Victim of rant replies Open letter to Mr. Hanssens, Re: “Apology for racist rant offered,” Letters, June 18.

I commend you for coming forward publicly to apologize, and we as a group accept your apology.

It was never our intention to vilify you or make the post go viral, but given recent racial tensions, I hope you can also empathize with the importance of us standing up for ourselves; we don’t want anyone else to experience any type of harassment. And I believe since the incident, you have received some negative attention as well, so I am truly sorry you had to experience that.

I have not called you a racist, and still don’t believe you are one, some of the things you did and said that day were regrettably racially charged, but we all make mistakes, and I believe you

simply made a few that day.

While I have been criticized for not putting that label on you, I am willing to bear that criticism and standby what I believe in.

Putting that label on anyone is easy, but calling out on the behaviour and finding ways to change that behaviour will always be harder, and I will choose the harder way any day because that will bring about real change.

With everything that’s going on in the world, we are all anxious about the future and grieving in some way, and the only way we can get through this is together, so now is not the time to place blame on one another.

I hope we can be allies and not opponents when it comes to opening the dialogue and make our community a better place.

Race word loaded Dear Editor, The BLM movement is about our basic human rights. The Black community is not being afforded the same rights of equality in many corners of our society. It should be an open and shut case, but it is not.

Why? We view the world from our own lens without realizing it is only one perspective fraught with ignorance, bias and self-interest. As a result, we act accordingly, whether consciously or unconsciously.

The word race comes from a place of ignorance. Race is a made-up label. We’ve already been informed that human biology doesn’t differ by race. In 2003, the human genome project was completed which is a genetic blueprint

The pace of news is unprecedented as we face the COVID-19 pandemic together.

for building a human. It was announced that the concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.

Yet, we are letting a mere word called “race” tear us apart.

We have a problem of ignorance in society and some choose to succumb to willful ignorance and selfinterest.

We even conflate language and thoughts to suit our ideology.

When white people hear the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” they sometimes hear: “Only Black Lives Matter.” When Black people utter the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” they are really saying, “Black Lives Matter, Too.”

Columns strike a chord Dear Editor, Re: Language not black and white,” “People in racist glass houses...” Voices, June 4, 18.

I just want to take the opportunity to say that I am really enjoying your recent Voices columns with the thoughtful commentary on the issues raised by the Black Lives Matter movement and what it means for all of us.

As a white woman married to a Black man, I’ve had a front row seat on the issues that confront people that “stick out” in a crowd.

An enlightening experience for me has been visiting places where I was literally the only white person.

The shoe was on the other foot and I felt a profound sense of unease initially, and I imagined what it must be like to live that as your daily reality.

The sad part is that I have always been treated with far more respect and courtesy in those situations than is offered to many Black people in whitedominated cultures.

History should be Pat on the back to judged in context school community Dear Editor,

We can not judge history or its central figures through today’s rosy lens without applying context.

The manufactured controversy over Churchill is one example. He became an incredibly skilled leader but he was also the product of his times. We all are. No historical figure could withstand the purity tests of today. Not Martin Luther King, Caesar, FDR, Genghis Khan, Ho Chi Minh, JFK, Kohl, Mao or Pierre Trudeau.

Certainly, there are historical figures that can be universally condemned including the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and Idi Amin.

Tragically, the list is long and the despots and their symbols can rightly be buried in dark museum corners rather than parks or in front of capitols.

In the U.S., it never made sense to me that Confederate flags, generals and political figures would be on prominent display even though I understand the institutional racism behind the modus operandi. After all, they advocated for slavery and lost a devastatingly brutal civil war.

Open letter to school community,

Further, the injustices, inequities and brutality towards African Americans from slavery, to Jim Crow, to institutional barriers including commerce, education, justice, politics and health are very real and impact the African Americans to this day despite incremental improvements.

which they have dealt with this adversity is a demonstration of their maturity and resilience. Like their parents and teachers, we are proud of our graduating students and wish them the best for the future.

On behalf of the Board of Education, we would like to thank our students, parents, teachers, administrators and support staff for their hard work, cooperation and support this year.

However, condemnation of many historical leaders based on today’s standards, with no context, is puritanical. Destroying, damaging or removing statues of George Vancouver or Sir John A. McDonald because they were imperfect by today’s standards is intellectually lazy and it relies on an equivalency argument that reeks of desperation.

Next September, some staff will not be returning as they The past three months have will have retired.

As for Churchill, his human imperfections are completely understandable and not so egregious. He loved the British Empire for all its accomplishments and despite its imperfections and mistakes. But, he was one of the England’s greatest people and saved the United Kingdom and arguable more countries from absolute tyranny.

Summer brings Shady Island rescues Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It happens every summer in Steveston with frightening regularity and many of the warnings still appear to be going unheeded.

Despite multiple signs to the contrary, people — mainly teenagers — are still venturing out onto Shady Island at low tide and then getting trapped when the Fraser River inevitably rushes back in.

Two things usually unfold; they call 9-1-1 and either the Coast Guard or the RCMP’s Fraser Guardian vessel get dispatched to help or they try to swim back.

It’s the latter of the two that gives Richmond RCMP sleepless nights, with rescues taking place as recently as last week.

