCMP in the name of forcing the Coastal Gas Link pipeline through, but also expressed hope and resolve in light of the crowd of supporters who’d come to listen. “When they come at us with such violence, it proves to us how weak they are. Bullies really do not like it when you stand up to them. And that’s what industry and the elected governments are at this point in history,” he said. “We’re changing history and for the better.”

Continued from page 1 elected member of Tsleil-Waututh Nation council. “What you know to be good and true in life is being punished by the federal government, by these industries. And there has to come a time where we realize enough is enough.” Rueben George, spokesperson for the Sacred Trust Initiative, said the Wet’suwet’en’s fight to protect their territory is part of the larger fight in the climate crisis. Everyone’s desire to protect the Earth should come as naturally as a parent’s love for their newborn child, George said. “When they’re born and they’re a baby and [you] hold them and love them, you create a reciprocal relationship with spirit between yourself and the baby. That’s how we think with the water, with the land, with the air,” he said. “And we don’t have to do

Kent Johnson scores rare ‘Michigan’ goal for Canada KYLE BALZER / TRICITY NEWS

kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Kent Johnson played hockey at the University of Michigan for two seasons before signing an NHL contract earlier this year.

So, it’s only fitting that he’d try – and succeed – in pulling off the “Michigan” goal on one of the biggest stages in international hockey. The Port Moody product scored what could arguably be the goal of the tournament thus far at the rescheduled 2022 World Junior Championships. On Saturday, with Canada tied 1-1 with the Czech Republic, the 19-year-old player scooped up the puck on the end of his stick behind the opposing country’s net when it came loose. He then brought the biscuit up to the crossbar and tucked it in the cage over the right shoulder of goaltender Tomas Suchanek for the 2-1 advantage with one minute left in the first period. Johnson celebrated and his teammates appeared to be in utter shock as the lacrosse-style goal is either rarely succeeded or rarely attempted at any level of the sport. This is due to its need for perfect timing, precise stick-handling skills, an awareness of your surroundings and perhaps a sleeping or unprepared netminder. “It was a great feeling [to score a lacrosse-style goal], and a great goal especially given the timing of it,” he said in a release from Hockey Canada following the preliminary match, which ended in a 5-1 victory for the host country. “It all happened pretty quick; I just found a loose puck behind the net and I noticed there was not a defenceman covering the right post. I just went for it and saw there was a lot of room to work with. I would have been happy to have a goal go in off my skate, but I was pretty pumped that it

worked out.” The first-ever “Michigan” goal was scored by Mike Legg at the 1996 NCAA Div. I Frozen Four Championship while playing for the University of Michigan. Since then, athletes have tried to pull it off themselves in multiple leagues – most notably Trevor Zegras of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks who scored two of them in the 202122 season. The rare flare was the eighth international goal of Johnson’s career, which included some from recent stints with Canada at the men’s world championships and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The North Shore Winter Club alum currently has four points through four games at the 2022 World Juniors redux, including two assists, and has a plus-four (+4) rating as a second-line left-wing skater. Johnson was named an alternate captain for Canada – the first time he’s ever been given a letter on a national roster. He’s one of 16 returning Canadians on its 25-man roster, which also includes North Vancouver’s Connor Bedard, Victoria’s Dylan Garand and Kamloops’ Logan Stankoven. “[Johnson’s] goal was incredible. It is not something that you see every day, and I had a front-row seat to it,” Stankoven said, who plays on the same line as Johnson. “I was digging for the puck and it popped out to Kent, and he scooped it onto his stick so quickly. The next thing you know, the puck was in the back of the net.” Before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the initial tourney to cancel, Johnson was able to score his first goal as a member of the under-20 team. In his first NHL season, Johnson notched three assists in nine games played with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Canada beat Finland 6-3 on Monday and faces Switzerland in the quarter-finals today. Puck drop is at 4 p.m.

SEYMOUR ART GALLERY

Children of Takaya exhibit highlights emerging artists NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

In Deep Cove, there’s nothing to indicate you’re on the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh People.

