Insider Publisher's Note Welcome to the summer issue! This is the most popular time of year in Steveston Village. The sun is finally shining, tourists have arrived and there are many expanded local events planned to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Steveston recently made international news with video coverage of a sea lion pulling a girl into the water. This is attracting more attention and visitors than usual. June kicks off with Doors Open Richmond celebrating arts, culture and heritage - come out and explore the twelve Steveston sites free of charge. Take in the Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine in Steveston Park. A new Hop-on, Hop-off Attraction trolley bus will bring tourists to Steveston all summer. See Steveston’s history come to life with animated walking tours performed by Hugh McRoberts Secondary School drama students. The school year is drawing to a close and children are looking forward to swimming in the Steveston Outdoor Pool and running through the waterpark. Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market is now located across the street from the community centre. O’Hare’s Gastropub hosts Steveston Wine Fest on June 25.
The biggest event, of course, is the Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1 in celebration of Canada’s birthday. A detailed guide is included in this issue and Sammy the Salmon is featured on the cover photo with four year old twins Piper and Hayden Brailean. Ships to Shore is a three day event in Steveston put on by the City of Richmond surrounding Salmon Festival. In this issue we feature three local businesses: Catch Kitchen + Bar with its picturesque location on Fisherman’s Wharf, Sweet Paws Dog Grooming Services which helps dogs look their best and Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery, known for its gorgeous selection of hanging baskets, geraniums, bedding and container plants. We also break the news that Steveston’s new grocery store at The Roderick will be Save-On-Foods. Enjoy summer in Steveston! Stroll along the boardwalk, buy fresh fish from the dock, fly a kite at Garry Point, go on a whale-watching tour, explore the local shops and dine on a waterfront patio – the possibilities are countless!

Catch Kitchen + Bar
Locally Inspired Dishes and a Magnificent View Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Sandra Steier
A magnificent setting is always a plus when dining out and Catch Kitchen + Bar delivers with its picturesque location on Fisherman’s Wharf. The restaurant offers a spectacular vista of Steveston harbour, the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island. Patio diners take in views of the Fraser River inlet and snow capped Mount Baker while bar patrons enjoy views of the gorgeous North Shore mountains. Finding this prime spot (the former home of the Charthouse restaurant) was the opportunity of a lifetime for brothers Jon and Marc Yacoub and their cousin, chef Daniel Bachara. It was their dream to open a restaurant together and securing this

spacious scenic gem was icing on the cake. Jon, Marc and Daniel all come from restaurateur backgrounds; both of their families owned restaurants in England, which is where they were all born. The Yacoub family moved to Steveston when Jon and Marc were young. "My dad ran the Granville Island Hotel for many years until he bought his own restaurant," Jon says. He and Marc attended Lord Byng Elementary and both graduated from Steveston High. Daniel gained his culinary experience at his father’s restaurant in the U.K. and moved to Canada in his late teens. Jon has devoted his entire career to restaurant management.
June - July 2017
www.StevestonInsider.com
He got his start bussing tables at The Manor restaurant in Tsawwassen. He also worked as a server at the Charthouse in his early 20s and went on to manage The Boathouse in White Rock and Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant.
“We wanted to let the view in.” Jon Yacoub Catch Kitchen + Bar opened in March 2016 after extensive renovations. Marc is a contractor and brought his team on board to modernize the space. It took four and a half months to create the desired effect, with the three partners lending a hand. Jon mentions they are thankful for their friends who pitched in to help. Wood, metal and cement are used to bring the outdoors inside. The result is aesthetically pleasing, creating a modern and industrial seaside atmosphere. Large black and white nautical photographs adorn the wood panelled walls, corrugated metal is used to create pony walls and industrial pendant lights set the mood. Other decorative touches include propellers mounted to the entry wall alongside an illuminated metal sign that spells out the word Catch. Large banks of windows let in an abundance of light and of course look out to the million-dollar view.
“Our concept was to create a Coal Harbour or Granville Island experience in Steveston.” Jon Yacoub
June - July 2017
Jon explains, “We are extremely proud of our Steveston roots. We felt this is what the community needed, to be able to enjoy an upscale casual dining experience without having to leave the neighbourhood.” There is something on the menu for everyone’s taste including local seafood favourites alongside Mediterranean and bistro-style dishes. Menu changes take place seasonally to highlight ingredients from as many local suppliers as possible.

