Flag question Candidate no-shows for Meeting helped me answered debate insult voters Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

I don’t think we’ve met, Barb. My name is Kenny Chiu and I am a Canadian – just like you.

Hoping to hear from local candidates running in the upcoming federal election, my husband and I attended the Oct. 8 “All-Candidates Meeting” — a misnomer at best.

I was born in Hong Kong. My family settled there after fleeing Communist China. Millions of people were killed in the Cultural Revolution, and my uncle was one of them.

Neither Alice Wong nor Kenny Chiu were present: nothing less than a disrespectful “meh” to all those in attendance.

The crime that my uncle committed was thinking freely. He opposed tyranny and wanted to make his country a better place for all people. Here in Canada, democracy, rule of law and freedom for all people are our core values. These are things for which I have always advocated.

Why were the Conservative candidates not there to address the audience (voters), answer questions and clarify concerns? Are the citizens of

Is Alice Wong (an MP since 2008) so confident of her re-election that she can simply not attend? Participatory democracy requires exactly that, participation.

Dear Editor,

I attended the all-candidates meeting at the seniors centre last week. “All” was an exaggeration, but good enough for me.

The lady from your paper (didn’t catch her name) did a great job moderating the meeting, aided by her vigorous timekeepers.

Everything went smoothly, except the 20 questions part, which went quite fast and confused some of the candidates.

As to the candidates: Joe Peschisolido, the only incumbent so quite familiar with the proceedings, was eloquent and smiling. Francoise Raunet was very well informed and had a pleasant voice to bring her points across.

Accusations fly ahead of hockey SGM Jets board claims president knew about $147,000 account before summer Alan Campbell

Under fire Richmond Jets president Carolyn Hart has a fight on her hands to remain in the position at a special general meeting on Thursday evening.

File photo

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

More sparks are flying ahead of this week’s potentially heated special general meeting to oust the president of the Richmond Jets Minor Hockey Association (RJMHA).

The Richmond News reported last month how the year-old Jets — born out of a merger of rival clubs Richmond Minor and Seafair — were immersed in an apparent power struggle, with president Carolyn Hart refusing a board demand for her to step down.

Last Thursday morning, the RJMHA board emailed a “fact sheet” to the parent membership, outlining its reasons for calling for Hart’s resignation at the SGM on Thursday evening.

The email honed in on the appearance this summer of an old Richmond Minor Hockey tournament account worth $147,000, which the board claims it had no previous knowledge of, while Hart, they say, did.

The board claims this breached an agreement when the clubs joined forces last year, with all funds being poured into one account.

“The Board has determined the President breached certain legal duties owed to the Association through her conduct and omissions, resulting in a deterioration of the trust existing between the President and the Board,” according to the board.

“On January 22, 2019, the President advised the Board that all RMHA accounts were closed. The President did not at this

time advise the Board that funds held in RMHA’s Tournament Accounts remained outstanding.”

Hart’s “failure to advise the Board of outstanding RMHA Tournament funds is considered by the Board to represent a breach of the President’s duty to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Association.”

Responding to the “fact sheet,” Hart told the News that, having worked and volunteered in this community for her entire adult life, she doesn’t “appreciate being called dishonest or a liar. I can state, unequivocally that I am neither.

“I want to continue to serve minor hockey families in Richmond. I think that I bring an important perspective of inclusion and respect for every child and family. I think that people who know me well, know that.

“I have committed to retaining the position that I was elected

Your provincial representative in Richmond-Queensborough

MLA Jas Johal

to last February. I believe that the majority of the Richmond Jets membership want me to continue as President.”

As for the $147,000 tournament account, Hart claimed it was “widely known that each Richmond Minor Hockey Association tournament had their own bank account…Every past and present member of the Richmond Jets Board of Directors knew that the RMHA tournaments had bank accounts.

I believe that the majority of the Richmond Jets membership want me to continue as president.

“I was not a signing officer on any of the accounts nor did I serve on any of the tournament CAROLYN HART committees other than occasionally helping with tournament work like early morning timekeeping...There is absolutely no money missing.

“Every penny of the money that is referenced in the ‘Fact Sheet’ is recorded in the 2018/19 Financial Statements that were emailed to the Board today and that will be presented to the membership next Thursday.”

To muddy the waters further, Hart — who was the longtime president of Richmond Minor prior to the merger — has lodged a bullying complaint with BC Hockey against four Jets directors and one former director.

Fence construction halted Vape ads irk council Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Concrete foundations were laid for a fence on No. 2 Road.

Maria Rantanen photo

City staff have ordered workers to stop building a long, concrete-based fence on No. 2 Road in Steveston in front of a mega mansion.

Fines have been levied and the city is trying to resolve the situation by having it removed, according to Clay Adams, city spokesperson.

Staff became aware last week of the “illegal construction” of the fence that fronts an 18,000-square-foot home on farmland, Adams said, and a stop-work order was put in place on Friday.

City tree bylaw staff noted the potential impact on a number of trees, and, while they hadn’t been removed, the construction may have damaged the root system.

“As a result, fines were issued to the property owner,” Adams added.

City bylaws restrict this type of landscaping to be built outside of the “farm home plate” area on Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) properties.

Photos of the concrete foundations

for the fence elicited angry comments on social media from farmland advocates over the weekend.

Michelle Li, co-coordinator of Richmond Farmwatch, tweeted photos of the concrete foundations just south of Steveston Highway as well as cinder blocks piled next to the foundations, saying every time she drives out to Steveston, it makes her yell.

She told the Richmond News that driving along No. 2 Road in Steveston makes her “distressed” because these mega-mansions were approved despite warnings that farmland would become unaffordable and the land couldn’t be farmed.

“These ostentatious mansions are continuing to be built with excessive

landscaping encroaching on prime farmland,” she said. “We are seeing the framing of these final monsters that were approved under the previous council.”

This mega house received its construction permits before Richmond restricted the size of homes in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) to about 4,300 square feet last winter.

The mega mansion sits on a property that is 26.6 acres in size and its property taxes, according to City of Richmond data, came to $7,746.70.

Adams called the construction a “serious issue” and said the city is continuing to investigate the matter.

Richmond city council is pushing back on vaping ads.

