E-scooters ignore Local politics gets nasty rules of the road Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Re: “E-scooters raise safety concerns,” News, June 3. The article about the Fantuan e-scooters is very accurate. They constantly weave between cars on the road and then switch to using bike lanes, crosswalks and sidewalks at their convenience. They are too slow to be on the road and they do not obey any trafﬁc rules — regularly running red lights — and they are too fast to be mixing with walking pedestrians. The scooters are also not licensed/insured by ICBC, so they are an unnecessary risk to Richmond drivers and pedestrians with no way to identify the delivery riders.

that do not follow trafﬁc rules. I have spotted them stopping in the middle of busy roads (without pulling over) to make deliveries on multiple occasions.

Fantuan, as a company, may say that they are open to feedback, but they are the ones who supplied the e-scooters and hired contractors who are a risk to Richmond residents. I have seen Fantuan escooters weaving around and between cars, as well as a Fantuan e-scooter holding up trafﬁc and then switching to the sidewalk. Please continue to report on and highlight this issue in Richmond.

Steve Chiang

Fantuan also has many cars doing deliveries in Richmond

There is no clearer expression of a people’s will than an election.

When voters go to the polls, they’re choosing people who best represent a community’s hopes and fears. To look at recent elections in Richmond — including the most recent byelection — is to see a community divided. And it’s also been a chance to see how far people will go to exploit those divisions. I’ve lived in Richmond for seven years, and have been politically active for much of that time. And I can conﬁdently say I’ve never seen the kind of viciousness that is marking our politics. It’s hard not to conclude that Richmond politics have devolved into a personal vindictiveness that has only spiralled and made elections less pleasant for every-

body, as people work to match each other. It is a race to the bottom and everyone loses. Richmond is facing challenges that affect all of us together. A hostile housing market. A gang war. A crumbling hospital. Threats to farmland, which goes to the heart of Richmond’s identity. At times like these we need to come up with solutions together. Clash on ideas, certainly. But no one is served by harassment of businesses or immature taunts on social media. As Michelle Obama said, when they go low, we go high. Let other communities go low, if they wish to. But let’s raise the bar locally so Richmond remains a welcoming place for the ideas that will help us face down our challenges together.

Hardware store needed in Steveston Dear Editor, Who is doing the planning of Steveston? I cannot buy a spool of thread, needles, a pair of scissors, nails or screws, a hammer, a screw driver, a paint brush, a piece of fabric, a can of paint, duct tape, a small board, any type of rope, a tarp or a bucket. I have to drive 10 kilometres to a hardware store, no fabric store exists in Richmond, although there is a paint store ﬁve kilometres away — yippee. If I did not have a car I would be really stuck. Many people do not even own a car anymore. We badly need a home-grown hardware store. Can anyone help us?

Bike on sidewalks, a safer option Dear Editor,

hicle Act also says :

Where do bicycles belong? Once upon a time, it made sense to include bicycles with motor vehicles by virtue of their speed, size and the nature of trafﬁc and roadways. Times have changed. Many of the roadways in Richmond are not set up to safely accommodate bicycles or electric scooters; and to change this would cost considerably more than a fortune. To pedal some of these roads is better described as kamikaze than risky. Safe and respectful sharing of the sidewalks is a more reasonable proposition than jockeying for space on roadways. Drivers are usually extremely considerate of cyclists in Richmond but the slightest mistake by a cyclist or a driver in only a fraction of a second can easily be fatal and will almost always be horrifying. Section183 (14) of the BC Motor Ve-

A person must not operate a cycle (a) on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway, or (b) on a sidewalk without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the sidewalk. As I see it, these laws exist to give police ofﬁcers the means and discretion to intervene as necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in the community — not just pedestrians. To suggest good citizenry includes putting your life in danger is absurd. That said, mindful consideration of others is just as important on sidewalks as it is roads.

The ghastly discovery of the remains of possibly 215 children on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School is shocking. These children may be from First Nations from all over Western Canada. Our heart-felt sympathies go to all of the aboriginal communities.