Jon mentions that some of the popular dishes include the warm seafood salad, lemon caper halibut, roast beef dip and grilled chicken burger. The in-house prepared crab cakes and peppercorn New York steak are also crowd pleasers. Gluten-free diners can order with ease from a separate and extensive menu. Following your meal, succumb to temptation and order dessert made from scratch by Catch’s pastry chef. Catch’s bar features seven flat-screen televisions, making this the perfect spot to watch sporting events including hockey, soccer and football. Many local craft beers are on tap to quench your thirst as you cheer for your favourite team. Both the restaurant and bar offer happy hours and children are welcome in both sections.

people in the restaurant (inside and on the patio) with another 65 seats in the bar. Catch Kitchen + Bar is a perfect spot year round to host a large gathering or a company dinner or an intimate dinner for two. Jon mentions they are excited to be hosting their first wedding reception. This summer head to the patio or pull up a chair indoors to escape the heat and ‘catch’ a beautiful sunset – all the while knowing that if you are a local you won’t have to deal with a long drive home, and if you happen to be an out of towner, you will experience what Stevestonites get to enjoy in our own backyard – lucky us!
There is no shortage of seating in this establishment that accommodates up to 155

Sweet Paws Dog Grooming Services: Helping Dogs Look Their Best Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Sandra Steier
Furry clients out for a walk like to stop in and say hello to their human friends at Sweet Paws Dog Grooming Services. Sweet Paws owner Noriko Ikuta says with a smile, “I know the dogs by name.�
14
Noriko and her husband, Reverend Grant Ikuta (Steveston Buddhist Temple), moved to Toronto from their native Japan in 1992. During their 16 years in eastern Canada they had four children. They also had a golden retriever named Rusty who Noriko learned to
June - July 2017

groom. Realizing she had a hidden talent, she was inspired to attend Toronto’s Pet Grooming Studio Academy where she turned her hobby into a career. After graduating she was hired by the Academy. It was a natural fit; Noriko has always loved animals and as a child dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. The Ikuta family moved to Steveston in 2008. Reverend Ikuta has relatives here and the couple were excited to find a strong Japanese community. Noriko says it is lovely to hear Japanese being spoken on the street which was not prevalent in Toronto. “I quickly discovered Steveston is a special close-knit community where people support each other,” she says. In June 2015 Noriko decided it was time to open her own business. She chose to locate Sweet Paws close to home. She appreciates the beautiful location, the village’s history and as a dog owner (the family now has a Coton de Tulear named Lucky who occasionally pops in to visit Noriko at work), she was aware a grooming service was needed. Her clean and neat as a pin grooming studio is located on Third Avenue, across the street from the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site. Noriko mentions that some customers take advantage of two free hours to go to their own spa appointment or shop or dine in the village. Her client base is growing steadily in dog friendly Steveston village where it is a common sight to see dog owners stopping to chat.
to the idea of being groomed. Being parted from their owner is the most difficult part and barking nervously is common.
All sizes and breeds pass through the door, from pint size Yorkies to large Labradoodles.
Much like a human spa, Sweet Paws strives to offer a soothing atmosphere where dogs are pampered.
Long-haired dogs and those with busy, active lifestyles will need to be groomed more frequently than shorter-haired dogs or those with inactive lifestyles. Waiting too long between grooming appointments can cause matting, which may result in a shorter cut. Tip: Brush and comb your dog at home between grooming sessions.
Owners can be nervous when they say goodbye to their pets. Noriko mentions if an owner is not calm their dog will pick up that energy; she says it is helpful to exercise the pet before it comes in to relax and tire it out. Some dogs react better than others
Summer and Christmas are the busiest times of the year and Noriko advises booking two weeks in advance. How often your dog needs grooming depends on how quickly her/his fur grows, however, Noriko mentions six to seven