On Tuesday, council unanimously passed a policy to oppose ads for vaping on city-controlled properties, for example, transit shelters, bus benches and other “street furniture.”

The policy calls for a “clear statement of opposition to the advertisement of vaping products.”

This comes after health concerns have been raised about vaping. A staff report to council explains 18 deaths in the U.S. have been linked to vaping.

There have been 1,000 other cases of people get-

ting ill. Three cases are being investigated in Canada.

The Canadian Pediatric Society has called for a ban of flavoured vaping products after a 2018 survey showed 21 per cent of 12-to-19-year-old teens had vaped in the past month.

The high levels of nicotine are cited as a concern — one vaping cartridge can have as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.

This fall, the provincial government is expected to introduce a strategy to reduce youth accessing vaping products.

TransLink has had ads for vaping products at SkyTrain stations. A TransLink spokesperson said they can’t reject the ads under the freedom of expression laws in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Social stances challenged Early polls popular

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

While a social justice-themed all-candidates meeting focused on hot-button issues like housing, pharmacare and birth tourism, there were pointed questions at candidates on their political and personal stances.

Steveston-Richmond East and Richmond Centre ridings saw an increase of voters coming out to vote in advance polls this past weekend.

People’s Party of Canada candidate Ivan Pak was challenged on several issues: his leader’s comments about immigrants, LGBTQ issues and climate change. Ironically, given the theme of the debate, he said social issues shouldn’t be discussed in a federal election.

The preliminary count for Richmond Centre was 8,317 votes cast, up 29 per cent from the 2015 election. This mirrored numbers at advance polls across Canada, explained Albert Wei, the returning officer for Richmond Centre.

“Today, I am here as a member-of-parliament candidate, and I don’t think social issues should be involved in this particular election,” he said.

Neither Conservative candidate was at the meeting, hosted by the Richmond Centre for Disability and Richmond Poverty Response Committee and held at the new Minoru Centre for Active Living, nor was Richmond Centre Liberal candidate Steven Kou. A question from the audience quoted Maxime Bernier, leader of the fledgling PPC, that immigration shouldn’t “change the cultural character and social fabric of Canada,” and asked Pak what he thought of this idea.

Candidates for the federal election answered questions from the audience last week at the Minoru Centre for Active Living. Maria Rantanen photo Pak said he doesn’t think his party is racist or anti-immigration, but there should be a discussion about what level of immigration is reasonable for Canada.

Pak wasn’t the only candidate who was taken to task on their party’s policies.

In the 2015 election, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau vowed that election would be the last one under the first-past-the-post electoral system, but the promise to switch to a proportional-representation (PR) system was scrapped early in the mandate.

Peschisolido was challenged on this turn-

“Then (Trudeau) made the determination it wouldn’t be the last election under that old system,” Peschisolido said, adding that their current platform states they’ll look at it again after the election.

Green candidate Francoise Raunet (Richmond Centre) and NDP candidate Jaeden Dela Torre (Steveston-Richmond East) both argued for proportional representation.

In Steveston-Richmond East, the number of ballots cast in advance polls was 11,375, up by 19 per cent from the previous federal election.

Voting in Steveston-Richmond East went “extremely well” with very few lineups, said Michael Cohene, Elections Canada returning officer for the riding.

Across Canada, early estimates show 4.7 million voters who cast their ballots from Oct. 11 to Oct. 14, a 29-per-cent increase. Richmondites who didn’t vote in the advance polls, can vote on Oct. 21 in their riding.

Virtual Reality for Seniors

Chiu defends speaking at anti-SOGI event Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Steveston-Richmond East candidate Kenny Chiu has defended his presence on stage at an anti-SOGI meeting last year.

Pictures surfaced this week of Conservative Party hopeful Chiu front and centre at the Richmond meeting in June 2018, along with anti-SOGI campaigner Laura Lynn Thompson.

Thompson, who is running in the federal election for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) in Alberta, was at the forefront of many of last year’s rallies against school districts implementing the controversial Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy.

However, Chiu told the Richmond News that he was merely invited to the event, organized by a local neighbourhood association, to speak about his experience as a former school trustee.

And he claimed he didn’t at any point at the meeting, offer his opinion, for or against, the SOGI policy itself and had never met Thompson before that day.

“I was invited to share my experiences as a former school trustee and how the (school) board would implement policies, such as

A9

SOGI,” said Chiu.

“I didn’t mention to anyone about (whether or not I supported SOGI).”

Asked about his feelings, generally, on the SOGI policy being introduced in Richmond last year, Chiu said he “found it extremely disturbing that (the board) was not providing sufficient time and opportunities for parents and residents to give their opinion.

A Cleveland, Ohio, online publication called Cleveland Business published an article earlier this week about a startup company in Akron called Immersive Cure. This company is bringing Virtual Reality to Hospices, Care facilities and Senior Living Centers. The entrepreneur, Jessica Benson, actually brings units (which include VR goggles, a sound headset and programs offering relaxation scenarios) to facilities and allows seniors and veterans to use them. Some facilities have purchased units for their own, permanent use. Many veterans ask to “see” the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. Seniors often want to revisit places they used to go (various lakes, for example), and even other countries (Italy seems popular).

The units are not “medical devices” per se but they seem to improve the quality of life for residents, especially those suffering from chronic pain and anxiety. Seniors appear to be able to relax using the units.

The units sell for about $3,000. I have not yet heard of them being available here in B.C. but if they are not, hopefully they will be soon.

“There were numerous parents lining up to speak for and against the implementation (of SOGI).”

He claimed the school board was not open in the manner it conducted the implementation of SOGI. “It wasn’t done right,” he added. “It will split the community and could hurt the students it’s meant to protect.”

COMMUNITY COMMENT

Chiu later claimed that it is the “lack of consultation” that might hurt the students, as “not everyone’s opinion has been considered.”

“Richmond is a very multi-cultural society; there are people from all corners of the world, bringing with them many cultures,” he said.

“It’s a minefield. We need a ‘made in Richmond, for Richmond’ (SOGI policy). I still don’t understand what the rush was?”

Chiu faced similar questions when running in the same riding for the Tories in 2015.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL INFORMATION MEETING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Annual Information Meeting of the Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation will be held on November 21, 2019 at 6:00 pm at the Richmond Olympic Oval, 6111 River Road, Richmond, British Columbia.