“We received a call for service just last week about three teenagers who were trying to swim back from the island,” said Sgt. Ross Lundie, NCO I/C for the Richmond RCMP’s Fraser Guardian vessel.

“Fortunately, the three made it safely back to shore but the outcome could have been very different.

“My years on the RCMP dive team recovering

drowning victims has shown me that many people overestimate their ability to swim or underestimate the distance and aren’t prepared for the cold and current.”

Shady Island is an untouched, undeveloped piece of natural land, situated in the South Arm of the Fraser River by the Steveston waterfront.

A Steveston resident who lives on Princess Street — just 100 yards or so from the access point across to the island — called the Richmond News in the hope more awareness of the danger gets out.

Richmond RCMP said it understands the lure of the island, but is at pains to remind people that they are actually trespassing when they cross over.

“The Fraser River that surrounds Richmond can be deceiving,” added Lundie.

Care home visits allowed in special circumstances Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In exceptional circumstances, family members are allowed to visit loved ones in long-term care homes, but only with permission from the medical health officer.

Dr. Meena Dawar, Richmond’s medical health officer, pointed out in cases where a care home resident’s well-being is being “significantly impacted” family members can apply for a “compassionate exemption,” with the support of those running the facility.

Otherwise, outdoor visitations are allowed if the care home resident is able to get outside him or herself, Dawar clarified.

“While on the surface it can sometimes look calm, it in fact is a fast flowing river with strong currents, undertows and rapidly changing conditions. We see boat operators with all the safety and proper navigation equipment run into issues on it. It is definitely not a place to be without proper safety equipment or to try and swim.”

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat raised the question at last Tuesday’s Richmond COVID-19 Community Task Force, pointing out Toronto is now allowing visitations once a week.

Even though the RCMP would rather people didn’t go to Shady Island, at all, they still want them to call for help, instead of trying the hero route.

“Many seniors really suffer — they might not pass away because of COVID-19 (but) they might pass away because of isolation and thinking their

loved ones are deserting them and not coming to visit them,” Wat said.

“For the mental health of the seniors, I’m hoping that we can think about a more creative way of how to let loved ones to visit the seniors at the senior home.”

Dawar replied to Wat that it’s a topic that’s been on the minds of the health authority for many weeks.

“It is absolutely important, while we protect seniors and facilities from COVID, we have to ensure their other needs are met including joy and love and personal care that only family members can provide,” she said.

The province will decide on a strategy when it’s safe to open long-term care homes, Dawar said, adding this might not be a province-wide order but could be based on local epidemiology.

The long-term care home operator must apply to Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) for the compassionate exemption.

The health order governing longterm care homes also requires a safety plan be in place to manage any risks.

Trees under threat Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond resident isn’t happy about the loss of nine oak trees on Lansdowne Road at No. 3 Road, which are being removed in conjunction with the redevelopment of the property and the creation of a 10-metre-wide linear park.

A sign appeared last week giving “48 hour notice” that the trees will be removed because they are in “poor condition”

and “conflict with linear park construction.”

Don Flintoff said he noticed the sign late last week and was puzzled that what appear to be healthy trees are going to be removed.

The oak trees are on Lansdowne next to what used to be the community police building and Richmond Centre for Disability. That lot and three adjacent ones to the north are being developed with an office tower and three residential towers.

“It’s an area of town that

is going to be high-rise — we need these trees,” Flintoff said.

According to the city’s acting arborist, Michael Griffith, the trees have been in poor condition for years and have an incurable viral infection. Furthermore, the trees were planted in poor soil with limited space to grow.

Wharf masks mandatory Anyone visiting Fisherman’s Wharf will be required to wear a face mask as of Friday, June 26, to reduce the spread of COVID-19, according to the Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA).

The plan is for the developer to pay $11,700 to compensate for the trees, and double the number will be planted in the city.

Those without a mask or face covering will be “denied access” to the wharf, by order of the SHA, a notice posted to the authority’s website stated. Non-medical masks, bandanas, scarves and cloth can be used, according to the notice.

Movie endings can elicit an array of emotions, from tragic heartbreak to heartwarming satisfaction.

Some have said to us “you’ll be ready when you’re older.”

This is the best part of the movie, but the lights have suddenly turned on and the film has stopped rolling.

Our graduating class is faced with an enthralling cliff-hanger, a challenge for every one of us to surmount. But we will undoubtedly overcome these obstacles with purpose, hope, and bravery.

Our reality is uncertain, but one thing is clear — our graduating class is the future of strong, hopeful, resilient visionaries the world has been waiting for.

No other graduating class will experience what we have. But we are the Class of 2020.

Courage and integrity and empathy and drive course through our veins. Our energy is palpable even through a screen.

Graduation is us and our power to brave the obstacles that seem to grow legs to seek us out, and our potential to fight the injustices that hold us back.

Our movie ending is one wrought with uncertainty and mystery. I know we’re hoping for that all-important ending where we are left both happy and a bit sad that it’s over.

But the director of our movie has given us

I will admit that I don’t yet feel completely ready. I wonder if any of you feel the same way.

McMath was our space of support, with considerate staff and familiar friends.