weeks is standard. Gentle organic shampoos are used. Noriko can easily assess skin types and for canines with extremely sensitive skin she uses hypoallergenic products.
When asked what she finds most rewarding about operating her business Noriko replies, “I feel very calm working around dogs all day. It is very healing.” She says, “At our studio, we provide a calm atmosphere to lessen the stress felt by the dog. Our staff is trained to treat each dog with care, being mindful of the stress it may be feeling. To ensure the best treatment, we do not overbook our appointments. Every session is by reservation only and we contact the owners as soon as the appointment is finished so their pet does not have to wait for prolonged periods. Our reward is to see the happy faces of both the dogs and their owners when they come to pick up their loving pets."

Wong's Greenhouse & Nursery: Rooted in Richmond Since 1966 Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Sandra Steier
I have always admired the gorgeous hanging baskets on the lampposts and seasonal flowers that beautify a number of major boulevards in Richmond’s city centre. Until recently I had no idea where these plants originated from, however I was enlightened when I met the grower, Paul Wong, who is the charming and affable owner of Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery. Paul is the son of Yuen Wong, who founded Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery in 1966. Over the years Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery moved two times. The nursery was located on Cambie Road for 38 years. In 2008 it relocated to the impressive site on No. 2 Road. Sadly, Yuen passed away the same year. Paul is grateful his father had an opportunity to see the company in its magnificent new home. His vivacious mother Dorothy has retired but she loves to come assist during the busy spring months.
28
Paul grew up in Richmond and graduated from Richmond High. He recalls assisting at the greenhouse after school before starting his homework. In the early 1990s his father approached him to join the company with the intention that Paul would eventually take over the family business. The father and son team worked together for many years – over time as retail and sale contracts grew they phased out wholesaling to stores such as Safeway, Sears and Woolco. After an unseasonably cold and snowy winter followed by a rain-filled spring I suspect many gardeners are doing a jig as we welcome summer and have a taste of what the majority of Canadians experience each year. This will likely make us appreciate and maximize our time in our gardens more than ever. Paul says, “The nursery’s plants were almost two weeks behind this year.”

Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery sells Richmond’s largest selection of hanging baskets, geraniums, bedding and container plants. The front retail space is just the tip of the iceberg, walk through and you will discover there are eight additional greenhouses totalling 25,000 square feet. This is where the plants are grown. Eight seasonal staff are brought in at the beginning of March; the greenhouses are a beehive of activity where staff can be seen plant hanging baskets for clients including the City of Richmond, which has been purchasing from Wong’s for over 20 years.
Ninety per cent of Wong’s plants are grown on site from pre-started seedlings or rooted cuttings. Paul says, “Hanging baskets are our forte. Customers return because of the quality. We grow the best products and our prices are very good. Customers will also be able to find two or more identical basket here.”
Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery is open from the beginning of April through mid-July for the spring and summer season. It reopens in late September through early November and at this time you will find fall and winter plants in addition to spring bulbs such as daffodils and tulips. Although the garden centre is seasonal, Paul is kept busy year round. He points out, “All year there is something growing here so I am always checking in and overseeing the business.” During the spring and summer he goes into overdrive working every day for three months. He manages the staff and attentively assists customers. The weather dictates sales and sunny days are always the busiest. Paul has seen a surge in customers from local condo owners looking for patio plants for planters and he is pleased to report Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery offers a very good selection.
Paul shares a helpful gardening tip to file away for next season: “It is safe to plant annual plants outdoors when the evening temperature has consistently reached double digits.”

As a long term Richmond resident Paul is extremely appreciative of this community. Although the city has experienced many physical changes he feels the community spirit is as strong as the Richmond he remembers growing up.
Indeed, the beautiful, quality plants Wong’s Greenhouse & Nursery sells certainly keep customers returning, but it is also the homegrown personal, friendly and knowledgeable service that makes this family business such a success.
What does Paul find most rewarding about running his own business? He says, “I enjoy being able to grow a great product for our customers and have them return year after year. I am also grateful to the community for supporting local merchants.”