At the meeting, members of the public will have an opportunity to meet with the Corporation’s Board of Directors, Senior Officers and Management, regarding the Corporation’s activities, achievements and future plans for the Richmond Olympic Oval.

DEAR CONSTITUENTS, DEAR RICHMOND CONSTITUENTS, As the Official Opposition Critic for Seniors Care, I recently visited Oak Tree Care Home in Richmond.

It is one of the many facilities around the province where care is provided for our elderly and frail citizens. Since the end of the recent legislative session, I have taken the opportunity to visit many care homes across BC including Nanaimo, Surrey, Vernon, Kelowna, Delta, Abbotsford, Vanderhoof and Richmond.

In visiting site after site, I have been deeply impressed by the passion and devotion of staff for residents in their care. Thank you to those who have chosen seniors care, your work is important to us all!

Operators of these facilities face a number of challenges, particularly when it comes to a lack of long-term care beds, aging infrastructure and staff shortages. It is estimated that BC has a current shortage of 1,400 spaces in long-term care, spaces necessary for those with the most acute health care needs. Seniors who do find a place in a suitable home currently face a critical shortage of health care aides, especially during the summer months when many front-line staff are on vacation.

These issues also have a huge impact on families. When an elderly person can no longer take care of themselves or a spouse, it is family caregivers who are typically called upon first to help.

With a shortage of care beds, long-term care spaces and home care resources, Richmond seniors and their caregivers are increasingly pressed. Please take the time to support a senior or caregiver you know. If you are a senior or caregiver, your Richmond MLAs are here to support you in ensuring you receive the care you deserve.

Stolen cruiser leads to patient being charged Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond Hospital patient, alleged to have stolen a Richmond police cruiser before going on a rampage down Gilbert Road last week, has been charged.

Muhammad Farid, 40, of Abbotsford, appeared in Richmond Provincial Court last Wednesday morning to answer to a charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and flight from a peace officer.

Just after noon on Monday, Oct. 7, Richmond RCMP were called to Richmond Hospital after a report that a patient, who was not permitted to leave the premises, had fled on foot.

A Mountie found the man in question, but was unable to take him into custody before the suspect allegedly got into the police cruiser and drove off.

The man driving the stolen police car is then alleged to have collided with a civilian vehicle and an unmarked police car near Gilbert and Donald roads, just north of Blundell Road.

He then collided with a second civilian ve-

hicle on Gilbert, just south of Blundell, where he was arrested.

A woman who was injured in the collision remains in hospital, said police, and is expected to recover from her serious injuries.

BC RCMP, which took over the case from Richmond RCMP, said it can’t comment any further, “given that this matter remains the subject of independent investigation by the (Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia) IIO BC.” Health authority bosses said last week that they will be reviewing security at the hospital.

A spokesperson for Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) said that there will be a meeting “with hospital leadership and hospital security to review the incident, to see if any improvements need to be made to protocols.”

The News asked VCH, which operates Richmond Hospital, what level of security the patient was subject to at the time he left the hospital.

The spokesperson declined to comment, citing privacy concerns, but added that, “Patient safety is our highest priority and we regret any anxiety this incident may have caused anyone.

PUCK DROP OCTOBER 1 - 30

Mike Tibbles has been taken to hospital many times while suffering a mental health crisis, and, at times, transportation has been in the back of a police car.

While he said police always treated him with “dignity and respect,” it might have helped to have not just a police officer at his door but also a mental-health worker, someone who could have advocated for him.

Tibbles was at the official launch on Thursday morning of the “Vancouver Coastal Health-RichmondRCMP Mental Health Car. Its mandate is to provide a “mobile assessment response” when someone is having a mental health crisis, explained Karen Barclay, director of mental health and substance use with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH).

Tibbles called the initiative “amazing,” saying the car with its specially trained officers and mental-health nurses will make dealing

“Their skills will make people like me feel supported and safe — it’ll help deescalate a crisis situation,” Tibbles said.

Mental health calls to the Richmond RCMP have risen dramatically over the past few years. In 2016, there were 1,389 and the number is projected to rise to 2,160 in 2019, an increase of 33 per cent.

The health authority recognizes mental health as a medical issue, not a criminal issue, explained Barclay. Having the mentalhealth car, staffed with a team made up of a police officer and mental health nurse, will not only ensure safety but also help the per-

The RCMP looked at different models in other communities and tailored their program to fit Richmond, said Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

City Board Amendment to the Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan (2019-2023) Bylaw No. 9979 The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the Annual Property Tax Rates Bylaw. The Community Charter also allows for amendments to the 5 Year Financial Plan.

Subsequent to the adoption of the City’s Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan (20192023) Bylaw No. 9979 on March 11, 2019, additional opportunities and projects have emerged. The current expenditure bylaw does not include these amounts. Therefore the City is proposing to amend its Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan Bylaw.

The calls may be received through 9-1-1 or the new mental health number, 604204-1111, and dispatchers will then decide whether the mental-health car is the best car to respond.

“The goal is to evaluate the current needs of the person and to match them with the best possible service,” Hwang said. “This could include the hospital or a referral to a community-based program.”

Up until this point, mentalhealth nurses have been responding to crisis situations on an ad-hoc basis. The mental-health car, which did a “soft launch” a month ago with positive results so far, is on duty seven days a week for 12-hour shifts, from late morning to evening.

The police car is an unmarked cruiser to respect people’s healthcare privacy, Barclay said, but also so people aren’t dissuaded from reaching out for help.

Historically, there has been a misunderstanding about the nature of mental

But there is still a ways to go to reduce misconceptions and negative attitudes.

“We still have a long way to go in our communities around stigma — I think shifting our awareness and becoming more compassionate, less judgmental, more responsive and more accessible are all parts of that,” Barclay said.

Hwang explained the mental-health officers were “hand-selected” for these

roles, and the team has received training to help them “appreciate the complex nature of mental illness in the context of the range of traumatic events a person may have to experience in their life.

“Team members may have displayed personality traits uniquely suited to this type of work,” Hwang added.

Families and clients have told VCH that it’s hard to know what to do when they’re in crisis, and this mental-health car, Barclay said, is one piece of the puzzle in a continuum of mental-health services.

