Jim van der Tas, owner of Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant, is on the cover with his two boys fishing at Imperial Landing dock. In this issue we are also excited to feature A Monkey Tree Emporium, Burke Academy of Dance, and The Pilates Group.
I am thankful for my interns Fernando and Vanessa who have been producing videos of events and clients for months now. I treasure their work and wish them success in graduating from journalism school and their move back home to Brazil. I hope they will have lasting memories of their time in Steveston. I have loved this summer more than any other. Perhaps it is due to my interns, my puppy, the sunshine, my family and friends, or maybe it is a combination of all of these things.

Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant: Cottage Comfort on the Pier by Sarah Gordon
photos by Sandra Steier
One would think that Jim van der Tas, managing partner of the Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant, has lived in Steveston his entire life based on his passion for and commitment to the village, yet he and his family moved here in 2004. In a short time he has planted many roots and he may just be one of the busiest men in Steveston. Not only is Jim van der Tas devoted to his business and his family; he also actively gives back to the village as he sits on three Steveston board of directors. He feels that Steveston is the jewel of Richmond, if not the Lower Mainland, and is committed to promoting all that the area has to offer. Jim van der Tas and his wife Janet own the Blue Canoe in partnership with Janet’s brother. Jim van der Tas says the decision to open their business “happened almost by accident.” While visiting Steveston with a friend they walked along the pier to take in 6
the view. They discussed the area’s potential and his friend joked that Jim van der Tas should buy a restaurant (stemming from his background as director of food & beverage at Vancouver’s Marriott Renaissance). This conversation quickly turned into reality when the van der Tas’ made an offer to purchase two former Steveston businesses, which they renovated into one larger space to create Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant. There was an immediate sense that something fresh and fun was going on when Blue Canoe’s logo appeared featuring an Adirondack chair perched beside the water’s edge, and a full-scale lifeguard’s chair appeared at the entrance to the business. The concept was to create a cottage style atmosphere. “It’s rustic and beautiful, like kicking back at a lakeside cottage,” says Jim van der Tas. The restaurant’s name celebrates the blue ocean and is also a tribute to seafood that is featured prominently on the menu.

selection of beer and wine, along with chef Danilo Ibarra’s fresh local cuisine.
What is the history behind the rustic canoe that is suspended from the dining room ceiling? Jim van der Tas put feelers out to find the perfect canoe and discovered this one, circa 1954, which had been stored inside a barn in Quebec. It was stripped, waxed, and true to Jim van der Tas’ sense of humour, he installed two small signs indicating, “this canoe is blue” when people began to question its natural colour. The canoe is a focal point, along with many special touches including the wood sided walls, mirrors that look like window panes, a cozy gas fireplace framed by river rock, and a selection of Langley artist Jill Hall’s cottage style furniture and decor throughout the restaurant. Add in the fun signage throughout, including the amusing outdoor directional sign, cozy throws on the backs of patio chairs, charming outdoor lighting along with patio heaters which, if you close your eyes, can mimic sitting by a campfire, mix in the ocean air and fishing boats bobbing at the dock, and you feel like you are on a relaxing seaside vacation.
Chef Ibarra works closely with Jim van der Tas on menu development. Jim van der Tas says the menu is always evolving to keep the dining experience fresh and exciting, as well to engage the customers and the staff, and over time has shone the spotlight more heavily on seafood. A small sample of the current offerings include a selection of burgers (a cottage experience is not complete without this staple) along with local, wild, line caught salmon (wrapped in corn husk, summer succotash, preserved lemon cream), West Coast salmon chowder (salmon, corn, sweet potato, bacon), heirloom tomato and strawberry salad (burrata cheese, D-Original Sausage Haus spek, mustard greens, honey balsamic vinaigrette) and a delicious dessert menu including a heavenly lemon meringue pie.
Every so often Jim van der Tas pinches himself to make sure he is not dreaming that this spectacular location is his ‘office.’ He is grateful for the countless friendships he has made in the five years since Blue Canoe has been in operation (June 8, 2008 was the official opening date). The restaurant offers something for everyone, both young and old, in a casual and cozy environment that is known for its unique August | September 2013 • www.StevestonInsider.com