Muslim community reacts to Ontario attack AzZahraa students and Islamic Centre members gathered Wednesday to illustrate their grief over the Muslim family killed in London, Ont. Valerie Leung photo

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s Muslim community is reacting to the atrocity in London, Ont., that all but wiped out an entire family who were out for walk Sunday evening. Members of the Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre, at No. 5 and Blundell roads, have been expressing their profound grief in the wake of the apparent targeted, Islamophobic attack on a sidewalk by a man driving a truck. Make-shift memorials have popped up all over the country for the family members brutally killed — Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Afzaal and Salman Afzaal’s 74-year-old mother. The youngest member of the family, Fayez, 9, survived and remains in hospital in serious condition. Police believe their deaths were mo-

tivated by anti-Muslim hate, adding that the driver of the truck, who was arrested about 10 minutes from the scene the same evening, planned the attack and targeted the family because of their faith. “It is with heavy hearts that we extend this statement on the horriﬁc, targeted murder of a Muslim family in London, Ontario. Our prayers go out to the entire Muslim community, and in particular, to nine-year-old Fayez Salman,

whose family was killed in this Islamophobic attack,” read the statement issued by Az-Zahraa’s PR director Mahmood Jaffer. “We pray for his quick and full recovery from the injuries he sustained in the attack.” Jaffer’s statement went on to say that Muslims in Canada are “well aware of the deep-seated anti-Muslim racism and white supremacy in this country that fuels such attacks, including the Quebec

City mosque shooting, the stabbing of a mosque caretaker in Toronto and attacks against Muslim women in Alberta and across the country. “These sentiments are further incited by the legislation and policies of our federal and provincial governments, as observed in Quebec’s Bill 21 banning religious symbols and the many MPs who opposed the anti-Islamophobia motion M-103. “While we continue to grieve the lives that have been taken from us, we remain resolved to continue practicing our faith despite attempts to raise fear and unrest within the Muslim community.” Az-Zahraa then called upon elected ofﬁcials and “community allies to take action to address the causes of systemic anti-Muslim racism, Islamophobia, and all forms of injustice against Muslims.” Nathanial Veltman, 20, of London, Ont., faces four charges of ﬁrst-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Colonial name questioned the Garden City Lands.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A street named after Joseph Trutch in Richmond might be renamed following similar calls in Vancouver to rename that city’s Trutch Street. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie made a motion at Monday’s committee meeting to look into renaming Trutch Avenue, located in Terra Nova in an area with streets named after lieutenant-governors. “Apparently, there have been various suggestions this gentleman had quite a challenging past,” Brodie said at the meeting. In fact, Trutch, as the ﬁrst lieutenant-governor of B.C. after confederation, reduced some First Nations reserves by up to 90 per cent and spoke with open contempt for Indigenous people. Trutch denied the existence of treaties signed in the 1850s by James

Mary Point performed a paddle song at a vigil Tuesday for 215 Indigenous children. Maria Rantanen photo

These two lawsuits have been cited as the reason why Richmond doesn’t do an Indigenous land acknowledgment before public meetings. Richmond’s Trutch Avenue has about 20 homes on it and residents would be consulted on the issue. The motion was supported unanimously by council. Trutch Avenue in Terra Nova could see a name change. Maria Rantanen photo Douglas, a previous lieutenant-governor. The City of Richmond itself is currently in court with the Cowichan First Nations over land located in southeast Richmond — 780 acres near Triangle Beach. Furthermore, there is a dormant lawsuit between the city and the Musqueam First Nations regarding

A suggestion by Coun. Michael Wolfe, however, to investigate if there are other streets in Richmond that might be equally problematic, was denied by Brodie who said that wasn’t part of the motion.