How to Deal With Multiple Offers In this market of high demand real estate, it is important to be prepared for multiple offers. Here are a few tips on how to be ready: 1. Have your mortgage pre-approved and secure. 2. Reduce subjects by checking the property title in advance for any easements, rights-of-ways or claims. If possible, arrange a home inspection ahead of time so this is not a subject. 3. As your realtor we will review the competition and help you put the bid forward that will likely win a multiple offer situation. 4. Know how high you can go in price and how much you want the home so we can make an offer you feel good about. We don’t want you losing your dream home over a few thousand dollars. If you really want the house, ask us if a “bully offer” (we make an offer before seller sees others) is a good option. We can help you put your best bid forward. Give us a call if you are thinking of selling your home or if you are looking to buy a home this summer.

THE RICHMOND HOSPITAL/HEALTHCARE AUXILIARY
THRIFT SHOP
NEXT CURIO SALE Saturday, June 24 9am-3pm
August 26 October 28 December 16
Have you heard the exciting news? The Richmond Hospital Healthcare Auxiliary has recently purchased the historic building that they have been renting since 2007 to house Steveston’s well utilized and loved thrift shop. RHA Thrift Shop coordinator Ursula van Duin told Steveston Insider, “It was time to act as renting the space was equivalent to a monthly mortgage payment.” With property values increasing the board carefully considered their options and determined it was a wise long-term investment. In addition, they feel pleased to preserve an important part of Steveston’s heritage that dates back to 1894. Now that the purchase has been made the Auxiliary must address the structural work the former church urgently requires. They are calling on the public and local companies to contribute to their renovation fund to help restore the structure to its original glory. Ursula emphasizes, “All of the revenue earned at the thrift shop will continue to be earmarked for Richmond Hospital to purchase equipment.” The community is already responding generously and there are creative fundraising ideas ahead but Ursula points out, “Renovations are very expensive and donations of any amount from the public are greatly appreciated.” Donations over $20 are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

See Steveston’s History Come To Life With This Year’s Animated Walking Tours Story by Raini Bevilacqua and Gabrielle Sharp, Costume drawings by Shelby Page Travel back in time to the year 1917 to witness Richmond’s early days. The 60-minute Steveston Walking Tour Vignettes guide you through one kilometre of village history, where you will discover the pleasures and perils of living and working in historic Steveston as talented Hugh McRoberts Secondary School drama students perform five original plays, written by local playwright Andrew Wade.
up theatre” short plays inspired by historic events.
McRoberts high school student actors take on a variety of roles that showcase Steveston’s diverse cultural heritage making these walking tours a truly memorable experience.
Life in Steveston one hundred years ago held a lot of drama. In 1917, local fishermen wondered if salmon would return after the 1914 Hell's Gate landslide destroyed access to the salmon spawning beds of the Fraser River. Floods, fires and other disasters also weighed heavily on people’s minds. In Steveston’s canneries, racial divisions sometimes resulted in fierce confrontations. Meanwhile, as British Columbia embraced the prohibition of alcohol, some saw a big business opportunity.
Tour participants are led by a guide on a one hundred year journey in time, drawing back the curtain on Steveston’s gentrified present to a grittier past.
The young actors vividly bring to life characters encountering these events while also evoking universal human themes of romance, determination, and resilience.
In the modern streets of Steveston, the guide brings participants unexpectedly to “pop-

