Au praises Canada’s No simple solution to stance against CPC ‘crisis’ of two Michaels Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

The old adage “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” comes to mind when discussing the current “hostage” situation involving China’s Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and Canada’s Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

I support the Government of Canada’s actions taken on July 3, 2020, in response to the People’s Republic of China’s imposition of The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, referred to as the National Security Law. The measures taken by the Government of Canada are in line with Canada’s values and the expectations of Canadians.

Canada is a country that advocates democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law. It has the moral obligation to support Hong Kong people and, especially, Canadians in Hong Kong, when the National Security Law threatens their freedom and human rights.

The government of the People’s Republic of China has unilaterally imposed the National Security Law, despite strong opposition from the international community.

Indeed, the Hong Kong people were excluded from the process of making the National Security Law, and the definition of the crimes con-

The National Security Law has also weakened the judiciary by giving too much power to The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People’s Government (Articles 52 to 57) and ultimately hurting the “One Country, Two Systems” principle agreed to in the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

Coun. Chak Au RICHMOND

Kovrig and Spavor have been detained in China since 2018, and their release is increasingly improbable given Beijing’s ruling to indict them on the alleged crime of espionage, with little evidence to suggest that they are, indeed, culpable. The more likely evidence-based explanation for their detainment is that Beijing is playing politics and engaging in hostage negotiations to get Wanzhou back.

On the one side, we have 19 prominent Canadians, including former parliamentarians and senior diplomats, calling on the Canadian Minister of Justice to end the extradition proceeding against Wanzhou to secure the release of the two Michaels. On the other hand, we have 30 Canadian

defence and national security experts who signed an open letter urging the prime minister to stand firm and not to engage in hostage diplomacy. It is a modern-day case of Homeric proportions, with the Canadian government being caught between Scylla and Charybdis.

Many Canadians concur with the prime minister, that it would be disastrous to engage in hostage diplomacy with China, arguing that the best response is to levy sanctions against the Communist Party of China officials using the Sergei Magnitsky Law. Undoubtedly, it is an arduous decision with both sides expressing valid points and, ultimately, everyone empathizes with the two Michaels and their families.

It appears that Canada is experiencing a moral crisis of what to do, and a simple solution does not seem likely. What is required to fix this issue is a hard and earnest look at Canada’s relationship with China.

Increasing globalization and trade relationships with China

have not brought the democratic reforms our politicians and business leaders had hoped.

It is exceedingly unlikely China will miraculously abide by international law concerning human rights while under an autocratic, totalitarian regime.

One thing seems abundantly clear — many Canadian politicians have been reticent to criticize China. The pursuit of trade agreements and corporate profits supersede truth, justice and human rights. And now, it has come back to bite us squarely in the backside.

Perhaps it is time for the Canadian government to admit that reforms are not happening in China despite the signing of a free trade agreement and to look for trade partners elsewhere. The opportunities for new trade partners are limitless; we just have to be willing to admit that China is not going to change and work through some growing pains for a better, safer and more just future.

LNG expansion reckless Reader calls out Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

I am writing about the public consultation around the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion project on the Fraser River that few people know about.

I live on an island (Lulu Island) surrounded by the Fraser River, downstream from the proposed Tilbury Expansion project and stand to lose everything in the case of a disaster. There are no guarantees that one won’t happen as we live in a high-risk area to earthquakes, tsunamis, liquefaction and flooding and going forward with this project is nothing short of irresponsible and downright dangerous.

Expanding an LNG plant where there is already significant marine traffic, fragile marine species and located very near the third busiest international airport in Canada and a densely populated community is extremely risky.

There are Indigenous people that have depended on the salmon runs for thousands of years and local fishing communities that are at risk.

The whole process from extraction, transporting, processing, shipping and ultimately using this greenhouse gas has no climate benefits and ultimately lines the pockets of only a few, leaving the rest of us to deal with the costs as taxpayers for building infrastructure, of environmental devastation and, in the end, for the cleanup of an industry that should be replaced by clean energy projects like wind and solar power.

The risks of this project far outweigh any potential benefits.

Under no circumstance should this project be able to pass an environmental assessment.

Robert Kaye RICHMOND

Re: “LNG expansion defended,” Letters, July 2.

I must commend the FortisBC staff person who wrote to defend an expansion of the Tilbury LNG plant. His defence highlights the supposed “green”-ness of liquefied natural gas (LNG) while ignoring how LNG is actually procured through fracking.

Fracking is the “process of injecting water at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open existing fissures and extract gas.”

Using tons and tons of clean water to bring gas to market? How is this green?

The Tilbury expansion project is unsafe and unhealthy for the people living nearby as well as the salmon and other living things in the Fraser River.

There is enough traffic on the Fraser without adding huge LNG tankers that

would have to turn around in a congested space. And it would be right across the river from the jet fuel storage facility. The potential for a devastating fireball explosion in the river and kilometres beyond (Silvercity and where I live in the ALR) is too horrible to contemplate.

If that is not enough, there is actually no good economic case for LNG. There is a glut on the worldwide market and it costs more to produce it than it can be sold for. And the Tilbury expansion would produce more pollution than B.C. could mitigate in order to reach its climate change targets. This is the worst fossil fuel project ever.

It does not succeed on safety, health, economic and environmental fronts.

Tilbury and B.C. should be gearing down from fossil fuel, not increasing its use.

for CERB help Dear Editor,

I’m a totally blind and partially deaf martial arts instructor in Richmond. On June 11, I attempted to apply for Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and was told that I needed to wait to be validated and that it would take roughly five days to hear back from an agent.

A week later, I called again, and was told that they were working on the calls from June 10 and should get to me that day or next day at the latest.

Another week went by, still nothing and I called them again and this time was told that I should’ve heard back from them long ago and it’s strange that I didn’t. The agent then said she sent an email through to get them to call me “later today.”