Sometimes, I wonder if graduating means letting go of this support.

But I have complete faith in our abilities to handle whatever comes next.

We’ve learned and grown, and most importantly, worked together.

something much more intimate than that.

The director has given us a blank script, with which we can design our own destinies.

It’s our movie now. On this day, we become legendary. Everything we’ve dreamed of is waiting for us, because the world is ours now.

The reality of our world today may be uncertain and intimidating, but it is inspiring too.

This generation is now ours to shape — its problems ours to solve, and its successes ours to celebrate. It’s always darkest before dawn.

We are destined for great things, because we’re not just any class — we are the Class of 2020.

Whether it was cheering for the grad guys at Breakfast with Santa or pulling on the same rope at the Pep Rally, we did these things united as a grad class.

Your effort and care have not only cemented you as our role models, but also our friends.

To our family members: thank you for years of love and unconditional support.

You have truly made us the people we are today.

Finally, to the grads: I wouldn’t have wanted to graduate with any other class.

For that reason, I’m confident we’ll find communities to support us in our futures just like those that supported us at McMath.

You have played an irreplaceable part in creating memories and feelings that we will all remember for a long time.

Now, I’d like to thank the people who have supported us with their time and energy.

It’s been an absolute pleasure and I hope that we can all meet again.

Thank you to the endless list of staff who have been positive forces in our lives: the office staff, administrators, counsellors, custodians, cafeteria staff, EAs, librarians, lab tech and teachers.

And tonight, grads, we celebrate exactly what we finished.

Let’s remember it’s not about what we started, it’s about what we finished.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020 — we did it!

Fellow Ravens, family and friends: Would you believe me if I told you that we are living the greatest story ever told?

It’s the story of you and your life — one that cannot be edited, proofread or copied, where we, as our own protagonists, grow and encounter new adventures each new day.

The moral of this “chapter,” the most important one especially during this time of uncertainty and frustration, is to consider every special little moment a blessing — the nights you stay up too late with friends, the books that inspire you to start listening in class or the times you do good for your community.

School’s goal was never to memorize, but to prepare us to determine our legacy. Being open to the unexpected as you figure out who you are will lead you to your true interests, friends and your calling. Everything else will fall into place.

After today, not only are you the protagonist of your own story, you’re the author.

You can decide your own path, a journey only you can write. It won’t be an easy one, but surprise your readers — everybody

There is no doubt that enduring a pandemic is intimidating, but when we recover, and we will, our generation will drive and reflect a changing world where the new normal is shaped by us.

loves an underdog story.

Family and teachers: you are the ghostwriters of this story. Thank you for being a part of our lives writing this mess of a story with us. Even though you’re more than happy just cheering us on, it’s time to take some credit, because you just wrote a success story.

Be proud of that. Graduation is more than a finish line, but a celebration of how far we’ve come.

And so, the greatest story ever told doesn’t end here.

So savour every little moment, write adventure into your story and thank the ghostwriters in your life, and maybe our stories become timeless and be told for years to come.

COVID-19 is not a reason to stop or be timid of what’s next, it’s the impetus to make something different happen, something we will generate for those before and after us.

Our voices are going to be important, and while it feels like only yesterday that we entered kindergarten, it will feel like tomorrow that we are the decision makers and leaders.

Don’t worry about next month or next year; do something today that makes you happy, confident and connected.

Before my last few words, I want to extend an enormous thank you to our teachers, our families and our communities; without your guidance, patience and care, today would be much different for all of us.

So my classmates, my friends, my teammates and my peers, we have finally reached the finish line of our high school careers.

It has been an amazing and inspiring run and I wish you all the best of luck through the new adventures that await your ambitions.

I congratulate you for staying home, staying safe and being ready to stay the course or find a new one.

City of Richmond installs photo stations for the grads of 2020 The City of Richmond has installed commemorative signs that double as photo stations around the community to congratulate the graduating class of 2020.

Grads are reminded to follow public health guidelines while taking photos such as maintaining a safe physical distance and avoiding groups of more than six people at a time.

Six photo locations have been installed to give grads a safe and fun space to take their graduation photos with their friends and families.

Commemorative grad 2020 signs have been installed at the following locations:

The signs are also part of the city’s #RichmondHasHeart campaign that has been providing ways to bring the community together during COVID-19.

Varying a Will; Parents’ moral duties to their children (revisited) Introduction In B.C., children (biological or adopted) can seek to vary their parents’ Wills, under the Wills Estates and Succession Act. For a variety of reasons, such as the increased value of real estate in B.C., there seems now to be more cases making their way through the Courts than ever.

In any given case, the Court will first consider generally whether the existing Will does not make a “fair” distribution. Then, the Court will consider whether the deceased parent owed legal duties to the child seeking the variation. A parent owes “legal” duties to minor or disabled children.

Next, the Court will consider whether the parent owed “moral” duties to the child. In my opinion, this latter consideration is an evolving area of our law, and it challenges Judges and Lawyers.

Earlier this year, a case came before the Supreme Court of B.C. called Scurek v. Scurek. Reasons were released in March. The facts of this case are, in my opinion, a model for an analysis of the moral duties a parent may owe a child.

