OPINION

Email news tips to Editor@Richmond-News.com

What are we celebrating on July 1? Last year, when no one had been vaccinated, our front page still featured a young woman in red and white singing the national anthem in front of a massive Canadian ﬂag mural.

Port Hardy and other communities throughout B.C. and across Canada have also cancelled their planned celebration.

The sun rising, the seasons changing, my son “forgetting” to empty the dishwasher — these are just some of the dependables of life.

Obviously, this is about the discovery of what may be the remains of 215 children in an unmarked grave on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

A more “sombre” approach, is how the city describes it.

On the work front, one of those sure-bets is what we’ll put on the front page of our last issue before Canada Day, or, as is the case this year, on our July 1 issue.

“Context changed when those 215 children’s bodies were discovered and they (the Lekwungen Nation) are reeling and everybody is reeling,” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps told the media earlier this month by way of explaining why her city was cancelling its Canada Day celebrations.

Some things we can count on.

Without fail, that paper has been covered in red and white to celebrate all that is great about this nation...topped, not with a cherry, but a little red maple leaf where the “o” of Richmond should be. So it’s genuinely disconcerting to think that might not happen this year. We can pretend the dampened enthusiasm is about COVID and the fact there will be no big parade or salmon barbecue this year. But we know that’s not it.

Pentiction mayor John Vassilaki quickly followed suit. “Out of respect for Indigenous communities across Canada who are grieving, it is important to Penticton city council that this year’s Canada Day activities honour the history, culture and traditions of Indigenous people,” Vassilaki said in a statement.

Richmond isn’t cancelling anything, but it’s certainly not putting bells on this one.

Not everyone is loving this anti-Canada Day movement. One Globe and Mail letter writer states, “Canada did not become one of the greatest countries by pausing at every tragedy to add to its own suffering. Canada became one of the greatest countries because it recognized its tragedies when they surfaced, paid them due reflection and remorse, then continued on its path of nurturing, building and celebrating a world-beating culture.” As someone who loves Canada Day and has been to the Salmon Festival every year of the 20 years I’ve lived in Richmond, I’m conflicted. I’m forced to ask myself, when I’m out there waving my little flag, what exactly am I waving for? Is it the fact that 154 years ago John A. Macdonald (one of the

architects of residential schools) and others organized Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the province which is now Ontario and Quebec into a dominion of the British empire — a dominion that went on to brutally exploit the people who were already living here? Some First Nations chiefs and elders are asking people not to celebrate Canada Day this year. Rather, they suggest we use the day to educate ourselves about the history of colonialism, residential schools and their continued impacts. Fair enough, I’ll do that, but I don’t promise to never wave the ﬂag again because when I’m waving that ﬂag, I’m not waving for the state of Canada (or City of Richmond) to win a land claim over a First Nations group. I’m waving for diversity, for inclusion, for equality. Ironically, I’m waving for our ability to overcome the worst sentiments of nationalism, with its division and exploitation. Maybe that’s a bit backwards, or even anti-nationalist, but I don’t think I’m alone.

Eby-Yan study was racist Dear Editor,

Re: “How is David Eby a racist, Ms. Wat?” Letters, June 17. I refer to Carlos Yee’s letter taking issue with Richmond MLA Teresa Wat’s alleged description of Attorney General and Housing Minister David Eby as “racist.” It would be helpful for your readers if you can provide the link to Ms. Wat’s alleged comment. Mr. Yee’s main point of contention is the 2015 study that Mr. Eby played a key role in co-producing with SFU urban planner Andy Yan. It is important to know the background of the Eby-Yan study as it remains inﬂuential in the B.C. housing discourse to this day. Mr. Eby pre-selected data with his tiny sampling of 172 homes sold in an expensive Vancouver neighbourhood over a sixmonth period. In 2015, Metro Vancouver recorded over 42,000 home sales. That sample of 172 homes represents around 0.4 per cent of the total sold in the region in 2015. Eth-