Blue Canoe is proud to buy from local fishers (Organic Ocean) and farmers. Jim van der Tas is very excited about the relationship the restaurant has formed with local farmers that have been growing seasonal produce for Blue Canoe including lettuce, potatoes, berries, mustard greens, and herbs. Jim van der Tas says he would take great pleasure in owning a farm. In his dream he would grow his own crops to use in Blue Canoe’s kitchen although he laughs and says his wife won’t allow this idea to transpire. In the early years of the business Jim van der Tas was at the restaurant virtually every
day, however over time he has is now able to take well-deserved days off. Jim van der Tas describes his front-end role as similar to that of an old-fashioned maître d’. His amicable nature is suited for this role as he effortlessly circulates and is attentive to the well being of the customers and the staff. Janet van der Tas, a certified general accountant, is equally busy with her work behind the scenes managing the accounting. Jim van der Tas is full of praise for the Blue Canoe’s staff, which he describes as one big happy family. During the busy summer season the restaurant employees a staff of seventy. He is also deeply grateful to the loyal customers, many have supported Blue Canoe since it first opened. The winter months allow Jim van der Tas some free time to coach his sons’ Richmond Minor hockey teams. Ben (8) and Aiden (10) thoroughly enjoy the family business and Jim van der Tas would be pleased if they elect to work at Blue Canoe when they are older. The boys have already expressed interest and have inherited their mother and father’s charm and social nature.

Running one of Steveston’s most successful restaurants keeps Jim van der Tas extremely busy yet he finds time to volunteer on three Steveston not-for-profit organization boards. He is the President of the Steveston Merchants Association, which he founded with Vince Morlet (owner of Tapenade Bistro) in 2009, as they believed a voice for Steveston businesses was sorely lacking and felt work had to be done to attract more people to visit the village. In addition, Jim van der Tas is the co-chair of the Steveston 20/20 group that meets to discuss current issues and the long-term vision for the village as we move towards the year 2020. Finally, Jim van der Tas also sits on the Gulf of Georgia Cannery’s board. Janet van der Tas is also active in the community with her sons’ school and sports. “Steveston has so much potential to be an even better and more vibrant community. I want to help it grow in a respectful, carefully thought out manner for generations to enjoy its beauty and history,” says Jim van der Tas. When we see how the couple has made Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant a local landmark, and the creative ideas that Jim van der Tas devotedly offers the village, it is easy to believe his vision will come to fruition.

A Monkey Tree Emporium by Alyssia Leong
photos by Sandra Steier
A Monkey Tree Emporium’s inquisitive and somewhat cheeky monkey logo peeks from the window at passersby on Moncton Street. It is an image that has morphed over time yet has always been a part of the shop’s branding and symbolizes owner Odile Gagné’s affinity for monkeys. Gagné opened A Monkey Tree (the business’ original name) in 2001. In the early days she sold specialty silk flowers, plant arrangements and trees, however over time she dreamt of expanding her merchandise to include the gift and home décor that we are familiar with today. Gagné was born and raised in Montreal. She studied interior design and later moved to the West Coast to pursue a job in the travel industry. Gagné’s first visit to Steveston reminded her of life along the canal in Montreal. She was attracted both to the active commercial fishing industry and to the close-knit feel of the quaint village, and determined that she would like to open a business here. 14
Prior to relocating to Moncton Street, A Monkey Tree Emporium was situated on First Avenue (now home to Bell’s Bake Shop) for nine years. Two years ago Gagné moved the shop, added the word “emporium” to the business name as she had always liked the word, and thought it suited her array of products. This past February she rearranged the interior for a fresh look. Indeed A Monkey Tree Emporium is true to its name with its eclectic collection ranging from kitchenware to humorous greeting cards, stationery, prints on canvas, small carpets and mats, folk art, prints by local photographers, jewellery and Lampe Berger. Whenever possible Gagné strives to support local artists. She is always on the hunt for unique and seasonal items and updates the store frequently which her loyal customers certainly appreciate. Coming from a background in interior design
August | September 2013 • www.StevestonInsider.com
Gagné has a creative eye and loves colour. You will see her personal taste and sense of humour reflected in much of the merchandise. Gagné says that her customers come to A Monkey Tree Emporium to have fun and enjoy the quirky selection of products. She feels passionate about her business and is motivated by the capricious nature of her store. What are some of this summer’s must have items? Kitchen gadgets are always popular including the Lid Sid, citrus spray and the silicon lid products. In addition Gagné suggests that you can’t go wrong with her collection of cards and stationery. In her spare time Gagné enjoys walking, photography, playing squash, and spending time at her country home on the Sunshine Coast with her partner Peter. She also loves to cook with a glass of wine in hand. Gagné says that all of these passions inspire her and contribute to the products that she selects for her emporium. Gagné is thankful to her supportive customers and fellow merchants. She is an active board member with the Steveston Merchants Association, which she joined when it was founded in 2009. She likes to shop locally to support the village’s businesses. Gagné is grateful to her loyal staff
including Karin, who has been a part-time employee for the past seven years. In appreciation of her customers’ support Gagné believes in giving back to the community through donations to a number of local fundraising events throughout the year.