Richmond reﬂects

A somber crowd came for the second time in a week to reﬂect at Brighouse library on the discovery of the unmarked graves of 215 Indigenous children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

“I’m not opening up Pandora’s box here,” Brodie said. “We want to speciﬁcally look at Trutch...” Coun. Alexa Loo suggested the street could be named after Steven Point, lieutenant-governor from 2007 to 2012. Point is Indigenous and is a retired provincial court judge. — with ﬁles from the Victoria TimesColonist

Cyclists, walkers may Woman still missing get lanes in Steveston Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

More cycling and pedestrian lanes could be coming to Chatham and Bayview streets in Steveston at a cost of about $10 million. Last summer’s temporary road changes on Bayview Street resulted in complaints to the City of Richmond about conﬂicts between cyclists and pedestrians. So, city staff are recommending Richmond council approve a plan to remove 17 parking spots and have separate lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. The temporary lanes were put in on the south side of Bayview last summer during the height

Street, however.

City staff said they will work with Richmond Centre for Disability to ﬁnd a new location for the accessible parking spots.

The city received feedback after some temporary road changes were made last summer that there was a “strong desire” to keep the street the same as it’s been for the past 40 years.

The plan also includes expanded pedestrian lanes and new cycling lanes on Chatham Street, but this wouldn’t require removing any parking spots. Funding for the pedestrian and cycling lanes on these two streets could come from grants, developer charges or the city’s capital budget. In its report to council’s planning committee, staff state these proposed changes are to “reduce reliance on private auto trips to the Village.” City staff aren’t recommending any changes to Moncton

The plan was endorsed by council’s planning committee, but Coun. Harold Steves, while he endorsed the plan, said he was still concerned about a transit hub planned for Steveston as well as the need for parking. Steves suggested more parking could be created on the side streets, for example, on First Avenue north of Chatham Street where there are currently ditches along the road.

City orders cleanup Turnout high at McMath Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The son of an owner of “unsightly” property on Severn Drive wants a hearing into cleaning up the property to be postponed. Edward Wong told the Richmond News, however, he’s “determined and conﬁdent” he will get the property, which belongs to his mother, cleaned up before the hearing scheduled for June 21. Wong further claims there are “inconsistencies and errors” in the documents compiled by the City of Richmond for the city council hearing. Wong said there are no derelict cars, furniture, scrap metal or shipping containers — which the city said were on his property. He clariﬁed he still has some disposal bins in front of the house, which he has covered up. The city claimed, in its documents, there were 15 complaints over 13

years, but Wong said he doesn’t recall these complaints. The order to clean up the property, located close to No. 4 and Williams Road in the South Arm area, was issued on April 22. This cleanup demand from the city started in November 2019 and an order to comply with the unsightly premises bylaw was issued in January 2020. In October, the city went in to start cleaning it up, at which point Wong said he’d do it. However, in April, the property was found once again to be non-compliant with the bylaw, according to city documents, and another order was issued, which Wong then appealed, hence the hearing was scheduled.

McMath and Burnett secondary schools were the most popular election day polls in the recent Richmond byelection. Of the total number of ballots cast — 13,002 — about 12.6 per cent were cast at McMath secondary in Steveston on May 29, election day. The second highest was Burnett secondary, located in the Thompson/West Richmond area, where 1,105 people cast a ballot on election day. In the end, Andy Hobbs topped the polls and won a seat on Richmond city council — he will be sworn in on June 14.

City staff will go to the property next week for another inspection and will update council prior to the hearing — this will include photos of the property.

While Hobbs won the overall number of votes, Karina Reid garnered the most votes — 510 — in the McMath election day poll, whereas Hobbs received 454 votes.

City spokesperson Clay Adams said the city hopes the owner has “moved forward with addressing concerns.”

Ho only received 137 votes in the McMath election day poll, but received the most mail-in ballots, 469 votes, and

Old dump shows need for river plan Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The state of the old dumpsite east of Triangle Beach, where decades of decomposing metals and garbage are now being exposed by tidal action, illustrates the need for the revival of a Fraser River management program, according to local environmentalists. It’s “not a healthy habitat” along that section of the river, said Otto Langer, chair of Fraser Voices and retired biologist with Environment Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. “All the habitat we had along the Richmond landﬁll shoreline is pretty well gone, and now you’re seeing the toll of the garbage dump,” he said, adding there could be PCBs (toxic synthetic compounds) and “all sorts” of other pollutants there.