When days went by and no phone call was received, I once again called them on June 30, and this time the agent told me they’re working on calls from the week of June 8 and the previous agent was in error, I was told again to expect a call back that day.

I called them again today, July 2, and now I’m being told that they have no clue as to when I’ll get a call back.

Being a disabled person and with the current fear and social distancing, I can’t just walk into the food bank or soup kitchen like anyone else if food runs out — and it is getting a bit close for comfort.

I decided to write in, in the hope that some help can be had.

New hospital tower to double capacity Millions more to be spent on renos Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A new nine-floor acute care tower at Richmond Hospital will be larger than envisioned two years ago, with several hundred million dollars added to the original budget, Premier John Horgan announced last week.

It will include a “right-sized” emergency department — which sees about 60,000 patients a year — a pharmacy and expanded pediatric and mental-health services, Horgan explained at a press conference July 2.

However, when asked by the Richmond News, Minister of Health Adrian Dix wouldn’t divulge the total cost of the new hospital tower, saying that will be announced in September.

Nelson Kwan, chair of the Richmond Hospital Foundation, and Natalie Meixner, foundation CEO, were at the announcement of more money being poured into the hospital.

Johal said. “So the announcements government makes for infrastructure, for hospitals, for schools, roads and bridges, it’s going to be a challenge to finance all of them and especially to stay on the timeline they’re hoping to stay on.

“I’m happy this (hospital) announcement was made, but I think it’s important the community remain vigilant and make sure that government stays true to its commitment and timetable,” he added.

Thursday’s announcement also provided more details about the new tower being planned with double the space in the emergency department — which will include a larger intensive care unit, a medical imaging department and a pharmacy. There will also be a new in-patient psychiatric emergency unit.

This was a concern for BC Liberal RichmondQueensborough MLA Jas Johal who said the Richmond community needs to be “vigilant” in holding the government accountable to its hospital commitment, adding that if the hospital cost is not listed in the government’s budget, Thursday’s announcement “was just a press release.”

“During the business planning stage, it became clear that the fast-growing community of Richmond needs a bigger patient care tower with more services,” said Dix in a press release.

“Government revenue has fallen off a cliff,”

After this, there will be a call for bids — the

The tower was originally announced two years ago, and the business case and final budget is expected in September.

new tower is expected to be built by 2024 or 2025.

The new tower will be named the Yurkovich Family Pavilion — Dr. Tony Yurkovich worked at the hospital for 40 years as did his wife Nancy Yurkovich — after which the family made a sizable donation to the Richmond Hospital Foundation.

Nelson Kwan, chair of the foundation board, pointed out the need for a new hospital has been on the foundation’s radar for more than a decade as Richmond has been growing and its population aging. Furthermore, the hospital serves the airport, Ladner,

Delta and south Vancouver, he added.

“The need is going to get more and more dire,” Kwan said.

The Richmond Hospital Foundation has raised 88 per cent of its goal of $50 million for the new tower.

Currently the hospital tower has 108 beds — this will eventually be demolished and the new one will have 220 beds in single-occupancy rooms.

The newer section of the hospital will be kept and there will be a connecting corridor between it and the new south tower.

Ad boycott or support draws query Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

One Richmond MLA is boycotting Facebook in July to protest how the social media giant handles misinformation and hate speech, but he has also paid for advertising in the conservative Christian Light Magazine.

Richmond-Queensborough MLA Jas Johal’s constituency office expenses show an invoice for $1,428 from Light Christian Media that publishes the magazine, dated November 2019.

Johal explained it was for an ad to wish the Christian community merry Christmas, but he wasn’t aware of the contents of the magazine. Furthermore, the ad was split among more than a dozen MLAs and his portion was about $100, he added.

Johal pointed out he advertises in many publications and to different ethnic and cultural groups.

The bill was part of the 2019 fourth quarter constituency office expense reports.

There are receipts for other publications including the Richmond News, Sing Tao and the Jewish Independent.

On average, Johal said his office spends $500 to $600 per month on Facebook ads to reach both English and Chinese speaking audiences.

The magazine is known as a fundamentalist Christian publication and its articles include a piece by Laura-Lynne Tyler Thompson who writes against Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policies and another questioning how a bill against conversion therapy will affect pastoring (at lightmagazine.ca).

As a former journalist who worked in the industry for 23 years, Johal said he supports free speech, but more needs to be done when a platform is “used to promote racism, antisemitism and violence.”

Johal said homophobic views are against his values and he shows this by, for example, attending pride parades in Vancouver and Victoria.

He won’t be posting on Twitter or Instagram either during the month of July.

“We need to clean up our digital and social media ecosystem, and it can’t happen until we all do our part,” he added.

“They (the magazine) don’t reflect my values, they don’t reflect the (BC Liberal) leader’s values, they don’t reflect the party’s values,” he said.

In fact, he added, he has taken a stand as an MLA against hate by joining the #StopHateForProfit campaign, boycotting Facebook for the month of July.

Johal said the social media platform, that generated $69 billion in 2019, has not done enough to “combat racist, false and dangerous content” nor has it been effective in getting white supremacists off its platform.

“Today I join like-minded individuals, organizations, and businesses in asking Facebook and all major social media sites to strengthen their content moderation poli-

“I do not believe my actions alone will change the world, but I do believe if we all collectively try, change will come.”

Richmond-Queensborough MLA Jas Johal File photo cies and rigorously enforce them,” he wrote in a message on the social media platform.

His constituency office will not be advertising on the platform for the month of July as part of the #StopHateForProfit campaign, something that is being done by more than 100 other advertisers, for example, Ford, Adidas and North Face.

The Stop Hate for Profit campaign was started by six American organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Free Press, demanding Facebook take measures to combat hate speech on their platform.

They are calling for Facebook to have independent audits of identity-based hate and misinformation, to remove private groups focused on hate, for example, white supremacy, to create mechanisms to flag hateful content and to have a live employee

Close contact nets $125 fine

A game of basketball has netted the organizer the first ticket in Richmond for breaking physical distancing rules.