Widows’ ‘boys’ reunited on bench Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“The boys are back together again.”

at a place where they all spent a chunk of their time while living.

And after Lynne enlisted the help of the Richmond News and city councillors, the city changed its mind this summer and passed a new policy which allowed three plaques on such benches.

Lynne Barclay beamed with pride and fought back the tears as she looked on for the first time at the park bench now dedicated to her late husband, Cliff, and his two lifelong pals, Ray Galawan and Tom Ross.

“It was well worth the fight, but we didn’t do it alone. We had help from Richmond city council and from (The News),” said an emotional Lynne, standing by the refurbished bench Friday morning.

Barclay — along with Galawan’s and Ross’ widows, Margaret and Bonnie — had been fighting for a year for the City of Richmond relax its maximum two-plaque rule on a bench at Finn Slough, overlooking the south arm of the Fraser River.

“We’re from an older generation, but it doesn’t mean we don’t have any fight left... You have to fight for what you think is right.”

For several years, only Cliff was memorialized on the bench, as part of the city-wide program, which allows grieving relatives to remember their loved ones.

Lynne said in January that their husbands “were such good friends for so many years…it would be a crime to separate them now.”

When his best friends Ray and Tom recently passed away, all three widows had the idea of having the trio remembered on the same bench,

Bonnie said it was, “nice to see (their husbands) all back together again.”

At a city council meeting in July, councillors approved a recommendation to increase the maximum number of plaques per bench to three and the maximum number per picnic table to eight.

Lynne Barclay (centre) led the fight against city hall, along with Margaret Galawan (left) and Bonnie Ross, to have their late husbands, Cliff, Ray and Tom, respectively, remembered on the same park bench on the Finn Slough. Alan Campbell photo

Cat shot by air gun in Terra Nova Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond family has set up a crowd-funding page to help with vet bills, after their cat was shot by an airgun.

The Buckinghams found their

cat, Mittens, in their Terra Nova home last Thursday with his face covered in blood.

They rushed him to a South Vancouver vet, believing he had gotten into a fight or had been attacked by a raccoon.

But they were shocked when the X-rays showed several pellets lodged in his nose and neck.

“Our sweet cat mittens got shot in the face by a pellet gun last night by one of our neighbours,” said Julia Buckingham on the GoFundMe page.

“He needed to be rushed to the vet, I didn’t think he was going to make it holding him in my arms... but he is a strong boy and he is doing well at the vets now.

“We have a lot of members to our family and not a lot of money or support for these kinds of vet bills. I’m asking for some financial help at this point to help save Mittens’ life. We love our boy and can’t imagine a life without him.”

hen given the opportunity to make an impact on local health care, ASPAC Developments Ltd. has a leading role in the community. “The idea of communitybuilding is close to our hearts. Our team genuinely cares,” says Ryan Laurin, Vice President of Marketing, ASPAC Developments Ltd. ASPAC is a local developer of world-class properties and River Green, its latest iconic development, which offers luxury and quality without compromise in stunning waterfront views. Hollybridge, the next phase of River Green in Richmond, has thoughtfully been developed to instill a feeling of community. “We are working towards empowering our homeowners to

“What does that come down to? Health and wellness.”

ASPAC Developments Ltd. is a long-time sponsor and donor of Richmond Hospital Foundation to improve local health care. Mr. Laurin says ASPAC places huge value on the importance of health care for the communities they build. “If our residents are not healthy, we do not have a community. It’s our commitment to ensure the communities we build encourage healthy and joyful living, and we are committed to supporting Richmond Hospital Foundation now and in the future.”

In addition to community, ASPAC Developments Ltd. also inspires their residents to lead a healthier life.

Q A

“We took a step back and designed our health facilities to specifically promote health and wellness,” says Mr. Laurin.

Hollybridge offers 21,000 square feet of amenities, three times the amount in a building. ASPAC sat down with the world’s number one fitness manufacturer, Technogym, to design their weight facilities and equipment. From Tai Chi to yoga and a pool, their focus is on a lifestyle that promotes healthy living for their residents.

“It’s these small details that make a huge impact. These are the things that make our lives better and more enjoyable,” says Mr. Laurin. Taking it one step further with their commitment to personal well-being, all homeowners in Hollybridge will receive a membership to the Richmond Oval.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes bump in the night in our local parks, a fun, but slightly spooky, event awaits you just south of the Fraser River this Saturday, Oct. 19.

Metro Vancouver’s parks department – ably assisted by several Richmond organizations – is hosting the free “Flashlight Mysteries” in Deas Island Regional Park, just the other side of the Massey Tunnel.

Billed as being an “evening filled with puzzles and challenges,” the event is hoping to get teenagers away from the video games and adults out the house to learn about the park’s creatures, including the resident bat colony.

Starnes. “The mysteries will take at least an hour and remember to bring a flashlight. We will have a one and a half-kilometre trail lit up with animal lanterns dotted along the trail, so you can solve the mysteries with the clues.

Celina Starnes, Metro Vancouver’s special events assistant, said Deas Island is home to all kinds of great wildlife.

“The 25-year-old that comes along is going to have as much fun as the teenagers.”

“In Burvilla House’s attic (in the park) there is a large colony. The caretaker lives there also, but the two living areas are sealed off, so he doesn’t need to worry, there won’t be anyone waking up with a bat on their face,” laughed

Anyone aged 11 and under needs to be accompanied by an adult.

On site will be The Bubble Tea Shop, hot waffles, hot chocolate and coffee.

Newcomers champion library services that our library champions make these connections in the community with other newcomers,” said Rasmussen.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Library champion Grace Zhu, 43, first heard about the library and its resources through her English classes at SUCCESS, and thought it would be a good place for her to meet and talk with people.

Immigrants helping immigrants is the philosophy behind Richmond Public Library’s “Champions” program.

NewtoBC’s Library Champions trains people who are new to Canada on how to reach out to others who are even newer to the country and let them know what resources the library offers — resources that might not have been available at libraries in their home countries.

Libraries in China don’t have the same type of community- and family-based programs and children’s play areas that Richmond offers, explained Jessica Yang, 33, one of three new library champions interviewed by the Richmond News.