nic Chinese people formed about a ﬁfth of MetroVancouver’s then 2.5 million people. Mr. Eby narrowed his data selection to a wealthy neighbourhood known for its popularity with Chinese people, many of them without Anglicized names. Given this highly skewed data set, you don’t need an urban planning or housing expert to “discover” that 66 per cent of those buyers were ethnic Chinese, and that they had “non-Anglicized” names. This “study” should have been put into the trash bin from the start. It is an example of the abuse of statistics to sell a pre-determined conclusion. Sadly, in this case, it was used to fan populism to impact public policy. The sampling methods are so bad and amateurish that it is astounding someone of Mr. Yan’s expertise would have agreed to consider it worthy of serious consideration and publication. But in the angry mood of 2015, that “study” boosted the public proﬁles of both Mr. Eby and Mr. Yan. The mainstream media not only failed to do its job to scrutinize it, reporters promoted it as

“evidence” that ethnic Chinese, especially new immigrants from China and foreign money from China, were buying up the scarce local housing supply. The housing crisis blamed on Chinese immigrants and money was set alight. The Eby-Yan study of 2015 is racist. From conception to its continuing inﬂuence on blaming foreign capital for Metro Vancouver’s housing problems, the EbyYan study has been key to Chinese-scapegoating for a monumental failure of policy making on a major public interest issue. Some Canadians have shown themselves just as pre-disposed to Trumpian tendencies for bad information when it feeds their prejudices. Shamefully, the defence of that study continues among inﬂuential people to this day. Mr. Eby himself has apologized for his role in stoking anti-Chinese sentiments as a result of the study. The rest should follow his example.

Ranter knew exactly what he was doing Dear Editor, Question for everyone: a criminal law has both mens rea and actus reus elements to it. How is a certain hate crime a mental wellness issue if a person gives death threats, goes into a racist rant when he thinks he is not being filmed, and suddenly becomes very cordial and nice when he notices that he is being filmed? Do these actions not fulfill the mens rea and actus reus elements of a criminal act? This, in my opinion, is a sign that he is of a rational mind and simply committed these hate crimes because he thought that he would get away with it. These are not mental wellness issues, but in fact the actions of a devious and criminal mind.

Facts amiss in Kamloops Dear Editor, Indian residential schools were a disgrace, in principle and practice. I have no desire to debate that. My issue is the integrity of the reporting that has surrounded the discovery of the Kamloops residential school gravesites. First of all, nearly every media outlet initially reported that the band had discovered a “mass grave.” This is pure ﬁction. The band chief said there were “215 potential sites.” She never mentioned a mass grave, yet it was reported as such locally, nationally and even internationally, which is why the story got such traction. Secondly, media outlets are reporting that all the graves contain children. This may or may not be true. The chief said they “could” contain children. Her exact words were: “What was shared with us [from the company that did the study] was there’s 215 sites, potential sites, that could very well be children...”

potential could be. They are very preliminary.” She said the band had not yet received a written report, which means there is no way for reporters to review the methodology and verify the findings, as sketchy as they are. Fourthly, the chief refused to identify the company that did the study. This is a key fact that most media outlets failed to report. How do we know it is a competent and trustworthy firm? The bottom line is that reporters took oral comments from an undisclosed source and reported them as fact, then used those comments as a platform for all sorts of inference and conjecture as to who is in those graves and how they got there. Historical review is important. We must identify our mistakes before we can learn from them. But we should move forward on facts, not unverifiable comments from undisclosed sources, and certainly not on unbridled media conjecture.

Thirdly, the chief stressed that these were the “initial ﬁndings of what the

Charges laid in alleged racial incident Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The couple involved in the alleged racial incident inside a Steveston coffee shop has been charged with mischief. According to Richmond RCMP, Astrid Maria Secreve and Michel Jean-Jacque Berthaume have both been charged following the incident at Rocanini on Moncton Street and No. 1 Road on March 19. Police say the incident which led to this week’s charges involved alleged racial slurs, which the Richmond News reported earlier this year as being hurled

at shop staff of Asian ethnicity. “Our investigators conducted a thorough and extensive investigation and their efforts have resulted in charges being laid against two individuals,” said Insp. Michael Cohee, Richmond RCMP’s ofﬁcer-in-charge of Operations Support. “Hate has no place in our community. We are committed to investigating every incident to its fullest and will pursue charges where a potential offence has been committed.” The News reported back in March how the incident was caught on the coffee shop’s CCTV, which showed the couple getting out of their seats and ap-