The City of Richmond is currently “looking into the situation” at the site, according to spokesperson Clay Adams.

“This particular area is complex due to its history and location and we are looking into the situation to determine how to proceed in the best interests of the environment and the community.” But the city, Adams said, isn’t able to comment further given an ongoing lawsuit in the area. The dumpsite largely spans two beaches known as “8 Ball” and “The Jungle,” between No. 6 and No. 8 roads. It’s an area where there’s no wildlife, and where the shoreline is tarnished an “ugly, ghoulish kind of orange colour,” Richmond resident Steve LaRocca told the Richmond News last month. Puddles of oil from gear boxes and motors splatter the beach, while old tires and decayed cars emerge from the sand.

City of Richmond

The site was home to what was likely one of the “messier” landﬁlls in Western Canada, particularly between the 1960s and 1980s, said Langer.

“They let everybody dump whatever they wanted into what was the old Richmond bog. Even Canadian Pacific Airlines was dumping oil on the site, if you can believe it.” Pollution charges were laid against the landfill in the late 1970s, Langer said, and Environment Canada issued a cleanup order under the Fisheries Act. Other areas of concern However, the former landfill isn’t the only site of concern along the river, according to city Coun. Michael Wolfe. In a series of trips in his motorized rowboat around Richmond, Wolfe said he’s come across industrial sites where sections of the structure are falling away into the

river. There’s also the city’s ongoing problem of illegal dumping.

“It’s just remarkable, the scale (of stuff) that’s passing through our waterways, our estuary, and there’s very little being done to capture it,” said Wolfe. Further complicating the issue is the fact all three levels of government have jurisdiction over various portions of the river or shoreline, Wolfe added. Calls for FREMP 2.0 Both Wolfe and Langer said they would like to see Canada revive the Fraser River Estuary Management Program (FREMP), which was terminated in 2013 after the Harper Conservative government stopped funding it. “(FREMP is) something that will be needed...but it’s not being worked on by the agencies that really have the responsibility to do that,” said Wolfe. The program was designed to

coordinate decision-making on conservation and development along the Fraser River and Burrard Inlet, linking federal and provincial agencies, municipalities, port authorities (except for the Port of Vancouver), regional districts and First Nations. It established where industry could, and could not, develop along the river, while a three-zone colour-coding system helped protect against habitat loss. “(Right now) it’s basically a hodgepodge collection of who wants to do what, where… And so things are a little bit out of control,” said Langer. “Where’s the plan for restoration of the estuary, where’s the plan for protection, where’s the enforcement program? We were better off 30 years ago than we are right now.” Search “dumpsite” for full story at RichmondNews.com

A landscaper in Richmond is warning about the emergence of so-called “foxtail grass” on city property in Steveston.

up now and then and hearing from you will help us control it when it does go to ﬂower and seed.

Don Pitcairn alerted the city last week about the dangerously spiky grass — on Westwater Drive, near the Phoenix Pond — which is especially harmful to pets.

“We do not use traditional herbicides in Richmond so will not be spraying these sites but will do our best to remove the seed tails when we see or hear about them.”

Pitcairn pointed out to the city the grass’ “sharp seeds that are a threat to any pet that walks through it and this area is next to a public walkway, where many people walk their dogs.”

The Richmond News reported almost two years ago how a group of dog owners appealed to the city to mow down a large patch of foxtail grass at the No. 3 Road offleash park that had been injuring their pets.

“This grass needs to be cut down, the seed spikes collected and disposed of,” said Pitcairn. “The plants should then be fenced off, treated with herbicide and replanted with regular grass seed. The area in question was mowed last month but not trimmed for some reason, allowing the foxtail to mature and the seed heads to grow.”