TsuKwalton (Jonas Jones) is working to change that. He’s the curator of the Children of Takaya exhibition, which opened Saturday at Seymour Art Gallery. The show features works from seven emerging Tsleil-Waututh artists, including Jordan Gallie, Robert George, Ocean Hyland, Syvawn Paul and Jones himself. Pieces are also on display from Olivia George, whose art has been featured on Mt Seymour seasons passes, and Canada Rugby Sevens tournament medals. With multiple artist residencies over the past year, including one with Vancouver Mural Festival, 27-year-old Jonas has been thinking about how to utilize space to generate more exposure for his culture. “If you come to Deep Cove, there’s no representation of my people. There’s zero knowledge of what was here before,” he said. “And I was thinking of, ‘What’s a contemporary way I can bring recognition to my people?’” “So I said, ‘What if I brought in other youth from my nation, and then put on a show?’” In tandem with creating more recognition, Jones said he wants to make it a pivotal moment in teaching other ethnicities when they come into the room. “Because artwork is more than just art to most Indigenous people,” he explained. “In residential schools and the effects of what

happened during colonization, it was all stripped from us. The way we were able to hold on to our culture was through art, through carvings, through painting, through canoe making,” he continued. “Our stories are going into these pieces… and that’s how my ancestors had to carry on our knowledge.” Over the past two years, Jones has been apprenticing under master carver Ses Siyam (Ray Natraoro), of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), a prolific carver of masks, totem poles and canoes. As Natraoro learned first-hand from artists like Simon Dick and Rick Harry, Jones learns everything from Natraoro by carving alongside him in person. If Natraoro was doing a portrait, Jones would do a portrait. If Jones wanted to learn how to carve a moon, Natraoro would carve a moon. “It’s a process [where] he gave me a piece of himself, so I can excel quicker,” Jones said. “And that’s what I’ll do for my apprentices.” He describes the experience of learning the ins and outs of curating an art exhibit as a step on his path to building up future generations of Indigenous artists. “See those little guys, little cousins that are coming in here? They’re looking at all of this stuff and they go, ‘Wow, that’s amazing, look at all this artwork … maybe I could do that too,’ which obviously they could.’” Jones said he’s not doing any of this for himself. Instead, he’s looking at the bigger picture, for ways to help youth and other artists in his area progress.

Jonas Jones has been apprenticing under master carver Ray Natraoro for the past two years. Jones is a 20222025 Artist Studio Award recipient from the City of Vancouver. NICK LABA / NSN At the same time, the momentum of his own career could lead to the kind of cultural recognition that’s missing today. Through his involvement with Vancouver Mural Festival, he spoke on a panel sponsored by Herschel. Now the backpack company wants to work with him on a project, Jones said. And through his carving, there are requests-for-proposals to make welcome poles for Tsleil-Waututh Nation. When people see those beautiful carvings, he said people will be impressed by them. “Then they’re going to want one in Deep Cove.” The show ends Sept. 10. Visitors are being warned of heavy traffic, especially on weekends.

The Children of Takaya Dance Group performs in Panorama Park ahead of a reception for the art show, Saturday. NICK LABA / NSN

At the BC Summer Games, July 21-24 in Prince George, competitors from North and West Vancouver brought home 29 medals: six gold, 12 silver and 11 bronze.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

BAILES, Joseph Bryson WW II RAF Veteran On Monday August 8, 2022, Bryson followed the bright white light, probably thinking it was a new type of flashlight. Oops! At the fine age of 100, he outlived his younger sisters Joyce, Norma and his eldest daughter Barbara-Jeanne. His quirky ways will be greatly missed by his daughter Anne-Marie, his niece and nephews and his friend Judy Cox. No service as per his wishes. Bryson was unapologetically himself. Of keen intelligence, he was independent, infuriatingly stubborn and umpy (a word of his own creation). He was a kind and loyal friend, often giving flashlights to those he liked! And to the rest of you, buy your own... they come in handy!

OBITUARIES

CHETWYND, Patricia Marylin (Wilson) December 7, 1936 - July 21, 2022 Patricia Marylin Chetwynd (Wilson) drew her last breath, while in the arms of her daughter and virtually present son. Patricia was born in Sheffield, England, in 1936, where she was raised along with her two siblings, Anthony and Celia. In 1959, she met and, within 6 months, married her husband of 49 years, David. Over the next few years, they started their family first with a son, Paul, then a daughter, Nicole. Always the adventuring duo, they decided it was time to leave England. The criteria on where to go was simple -the first country back with a job offer Mississauga, Canada, it was! In 1979, they once again packed up their family and moved west to Deep Cove. Over the next 40-plus years, Pat made this her home and stayed put after her husband, David, passed in 2009. Pat was a very active in the local community, particularly Deep Cove Stage and the Deep Cove Yacht Club. Pat travelled far, wide, near, and close, to nearly fifty countries, and only missed out visiting one continent (Antarctic). She toured the Gulf Islands, California coast, England and the South of France by bike and hiked both local and far of trails alike. Her last major trek was Spain’s El Camino. She was 75 at the time.