Facts The married couple (parents) arrived in Canada from Slovenia about 1960. They had two children, now middle aged.

Their son is in a relationship and has no children of his own. Their daughter is not at present in a relationship and has two adult children.

The parents were hard working business people who owned and operated a glass factory in Richmond until they retired. They invested, accumulated assets and they involved (and benefitted) their son in most of their financial activities. Some of their assets passed to their son outside their Estate. By contrast, they did not involve their daughter in their investments.

The Mother passed in 2013. All her assets passed to the Father. He passed in 2017. His Estate was valued at approximately $1.9 million. Under his Will, the son was given half of the Estate and the daughter and her two children, the other half. The daughter challenged the Will, seemingly because of her financial circumstances.

The son was injured in a number of vehicle accidents, was cognitively challenged and unable to work any longer. However, he is financially secure, with assets valued at more than $3 million (and he has a spouse who supports him and who earns her own income). The daughter was destitute, also disabled and unable to work any longer, though she worked throughout her adult life. She had relationships but none lasted and she was single at the time of Trial.

Understandably, the daughter’s argument for a variation of her Father’s Will was need based, especially compared to her brother. As she was living in her parents’ home at the Trial, and as that would be soon sold, she needed a place to live and she had no income beyond CPP disability, which was meagre. Meanwhile, her two children were both employed, earning decent incomes and were financially stable. For her to receive a one-sixth share (about $271,000) of the Estate under the Will, did not seem fair.

In addition, in the family over the years, the Mother seemed to set the rules and “run the show” as it were. The daughter’s relationship with her Mother was poor and at times hostile. Though the Mother helped her daughter financially at times, it was always with security (such as a promissory note). On one occasion, the Mother threw her daughter out of the house for staying out late one evening. It took some time before they reconciled. Meanwhile, the parents assisted their son significantly during their lifetimes and left him financially comfortable when they died. It was clear that the parents assisted their son to a far greater degree financially, while their daughter had become destitute. The contrast was striking.

Court’s analysis In a very carefully considered, well worded judgment, the Court examined the prevailing law, including the current law relating to parents’ moral duties towards their children. The Court found no misconduct on the daughter’s part over the years. In addition, the Court found that the size of the Estate allowed both children and grandchildren to benefit well.

The Court also found that the deceased Father did not, in his Will, recognize his son’s circumstances relative to his daughter’s. His son received income from the parents’ business, as well as the benefit of their investments. He had no children, and that allowed him to accumulate assets. None of this could be said for the daughter.

The Court also held that the deceased Father could not meet his moral obligation towards his daughter by benefitting her children at her expense.

There was no benefit to the deceased’s daughter that her children were to receive a large portion of the Estate. The deceased’s grandchildren could not be expected to support their Mother. In addition, the Court found that there was no evidence that the daughter would “waste” her inheritance if she received a large portion of the Estate.

Decision The Court held that the daughter had a strong moral claim against her deceased Father. The Will was varied to give the daughter half the Estate, the son one-third, and the grandchildren one-twelfth each.

Conclusions There are occasions where parents, in their Estate plan, choose to bequeath assets to grandchildren. That may happen where their children do not need more assets or, perhaps, cannot manage money well. The mistake the deceased Father made in this case was in failing to take into account the plight of his destitute daughter, who is unable to work and who was not a “bad” daughter. It was clear that the daughter’s moral claim to a larger portion of the Estate was strong. It is unfortunate that the daughter had to involve her sons in the litigation but it was clear she needed the help a better portion of the Estate would provide, and would eliminate or reduce the potential burden on the two sons to support their Mother in the future.

Trial run for road closure Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Moncton Street in Steveston will be closed and Bayview Avenue will be one-way on Canada Day — even though the Steveston Salmon Festival is cancelled.

Richmond city council voted unanimously to try a one-day pilot project to allow more space for pedestrians and cyclists to physically distance.

Sammy the Salmon has been a familiar sight at the annual Steveston Salmon Festival, which has moved online this year. Steveston Salmon Society president Alan Sakai is encouraging people to post family celebrations on social media instead. Maria Rantanen photo

Salmon Fest celebrated virtually Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Canada Day at Home — a virtual event — will replace the normally well-attended Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1, the biggest event usually put on by the Steveston Community Society.

While organizers are disappointed they can’t create the “old-time pioneer feeling” this year in-person — including the annual parade, salmon barbecue and myriad other community activities — Alan Sakai, president of the society, said everyone understands health and safety come first.

Planning for the festival usually starts in September and includes participation from many volunteer groups, for example, the Rod & Gun Club, the judo club, the kendo club, the garden club, and a lot of the joy in the event is planning it together, he added — volunteers, youth, community members coming together to create the event.

Right now the focus is on creating an online event, inviting Richmondites to submit photos of how they are celebrating Canada Day while isolating and physically distancing, Richmond residents are encouraged to decorate their front lawns and driveways and to dress up in red and white to create a “virtual parade.” Photos from residents’ Canada Day celebrations – in their respective family bubbles — can be posted to the city’s Instagram @FunRichmond with the hashtag #RichmondBCParade.