“Here the library is almost like a community centre, which is different than Shanghai,” Yang added.

Through the library, Yang was able to connect with parenting resources and join ESL classes.

“I met a lot of friends here… I really appreciate what the library gives to me (so I) also want to volunteer to give this information to other newcomers,” she said.

“I heard the library was a popular place, and here I can connect with different people and due to the library champion project I have a lot of information I can share with others. So now I help my group (of friends),” said Zhu. Library champions Grace Zhu (far left) and Melanie Valerio-Marquez (far right), librarian Millicent Mabi (second left) and facilitator Helene Rasmussen have become acquainted through the Library Champions program. An information session for others wanting to join will be held Oct. 3. Kirsten Clarke photo The Champions’ training has also taken her connection to community a step further.

immigrants’ feelings of loneliness or isolation.

“(In the training session) I met a lot of people who have different backgrounds and I learned a lot of communication skills… We do presentations and they made me more confident to speak English,” said Yang.

During the three-month volunteer program, a group of 10 to 15 champions are trained to reach out to other new immigrants in their community.

Helene Rasmussen, facilitator for the Library Champions said she constantly hears of the “transformative” connections that the champions form among themselves and in the community, which can help lessen new

The sessions aim to build skills so champions can strike up conversations with other new immigrants they meet in the community, and let them know about the library.

“One of the things that I’m constantly struck by is the really creative and diverse ways

The champions also form close ties with each other within the program.

“We are constantly communicating,” said champion Melanie Valerio-Marquez, 43, who immigrated to Canada from the Philippines. “To me that’s one by-product of the project that’s personally enriching.”

“We spend a lot of time together, and we become like a family,” said Millicent Mabi, community services librarian at RPL, adding some of the newcomers have only been in Canada for a few weeks when they enter the program.

The Champions program has been running since 2013. Newcomers to Canada who are permanent residents can volunteer. An information session will be held on Oct. 31.

Customers take over shop Gold Seal celebrates century of canning Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Kirsten Clarke

After nearly two decades of being customers, one couple decided to take over their favourite wine store when the owners retired.

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Bill Koopmans and his wife, Heather Hannah, purchased Steveston Winemakers just over a year and a half ago, after having been customers of the DIY-wine shop since they moved to Steveston in 2001.

And while both are getting ready to retire from their day jobs — Koopmans’ background is in IT, while his wife is a chartered professional accountant — they’re just getting started on their new venture.

The two were inspired to purchase the business, said Koopmans, as a way to give back to, and engage more with, their community.

“A great thing to do is get involved in the community through the shop and get to know some more of our neighbours. So that was really the thought behind it,” said Koopmans, adding that they had gotten to know the previous owners quite well over the past 20 years, and that the winemakers’ staff and customers are close-knit.

“It’s a family, it’s a bunch of friends. We’re very close,” said Koopmans.

Bill Koopmans and his wife, Heather Hannah. Photo submitted Most of the staff, apart from one who retired, have stayed on after the company’s ownership changed hands. And the staff know each customer’s name and wine preferences, said Koopmans — something that he and Hannah are working hard at.

Koopmans has brought his experience in IT to the winery, creating a program to help automate the weekly process of ordering the store’s wine kits, which used to be done manually.

Next on the list, said Koopmans, is focusing more on the store’s marketing, working with people who are looking to make wine for weddings or special occasions, and building Steveston Winemakers’ social media presence.

It’s salmon and a bit of salt in a can: a century-old recipe that has been one Richmond company’s key to success.

“The product is really unchanged in 100 years,” said Gold Seal’s president and CEO Ian Ricketts. “And I really think that’s the key to success, when so many brands historically have tried to optimize profitability at the expense of quality.”

And while Gold Seal has seen a number of milestones in its lifetime — the creation of the first fisheries research laboratory in Canada in 1927, and employing Walt Disney in the 1940s to design some of the company’s first print ads and promotional characters — none is

as important as celebrating its centennial, according to Ricketts.

“I don’t think you can really beat 100 years. I think that 2019 is the biggest milestone for the company — reaching that century of being a brand. There’s just so few brands that stand the test of time.”

Ricketts also attributes the company’s longevity and success to its people, who have helped the brand survive ups and downs and economic throughout the years.

“We have a small team of 34 people here at Ocean Brands and I would say that many of them (have) 30 to 35 years of experience in the industry. These are very passionate people as it relates to seafood and (they have) a really strong dedication to quality,” said Ricketts.

Earlier this year, Gold Seal

was named a Certified B Corporation for its commitment to social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Gold Seal products have been produced by the Great Canadian Fishing Company for five decades since 1868 — before the name Gold Seal received its own trademark in November 1919.

Ricketts also grew up with Gold Seal products stocking the shelves of his pantry, something he thinks many Canadians can relate to and which has helped the brand reach an “iconic” status.

“Gold Seal is one of those brands I grew up with in my household… I was very excited (when I came to the company) because it was a brand that, right away, I recognize from childhood and still have in my pantry today.

I’ve just always had it in my house.

Feast features Asian flavours

pating restaurants have put together menus and specials that show off their best dishes and most distinct offerings.

Eve Edmonds

And by Asian, this festival means everything from Chinese to Persian, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Shanghainese, Filipino and more.

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It’s no secret that Richmond has some of the best Asian food in the world — and that’s not just a local’s brag.

At the launch, MLA Jas Johal endorsed the event, saying Richmond’s Asian cuisine has earned its international reputation in part thanks to its unique fusion quality — a quality that well reflects the city’s diversity.

The New York Times wrote: “Richmond has the best Chinese food outside of greater China — full stop.” (June 4, 2018)

Acting mayor Linda McPhail echoed Johal’s cultural connection, noting that events like this foster cultural harmony.

So there you have it. But how to find those savoury haunts is another matter. More often than not, it’s by word of mouth; and knowing what to order once you get there is yet another insider secret.

Feast Asian Dining Festival aims to blow that wide open.

Festival organizers, Alvin Chow and Sonny Wong, are shining a spotlight on 34 of the city’s best Asian restaurants throughout the month-long culinary event starting Oct. 18.

“Richmond has some wonderful Asian restaurants hiding in plain sight,” said Wong at Tuesday’s media launch.