SEEBERG, Charles Raymond June 11, 1955 - July 23, 2022 Beloved brother of Moira Shakour (Robert) and Ted Seeberg (Sylvia). Charlie is now off to join his parents Ted and Joyce, his brother Andrei, and nephew Sol. He is survived by his cousins Renata, George, and Valerie as well as his dear friends Robert Sharkey, Kirk, Jan, Pamm, Brad, and others who meant so much to Charlie. He is also survived by Tuco, his trusty companion. Charlie’s family and friends will be forever grateful to Dr. Sasha Smiljanic and his team at LGH for their excellent care of him and for their loving support. We will also be forever grateful to the Symptoms Management team and Julia at LGH who always made him as comfortable as possible. There will be a private Celebration of Life - a sweet sendoff - for Charlie in September. Charlie was an exceptional person. He was incredibly funny and had a brilliant mind (always researching!). He was also truly kind. He will be in our hearts forever.

Becoming a grandmother was a highlight for Pat and led to many adventures all over the world with her two grandsons. Weary travellers, family and friends were always welcome in the Chetwynd home and always given a bed, a meal, and a drink (or three). Pat will be missed by her son, Paul, and his wife, Junco, their daughter, Nicole, her grandchildren, Nesta and Dayna, siblings, Anthony, and Celia, and by her many other family and friends.

DARNBROUGH, Victoria Hope Anne Our dear Victoria, beloved daughter to Faith and Peter, loving sister to Angelia, dedicated aunt to Peter Grant, and cat mom to Tosh, passed unexpectedly on August 8th. Victoria was known for showering her positive energy and unconditional love on those that she cared for in her life. She was a kind-hearted, loving and giving person who encouraged and supported friends and family. A great cheerleader, she was House Captain in high school, President of AOII sorority at UBC and Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. She pursued a career in learning management and education. Designing engaging courses was her passion. She also loved being a connector of people and was a natural concierge in how she brought people together. She was overjoyed to be Peter’s Aunt and took time to create special memories with him. Victoria loved attending live theatre and international films, in addition to being an avid reader. She had a knack for regaling the plot lines of these stories to the delight of friends and family. Victoria was always fun to be around and lifted you up when you were in need. Her signature greeting to friends was “hi ho hi ho!”. We will be celebrating Victoria’s life next month at her family home in West Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, we would like to support the West Vancouver SPCA.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

LECKER, Shirley (nee Fishman) August 14, 1936 - July 26, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley Lecker at age of 85 at McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge, BC. She will be missed dearly by her partner, John Falkenholt, her children, Mark (Lynn) and Hallie (Martin), and her grandchildren Tori, Mason, and Eliza, to whom she was their adoring “Granny”. Shirley was born in Montreal to Moe and Florence Fishman. As a pioneer in Physiotherapy, she was among the first batch of graduates from a new Physiotherapy Program at McGill University in 1956. She married her ex-husband, the late Alan Lecker, in 1956 and together they started a family in the Montreal suburb of Chomedy in the mid 1960s. In 1971, the family moved to North Vancouver, where Shirley quickly became engaged in the community as a volunteer music teacher at her children’s elementary school, a founding member of Har El Synagogue, an active member of the BC Physiotherapy Association, among many other things. In the mid 2000s, Shirley relocated to Maple Ridge, to be closer to Hallie and Tori. She was a very involved mom and “granny” and was a highly visible attendee at her children’s and grandchildren’s events. Shirley’s love of music permeated almost every activity. Whether accompanying a hootnanny on her melodica around the campfire, leading a warm-up rap at music camp, or bowing her cello in a local orchestra, Shirley’s joy of music was contagious. And it was through music that she met John, a kind and caring tuba player who became her senior year’s life partner, as well as a beloved member of our family. Shirley had a full and meaningful life. She learned to play the cello when she was 60 years old and obtained her Masters Degree in Music Ed. from Thompson Rivers University at the age of 80. She loved to travel and the outdoors, and her many adventures included teaching Physio in China, kayaking in Haida Gwaii, canoeing the Bowron Lakes, and cycling around the Netherlands. All after the age of 50!