A fine of $125 to $175 — depending on when it’s paid — was given to a man at an organized game of basketball at a city community recreation centre.

Community ambassadors gave repeated reminders to the man to stop playing, but these were ignored and a bylaw officer was brought in to issue the ticket. Playing an organized game of basketball was against parks COVID19-related policies and guidelines.

While city spokesperson Clay Adams said Richmond is committed to enforcing rules and guidelines, that isn’t the first approach.

“Our approach is always try to educate and inform through discussion rather than fines,” Adams explained.

“The issuing of a ticket is truly a last resort.”

The city implemented the Community Ambassador program a few weeks ago to remind people to stay physically distanced.

The ticket was given out just before Canada Day, when city staff were reminding Richmondites to stay physically distanced and not gather in large groups in public areas.

“Community ambassadors will, again, be active and visible across Richmond to remind people to have fun, enjoy the community, but to be safe and respectful while doing so,” Adams said.

$80K of vintage whiskey snatched KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

CCTV footage of suspect.

Two bottles of rare whiskey worth thousands of dollars were “brazenly” stolen from a Richmond liquor store last month.

Just after 7.30 p.m. on June 27, a man allegedly walked into the Brighouse B.C. Liquor Store — at No. 3 and Ackroyd roads — smashed a locked glass case and stole two bottles of Dalmore Constellation whiskey, a spokesperson for Richmond RCMP told the Richmond News.

“For somebody to just walk right in the store when it’s open, to smash the case, take two bottles and walk straight back out again is pretty brazen,” said the spokesperson.

One of the stolen bottles of the single malt whiskey was a 1966 vintage and the second one is a 1969 vintage.

stolen bottles is over $80,000, and they are believed to be the last two bottles of that whiskey in B.C., according to RCMP. The suspect, captured on CCTV video in the store, is described as Caucasian, in his mid-20s with a slim build, wearing a black hoodie, camo-print long shorts and a surgical mask.

Police say he was seen leaving in what they believe to be a Dodge black pickup truck.

Anyone with information or possible dash-cam footage is asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file 2020-17607.

After a quiet, rainy Canada Day when some streets in Steveston had reduced access for cars — a move endorsed by council — council asked city staff to continue monitoring the situation, rather than reduce traffic again.

However, Greene and Coun. Bill McNulty both reiterated the dangers of allowing people to gather in groups in the popular neighbourhood that becomes especially busy on sunny days.

Greene reported seeing a dozen people congregated waiting for pizza and others walking around in close proximity, despite warnings from provincial health officials to stay at least six feet apart because of the pandemic.

While he said Richmond wants tourists “in a normal time,” now it’s too much, for example, during prawn sales, he saw people standing “shoulder to shoulder.”

“When people get to Steveston, they forget there’s a pandemic,” McNulty said.

The suggestion to close Moncton Street and turning Bayview Street into a one-way was opposed by several businesses.

Council opposes Tilbury LNG expansion Public consultation is open until July 16 for FortisBC project on the Fraser River Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city council is taking a stand against the expansion of the Tilbury liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant — located across the Fraser River in Delta.

They voted 8-1 to send a clear message to senior levels of government that the expansion by FortisBC isn’t welcome in their backyard, citing risks to the Fraser River, wildlife and air — a list of concerns were compiled

by Richmond city staff.

At Monday’s committee meeting, only Coun.

Alexa Loo opposed the endorsement of staff’s report — to be forwarded to provincial and federal environmental assessment agencies — and a motion to state council opposed the expansion.

Referring to an LNG plant in Boston where, when a vessel goes in and out of the plant, the bridges are closed and police and the army guard the roads, Coun. Harold Steves, asked staff to add concerns around breaches at the Tilbury plant.

“That’s why in the United States they don’t recommend having LNG anywhere near

where people are living,” he said. “Their concern is terrorists or crackpots that might try to drop a bomb or put a bomb under the hull or drop one off the bridge,” Steves said.

Coun. Kelly Greene noted the project is double the size of Woodfibre LNG in Squamish, and that the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators recommends a 3,500-metre hazard zone around the shipping route and terminal.

“This is the wrong project for here,” she said.

Coun. Carol Day also suggested a meeting between council and federal and provincial environment ministers to explain council’s opposition.

The public can comment on the project until midnight July 16 at iaac-aeic.gc.ca. These comments will go both to federal and B.C. environmental ministries.

This project does not align with local, provincial (or) national strategies to reduce green house gas emissions.

Richmond.

LNG is natural gas — largely methane — that is compressed by reducing its temperature to -162 degrees Celsius so that it can be stored and transported in a liquid form.

The upgrade to the LNG plant is planned to begin within two years and it will include a new storage tank and marine jetty.

FortisBC is also pursuing an environmental assessment to access offshore markets by 2028.

LNG is stored in sealed double-walled containers that prevent oxygen from entering and igniting the fuel, Finke said, adding any leak of LNG would just turn into a vapour that would dissipate into the air, he added.

The report also raises concerns about the proposed volumes of LNG — this expansion would allow for a capacity of 163,000 cubic metres of LNG, an increase of more than 50 per cent from its current capacity.

Finke said LNG is one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels, with 21 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than other marine fuels currently being used.

“At the site itself, as we transport LNG, safety is paramount (with) many, many safety considerations at play,” Finke said.

Light, noise and atmospheric pollution from the expanded plant are also a concern for local wildlife and the community, the report explains; furthermore, the expansion adds to the industrialization of the Fraser River estuary and its ecosystem.

“This project does not align with local, provincial (or) national strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce B.C.’s economic reliance on fossil fuels,” the city staff report states.

Top 100 companies pay 50% of biz taxes

WE ARE NOW OPEN

mond in 2020 is budgeted at $239 million.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Even with an average reduction of $7,700 in taxes as relief because of COVID-19, commercial properties still pay almost 43 per cent of all taxes in the city, despite totalling just 9.25 per cent of all properties.