The festival aims to be a kind of culinary guide, helping the cuisine curious as well as hard-core foodies explore the

Bowl of awesomeness A poke bowl shop in Richmond is now offering their “Gold Bowl,” which is a bowl of awesomeness that can satisfy each poke bowl lover’s craving, according to the store owner.

This massive bowl contains a mixture of B.C. sea urchin, seared Hokkaido scallops, Uni Miso Pearl, coho salmon roe, torched sweet corn and rice.

Two people can try the gold bowl, sharing the food and the bill, according to Jonathan Watanabe, the business manager of Pokey Okey.

“My partner and middle school friend Victor He and I love sea urchin. So we want to find a good way to feature uni (sea urchin) and create something a bit more exciting than before,” said Watanabe.

For people who might not be that into the ultra-fancy bowl, the shop also offers other options, including the red bowl for sashimi lovers and the green bowl for vegetarians.

Hotpot unites friends In Chinese culture, hotpot isn’t just delicious comfort food, it’s also a great way to socialize and spend quality time with family.

Liuyishou, one of China’s most popular hotpot chains, has joined the Feast this year. This international franchise company is going to introduce “authentic” Chongqing-style hotpot to foodies.

Poke bowls, also known as rice bowls filled with fresh fish and colourful toppings, have taken over many people’s Instagram feeds.

Pokey Okey, a hidden gem located next to Richmond City Hall, will be serving up what looks to be the most expensive “Gold Bowl” from Oct. 18 to Nov. 18.

This is the festival’s second year. Last year, organizers included restaurants from across the Lower Mainland, whereas this year it will only focus on Richmond. But in a case of less is more, David Chung, president of the B.C. Asian Restaurant Cafe Owners Association noted that in just one year, the festival has “really blossomed.”

Jonathan Watanabe serves special poke bowls.

Nono Shen photo their own bowl.

One of the pleasures of having poke bowls is that people can curate their own choice of proteins and vegetables, said Watanabe.

“You can’t go wrong with poke bowls.

You can choose what you want, so don’t be afraid to try. Besides the fact that they are delicious, they are also widely popular among those who are looking for nutritious meals.”

This venture is a collaboration between He and Watanabe. He had been working under “the demon chef” Alvin Leung, well known in the culinary scene in Hong Kong, at a Michelin Star restaurant in China before moving back to Richmond.

Watanabe welcomes anyone to head in and give it a try and tell him what you think.

Chinese hotpot usually consists of a simmering metal pot with broth placed in the centre of a table with thinly-sliced meat artistically placed beside the metal pot.

People can add and cook whatever they like in the broth, according to Rita Ran, director of branding and human resources of Liuyishou International.

“Chongqing-style hotpot is a pork-bone broth with floating isles of ‘beef oil.’

“The broth, a secret blend of 30 seasonings, is scented with mounds of peppercorns,” said Ran. For people who avoid spicy food, the mixed mushroom soup and pork ribs and sweetcorn soup are good alternatives. But lots of fans come for the fiery broth.

“Hotpot is good for large groups to share together. Having hotpot can not only warm your body in winter but also boost your mood through chatting with friends,” said Ran, adding that “The friendships can be closer than before after one meal.”

The name of the restaurant is translated as “one-armed Liu” from Mandarin, which

is named after the restaurant founder who lost a hand in a car accident.

Instead of complaining about life not being fair, the founder established his own business with the purpose of bringing love and hope to the community.

“We hope to bring this positive attitude to everyone. Even if you are going through a tough time at this moment, please enjoy a hotpot with your friends, and then carry on with your life. Everything will be all right,” said Ran.

Bros for Korean fusion Food runs in family

If there is one place you should enjoy a Korean barbecue outside of South Korea, your bucket list should include Mr. Bro Korean Bistro.

Danny’s Wun Tan restaurant, a family-run restaurant located in Ironwood, has been known for its Hong Kong-style barbecue for decades.

“Korean barbecue is one of the tastiest cuisines for many local foodies. The flavours are simple, yet so delicious, and different cuts of meats complement this dish perfectly,” said Zerom Hwang, chef and founder of Mr. Bro Bistro.

Now the Cheung family, owners of the restaurant, is thrilled to present their most iconic dish to customers at the Asian Feast festival.

Keen to offer a new perspective on Korean barbecue, Hwang and his younger brother Taewon Seo are dedicated to introducing hot stone grill cooking to more people.

During the month-long Feast Asian Dining Festival, they will offer a variety of grilled meat such as skirt steak, prime rib finger and prime pork belly.

To add flavour to these meats, Seo and Hwang have even created three kinds of house-made dipping sauce, which are Ssamjang sauce (Korean soybean paste), spicy sauce and herb salt.

Different from other barbecue styles, Hwang and his brother prefer to use dipping sauce to bring out the meat flavours instead of marinating the meat for the grill.

“The beauty of Korean cuisine is about being natural without combining too many elements,” said Hwang.

Intent on creating an upscale dining experience, they have also put a unique twist on the traditional Korean cuisine by melding innovative techniques.

They will also feature several modern

Zerom Hwang and Taewon Seo. Nono Shen photo dishes for the upcoming Feast event, such as cheese with kimchi fried rice, rice cake skewers, and house green salads topped with banana dressing.

“You won’t see these dishes at other traditional Korean restaurants. As the next generation becomes more globalized, we try to add new elements to traditional cuisine, but we will also keep the honesty and tradition of Korean food,” said Hwang.

Before moving to Richmond, the brothers spent many years serving as master chefs at high-end restaurants in different countries, including the U.S. and Japan. They introduce Korean barbecue wherever they go.

“As the world is changing rapidly, food will also be reinvented. Instead of creating something different, we prefer to maintain the parts we want and make something better.”

Linda Cheung, co-owner and chef at Danny’s, runs the restaurant with her brother, Lawrence, and her younger sister Kat. The Cheung family are familiar faces for the local Chinese community, and their barbecue meat is among one of the musttry dishes for local food lovers.

This time their custom menu features finely chopped crispy pork belly, barbecue chicken, roast duck and soy sauce chicken. A generous portion of rice and greens will be served on the side.