The main goal of the Salmon Festival is to bring people together, but this year it will be done by keeping everyone apart, Sakai said.

“That’s the sign of a community when, whatever we have to do to keep everyone healthy and safe, we do it,” Sakai said.

The cancellation of a major community event and reinvention as a virtual event, though, has had its lessons for the community, Sakai said, and he’s impressed with how the community has pulled together during the pandemic.

“What it really means to be a community and cooperate together has really been tested,” Sakai said. “I think the people in Steveston have really risen to that.”

With the community centre and other public spaces shut down and many people going through hardships, Sakai said the city and citizens of Richmond have worked together, even when it means tackling the “tough stuff.”

to monitoring social media sites on the Canada Day festivities — to see what his fellow Richmondites share — and dressing up and spending the day with his family including his children and grandchildren, albeit “in a safe way.”

“I’m sure we’ll figure something out — whether we’re all on our driveway or on the street corner waving,” Sakai said.

What it really means to be a community and cooperate together has really been tested.

ALAN SAKAI

“These kinds of things happen and we have to find ways to work through them,” he added.

But the group is already planning 2021 Salmon Festival, Sakai said, which will be its 75th event. They are collecting stories and photos that people have of past festivals.

“I’m being hopeful and positive that we’ll be together in 2021,” he said.

This year, however, Sakai is looking forward

The Richmond Canada Day virtual events will also be interspersed with national events, Sakai explained, and there will be things going on from early in the morning until the evening when there will be a virtual Canada Day fireworks display.

The day will start with an online address from the city’s mayor, Malcolm Brodie, singing of O Canada led by Steveston resident Audrey De Boer and a video about the Steveston Salmon Festival starting at 9:45 a.m.

At 10 a.m., the “home parade” begins — activities on how to prepare along with a program schedule can be found at www.richmond.caéCanadaDay. At 7 p.m., there will be a Lower Mainlandwide singing of O Canada and at 10 p.m. there will be virtual fireworks.

Updates on Canada Day at Home will also be posted at @FunRichmond on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The motion was passed at Monday’s council meeting. A recent survey of merchants in Richmond showed there was some support for closing Moncton and turning Bayview Street into a one-way street during the pandemic, but merchants specifically impacted tended to not be supportive.

“It’s challenging but it’s definitely doable,” said Lloyd Bie, director of transportation with the city when asked by council whether it was possible to do the closure on such short notice.

Council also discussed future weekend closures and traffic reduction, but decided at this point to try the one-day pilot to see how it went.

In response to the survey of closing Moncton and reducing traffic on Bayview, the city received 50 responses from business operators, a response rate of about 20 per cent. The largest number of responses came from businesses on Moncton Street.

The survey showed 66 per cent were opposed to closing Moncton Street, and, while 60 per cent were in favour of turning Bayview into a one-way, three out of five businesses on the street opposed it.

Alexandra Road is considered another high-volume area because of the number of restaurants between Garden City Road and Hazelbridge Way, but at this point city staff felt there were enough setbacks to allow for expanded patios as well as retail and queuing space.

CANADA DAY

Celebrating in nature Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Fifteen years ago when Minghui Yu made the decision to leave China, Canada was not where he thought he wanted to go.

Back then, the U.S. was the place to be, according to Yu. Many people had dreams of immigrating to the States to enjoy a better education and life for themselves as well as their families, Yu added.

“Moving to Canada was still a new idea at that time. But my professors told me Canada is also an ideal place to pursue my studies and people are super friendly, so I gave it a try. I was like a pioneer compared with other people of my generation.

“But it was the right decision that I will never regret,” said Yu, who came here to pursue his bachelor and master’s degrees, and later met his other half.

He lived for the first five years in Vancouver then 10 years ago moved to Richmond — a city with which he quickly fell in love.

“I can feel the spirit of respect and kindness everywhere in Richmond; for example, the local community centres, libraries and public transportation all provide seniors and vulnerable people with easy access to elevators and wheelchair ramps.

Valerie Leung

“My dad wasn’t in good health during that time and he needed to rely on wheelchairs to travel around. So these designs helped him a lot,” said Yu.

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Singing for her graduation ceremony was one of Audrey De Boer’s biggest highlights of her graduating year, but being invited as the anthem singer for Richmond’s first virtual Canada Day celebration was an even greater surprise.

Yu recalled a time when he was studying at a well-reputed university back in China, and there was a debate about installing wheelchair ramps throughout the campus.

De Boer, a local singer and songwriter, was excited to receive the news when the city contacted her to once again sing the national anthem, except this time it would be recorded and played virtually for everyone.

The school rejected the idea, much to Yu’s frustration.

“If a person who travels by wheelchair constantly needs help from others, the person won’t feel comfortable.

“But these designs in Canada tell me no matter how rich or poor we are, everyone who lives here deserves dignity and respect,” said Yu, adding that sometimes details speak volumes.

Now, Yu enjoys spending time with his family enjoying nature.

“It’s such an extraordinary experience to sing O Canada anytime, but this Canada Day will be an unforgettable experience for sure and I’m excited to be making a point in the history books,” said De Boer.

plans to go hiking.

In order to prepare for the video of her singing the anthem, De Boer woke up early to film in order to avoid the daily traffic of people.