And the top 100 commercial properties pay half of all commercial taxes to the city, $51 million out of the almost $100 million.

On top of that, the municipality collects about 50 per cent more in taxes and levies on behalf of other agencies, like Metro Vancouver and TransLink.

A memo to Richmond council on the revised tax roll for 2020 — outlining the top 100 businesses and what they pay in taxes — showed commercial properties in total, of which there were 7,878, contributed almost $100 million in municipal taxes, and paid about $150 million when other municipally collected taxes were added.

Taxation revenues of all properties in Rich-

The provincial government reduced school taxes for commercial properties to provide relief during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic slowdown, resulting in a tax reduction of about 25 per cent.

The top commercial taxpayer in Richmond is the airport, paying about $6.3 million to the city. The second highest was the Port Authority, whose tax bill to the city is $4.9 million. The third is Richmond Centre at $2.4 million and the fourth, Lansdowne at about $1.9 million.

Coun. Michael Wolfe pointed out the city has a strategy to encourage a resilient economy and diversification of the economic base, but, he added, the list of 100 top commercial properties is a “big long list of a bunch of numbered companies.”

“It doesn’t tell us much about the diversity of our businesses,” he said.

Of the top 100 commercial properties listed, 16 are either numbered companies or holding companies, including the Richmond Centre property.

Support earmarked for business Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s Economic Development Office (EDO) has implemented several initiatives to help support businesses impacted by COVID-19.

First Class Free Club Pilates Ironwood 110 - 11380 Steveston Highway Richmond, BC V7A 5J5 +1 (604) 332-3288 Ironwood@clubpilates.com

Resources for businesses owners and workers, including a support centre, a job board for displaced workers and a list of locally made personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers are now available or underway.

The city is also partnering with Tourism

Richmond and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce to showcase local businesses through WeAreRichmondBC.ca.

These initiatives are part of June’s Economic Response and Recovery Report and were shared at Monday’s council meeting.

Meanwhile, the city has reduced the municipal tax increase from 4.98 per cent to 2.97 per cent and extended the tax penalty due date to Sept. 30.

Patio expansion application processes will be expedited and fire and life safety inspections for businesses re-opening will be prioritized.

Wang’s parents speak out

Richmondites took to the streets Saturday in support of Mona Wang, a UBC Okanagan student who was shown in a video to be dragged and stepped on by an RCMP officer during a wellness check. Protesters also called for an end to police brutality.

Rally held for Mona Wang Nono Shen/Kirsten Clarke EDITOR@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Chants of “Justice for Mona Wang” filled Richmond city centre Saturday afternoon as dozens of residents took to the streets in support of a B.C. nursing student and to protest police brutality.

“It’s time for a change, and what happened to Mona Wang shouldn’t happen again,” said Yoshier Hu, who attended the rally.

A surveillance video released late last month shows RCMP officer Lacey Browning in Kelowna dragging Mona Wang — a nursing student at UBC Okanagan — down a hallway and stepping on her head, during a wellness check at her apartment in January.

Hu said she felt “heartbroken” watching that footage.

“The pain and trauma Mona experienced impacts the whole community.

We hope to see the police paired with health professionals or social workers during future mental wellness checks,” said Hu. “It’s time for the police to be under

the supervision of a locally elected board and police officers should wear bodycams...When the police function without accountability, transparency and respect, the most vulnerable suffer,” reads a media release handed out at the rally.

The rally began at 1 p.m. at Brighouse Park, and protesters marched down No. 3 Road before heading back to Richmond Public Library’s Brighouse Branch.

Richmond city Coun. Chak Au — who was at the rally and held a sign reading “support the victims, amend the mental health act” — said wellness calls should be left to healthcare professionals.

“The police aren’t the most ideal or appropriate people to handle mental health crises, we should leave these to our health professionals,” he said.

Au said British Columbians should urge the provincial government to amend its Mental Health Act, which requires police to conduct wellness checks.

“In terms of this tragic incident, it’s not just hurting the local Asian community, it actually hurts all vulnerable individuals,” said Au.

During a news conference about the incident June 2, chief supt. Brad Haugli of B.C. RCMP’s southeast district, said the current policy around wellness checks needs to change.

“My vision would be that there would be a nurse accompanying every police officer to every mental health call,” he said.

Haugli has also apologized to Wang.

“When I first saw the video, [I was] deeply concerned. I’m very sorry to Ms. Wang for what occurred. If that was my family member or friend I would have deep concerns and want answers as well.”

More rallies are being planned for Saturday, July 11, in Richmond, Vancouver, Surrey and Kelowna.

“Show your support and protest for better wellness checks and accountability for police misconduct,” reads a notice for the planned event.

The Richmond protest will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Minoru Park.

In addition, a change.org petition calling for Browning to be fired and charged with assualt has accumulated over 350,000 signatures as of July 5.

The parents of Mona Wang, a UBC Okanagan nursing student who was seen in a video being dragged and stepped on by a police officer during a wellness check, shared an open letter on social media recently demanding that the officer “pay the price for her excessive use of violence.”

“We felt extremely shocked, sad and angry following the incident. What we were looking for was help from the police, instead of further harm and humiliation. Mental illness is like any other medical illness, which shouldn’t be treated with discrimination and abuse,” read a Chinese statement provided

by Wang’s mother Li Yan and her husband, and posted on WeChat.

“Mona is now lawyered up and has launched a civil suit against officer Lacey Browning, which will require (the Kelowna RCMP officer) to be responsible for her actions and pay the price for abusive use of violence,” the letter continues.

In a video that surfaced on June 23, it appears Wang, 20, was dragged down the hallway of her residence and stepped on the head by Browning during a wellness check. As a result, protests were held last weekend in Richmond. Another protest is being planned for Richmond and across B.C. this Saturday to support Wang and call for an end to police brutality.