“These are all classics. You can have this signature cuisine as the main dish with rice or as a side dish for the whole family to share,” said Linda, adding that this big platter will be served for a price of $14.95 before tax.

Roast pork belly is all about the golden brown, crunchy and slightly puffy skin.

Slabs of pork belly are punctured with special house-made sauce before roasting. Then the dermal fat will turn into a crackling shell after it’s taken out of the oven, according to Cheung.

The Cheung family has been cooking barbecue meat for 43 years. Linda said she first learned all recipes from her mother, Joyce Cheung, who emigrated from

Linda Cheung and her brother Lawrence. Nono Shen photo Hong Kong to Canada with her husband Danny in the early 1970s.

Joyce opened their first restaurant in Richmond: Canton Wun Tun at Times Square.

And then they moved to Ironwood and changed the name to Danny’s.

On the surface, Danny’s may look like a typical Cantonese barbecue shop. Upon closer inspection, however, you might find this restaurant has its own specialty — caring for any customer who walks through the door.

“My mum always told me if you put something on the table, you need to make sure you also want to taste it as well,” said Cheung. “We prepare food just like cooking for our family members, and we take pride in what we do. We encourage everyone to come in and try the BBQ meat, and tell me what you think.”

Memories of Yunnan Chef cooks up abalone inspire culinary arts Shiang Garden, an authentic Chinese restaurant, aims to invite gourmets to enjoy seafood by creating a lavish dish for the Feast Asian Dining Festival.

Meetrice Noodle, a hugely successful noodle joint based in China, will celebrate the 32-day Asian dining festival by offering classic rice noodle dishes.

Braised chicken and abalone in clay pots are normally served during special occasions year-round, such as the Chinese New Year or for golden wedding anniversaries.

This popular rice noodle chain specializes in Yunnan-style noodles, also known as “crossing-the-bridge” noodles, where the broth and noodles are served separately.

However, Allen Chan, the general manager of Shiang Garden, decided to offer this signature dish to Richmondites every day during Feast.

The chain is known for its chewy and slippery rice noodles, which were once listed as a cultural heritage in China, said Gary Chen, the restaurant’s owner.

“Crossing-the-bridge noodles have an over 100-year history in China,” said Chen, adding that “if customers choose to eat at the restaurant, they (can) have access to unlimited rice noodles for free.”

The restaurant chain is also known for its broth, which is made with pork bone and chicken meat. And the soup is served hot while the other ingredients, including vegetables, proteins and condiments, are brought to the table separately on the side.

Diners can build their bowls by adding “toppings” and cooking them in the broth within several minutes, similar to the Chinese hotpot. Other offerings include boiled edamame and rose cake with matcha.

According to Chen, the decision to offer rice noodles was to bring the taste of the most well-known dish from southwest China’s Yun-

nan to food lovers here.

“I visited Yunnan province in China many years ago, and I couldn’t get the beautiful scenery and the delicious regional food out of my head.

“After talking with my business partner Andy Lin, we all agreed that we could open a rice noodle restaurant here,” said Chen.

“Although we couldn’t show everyone the beauty of Yunnan, we could still introduce delicious cuisines from Yunnan to here.”

“It’s a treat you don’t want to miss. Lots of Chinese immigrants remember it from childhood, back in those days, this dish was popularly served at wedding banquets.

“Today, this dish is seldom served because abalone has gotten pricey. Still, it’s worth a splurge if you have never tried it before,”said Chan.

Also, the entire platter will be placed in clay pots. A cloud of steam will rise as the lid is lifted, and a delicious mist can shroud the people at the table.

“As winter approaches, clay pot dishes are becoming more popular since the pot can keep the dish hot for a while,” said Chan.

Also, Shiang Garden has created a spe-

cial menu for up to six people per table to share. Apart from braised chicken and abalone hotpot, clients can select three dishes from custom menu, such as sweet and sour pork with pineapple and pepper steak stir fry.

The founder of Shiang Garden originally hailed from China, then moved to Taiwan, where he established his own restaurant.

Twenty years later, he immigrated to Canada and brought the popular restaurant chain here.

“Food operates as a cultural identity, but it can also connect people. Our mission is to enrich the diversity in the local community by offering an incredible selection of droolworthy dishes,” said Chan.

Mike Yee’s Steveston-London Sharks sit 3-0 in city play and 12th in the latest provincial AAA rankings. They outlasted the McRoberts Strikers 3-2 in a terrific battle a week ago and another big match looms on Oct. 22 against unbeaten and defending champion Richmond Christian.

Yee is familiar with players on all three teams thanks to his years of work at the club level with Air Attack.

He has also volunteered on the senior girls side with his daughter Jaylen having a leading role in Richmond Christian finishing second at the provincials back in 2015.

“It’s good for the sport of volleyball in Richmond to see the level of play has gone up overall,” said Yee. “You want to see the league be competitive and more teams involved.”

When it comes time for the post-season, the leading contenders will go

Six-foot-five Jalen Johal has been a force at the net for the 12th AAA ranked Steveston-London Sharks. Mark Booth photo down different paths in the new South Fraser (Richmond, Surrey, Delta) Zone based on their school size.

Steveston-London happened to knock off the latter at the recent Argyle Tournament in North Vancouver.

The Sharks will be competing at the AAA level for the largest schools and a tier that features defending champion and current No. 1 ranked Earl Marriott. However, the South Surrey school is already guaranteed a berth into the provincials as the host team. That leaves four berths up for grabs in the 11-team zone playoff tournament. Only Seaquam (8) and Fraser Heights (10) are ahead of them in the rankings and

“I’m salivating and licking my chops,” added Yee. “I think we have a very good shot of being in the top four, especially since Marriott really doesn’t need to play with an automatic berth.”

The Sharks feature plenty of size including 6-foot-5 senior Jalen Johal who has been a major force so far.

Steveston-London is seeking its first city championship since winning back-toback titles in 2013-14.

New zone suits top 10 Strikers just fine The McRoberts Strikers find themselves in unfamiliar territory in more ways than one.

Not only are the defending Richmond senior girls volleyball champions part of the new South Fraser Zone, they are the clear team to beat. That’s stark contrast to recent years when they usually had Vancouver private school powerhouses Little Flower Academy and Crofton House standing in their way when it came time for the Lower Mainland AAA playoffs.