Hate incidents linked to Signatures collected to ﬁght racism mental health: RCMP Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond RCMP’s officer in charge estimated 80 per cent of hate incidents in Richmond are somewhat related to mental-health issues. Between January and April, there have been nine hate crime files with the RCMP and 10 hate incidents. (Hate incidents don’t necessarily reach the threshold of being classified as a crime.) At a recent community safety meeting, Coun. Harold Steves asked Chief Supt. Will Ng, officer in charge of the Richmond RCMP, whether the hate incidents were done by Richmond residents or outsiders. Ng said a “good proportion” are people

who live in Richmond, but, when looking at the incidents, he was surprised about 80 per cent seemed to have a “mentalhealth component.”

Steves said he was sorry to hear Richmond residents were committing these hate incidents, adding he feels there are “pretty good tolerant people” in Richmond, especially because of its long history as a multicultural city. “But if it’s mental health, I can understand that, too, because some people have some strange ideas,” Steves said. Richmond city council asked earlier this year for hate crimes and incidents to be included in monthly RCMP reports that go to the community safety meeting. In 2020, there were a total of 34 hate crimes and incidents whereas in 2019 there were only 20.

A grassroots Richmond organization gathered in Steveston last Thursday to display 7,000 signatures against racism.

The signatures — collected online and on the streets of four cities in Metro Vancouver, including Richmond, by Stop Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Advocacy Group (SAHCG) — will be sent to the ofﬁces of both Attorney General David Eby and the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth. Standing across the street from the Steveston coffee shop where an allegedly racially motivated incident took place in March, SAHCG founder Ally Wang said while it seems there’s still a long way to go to eliminating racism, the signatures are a sign the public is willing to be an ally in the battle. On March 29, Richmond RCMP was called to Steveston’s Rocanini coffee shop

after the store manager reported an alleged assault and racial slurs involving two customers. The individuals involved in the incident have now been charged with mischief.

Recently elected Richmond city Coun. Andy Hobbs was also at the event and said different levels of government and RCMP have been working hard to combat racism. He said that, sometimes, addressing hateful incidents isn’t just the responsibility of the authorities, but everyone. “Just reach out and support one another,” he said. “It’s important for all of us to step forward and take action, such as intervene or take a photo. We all have a duty, we all have an obligation to our friends and neighours, our fellow citizens in Richmond.”

But it wasn’t until an exceptionally sinister incident in January — the 10th time he had tried to get in the house — that the courts were ﬁnally able to take action. “He was in my front yard, sharpening two pieces of concrete together, staring into our living room,” said Mair, who has several security cameras around her home. “He looked like he was going to throw it through my window. That was really scary. “Again, he was arrested and this time he got convicted with (placing Mair in a state of fear and alarm). He got ﬁned $500 and was released with a whole set of conditions not to come anywhere near me.” All seemed well until last week, however, when Castillo showed up again, for the 11th time, and rang Mair’s doorbell. “I was out. I have a smart doorbell. I got the alert on my phone and I see his face at my door. I called 9-1-1,” said Mair.

Koszima Mair holds a copy of the order which is supposed to protect her from Jesse Castillo.

“They told me not to go home. I drove past my house. He saw me and waved. “After an hour, an ofﬁcer called and said that they had him in custody and I could go home. The video shows him slowly walking down the driveway and trying the door before going into the bushes. It’s so creepy.” Castillo is expected to be in custody for a month and is undergoing assessments. Mair suspects he has a serious mental health condition, but claimed that Richmond RCMP’s mental health unit had assessed him previously as “not being a danger to himself or others.” Richmond RCMP say they have created a safety plan with Mair that includes calling 9-1-1 if she sees Castillo, with calls potentially being expedited. “This is an unenviable position to be in. We are extremely sympathetic to Ms. Mair’s situation,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Adriana O’Malley. “We are doing everything to keep her safe (including) arresting and recommending charges where an alleged offence has been committed.” However, Mair is not convinced Castillo is getting the message and is already fearing the day he gets released from custody. “When he’s not in custody, I’m scared to even put my garbage out,” Mair conceded. “I’ve told police I sleep with a hammer and I will defend myself and my children if he gets in here. This is not a life. The guy clearly needs help.”