“My wife and daughter are going to join me to immerse ourselves in nature, in the woods. We feel lucky to live here,” said Yu.

“I have been filming at different locations of the city for the video and the City of Richmond will be doing the final job of putting it together like a montage,” explained De Boer.

CANADA DAY Audrey De Boer performed on Canada Day last year at the Steveston Salmon Festival, but, this year, she is creating a video of her singing O Canada.

the video for our graduating class that everyone gets to keep,” said De Boer, adding that it will be a “great memory to look back on.”

She told the Richmond News that she hasn’t sung for many virtual events, but her latest and most memorable experience so far is her recent performance for her graduating class’ virtual valedictorian ceremony.

“I’m used to performing my songs for YouTube videos … in a no-audience setting so it is definitely a different feeling where I have to always draw the emotions from myself rather than from those in the audience.”

She explained that singing in a live event with an audience brings “electricity

to the performance” in comparison to singing through a screen.

However, this time she feels the situation will be a bit unique and different for everyone.

“I believe singing along with a song is always about how it connects with your heart and soul, but when this particular program goes live next week, I can see people being engaged by the power of the anthem that it won’t feel like a virtual event in the moment.”

Musician finds harmony in new country Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

July 1 often means something special for immigrants who packed up the lives they had created for themselves in their homeland and came to Canada.

For Richmondite Helena He, who arrived in Richmond from Beijing, China just four months ago, Canada Day will be a special time for her to cherish the peace and love she has found since moving here.

Even with so many events cancelled due to COVID-19, He is thrilled to celebrate her very first Canada Day. “I heard about the annual fireworks display in downtown Vancouver and different dance performances. I am glad that some activities will be live-streamed online, so I can still tune in to feel the atmosphere of celebration,” said He. He was a music professor specializing in Chinese plucked string instruments before moving to Richmond.

There is always a new language to learn, culture to adapt to and a restarting of one’s career when it comes to immigration. While the process isn’t easy, He said she has still found the journey meaningful and worthwhile.

“My friends in China felt surprised after learning that I had decided to move here because I needed to leave everything behind to start a new life,” said He. Beijing has been the dream destination

for millions of Chinese people because the city combines all kinds of resources, such as the best universities, job opportunities and facilities, explained He. However, living in a place where everyone is focused on moving forward also has its challenges, and the fast pace of life sometimes made He feel lost and longing for a moment of peace.

“But now I have found what I have been looking for in Richmond,” she said.

“It was not an easy decision to make.

But living here allows me to cherish simple little things that I had always neglected before — such as the lush greenery, the clear blue sky and watching spiders weave a web hanging under the roof.”

He can’t go out very often due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but she has still met many people who are happy to help her adjust to the new life.

“My neighbours and members from the nearby church always check in with me to see if I need anything,” said He. “People are so kind and generous to each other, even during these difficult times.

“My heart is filled with gratitude and love. They taught me what it means to be a Canadian.”

To celebrate her first Canada Day, He is busy trying to use Guzheng — also known as a Chinese zither — to play O Canada.

“I believe the longer I live here, the more I will love being here.”

The Salmon Festival has been celebrated since 1946. (Above) The Cannery Princess float travels down No. 3 Road. City of Richmond Archives, photograph #1978 1 34

Salmon Fest: Did you know?

•

The Salmon Festival began as a July 1 sports daythemed event, held as a fundraiser to build a playground in Steveston Park in 1944.

•

The first Salmon Festival was held in 1946, when the sports day event added the Salmon Queen Pageant.

The queen reigned over Steveston — whose history was shaped by salmon and canneries — for one year.

•

The Salmon Queen Carnival float was part of Vancouver’s Dominion Day parade, on July 1, 1946 — the first national holiday to be celebrated after the end of the Second World War.

•

The last Salmon Queen reigned in 1986.

•

Before it was called the Steveston Salmon Festival, the event was dubbed the Richmond Salmon Queen Carnival.

•

The festival will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2021.

CANADA DAY

Celebrate with wine Tony Kwan ON WINE

I can think of no better way to celebrate Canada Day than to enjoy some Canadian wines. I went through my wine collection and found a few bottles I received from my friends. So here is how I am spending my Canada Day! I’ll start with the Gehringer 2018 Pinot Gris Private Reserve (SKU: 347203). The current vintage in liquor stores is 2019. Pinot Gris shouldn’t be aged too long but anything less than five years of aging should be fine.

Gehringer Brothers is a well-established winery located between Oliver and Osoyoos, and their Pinot Gris consistently wins various wine awards.

Whatever the vintage, you’ll get a tremendous wine for the price. Notice the subtle apple and pear flavours and aromas with citrus elements. It’s very well priced at $14.99.

Next, I’ll try the Quail’s Gate 2017 Old Vines Foch (SKU: 639625). This is another well-established Okanagan winery that has a history of consistently producing a quality red wine using Marachel Foch, which is a unique grape variety that is only grown in a few places worldwide.

It used to be prominent in B.C., until many

B.C. wineries began planting more popular grape varieties.