The statement issued by Wang’s parents explained their family lives in Vancouver. They immigrated to Canada as skilled workers in 2005 when Wang was only five years old.

Wang’s parents said since immigrating they have been working hard, paying taxes, obeying Canadian laws and raising kids, one of which is Wang, whom they describe in their letter as a “very gentle and kind child.” She was accepted into UBC’s School of Nursing due to her excellent grades, the letter adds.

“Unfortunately, Mona had a panic attack in January this year due to academic pressure, so she took too much Tylenol and Melatonin to commit suicide. Her boyfriend grew concerned and called emergency asking for someone to check on her when she stopped responding to his texts. Officer Lacey Browning arrived on the scene alone,” reads the letter.

Wang’s parents allege that Browning used excessive force, stepping on her arms with her boots, kicking her stomach and leaving her with bruises all over her body and bleeding eyes.

“Mona has suffered tremendous trauma and pain both physically and mentally, she had to stay in the hospital for three days,” said the letter.

Li Yan will appear at a “Justice for Mona Wang” rally on July 11 in Vancouver. Rallies will also be held in Richmond, Kelowna and Surrey that same day.

Meanwhile, Browning has been placed on administrative leave and is facing a code of conduct investigation.

Hong Kong law impacts us all Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM Posting a sticky note in support of Hong Kong protestors on the Lennon Wall that was erected at the Aberdeen Canada Line Station last year could be enough to get you imprisoned in China, now that China’s new Hong Kong national security law has come into effect, according to Richmond-based activist Bill Chu. “It should be no surprise that (China is) using broad and unclear terms like ‘undermining’ as in (Article 22),” said Chu. “The intent (of the law) is to cast a big net so as to incriminate or threaten to incriminate not just international students, but anyone in Richmond and beyond.”

Chu is a member of, and spokesperson for, the Group of Concerned Chinese-Canadians, who issued a joint statement earlier this week in response to China passing its new national security law in Hong Kong.

“While the world is so busy fighting COVID-19, (China) secretly and quietly introduced this law, that infringes on human rights, not just local Hong Kong people, but people like yourself and me, and that’s totally unacceptable,” said Chu. Because Canada does not have anti-foreign influence laws like Australia, he added, “it is easy for (China) to indirectly

monitor people or institutions here.”

criticize the government.

In its statement, the group says the Chinese government argues that national security is a “greater priority” than maintaining the “one country, two systems” principle, “and since democratic countries also have national security laws, they don’t have the right to interfere in China’s internal need for the same.”

For example, the Hong Kong government issued a statement last week saying the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time,” widely used during protests, is now illegal under the new security law as it has separatist connotations.

However, it’s a false comparison, said Chu, because the new Chinese law defines subversion as things such as freedom of expression or holding rallies and peaceful protests to

Already, some independent media outlets in Hong Kong — which use YouTube or other social media platforms to share their observations on the situation in the region — are shutting down because of the law.

“They realize that this is going to impact them with a heavy cost, meaning that they are exposing themselves to arrest, secret trial without jury and indefinite imprisonment,” said Chu.” China, he said, is simply working to protect its own political position by suppressing any dissent through the new legislation.

“The whole idea of a national security law is a false pretense, meaning that in actual fact all it’s really trying to protect is the security of that one party.”

And the law, which uses broad or vague wording, could apply to Canadians. For example, Article 38 states that the law applies to offences committed outside of Hong Kong, by people who are not permanent residents of the Hong Kong region.

“If you look at the wording in Article 38, it includes people like you, yourself…by us having this conversation, you are as guilty as myself in terms of their definition of subversion.”

Ottawa responds to security law Chu said Canada’s announcement July 3 to suspend its extradition treaty with Hong Kong, in light of the new law, is a good step.

“The last thing you want is Canadians here being extradited to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong, taken to China.

They would end up like the two Michaels.”

The federal government also announced that it will no longer permit the export of military equipment to Hong Kong, and would be treating exports of sensitive goods to the region in the same way as those headed to China.

However, the Group of Concerned Chinese-Canadians is also calling for Canada to develop a “comprehensive strategic policy towards China.”

For example, Australia passed legislation in 2018 that targets foreign interference in politics and other domestic affairs, as well as espionage. And, in June, Australia announced it would be revamping its foreign investment laws.

As well, Chu’s group would like the Canadian government to extend assistance — including asylum — to Hong Kong pro-democracy activists; take “strong actions” to repatriate the two Michaels without engaging in hostage diplomacy; and take “punitive actions against the Chinese and Hong Kong government officials…who have committed human rights abuses.”

Fraser River | Blake Jorgenson

Wedged between the Coast Mountains and the Rockies, BC’s interior puts you at a crossroads of sweeping ranchlands, grassy vistas, and golden plateaus. And that’s just the landscape. There is a rich history here, too, from the Indigenous peoples whose stories, traditions, and stewardship of the land span millennia, to the ranchers, gold prospectors, and adventurers who braved unknown wilderness to traverse rough terrain and uncharted waterways.

Challenge yourself to try something new and experience some of BC’s history this summer through guest ranch stays, cultural tours, museum visits, guided trips into the backcountry, and more.

Eagle Creek | Blake Jorgenson

Stay at a Guest Ranch If you’ve dreamed of long trail rides through peaceful pastures and into meadows bursting with wildflowers, consider a stay at one of BC’s many guest ranches, most of which are found in the Cariboo and Chilcotin. The quintessential guest ranch experience is, of course, riding the range, but when you need a break from the saddle, the possibilities are many. Whether you’re looking for a true cowboy experience (think: corralling livestock or mucking out stalls) or something a little less rugged (a day at the onsite spa, anyone?), you’ll find freedom and adventure in the wide-open spaces.

Cast a line in calm lakes and fast-moving rivers, hike into the mountains for expansive views, or stick close to the ranch—and to the cowboy theme—with wagon rides, lasso throwing, and, of course, tall tales around a campfire under a clear, starry sky.