Hours-long standoff ends with arrest day afternoon.

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A suspect was arrested in the Hamilton community following an hours-long standoff that shut down an area of east Richmond on Tues-

Richmond RCMP responded to a call in the 22000-block of Norton Court around 12 p.m. of a man allegedly pointing a ﬁrearm at bailiffs — individuals who enforce civil judgments in B.C. The bailiffs, according to police,

were at the residence to remove the man under a Supreme Court Order. However, when the bailiffs entered the property, the man pointed a ﬁrearm at them, resulting in the bailiffs exiting the house and contacting the local police.

The suspect then allegedly exited the house onto a second-storey balcony and also “discharged his ﬁrearm multiple times into the air,” reads an RCMP statement.

“Richmond RCMP frontline ofﬁcers quickly set up containment on the residence and the area was secured for public safety,” said Cpl. Adriana O’Malley, Richmond RCMP spokesperson. “Frontline ofﬁcers were in contact with the man, however, he refused to exit the residence.”

HONGDE Elementary School is a notfor-proﬁt Kindergarten — Grade 7 Independent school, oﬀering a Chinese (mandarin) program and an English program. The purpose of the school is to provide an excellent education to learn about traditional both Chinese and western culture values. The Name HONGDE can be translated as “Promoting virtue through learning traditional culture.”

Nearby residences reported RCMP ofﬁcers wearing “tacticallike” gear carrying what appeared to be riﬂes in the area.

The incident had Westminster Highway, between Gilley Road and McLean Avenue, closed off to vehicles and pedestrians at the time. An emergency response team and RCMP negotiator were also on scene. The man was safely taken into custody at around 3:45 p.m. and no injuries to the public or police were reported.

Highway 99 improvements announced A request for proposals to turn the Steveston overpass from two lanes to ﬁve will go out this fall with an anticipated completion date of 2025.

Furthermore, according to a provincial announcement Tuesday on “safety and mobility” improvements, tenders for transit and cycling upgrades on Bridgeport Road and Highway 17A will go out this week and work is expected to start this fall. The Steveston exchange and highway improvements are in anticipation of the replacement of the George Massey Tunnel. However, despite the fact the business case for the tunnel replacement was completed in December, the province hasn’t announced whether it will be replaced by an eight-lane immersed tube tunnel or an eight-lane bridge, the two short-listed options. In response to Tuesday’s announcement, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce said, while it’s pleased to see a “commitment to real improvements” along Highway 99, it’s “anxious” to see a plan to replace the tunnel.

“The George Massey Tunnel should be the province’s ﬁrst priority for infrastructure investment,” said Dan Baxter, the chamber’s president and CEO, in a statement. “Today is a step forward — now we’re looking for those next steps.” He said the current tunnel, which opened in 1959, is “woefully under-capacity” and “seismically unsafe.” The City of Richmond has made “repeated requests” for information about the tunnel replacement project, according to a report that went to council’s public works and transportation committee, but to no avail. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has said it’s in discussions with the federal government about funding and will announce the business case after that is concluded. Mayor Malcom Brodie said the improvements are a “great start,” adding he looks forward to the federal government’s support for the tunnel replacement. —Maria Rantanen, Kirsten Clarke/News Search interchange for full story at Richmond-News.com

Three-digit crisis line needed: Council be implemented in the U.S. in 2022.

Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city council is pushing higher levels of government to have a national three-digit suicide prevention number — 988. This could replace the many regional 10-digit suicide help lines. “We know when someone is having a mental health crisis, they need help now — they don’t need to ﬁgure out where the blue pages are in their telephone book,” said Coun. Alexa Loo, who initiated the motion at council. The federal government has already unanimously supported the creation of the 988 suicide prevention line, and the 988 service will

The motion was supported unanimously by council at Monday’s committee meeting, and it will come back to next week’s council meeting with more information. Crisis numbers: Foundry Richmond (ages 12-24): 604-6740550 Child/youth mental health intake (under 19 years): 604-279-1188 Mental health intake (ages 19+): 604-2041111 Chimo Crisis Line (8 a.m. to midnight every day): 604-279-7070 Crisis line (24 hours): 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800784-2433)

Cleanup granted a month After “substantial” progress was done to clean up a residential property in the South Arm area, Richmond city council gave the owner another month to ﬁnish cleaning it. The owner’s son, Edward Wong, appealed an order to clean up the property or have it cleaned up by the city. He told the Richmond News he was “determined” to clean it up. Prior to the hearing before council, city staff went to the property and documented what work had been done. “There’s been substantial progress towards compliance especially from the pictures taken last Wednesday,” Carli Williams, manager of bylaws, told council at the hearing. But there were still about a dozen pallets, garbage and three derelict vehicles, explained Williams. These are the items that need to be

removed as well as a container that’s in the front yard. The container, however, is a zoning issue and to force its removal, the city would have to go through provincial court. The item was adjourned until July 19. “You made some suggestion on what you’re going to do between now and (July 19), and my hope is that the kind of progress we’ve seen in the last 10 days is mirrored in the progress in the next few weeks,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie told Wong at the meeting. “I promise I’ll work very hard,” Wong told council after the decision was made. Coun. Carol Day voted against the adjournment. — Maria Rantanen/Richmond News

SUVs cruise on path through Paulik Park Club president worries about safety after vehicles seen driving on pedestrian pathway. Photo submitted

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Rarely a day goes by that Paulik Park isn’t lovingly attended to by members of the Richmond Gardening Club — its ornamental plum trees and perennial ﬂowers are particular points of pride. So, it was “very, very upsetting” that three large SUVs were seen cruising down the park’s pedestrian pathways where they could have easily injured someone, said Lynda Pasacreta, the club’s chair. “This is a family park,” said Pasacreta. “They’re driving right on a pathway used by visitors to the park, and a lot of those visitors are young families. So it’s just unacceptable…It’s just not using common sense — or you don’t care.” The incident happened around 7:30 p.m.

there for a party of about 40 people, who not only drove through the park, but left their mess behind. She added that it looked like a tent was jammed into the park garbage can, which was also surrounded by bags of trash. last Tuesday. Luckily, one of the garden club’s younger volunteers was at the park at the time and was able to snap photos of the cars and their licence plates and alerted Pasacreta to the incident. Pasacreta said she heard the cars were

While there wasn’t any damage to the park, someone could have been injured, particularly considering one of the cars appeared to back in, she added. “This was a newly seeded lawn, and there’s gardens edging all along that path. There are old ornamental plum trees and fruit trees, and it’s just ﬁlled with perennial ﬂowers. It’s just not meant to drive into,”

she said.

The photos of the cars were passed along to the City of Richmond, said Pasacreta, adding the garden club will continue to work to educate and connect with Richmondites about the park and how to treat it. City spokesperson Clay Adams conﬁrmed that the city was notiﬁed about the incident, and is “concerned that some individuals would feel they can randomly bring a vehicle into a public park without permission.” However, Adams said there’s little the city can do unless staff are on-site at the time. People are encouraged to contact the city should they see something like this, or call Richmond RCMP if there’s a risk to public safety and/or damage to property. City staff will also monitor Paulik Park more closely, Adams added, particularly after hours, to ensure such actions are not repeated.

Wat: AG Eby helped fuel racism Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Teresa Wat, MLA for Richmond North Centre, criticized Attorney General David Eby for fueling hatred towards the Chinese-Canadian community through a 2015 housing report. In 2015, researcher Andy Yan, who is now the director of SFU’s City Program, published the results of a housing study based on data obtained by Eby. The report found that of the 172 real estate sales examined in Vancouver’s high-end west side, two-thirds were bought by people with non-Anglicized Chinese names. Eby later said he regretted his role in the study, but noted that its aim was to answer the most commonly asked questions at the time: where is the money that is fueling the housing market coming from, and why are housing prices so disconnected from local incomes? In fact, in July 2015, Eveline Xia held a rally at Vancouver Public Library calling on governments to “Give us the data” on foreign ownership and capital. “At the time, I was in opposition as the housing critic. Several times, I asked Teresa Wat’s colleagues in cabinet to track who was buying homes, how many homes were empty, and why people seemed to be paying so much more than local salaries could support,” Eby wrote in an email to the News. Yan was simply answering those ques-

tions the BC Liberal government refused to answer, Eby added.