It is not the most well-known grape, but when I first began drinking wine, I really enjoyed B.C. Marachel Foch, so it has some sentimental value for me. Marachel Foch is characteristically very dark in colour and light in taste (almost like Pinot Noir).

It is pleasing to the eye and easy on the palate. It doesn’t develop the complexity of other popular grape varieties, but it is a great all-purpose wine that you can just pop and enjoy. It’s priced at $25.99 and is a very unique wine.

To finish, I will have the Paradise Ranch 2016 Merlot Late Harvest (SKU: 34), which is a sweet wine. The current vintage in liquor stores is 2017.

I prefer late harvest wines to icewines because late harvest wines are not as concentrated in terms of sweetness and don’t have as syrupy a texture. Because is it made with Merlot grapes, the wine is a very pleasing blush red colour.

It pairs well with desserts and fruits, and is reasonably priced at $19.99 for a 375 ml bottle.

For those of you on Instagram, I will be doing a live tasting of these wines at 5 p.m. on Canada Day on my Instagram account.

Richmondite rails at Scots ‘Clan’ clearance 1,000 years, predate the KKK by centuries.”

Alan Campbell

“The name clan comes from a Gaelic word meaning children. At their roots, the clans are extended family groups. Today, there are over 500 Scottish clans, spread around the world. Of those who report Scottish ancestry, there are about five million in Canada and six million in the USA.

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmondite who’s fiercely proud of his Scottish roots is taking aim at Simon Fraser University for once again considering erasing the name “Clan” from its sports teams.

Ian MacLeod, as you may have guessed from his surname, is from the Clan MacLeod and is a former president of the Clan MacLeod Societies of Canada and former director of the world-wide Clan MacLeod.

And he’s not best pleased at SFU’s latest review of its sporting nickname, which is meant to honour the Scottish heritage of Simon Fraser, the fur trader and explorer who the school was named after.

The trouble stems from the fact the moniker sounds like “Klan,” as in the U.S.-based, white supremacist Ku Klux Klan (KKK), which causes friction every time the SFU “Clan” teams travel south to compete against American universities.

When reaching out to the Richmond News, retired lawyer MacLeod accused SFU professor Holly Andersen — who was behind a 2017 petition to change the name and who supports the latest move — of “degrading

Ian MacLeod (left), with his daughter and granddaughter, ahead of a Robbie Burns event in 2018. File photo Scottish history and the clans.”

“Yet again…Andersen is trying expunge the name ‘Clan.’ In the process, in spite of her denials, she is insulting over 1,000 years of Scottish culture and history; likewise with some Indigenous groups, who also have clans,” said MacLeod, who used to MC the annual Robbie Burns Suppers in Richmond before ill health.

“I object, strongly, on at least six levels.”

Firstly, MacLeod said the Scottish clans, with a “long and mostly honourable history of over

“On the other hand, the KKK was first created in the U.S. in 1865 (and closed and then recreated in 1915 and again in 1946). They are a minority, white supremacist group. They have maybe 15,000 members, so are really a fringe group of racist bigots.

“A fringe group should not be overriding the ancient and honourable history of the Scottish clans.”

Given the present context of riots and racial unrest sweeping across North America, MacLeod said he “fully supports the goals and aspirations” of Black Lives Matter.

“But you will never be able to honour the (admittedly marginalized) Black and other minority communities by willfully insulting another group of people, in this case, the many Scottish clans,” added MacLeod.

As a fifth generation Canadian, whose Scottish ancestors came to Canada between 1810 and 1860, MacLeod said neither he,

nor SFU, should be hiding their heritage because a “relatively new fringe uses a name that, in part, sounds like ‘Clan.’”

“It is disingenuous to attack the clan name because it looks or sounds like something totally unrelated,” he added.

A recent SFU survey showed a majority the student athletes support a move to drop the Clan as the name for their sports teams.

A statement sent from SFU to the News recognized that there are “many different perspectives and opinions about the Clan athletics team nickname, which honours indigenous Scottish traditions.

“SFU athletes compete in the United States as Canada’s only NCAA team, and we are aware that some have mistakenly made associations between our Scottish nickname and the Ku Klux Klan.

“The university is deeply troubled by and attentive to the emotions and concerns to which these associations have given rise, particularly in light of our revulsion to and condemnation of anti-Black racism.

“A review process has been underway for several months within the university to provide the basis for a decision...”

Girls soccer club opens to all genders “It was to provide an environment committed to inclusiveness really. One that welcomes all players of abilities and identities.

Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Richmond Girls Soccer Association (RGSA) is no more and will soon step out of its 46-year-old skin with a new name and constitution which welcomes all genders and identities.

The amateur soccer club held a virtual EGM (extraordinary general meeting) Monday evening to herald a new dawn which will see the organization open its doors beyond its previously female-only membership.

Although it’s not official, the Richmond News understands the club’s new name will be “Richmond United,” with the legalities still to be finalized.

The club’s acting president, Marty Mueller, told the News that this was a “pretty exciting time” for the organization and “an exciting time for soccer in Richmond.”

Asked about the club opening its doors to male players and teams, as well as female, Mueller said the “purpose was a little bit deeper than that.”

“There’s been talk for a long time and we’re open to continue to talk,” said Muller, when asked about previous merger conversations.