Barkerville

Drive Through Historic Gold Rush Country Follow in the footsteps of 1860s Gold Rush prospectors and see how the mighty Fraser River shaped life in these parts. From Kamloops, head west toward Lillooet and “Mile 0” of the historic Cariboo Waggon Road. Visit sites ranging from preserved road houses to ghost towns and connect with locals in small towns along the way. Travel as far as Barkerville Historic Town, which brings this era to life with a restored townsite and costumed interpreters, and en route discover a vital Indigenous culture that dates back thousands of years.

Find Adventure in the Wild With wide-open spaces come wide-open opportunities for adventure. The lakes and rivers of BC’s Interior beckon with more places to fish than you can experience in a lifetime. There are calm waters for paddling—including multi-day wilderness canoe routes—and there are stretches of thrilling whitewater for adrenaline junkies. You can fly into the backcountry for some hardcore hiking and mountain biking from an alpine basecamp or saddle up for an off-the-grid horse-packing trip. Whichever option you choose, keep your camera close as you’re very likely to spot some of BC’s four-legged residents along the way.

Night market vendor still fighting for refund

A rally was held outside MP Kenny Chiu’s office on Saturday to highlight the rights of migrant workers.

Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM A Richmond Night Market vendor is calling on the event organizer to provide him a full refund, after COVID-19 postponed the night market indefinitely.

The Richmond News previously reported that a number of vendors — who paid thousands in fees to secure a spot at the popular outdoor event — were frustrated they weren’t getting a full refund from the market.

Protesters call for foreign workers’ rights Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

People from around Richmond and the Lower Mainland held a rally in Steveston Saturday to call on Ottawa to grant greater rights and protections to foreign farm and other temporary workers.

The protest — held outside StevestonRichmond East MP Kenny Chiu’s office — was organized by Richmond resident Karina Reid and was one of a series of rallies held across the country under the auspices of the Migrant Rights Network.

Other rallies were held in Toronto and Montreal.

The group — made up of people from Richmond, New Westminster, Coquitlam and Burnaby — each shared their thoughts on why they attended the rally.

For example, said Reid, migrant workers come to Canada to do jobs that Canadians “don’t want to do,” and then

Meanwhile, the market’s organizer, Raymond Cheung, claimed that the pandemic has also put him in a tough spot. Regardless, he refunded almost all of the rent for May and June to all but two of the 280 vendors.

Kit Choy Loh is one of those vendors still waiting for a refund.

Loh said his family paid $19,400 this February to secure a spot with the event management team.

The market was slated to run from May 8 to Oct. 12 this year, before the pandemic put an abrupt halt to the annual event, leaving the re-opening date up in the air.

aren’t given equal rights and status.

tee on Citizenship and Immigration.

“We don’t give them rights to healthcare, we don’t give them rights that they deserve. It’s not just farm workers, it’s also care workers. Many women come here to take care of Canadians’ kids and are fighting for those rights to status as well.”

Chiu was not at the protest, she said, adding that she received an email from his office saying he is currently in Ottawa, and that the MP will bring the issue up at the next immigration committee meeting.

Vendors have been given three options: put the money towards reserving a spot for next year; pay a $3,500 administration fee to get their money back; or pay $5,000 for next year’s deposit and $1,000 administration fee.

The group, maintaining social distancing, marched up and down the block chanting “Status for all, equal rights for all,” and some protesters decorated their vans for the rally.

“All these choices are given in their favour. We only want to participate in this year’s event, and we signed the contract for this year. If you aren’t providing service for this year, it’s reasonable to ask to get the money back,” said Loh.

Reid said she is glad to see that protests have been organized locally in Richmond recently.

Cheung said that his team tried to reach out to Loh’s family many times to give them a partial refund for May and June, but they declined and requested a full refund.

“I feel proud that Richmond is not waiting for Vancouver to host a protest, that we are coming together as a community and basically saying, we are a great community, and let’s stand up for rights here in our own city.”

“According to the contract (we signed), if anything unpredictable caused the night market (to be) cancelled or postponed, the management isn’t responsible for giving a refund to these vendors,” said Cheung.

That includes rights to time off and sick leave, said Reid.

While issues surrounding migrant workers are long-standing, they’ve been highlighted by COVID-19, which Reid said is the “silver lining” of the pandemic.

“The silver lining of the COVID crisis is that it is highlighting the discrimination that we have in our country, and that we must do better and we can’t go back to where we were before…we should not be creating such horrible human rights violations.”

Reid said it’s important to highlight Richmond as an agricultural community, which also benefits from migrant workers, adding that Chiu’s office was chosen for the rally as he is a member of the parliamentary Standing Commit-

So far this year, 4,348 workers have come to B.C. from Mexico through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, and the Mexican consulate in B.C. expects that number to climb to 6,000 by season’s end.

— with files from Tri-City News

Loh said none of those options works for him.

He said the management team also explained to the vendor that the market could open for a short period this year, however, the vendor doesn’t want to participate due to COVID-19 concerns.

“We are in the worst situation right now, we didn’t get any subsidies from the government, and our landlord is chasing us for rent as well and we have zero income. It’s just unbelievable. We tried out best to help them,” Cheung said.

‘All lives matter’ shows ignorance: camper Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“All lives matter” may sound nice, but shows ignorance to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, says Steveston resident Ayako Gallagher.

Gallagher and her husband spotted the slogan written by someone — perhaps a child — in eight-feet-wide, two-metre-high letters in chalk across the road at the Porteau Cove campground, where they were camping in June along with their young son.

The slogan, said Gallagher, is “inappropriate and offensive to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of colour),” given the current social and political climate — with mass anti-racism protests across the U.S. and around the globe, including in Canada.

“It does sound nice, I think, to someone ignorant to the Black Lives Matter movement right now, and I understand how kids could be listening to their parents saying, ‘no, children, all lives matter,’” said Gallagher.