She is continuing to expand her social media presence by featuring daily greeting cards, décor inspirations and in the near future recipes.

Places I’ll Remember by Sarah Gordon The song “In My Life” by The Beatles is playing on the turntable inside my head.
“There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain“ My family and I recently went camping at Golden Ears Provincial Park. While the park was unknown territory to them, for me it was like prying open a time capsule. I have visited Golden Ears numerous times, however my fondest memories date back to when I was 13 years old. I was on the cusp of big changes as I was waving goodbye to a familiar routine and was setting off for high school in September. To bid summer farewell my brother and I were allowed to invite some school friends to join our family on a camping trip in mid-August. We spent a number of carefree days jumping off rocks into the clear jade green water of Gold Creek. One evening we abandoned our tents and lined up our sleeping bags in a row, resembling sardines in a tin can, where we fell asleep after watching a myriad of meteors race across the sky. Fast forward to the present. I was extremely eager to show my children and husband my childhood stomping ground that, as time has a way of doing, had reached mythical proportions in my head. While my family kindly supported me in this quest to retrace my past they were very much grounded in the present, whereas I felt caught in the Twilight Zone.
En route through the campground we encountered a park host who told us that the Gold Creek trail had fallen into a state of disrepair since I last ventured down it, and warned us that it would be an undertaking to reach our destination. Determined to find the swimming hole we set off, and when we finally located the trail it was true, the path was unrecognizable. Fortunately we spotted four young boys up ahead accompanied by a mother tagging behind in hot pursuit. Wishing that we had machetes to cut back the vegetation, combined with watching our footing closely due to abundant roots and loose rocks, we joined the parade. When we reached the creek the child in me watched with envy as the boys plunged off the high rocks into the glacial water, while at the same time my thoughts drifted to Acapulco cliff divers, and if necessary, just how quickly could we get medical assistance down the beaten up path that was out of cellular service range? After a few wonderful days spent floating on inner tubes in Alouette Lake, listening to night owls hoot, sitting around blazing campfires and overdosing on S’mores, we packed up and began our journey home. A craving for ice cream warranted a stop in historic Cloverdale, however we could not locate a store that fit the bill. We spotted an older gentleman who was staring pensively at a building and approached him to get advice. In a nostalgic fog he looked through us and said that he had lived here a long time ago but wouldn’t have a clue where to find anything anymore. I felt a sense of kinship with this fellow, having just emerged from “places I’ll remember all my life though some have changed.” To quote American author Thomas Wolfe “you can’t go home again” yet cherished memories that one can dredge up by revisiting past stomping grounds come a close second.

The Dynamic Burke Duo Dance and Pilates Studios Relocate to Steveston Village by Sarah Gordon
photos by Sandra Steier
Have you heard the news? The dynamic mother (Mary Burke) and daughter (Elizabeth Burke) duo have recently relocated their two well-established businesses, Burke Academy of Dance and The Pilates Group to new quarters located on the corner of No. 1 Road and Chatham Street above Coast Capital Savings. Elizabeth Burke (who co-owns The Pilates Group with Elvina Savage) and Mary Burke (owner of The Burke Academy of Dance) report that the Pilates studio has doubled in size, while the dance studio has downsized to reflect the new direction of the company. The new home beautiful. The white and teal grey/white oak 34
of these joint studios is combination of relaxing accent walls along with laminate flooring creates
a peaceful atmosphere. A cozy foyer with tasteful artwork and change rooms greet you at the entrance, along with a reception desk radiating instant bling appeal with a chandelier hanging overhead. A sample of The Pilates Group merchandise hangs on display with more coming soon. The renovations took two months to complete and involved installing new windows, new ceiling tile, dimmer lights and adding a glass wall which separates the dance and Pilates studio, while still maintaining a sense of togetherness and allowing in plenty of light. When dance classes are not in session the space is used for Pilates mat and barre classes. On the other side of the glass wall is the Pilates studio where reformer and chair classes are held.

Mary Burke and her husband Tom are originally from Northern Ireland. They relocated to Saskatchewan in 1972 where their children Brian and Elizabeth were born, followed by a move to Steveston in 1977 when Tom Burke received a promotion through his work. Her passion for dance began at age 8. By the time she was age 15 Mary Burke had won a full scholarship to attend The Hammond School of Ballet in Chester, England. She went on to dance professionally followed by teaching dance. It had always been Mary Burke’s dream to own a dance school. The dream became reality in 1977 when she opened her original school in the Presbyterian Church on No. 2 Road. When the Burkes built their home Mary Burke ran classes in an attached studio where the school operated for 17 years. As enrolment continued to climb the dance studio moved to No. 2 Road (London Landing) where it operated for 13 years. The Burke Academy of Dance and The Pilates Group shared space at this facility, however the impending demolition of the building forced them to search for a new location. They opened for business in their new space in early July. Burke Academy of Dance is a business name synonymous with Steveston. Former students have danced with The National Ballet of
Canada, Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Ballet B.C., however, Mary Burke says that one of her most gratifying achievements has been to witness self-conscious young teens enter her studio at the beginning of the year, and watch as their poise and confidence surge as time progresses.