Thanks to B.C. School Sports adding zones to Greater Vancouver this year, Richmond is now grouped with Surrey and Delta. The AAA tier doesn’t offer much in the way of competition for this season at least.

The top Surrey public schools all play in the largest tier (AAAA) while the perennial private school powerhouses are at the AA level. A dip in enrolment at McRoberts nearly put the Strikers in AA tier which would have meant another dogfight for a provincial berth.

A year ago, they lost out at a seventeam provincial AAA wild card tourney.

“I like exactly where we are,” smiled longtime McRoberts teacher and volunteer coach Trish Nicholson. “It seems like everyone (in South Fraser) is AAAA or AA and they are the top dogs. When I looked at the provincial rankings I wondered how could we be seven and there is no (other South Fraser team) underneath us either.”

Richmond FC launching indoor league across city Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Parents of kids who have a passion for soccer but don’t love playing it in the rain will be happy to hear Richmond FC will be playing some games indoors this winter.

No, the city’s largest registration kid sports organization isn’t ditching the outdoor game, rather it will be offering indoor options for those who want them.

555 West 12th Ave. Vancouver citysquarevan.com

RFC’s Richmond Indoor Soccer League is taking registrations now for Sunday Night Soccer — an initiative to help bring more kids to the game and play it in more parts of the city.

The pilot season will be open to kids ages U5 to U16 and starts in early December.

“It’s no secret Richmond outdoor soccer facilities are pretty concentrated in the west part of the city,” says RFC board member Chris Parry. “We’re seeing more and more families moving toward the city centre and to the eastern parts as well, so we figured we should bring the game to the kids, in venues close to where they live, rather than asking them to fight traffic westward.”

The Richmond Indoor Soccer League will see kids drafted into teams in their local areas, including the Terra Nova Terrors, Minoru Mariners, Seafair Stingers, Cambie Highwaymen, King George Royals, and the Ironwood Inferno. Ambitions to host a team in Hamilton have been delayed due to lack of available venues east of No. 5 Road.

“We envision running these leagues like cosom hockey,” says Parry, “with a ‘last off, last in’ substitution rule, no goalies, and short 5v5 games to minimize the damage from blowouts.

“We ideally want boys and girls playing, and for all skill levels to find a place in the league. Kids who’ve never played soccer before are welcome, as are those who used to play but have dropped out over the years, and we’ll endeavour to keep the teams even skill-wise.”

One driving factor behind the league is the large number of children in Richmond who can’t play soccer on the

The five founding fanchises for a new Sunday evening indoor soccer league. traditional Saturdays, due to tutoring, competing sports, and family duties.

“Playing our games on Sunday night won’t appeal to everyone,” continued Parry, “but it’s the families who are missing out...that we really want to bring in.

“It’s an opportunity for kids to get a little fitter, have a little more non-screen fun, take some pride in their neighbourhood, and for parents to not have to drive all over the Lower Mainland for them to take part.”

With games at Wowk, Quilchena, Talmey, McKay and Mitchell elementary schools, the idea is to open the whole city to soccer.

“At worst, you’re going to travel across Richmond for a game,” added Parry. “At best, you can walk there.”

Registration for the fall to spring season is $50 per child, which includes a team t-shirt.

Tom later worked for Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) of Canada and was promoted to Director of International Medical Research, moving his family to New Jersey. After many years travelling the world for MSD, he fell in love with Vancouver, B.C., so he and his second wife, Elizabeth (Vreede) moved there so he could go back to working with patients directly.

Tom loved the outdoors. As a young intern, he was excited to become a pilot so he could fly himself to help patients in the Canadian bush. He always felt privileged to have been able to travel to numerous major cities and countries through his work and vacationing. His main lifetime passion, besides his family, was sailing and over the years he owned several boats which allowed for many family reunions and races. He was a member of the Eagle Harbor Yacht Club, President of the local Seniors’ Advisory Committee, and strong supporter of the Richmond Music School, where he was privileged to listen to the highly talented students of his third wife, Patricia Hepner, practice for 23 years.

He was a poet and a writer. After a tremendous amount of research and travel, he published a book on Celtic history and its influence on Christianity.

Tom will always be remembered by his outgoing nature and love of gatherings, where he made everyone feel welcome. He left us all with countless wonderful memories.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, his aunt Margaret ‘Madge’ Forrest Park Fleming, his son Ian Meikle, his first wife Mary Helen Hench, his sister Mary ‘Mollie’ Shields McAllister and nephew, Andrew McAllister, and his third wife Patricia Hepner and her son Jeremy. Surviving family members include his sons James Malcolm, Duncan Airlie (Dorbe), and Douglas John Airlie (Jacqueline), and his daughters Helen Leslie Brown (Damian) and Ingeborg ‘Borja’ Fisher-Brown (Mark), his second wife, Elizabeth ‘Paxie’ Vreede (Marc), two grandsons, Ryan Thomas and Callum Ian, and four granddaughters, Heather Alyson, Lisette Mikaela, Anika Maurika, Kathryn Tenaya, his niece Alison ‘Ali’ Margaret McAllister, and also by Patricia’s family, Darcy, Astrid, and Camilla.

He will be greatly missed by all of us!

Bettie was born the 4th of 12 children to Anton and Agnes Lundquist in Saskatoon and grew up on a farm near Maidstone, Saskatchewan. She had a very happy childhood and after attending a one room school, she continued her education by correspondence then left home to attend Regina College in Saskatoon.

SWITZER, Robert Victor May 8, 1943 − October 9, 2019 Bob passed away at Irene Thomas Hospice after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Bob fought cancer with such grace and dignity and was an inspiration to many. His motto was to always be positive and smiling.

Bob worked as Deputy and Chief Building Official for the City of Richmond for 21 years. He also worked for Polygon Homes as Senior Vice President for 11 years. Bob loved fishing and camping with his friends but mostly cherished his time at Black Mountain Ranch. He will be greatly missed by Jackie, his wife of 51 years; sons, Colin (Jenn) and Matthew (Jessica); and his grandchildren, Lucas and Leona. Many thanks to Dr. Yun and the nurses at Richmond General Cancer Clinic.

No service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Delta Hospice Society may be made.