“But this statement falls along the spectrum of racism and is inappropriate to be saying right now, and for anyone to be writing or saying in public places, especially in a B.C. park.”

Gallagher and her husband, Paddy, debated erasing the slogan themselves but decided it would be best to raise the issue with a member of the park’s staff.

But the conversation with the park worker took Gallagher aback, as the worker responded to her concerns with, “So, are you telling me all lives don’t matter?” and rolled her eyes as she said “I’ll get someone to erase the ‘all’, I guess.”

Supporters of Black Lives Matter have stressed that the slogan isn’t meant to suggest other lives don’t matter. Rather, it highlights a “specific problem that is happening in the African-American community, that is not happening in other communities,” as former President Barack Obama said.

Gallagher said she tried to explain to the worker why the phrase was offensive.

“It was her response that sparked my concern and the reason why I went to the Ministry…I was so astounded that this woman would take such a stand and a bias against being asked to take down the ‘all lives matter’ sign.”

Ministry apologizes In a June 30 response to Gallagher’s emailed complaint, a representative of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change — which oversees BC Parks — apologized

“I wanted to reach out to let you know that the exchange with staff does not represent the views of BC Parks or this government,” reads the email.

“Black lives matter,” continues the apology.

“BC Parks is committed to ensuring all visitors feel safe and welcome in our parks.

“Racism has no place in our province…a slogan like ‘all lives matter’ that is meant to dismiss the important conversations right now about systemic racism can obviously make Black, Indigenous and people of colour feel unsafe.”

The ministry has also followed up with the employees directly involved, a spokesperson told the Richmond News.

Concrete action needed Gallagher said she accepts the apology, but would like to see concrete steps taken by the ministry, for example, anti-racism training and protocols for BC Parks staff.

“I think it was sincere and I accept the apology, but there’s nothing that shows that nice rhetoric actually trickles down to the park gate operators on the ground that are interacting with B.C. residents.”

Young athlete swept away Unpredictable currents prove deadly Valerie Leung, Kirsten Clarke EDITOR@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The dangers of the unpredictable currents in the Fraser River were made tragically obvious as the life of a young Richmond man was swept away over the weekend.

Kory Nagata, an alumnus of Hugh Boyd Secondary and a recent graduate of UBC Sauder School of Business as well as a member of the Thunderbirds’ football team, was sucked in by the current in the Fraser River while retrieving a football that had fallen into the water on Sunday evening.

The search resumed Monday morning with the RCMP dive team, Air 1, Fraser Guardian patrol vessel, RCMP drone and ATVs. Nagata’s body was found shortly before noon — not far from where he had disappeared.

Dangers of the Fraser River People underestimate the strength and the currents within the river, said Richmond Fire-Rescue chief Tim Wilkinson.

“We have a combination of issues happening right now, which is a very high streamflow throughout the whole Fraser River system,” he said.

Kory Nagata was swept away by the Fraser River on Sunday.

The incident took place around 9:30 p.m. near The Deck Kitchen and Bar and the Pacific Gateway Hotel on Cessna Drive where witnesses said he got the football, but disappeared from view trying ot get back to the dock.

“Upon seeing him struggling, two other males also jumped into the water. They were unable to rescue him — before pulling themselves to safety,” said Cpl. Ian Henderson with the Richmond RCMP. An “extensive search was conducted” by the Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, who searched the waters, while Richmond Fire-Rescue and BC Emergency Health Services searched the shoreline before it was called off at 1 a.m. due to darkness.

“We also have freshets happening, and once the water levels are this high, they tend to scour all the debris off the side of the river and bring it into the water… there’s so many actual hazards within the river right

Also, with the current high streamflow, the river is moving around 10 km per hour, said Aaron Harnden, station leader for volunteer-run Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 10, which is based in Richmond.

He estimates that’s about 20 per cent faster than normal. Typically, he said, the Fraser River would flow about 6 or 6.5 km per hour.

“It’s just enough more that it can throw somebody off very quickly.”

Around Richmond, the river is particularly

“So there are undertows in between those different portions of water, as well as eddies, and back flows depending on where you are in the river, and that’s what makes it so unpredictable.”

While a low tide allows water from the river to flow out more quickly into the sea, when the tide comes in, it can push on the outflow of water from the Fraser River, creating a tideline. That process often creates standing waves, sometimes up to two- or

three feet tall, in the river.

“If you can imagine the force of the ocean pushing on the force of the river, that creates even more of a dangerous situation,” Harnden said.

People can also suffer from cold water shock, said Harnden, which can cause them to gasp for air. It can happen in a “split second.”

While Wilkinson wasn’t able to provide any data on the number of drowning accidents that have occurred in the Fraser River around Richmond, he did say that drownings happen each year in the city.

We are all hurting real bad right now: Coach Kory Nagata is being remembered as a “great young man” who was respectful in all that he did, said Bill Haddow, a retired Hugh Boyd Secondary football coach where Nagata first found his love and talent for the game.

Care packages for ‘unsung heroes’ Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Two Richmond sisters had no shortage of luck when they received a grant to help support the unsung heroes at Richmond’s healthcare facilities during COVID-19.

Chloe and Brooklyn Sequeira were more than elated when they found out they were the recipients of Richmond Cares Richmond Gives’ Responsive Neighbourhood Small Grant, which was used to create care packages for Richmond’s unsung heroes.

“The unsung heroes are not only doctors and nurses from behind the frontlines, but custodial staff, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists and office administrators,” said Chloe.

my sister,” said Brooklyn, adding that the book is like a “gift of thanks” from the community.

A total of 124 care packages were donated — each included lotion, granola bars, chocolate, powdered Vitamin C and coconut water — to the unsung heroes working at the Richmond Hospital and the Richmond Public Health building.

“We wanted to show that we care about the workers who may not necessarily be the doctors or nurses we saw on T.V.”