see the tours take shape. She says, “There are so many stories to tell from Steveston’s history; the village is built on the contributions of so many. The purpose of the tours is to give the viewers a short ‘impression’ of what life was like in this time period. Our performers do a wonderful job at bringing these stories to life.” The plays give talented students from Hugh McRoberts Secondary School the opportunity to recreate characters from the past. Drama teacher Judyann McCarthy is delighted with the opportunity they provide for her students. “I have enjoyed working with this dedicated group of student actors on a project that takes us out of the classroom and watching them apply their skills and abilities in a whole new world, old Steveston. It has been a lot of fun explaining words like ‘skedaddle’, and that people used to eat wild greens, and that our little city has always had rich cultural diversity.” Her students agree with Judyann, expressing excitement at bringing to life the unique character and the incredible history of
Steveston which they represent. The project has challenged the student actors, altering their perspective on the past and present.
These Steveston Walking Tour Vignettes are a great experience for the whole family, and a fun way to discover local history and culture. Tours depart from the Steveston Museum (3811 Moncton Street) at 4:30 p.m. on Fridays and 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays in June and July. Tickets are $7.00 per person. Booking in advance is recommended as availability is limited. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by a paying adult (maximum two children per one adult). Book in person at the Tourism Richmond Visitor Centre at the Steveston Museum (3811 Moncton Street) or by calling the Visitor Centre at 604-271-8280. More information on the tours can be found online at www.historicsteveston.ca.
This year’s Walking Tour Vignettes - Canada 150 Project is presented by the Steveston Historical Society and the City of Richmond through the Steveston Museum. This initiative is made possible by the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th, a collaboration between Richmond Community Foundation, the Government of Canada, and extraordinary leaders from coast to coast to coast.

Steveston Insider Exclusive Story:
Steveston’s New Grocery Store at The Roderick Revealed Story by Sarah Gordon Stevestonites have been abuzz with speculation about which grocery store will be coming to the village since local company Plat:form Properties made the announcement that they had purchased the former Rod’s Lumber block and planned to develop it for combined commercial and residential use. The development has been named The Roderick in homage of Rod’s Lumber, which played an important role in Steveston for 60 years. Kyle Shury, Principal of Plat:form Properties, is a proud long term Richmond resident and has lived here since he was a child. He and his family have called Steveston home since 2004 and he felt a vested interest in helping to shape the community that he loves so much. He is aware that the village’s grocery options are limited which means locals leave the community to shop.
A village scale Save-On-Foods will open in Steveston in 2019. With a Save-On-Foods in Steveston, people will be able to combine errands and shop in the village at the same time, keeping more business local and helping to support our

dedicated merchants. Kyle laughs when he reports that he can’t go anywhere without being asked the burning question so it is a relief to finally reveal the news. Julie Dickson Olmstead, Save-On-Food’s Director of Public Affairs and Corporate Services mentions, “We are excited to be opening a store in Steveston. This will be a unique Save-On-Foods – there are few like it. Our goal, as with every new market we enter, is to become a truly integrated part of the community.” Being a 100 per cent locally owned company distinguishes Save-On-Foods from other grocery stores. Since it’s early beginnings in New Westminster in 1915 the company has taken pride in partnering with local producers and suppliers. Julie mentions this store will be tailor-made for the village – in addition to a unique and industry-leading local product offering – each store’s décor reflects the community through the use of photography and imagery. In addition, giving back to communities is a large part of Save-OnFood’s mandate; the company was recently a generous sponsor of the Ships to Shore event.

Kyle describes the great effort that has gone into the thoughtful design and integration of The Roderick into the heart of the village. It is an elegant building which combines modern with historical tie ins, such as the single storey Moncton Street frontage. The building will rise to three storeys on Chatham Street. Three retail spaces will be for lease; a nice nod to historical Steveston is the corner unit on Third Avenue and Moncton Street featuring a chamfered corner entrance. SaveOn-Foods will face Chatham Street and have convenient access to parking both from Third Avenue and the lane between Second and Third Avenue.
The Roderick offers a rare opportunity to purchase a home right in the village. June - July 2017
The 32 large homes will range in size from 1,300 to 2,600 square feet. Twenty-five of the homes will be single storey flats while seven will be two level town homes. Kyle reports, “The roof decks are a unique offering and the views will be outstanding.” He imagines many of the purchasers will be Richmondites wishing to downsize. These spacious homes will be ideal for buyers looking to make the shift from a single family home, and best of all, continue living in the community. There will be outdoor living space and the homes will feature plenty of light from two directions. Ideally ground will be broken this summer, with construction beginning in the autumn. Interest has been strong and the sales centre will be opening in June. Kyle concludes, “We are very excited to be developing The Roderick in the village.” Indeed, now that the exciting news is out, the community is going to be over the moon!