“It’s always an open door.”

“When you’re called Richmond Girls, that’s pretty gender specific. (The inclusiveness) was the main motivation behind the change.”

Suggestions of competing clubs and mergers aside, Mueller said the new club is eager to bring in “all kids, all cultures and all identities to play soccer.

Mueller said the RSGA board had been talking about the change for more than a year.

“I’m very proud of the board of directors, as we’ve worked very hard on this,” said Mueller, adding that the official release of the new name and constitution should come out “any day.”

The sea change in focus would now appear to put the club in direct competition with Richmond FC, a previously boys-only environment which started offering girls programs earlier this year.

However, Mueller said that is not the focus of his organization, saying only that the aforementioned “inclusivity” was top of their agenda.

“We’ve been fielding questions from parents that their kids don’t fit into pigeon hole genders and they’re asking, ‘what do you

“I think we’re on the cutting edge of that right now in Richmond and I’m really proud of that.”

Richmond Girls Soccer Association held a virtual EGM Monday evening to make massive changes to their organization. File photo have for my child?’ explained Mueller.

He is serving as new head of coaching and education where he’s mentoring club coaching staff and helping to design the women’s program.

The News understands there had been talks recently between the two organizations about a possible merger, without anything coming to fruition.

For decades, the world of minor hockey in Richmond had two competing organizations — Richmond Minor and Seafair — until they merged in 2018 to form Richmond Jets.

COMMUNITY Crime down during COVID-19 Except for an uptick in fires early in the COVID-19 pandemic, calls to emergency services have been down in the City of Richmond during the first five months of the year, especially residential break-ins and auto theft.

Commercial break-ins have continued to plague the city at about the same rate as earlier in the year, with the RCMP recording 32 in January, down slightly to 27 in May. In April, there was a significant increase in fires in Richmond — 44 in 2020 compared to 31 in April 2019 — but that number dropped to 36 in May, five per cent fewer than in the same month in 2019.

There were 47 break-ins in Richmond in January and 55 in February, but this number dropped to 15 in May. Auto theft has plummeted from a high of 30 in January to only two in May.

FODCHUK, Dymytry John November 7, 1929 - June 15, 2020 Dymytry (Jim) passed away after a brief battle from complications of cancer. His son, Greg Fodchuk was at his side as he peacefully passed. Predeceased by his parents Anna (1962) and John Fodchuk (1977), his sisters, Usteen Fodchuk (1964), Mary J. Batten, Chief Justice (ret) (2015), former spouse, Hilda May Fodchuk (2004), his niece Justine J. E. Batten (2017).

Chong, Tai Hong July 6, 1924 - June 16, 2020 With great sadness, we announce the passing of an amazingly strong woman who was our mother, grandmother (婆婆 po po) and great grandmother (阿白 a bak). Born in Guangdong, China, she and her young daughter Toy immigrated in 1954 to join her husband Chong Kwong Shang, who predeceased her in 1961.

Determined to give her three young children all the opportunities "Gold Mountain" had to offer, the young widow continued her job at B.C. Packers and started labouring at Lum Poy's farm on evenings and weekends.

In time, she was able to purchase the farmland on Steveston Hwy, where her strong work ethic and sharp business skills earned her the respectful nickname "Mama Chong" throughout the local farming community. She was dedicated to her farm and her family and continued to be involved with her greenhouse operations until March 2020.

Tai Hong was predeceased by her son Donald in 1957. She is survived by her children, Toy (Brian), Richard (Donna), Jack (Kelly), grandchildren Amber, Adam (Ashley), Kat, Jessica, Meaghan (Christopher), great grandchildren Cole, Evan, Keira, Haylee, Adelyn, Kayden and many friends and family, too many to mention but not forgotten.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be a private family only service on July 10 at 12:30 pm. Glenhaven Memorial Chapel will webcast the service. Please, no flowers, instead make a donation to Richmond Hospital Foundation or charity of your choice.

Dymytry will be sadly missed by his daughter Maureen, son Greg (Mari), grandchildren Karina (Xie Wen Kai), Michael, great grandson Kyler, extended family, many dear lifelong friends and especially his wonderful neighbours Cecilia and Mike, Manel and Eddie.

Jim, born in Calder, Saskatchewan, travelled to the West Coast as a teenager and enlisted in the Canadian Army, with the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment (2PPCLI), fighting in the Korean War (1950-53). He returned to Canada and over the next 32 years, built a flourishing women’s apparel business (Hilda’s Apparel Ltd.,) with his wife, Hilda in Richmond, BC. Some of his fondest memories were with his 2 best friends, Al Kronier and Ron Carlisle, fishing and hunting. Jim also spent many memorable years as a member of the Point Grey Golf & Country Club. He was generous, with a larger than life personality, enthusiastically sharing his interests in gardening, photography, tennis, golf, Bonsai trees, Haiku poems, good scotch and anything chocolate.

A Celebration of Life in Vancouver, will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, or donations, Dad would be most fondly remembered by planting his favourite Calla Lilies, in your garden.

Condolences may be offered to the family at www.kearneyfs.com Kearney Funeral Services Vancouver 604-736-0268