Along with the packages was a self-published book that Brooklyn wrote called Saving Society from COVID-19.

“The story is about me and my friend donating packages to healthcare workers, but the character is my best friend instead of

In addition, a group of friends, teachers and students from Howard Debeck Elementary School contributed close to 55 pieces of art to create posters for both health facilities.

“This project was our way to show how much we appreciate these unsung heroes and how we hope to build our community during this difficult time.”

Meals for those in need Five hundred meals are going out to Richmond families in need during the COVID-19 crisis, coordinated and prepared by the Richmond Food Security Society (RFSS).

With a Local Love Food Hub grant from the United Way, RFSS worked with Richmond agencies and the school district to identify families struggling to make ends meet.

The meals are being prepared at the Terra Nova Red Barn and the East Richmond Community Hall, both city facilities, and delivered to families across the city.

RFSS started preparing the meals and delivering in the beginning of May as faith-based organizations were no longer able to provide community meals because

of COVID-19-related restrictions, Lai explained.

“As a society, we’ve picked up the need,” he added, and RFSS will continue to provide the meals as long as funding is in place.

Food is sourced from suppliers and wholesalers, the Richmond Food Bank and three elementary school gardens.

RFSS has four staff members preparing the meals, but Richmond restaurant Bon Mi Tres Bon has stepped up to donate meals as well, Lai explained.

Lai said the way the program has come together is a show of community spirit and resilience.

B.C. recognizes heritage restoration the turn of the century era when it was built.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The restoration of the Edwardian Cottage in Terra Nova was recognized provincially for its design.

The cottage — a heritage building on Richmond’s Terra Nova riverfront dating to about 1920 — received the Facility Excellence Award for projects less than $1 million from BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA).

Originally built as a residence supporting the BC Packers cannery, the single storey wood-frame structure is considered historically significant as a surviving remnant of

In 2014, the Edwardian Cottage was restored by the city using locally sourced wood in order to preserve the heritage aspects of the building.

“The building is a heritage asset not only for the City of Richmond, but for the entire country,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a release. “It reflects the industry and socio-economic realities of the early twentieth century which are significant not just to Richmond, but to all Canadians.”

A robust and comprehensive stakeholder engagement plan was put in place during the planning, design, implementation and completion of the Edwardian Cottage restoration.

While the restoration plan was being developed, which included engaging stakeholders, the need for more early childhood learning opportunities and an opportunity to connect young people to nature to develop lifelong ecological literacy and stewardship were identified.

The Edwardian Cottage is now home to the Terra Nova Nature School focused on ecological literacy through an outdoor curriculum with nature-based programs for children from 18 months to 13 years.

The idea of the Terra Nova Nature School was developed by early childhood educators with the Thompson Community Association.

New tech helps fight fires at night Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM A small pair of binocular-style goggles, fitted to the helmet of a helicopter pilot, is paving the way for future nighttime fire attack missions in B.C. Richmond-based Talon Helicopters has the only Transport Canada-approved night vision goggle (NVG), night fire attack helicopter — known as the Airbus AS365 N2 Dauphin — in the country.

“We do a lot of rescue work (as well as) firefighting, but we couldn’t do that once civil twilight ended — so half an hour after sunset,” said Peter Murray, president of Talon.

“So this (NVG) allows us to now fly during those periods.”

The company received the Transport Canada certification March 30. But in order for the NVG to be approved, the cockpit and cabin of the nine-passenger aircraft had to be refitted, said Murray.

Every single gauge, switch and instrument that’s backlit — such as the screen, radio and GPS — had to be NVG-compatible, fitted with a green glass filter so no light source inside the aircraft would interfere with the

NVG or blind the pilots, said Murray, ensuring they have a clear view of what’s outside the cockpit.

Murray said the company is right at the “leading edge,” given the technology — originally developed for the military — is new to a commercial setting in Canada, but the benefits are clear.

For example, while a single source of ignition could light one tree on fire at 11 p.m., “by the time firefighters get to it after six to eight hours, well, now you’ve got a two-hectare, three-hectare fire,” Murray explained.

But if the helicopter — which can travel up to 260 km/hour with its 901-litre water tank — is on standby, it could arrive at the scene fast, which Murray called a “golden hour.”

“Wouldn’t you rather put 20,000 litres of water all around (a tree on fire) to reduce the spread, so that in the morning, there’s a smaller area to extinguish.”

The technology can also be applied locally, such as in late-night structure fires, he said.

Talon is looking into collecting data on dayand nighttime fire attack operations to evaluate the cost of fighting fires at night versus the cost of losing resources like structures or trees.

The goggles, which are white phosphorus, amplify and magnify light by about 50,000

times, meaning that the human eye “can see outside like it’s daylight,” illuminating the world below like a “black and white movie,” said Murray.

aerial lift work. Its hoist system has been approved by Transport Canada and can be used in nighttime rescue operations. The helicopter is also approved for night hover entry/exit, where crews enter or exit a helicopter hovering above the ground.

The certification process took about two years, from January 2018. All of Talon’s pilots have received NVG training.

Talon is also planning to use NVG to assist with search-and-rescue missions, once the technology is approved by B.C.

The built-in safety features of the Dauphin likely also helped Talon receive its Transport Canada certification, said Murray, for example, terrain awareness and an active traffic system, which warns the pilot of other aircraft around the helicopter to prevent collisions.

But while the aircraft is ready to go and is Transport Canada approved, Murray added, Talon is waiting on separate certification from the province.

For example, said Murray, the company works with North Shore Rescue during the day to move volunteers into or out of Haines Valley — typically a three- or four-hour hike — where there’s a helipad.

“What we would like to be able to do is move, at night, the volunteers to that helipad...(So) they’re fresh at that four-hour mark instead of getting there (after hiking) at two in the morning.”

The aircraft can also carry out search and rescue and medevac missions, as well as 36 years of experience