According to the dog owners, the grass’ tall stems had a kind of husk with small spikes that were embedding themselves in their pet’s paws and bellies.

Ted deCrom, the city’s parks operations manager, told Pitcairn that a parks supervisor has “been keeping an eye open for any foxtail grass.”

The city said at the time that it was aware of some wild grass at the site, but staff didn’t realize how harmful it could be to pets. The city then promised to mow the offending area down shorter and more often.

The issue of it being a pet problem, added deCrom, “came to our attention two years ago. This being a common grass will show

Several of the pets have needed veterinary treatment, causing one such business, the Island Veterinary Hospital, to issue a warning on its website.

According to the Richmond RCMP, visitors at McDonald Beach Park saw a dog struggling and swimming against the Fraser River current around 1:30 p.m. on June 2. The witnesses alerted frontline ofﬁcer Const. Niko Geneblaza, who had been patrolling in the park at the time, and was able to ﬂag

The BC SPCA is asking Richmond residents to help it keep track of the city’s feral cat population.

Cpl. Ian Henderson, spokesperson for the Richmond RCMP, said everyone was pleased with the outcome, but the incident should “serve as a reminder.”

The organization is currently doing a “community cat count” in Richmond, which aims to gather information about the number of feral cat colonies — a group of two or more cats living together — in the city. “Getting an idea of the community cat situation will help us understand if this is an area where we should focus resources and if so, how best to prioritize cat colonies,” said Marieke van der Velden, outreach specialist with the BC SPCA. Richmondites can report feral cat colonies online at https://bit.ly/3v9U5Lt

The SPCA took over the City of Richmond’s animal control contract earlier this year, after the city’s 13-year contract with RAPS (Regional Animal Protection Society) came to an end on Jan. 31. The cat count initiative was softlaunched a few weeks ago and is also underway in Powell River. Based on accounts from stakeholders and community members, there are a number of feral cats in Richmond, said van der Velden, however, the SPCA doesn’t know how many or where they are.

Once the organization knows where the cats are, the goal is to “trap-neuter-return” them.

Boat operator Mitch Misyk and passenger Chantal Mcdonald rescued the young German shepherd which was “visibly shaken,” but was happily reunited with its owner, who apparently had not realized their dog had entered the water, according to the Richmond RCMP.

“This is the best outcome for community cats,” said van der Velden. “If there are kittens, they can be socialized and adopted out.” According to the SPCA, bringing an adult feral cat indoors can cause them a signiﬁcant amount of stress.

The SPCA will work with community members to get a plan in place once cats are returned, said van der Velden, however, ideally they will already have people looking out for them by making sure food and water is available and monitoring their health. She added there’s no set end date for the program as new cat colonies may emerge over time. —Kirsten Clarke/Richmond News

Car-hop service staying Bowling alley aims to despite ban being lifted double liquor capacity

cil bowling tends to attract older people and drinking isn’t their primary focus.

“We don’t do huge sales of alcohol — it’s just an added amenity,” Hicks said. “We want to be competitive with other bowling centres in British Columbia.”

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The liquor licence for a brew pub in south Richmond could more than double if it is allowed to serve drinks in its neighbouring Lucky 9 Lanes bowling alley.

A Richmond restaurant will continue with its retro, old-school vibes by offering a “car hop” service to patrons who aren’t comfortable eating in yet. Yuu Japanese Tapas Restaurant at Continental Plaza, near Cambie and Sexsmith roads, launched the in-car service in May when the B.C. health ofﬁcer extended the ban on indoor dining for restaurants.

A Japanese restauraunt in Richmond is keeping its carhop service.

However, despite having city and health authority approval, it had to halt the service after just a week or so, after the strata council that runs the shopping mall had issues with public safety liability.

Julia Kubotani, owner of Yuu Japanese Tapas, said the feedback on their “car-hop” option has been amazing, to the point it is starting to get overwhelming.