Mary Burke is shifting her focus away from teaching full-time and will no longer run the large dance school with exams, competitions and recitals. Her new program, Tiny to Teens, focuses exclusively on ballet and is designed for students (ages 3 and up) who have a passion for dance and would like to dance once or twice a week. Mary Burke believes in building self-esteem and confidence through the art of ballet and sees the latest evolution of her company as “more of change of course.” She says, “the measure of success for a program like this isn’t that each child ends up in a ballet company but that each child ends up being successful for themselves.” She is excited to begin teaching Tiny to Teens on Tuesdays and Saturdays commencing in September.
dancing professionally. In her early 20s she began to teach dance with her mother, and then embarked on her current career teaching Pilates.
Under her mother’s tutelage, Elizabeth Burke began ballet at age 4. Not many people leave home at age 11, however, Elizabeth Burke did so; she attended the National Ballet School’s year long program in Toronto. During her teens she also spent two full years with The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s professional program. In addition Elizabeth Burke trained with a number of prestigious North American dance companies, which ultimately led to
If you are not already familiar with Pilates, it is a method of exercise done completely in movement that helps to stretch, strengthen, and balance the whole body. Pilates develops core strength, elongates muscles, improves posture and increases joint flexibility with a focus on proper breathing. Several types of classes are offered including mat and barre, reformer and chair equipment classes.

Elizabeth Burke says, “I fell in love with teaching as it is in my blood. My mom encouraged me to start my own Pilates studio. I literally started from scratch running a mat class every Sunday out of her ballet studio. From there the business started to grow and 8 years later here we are in the largest and now most lovely Pilates studio in Richmond.” She gives kudos to her mother who has always supported her dreams. Mary Burke is a devoted Pilates Group participant who happens to look like she has found the fountain of youth.

The Pilates Group opened in 2005 while Elizabeth Burke was still teaching dance. In 2011 Elvina Savage, who was a Pilates Group client, became Elizabeth Burke’s business partner to aid with the growth of the busy studio. Both Elizabeth Burke and Elvina Savage received their Core Dynamics Pilates certification in New Mexico with master teacher Michele Larsson. As directors of The Pilates Group, they are committed to a high standard of training for their instructors. All of the teachers are fully certified and enjoy sharing their knowledge and passion for the Pilates method. They feel that smaller class sizes and personal attention is essential to help clients reach their fitness goals and potential. Classes are offered for all fitness levels, body shapes, sizes, ages (from teens to clients in their 80s) and mobility levels. The studio is wheelchair accessible via an elevator. Elizabeth Burke points out that the Pilates method has been of benefit to some clients recovering from hip replacements. She derives satisfaction from seeing the changes Pilates can help make in people’s lives, and
this includes not only the physical merit, but also building confidence, improving posture and helping some clients with health issues. If you are interested in exploring Pilates Elizabeth Burke recommends being consistent by attending class twice a week. Elizabeth Burke enjoys teaching teenagers Pilates. She started Pilates classes when she was 15 years old and felt that it took the focus away from questions such as "How do I look?" and "Am I thin enough?" and instead make her think about new muscles in her body and how she could change her jumps in dance to be higher and stronger. She also credits Pilates with making her breathe, and says, “as an over achiever this calmed my whole body and mind. I felt I was learning, getting stronger and feeling better with my Pilates routine and that in turn gave me a sense of confidence.” She would like to start a class for teenagers 2 to 4 times a month to teach them Pilates by donation. Although she was an extremely athletic teenager Elizabeth Burke is fully aware that there are many teens that may not perceive themselves as athletes, however she

believes they need to be educated to look after their bodies and health. Much like Mary Burke’s philosophy, Elizabeth Burke feels,“ If I can help share my experience and knowledge with teenagers, and they feel good after class, then I get a real sense of happiness.” Ultimately the Burke duo is giving back to Steveston by sharing their passion for dance and Pilates while helping to enhance their clients’ physical and mental well being. With this new central location in the heart of the
38
village one can expect enrolment in both businesses to soar, along with their students’ health and happiness.