OBITUARIES

MacDONALD, Myron Keith November 11, 1941 - August 7, 2022 Myron died early Sunday morning, August the 7th, at home in West Vancouver. He was surrounded by the people who loved him, most of whom had been patients from his medical practice. For this we are grateful. He practiced medicine in West Vancouver for over 40 years and cherished his patients like family. His practice was unique, connecting the discipline of conventional medicine with complementary, alternative, therapies. His focus was healingoriented rather than disease focused; integrating mind, body, and spirit to achieve wellbeing. Myron was also an adventurer, he took a 4-year break early in his career (late 70’s) to sail around the world with his wife Leslie, and friends Lyle and Davie. His love of the environment led him to purchasing property in Clayoquot Sound in order to protect the landscape, and its wildlife. This was his favourite place on earth, and he spent as much time there as he could. He was a devoted father and grandfather. He is survived by son Maris (Annemieke) and his beloved grandchildren, Tilikum and Zephyr. His grandchildren were his whole world and he was continually buoyed by seeing them any chance he could. He had not been physically well for some time. In spite of his fatigue, his fierce intellect remained intact. In his final days, reflecting on his life, he wrote: I did not dream of the future, I lived the dreams of my here and now, And it was scary and it was fun Joy, grief, elation and turmoil were all there Occasionally, rarely, there was regret But on reflection, the outcomes were unavoidable”

Donations in memory can be made to; redd fish restoration https://reddfish.org/ or BC children’s hospital http://www.bcchildrens.ca/donate

We would like to thank the amazing staff at McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge, where Shirley spent the last five months of her life. Their expertise and loving care were very much appreciated during this challenging time.

McLEAN, Beverly (Nee Mackenzie) At the age of 15, Beverly McLean (Nee Mackenzie) began going with Ken, who was 17, despite the two living in different Provinces, at 19 she married him and at 20 she gave birth to their daughter, Caulinda, while attending University. In that short time, she attended 3 Universities: starting at her home UBC, following Ken to Saskatchewan and Toronto, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science and, later back at UBC, a Bachelor of Education. She taught math in Burnaby high schools and, for over 20 years, at the Youth Detention Center (juvenile prison). Bev was a top student in school and University and applied her work ethic to all aspects of her life. Her quick wit was the source both scorn and humour: “you already have a Ph.D. in lessons learned from your mistakes.” She was an expert seamstress sewing her graduation and wedding gowns and numerous costumes for Caulinda’s early stage and baton career. Her gardening course led to a yard full of colourful plants, compost boxes and the dreaded, by some, annual spreading of compost. She was a great cook with an extensive library of cookbooks. In the first year in Toronto, she prepared, for their U of S classmates who could not go home, a large Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings including appetizers like cheese fondue, a tradition she maintained. She was an organized and involved mother to her daughter and sons, Kevin and Bryan. She was a Brownie, Beaver, Cub and Sunday school leader, as well as actively involved in the management of the children’s sports. She worked hard to ensure each child was exposed to a well-rounded upbringing resulting in Caulinda’s success in dancing, baton and ringette, Kevin winning a piano recital leading to his various rock bands and Bryan winning scholarships and excelling in sports. She meticulously planned annual vacations to China, Egypt, various countries in Europe and South America, as well as several states and cities in the US. All her trips were action packed with no time wasted. She managed the Mackenzie Shack on Lake Erroch on behalf of her siblings and their descendants. Bev was a very nice person who was much too considerate of others.

In lieu of a funeral service, there will be a family spreading of her ashes at Rosen Lake where she met Ken and spent many happy summer and not so happy (too cold) winter vacations.

HUMPHRIES, Sheila Mary Sheila passed away peacefully in Tsawwassen, BC on August 8, 2022 at the age of 95 years. Predeceased by her husband Kenneth Rahn. Sheila will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Ronaye Ireland (Nancy Pocklington), Kathryn Pocklington Kiloh (Gord), step-daughter Judy Rahn of Perth, Australia, granddaughters Ainslie, Shaina and Allison. Sheila was born in Vancouver, BC, only daughter of James Herbert Humphries and Mary Elizabeth Sargent. Sheila married G. Beric Pocklington in September of 1949 and moved to Calgary, Alberta where they lived until 1964 when they moved to North Vancouver, BC.