But last week, the restaurant’s car-hop was back online after it satisﬁed the strata’s concerns about the likes of insurance. Just like the White Spot service of old, customers are able to park in the three stalls in front of the restaurant and eat inside their vehicle with unique “tables” built to ﬁt in various types of car.

Monkey 9 Brew Pub, located close to No. 6 Road and Steveston Highway, is proposing expanding its “liquor primary” licence into the former Zone Bowling facility, going from serving 200 customers to serving 460 customers.

Tourism Richmond was offering 25 grants, each worth $1,000, to be provided through the Patio Enhancement Program for restaurants to upgrade and enhance existing patios or to establish a new temporary patio. Nancy Small, CEO of Tourism Richmond, said they received 14 applications within the ﬁrst 24 hours and had to close the applications on May 31 when all 25 grants were applied for. “The need for the grant is really across the board in the hospitality and restaurant

“Many people appreciated the concept of a car-hop because they want to eat out but are still a little scared during this time,” said Kubotani, adding that the younger generation is always looking for new experiences.

This could include aircraft services and light industrial, commercial and retail uses.

A third runway is in the airport’s master plan — one option is to run parallel to the south runway — but this expanded commercial use proposal seems to suggest there are no immediate plans to build it. However, the height of buildings in Richmond are zoned with air travel from a third runway in mind. A YVR spokesperson told the Richmond News there are no current plans to build it, but, regardless of when or if it’s built, the zoning is needed to ensure new buildings aren’t in the way of a future ﬂight path.

port Canada for approval, and the City of Richmond was asked to comment on plan.

YVR has verbally told the city their intention is to only have some retail, for example, restaurants for workers, but in a report to council’s planning committee next week, city staff say the “language is too ﬂexible.”

Thirty-six temporary outdoor patio permits were issued, 29 are still under review, 13 require more information and two don’t require a review as they have an existing patio.

The Vancouver International Airport is proposing an expansion to its commercial uses next to the south runway.

Richmond city staff, however, are concerned the space would be largely used for retail stores, which would compete with local stores and increase trafﬁc.

According to the city, 80 premises submitted an application for patio permits.

Chicken Breast Grills

The change to the liquor licence will be ultimately decided by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

YVR retail expansion bid

The City of Richmond has had temporary patio applications ﬂooding in since the B.C. Ministry of Health ordered an indoor dining ban in March — the ban was repealed two weeks ago.

In a consultation with neighbouring properties, the only concerns raised were increased trafﬁc and racing in the parking lot.

In a report to council, city staff say they don’t think the noise level would be of any concern.

The seating capacity of Lucky 9 Lanes is 160 people and the lane capacity is 100 people.

Monkey 9 Brew Pub is located in the “entertainment district” at the south end of No. 6 Road and includes SilverCity Riverport movie theatre, Richmond Ice Centre and Watermania.

Richmond city council unanimously supported expanding the licence into the bowling lanes at Monday’s general purposes committee meeting.

Restaurants dive in to take tourism patio grants Many local restaurants jumped at the chance when Tourism Richmond announced they were offering ﬁnancial support for establishments offering patio service.

Monkey 9 Brew Pub, which took over from Big River Brew Pub after it and the bowling alley closed in 2015, will keep the same hours, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day of the week.

Richmond’s Stecher Jets player receives prestigious hockey award wins world gold Alan Campbell

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s own Troy Stecher was one of the Canadian heroes Sunday when the country bagged the World Championship title over Finland.

Josh Freeland was recently named the Earle Sinkie — U21 Division MVP.

Despite having a terrible start to the 2021 IIHF Men’s World Championships in Latvia, Team Canada won the gold medal game with a 3-2 overtime victory. It followed on from their win over the U.S. on Saturday, who went on to win bronze, with a 6-1 crushing of Germany. Former Vancouver Canuck Stecher, 27, led all skaters in the ﬁnal, 27:46 time on the ice and tied for most shots on Team Canada — four. After the win, he posted on his Twitter account: “IIHF World Champions! Next stop: Richmond Country Club.”

SECURITY PLUS FLEXIBILITY

Troy Stecher (left) celebrates winning the World Hockey Championship on Sunday. IIHF photo Earlier, the United States claimed bronze with a 6-1 win over Germany. Sunday’s result was sweet revenge for Canada, which denied Finland in its quest to win back-to-back world titles for the ﬁrst time. The Finns beat Canada 3-1 in the 2019 world championship ﬁnal. The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Josh Freeland

A Richmond Jets player has been given one of the Lower Mainland’s premier awards in youth hockey.

%* LIMITED TIME OFFER!

The award is given to U21 player adjudged to have demonstrated the qualities of leadership, sportsmanship and contribution to the team and association. Freeland started playing hockey in the “hockey 1” program at the former Richmond Minor Hockey Association (now part of the Jets), where he stayed for 14 years before moving to the former Seafair organization (also now the Jets). Throughout his hockey years, he has captained rep and house teams and spent many years volunteering at tournaments, refereeing, coaching and mentor-

ing younger groups. Asked what hockey has meant to him throughout the years, Freeland said, “Playing hockey from a young age has helped me through a lot in life. “It’s always been a place to go and have fun with friends and forget about life problems and be able to focus on something that I enjoy...Having gone through hard fought battles in the dying minutes of the third period helped form a bond with coaches and players that have continued on and grown throughout hockey and life in general.”

YAMANE, Mamoru (a.k.a. Donald) April 25, 1934 − April 9, 2021 An outstanding veteran of the Royal Canadian Army Service and the United Nations (UN) Peace Corps since 1951, Mamoru (a.k.a. Donald) Yamane peacefully passed away on Friday, April 9, 2021, at the age of 87 years. He was predeceased by his parents, Umeko and Kameichi Yamane of Hiroshima Ken, Japan; his brother, Tucker and Mike; and his sister, Mary. He will be lovingly remembered by his surviving wife, Stella; stepchildren, Wilfred (Sandra), Willock (Stephanie), and Wayne (Carol); step− grandchildren, Charisa, Kyle, Adriel, and Korey; sisters, Sally, Toni and Nancy (Craig Lee); and by his many nephews, nieces and grandniece and grandnephews. Don is especially passionate about curling and golf. He was playing in the Canadian Forces curling team and has achieved excellent merits. His effort paid in participating in numerous peacemaking activities throughout his military career was affirmed. He will be greatly missed by all his family and extended family.

WAITE, Myles January 8, 1955 - May 7, 2021 Myles left us suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 66. He is survived by his loving wife Garnet, sister Wenda, daughter Jennifer (Sean), daughter in-law Fiona (Simon), grandchildren Michael, Maddison, Mairyn, Jake, and Liam, Connor, Aidan and Owen. Other bereaved include extended family, numerous nieces, nephews and his all his Fynes family in-laws. Myles was predeceased by his parents Reginald and Agnes, and his brothers Garry, Darryl, and Bruce, all long-time Richmond residents. In 1974 Myles started work with the then Municipality of Richmond where, in his 39 years of service as a surveyor, he gained many life-long friends and saw many changes. He was proud of his prized union jacket presented upon his retirement in 2013, and is still fondly remembered by fellow-workers for his honesty, loyalty, generosity and sense of humour. In his younger years Myles played soccer, rugby and baseball. He coached his daughter’s softball team from T-Ball through high school and was always proud to wear his COACH jacket. He was an amazing leader and mentor for many young women. Myles’ “happy place” would include a muscle car with the hood up, a sports game or rock and roll on the radio, steak sizzling on a BBQ, fishing gear, a little boat by a lakeside cabin. He loved to play with his grand-kids, laugh, sing and dance, and had a style all his own. Myles would have wanted us to celebrate his life when we are able to raise a glass without Covid restrictions. Please join us to do so. Contact; farewelltomyles@protonmail.com to be notified of details. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.