However, Wat said she doesn’t think Eby’s apology is sincere and accuses him of contributing toward anti-Asian hate. “I think whatever he did is leading to the anti-Asian racism sentiments. Since the study was widely reported, everyone thought of it as our Bible,” said Wat. This led many to believe, “Chinese-Canadians are (the) culprits in (B.C.’s) rising house prices,” she added. “Now, when an Asian family moves into a nice neighourhood, people will think the mother is a big mansion housewife while the father is working in China. Some working-class Chinese-Canadians have never contributed to the skyrocketing housing prices in B.C., but they still face racism and are perceived as foreign buyers.”

ing market, and there was a complex set of circumstances that was driving it. However, to score cheap political points, the NDP decided to fear monger, using foreign buyers as a scapegoat for all that ailed the housing market. The Attorney General was even instrumental in the work of a 2015 study on housing that has since been revealed to have an incredibly ﬂawed methodology that is widely considered to be racist.”

I think whatever he did is leading to the antiAsian racism sentiments.

MLA Wat’s comments came after Vancouver-Langara B.C. Liberal MLA Michael Lee introduced a motion earlier last week condemning anti-Asian racism.

In his motion, Lee referred to a Bloomberg article proclaiming Vancouver the anti-Asian hate crime capital of North America. He then segued into the topic of rising house prices in B.C. over the past few years. “B.C. was grappling with a hot hous-

Eby wasn’t in the legislature to defend himself when Lee put forward his motion, but Yan told the Richmond News that it’s unfortunate to see the 2015 research now being “politicized.”

“The study was meant to bring about actions on how to build a transparent and accountable housing system in this TERESA WAT global economy. This type of research isn’t pointing ﬁngers (at any group) but (aims) to create a better and more inclusive thing for all, including ChineseCanadians,” said Yan, stressing that the Chinese-Canadian community is as affected by the unaffordable housing market as everyone else. Also in his email to the News, Eby added that monitoring and stopping speculation in the housing market is what MLAs

should do to give families from all backgrounds a chance to compete on a level playing ﬁeld, which is exactly what he has done.

Eby said because Teresa Wat and her colleagues refused to collect data at the time or even admit there was any cause for concern, he worked with several academic researchers, including Yan, to try to answer those concerns. “In June of 2016, the BC Liberal government finally did collect this housing data. Teresa Wat and her colleagues confirmed Mr. Yan’s findings and more. The government data said that in just one month between June and July 2016, 13.2 per cent of the real estate transactions across Metro Vancouver, worth $1B, were paid for with international money. The BC Liberal government was so alarmed that they called an emergency session of the legislature that same month to pass the new Foreign Buyer Tax law,” read the statement, adding that Wat also supported the foreign buyer tax. “And despite all this, I will not level the same allegations of fueling racism towards Teresa Wat or Mike DeJong as they have levelled against me.” The Asian community isn’t the problem here, added Eby. Those who blame the Asian community are the problem. “We must always speak out against it (anti-Asian hate.) Every politician should be united against racism. It should be a non-partisan issue...and we need to fight that racism,” said Eby.

HAPPY CANADA DAY! SUMMER UPDATE As we head into the summer and more British Columbians are receiving their vaccines every day, our days ahead are looking brighter in more ways than one. I myself was lucky enough to get my second shot recently—a relief for me and my elderly mother who I am looking after. As we look forward with cautious optimism to a world that is slowly reopening, I would like to thank the people of Richmond for everything they have done to keep our families, businesses, and communities safe. It is crucial that we don’t forget that our work is not done yet. Now is the time for us to double down and ensure we continue to follow health orders so that our communities and our province can safely reopen as soon as possible. I encourage everyone to get their COVID vaccine as soon as possible, because the sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner we will see a return to normal.

Richmond Hospital Foundation’s virtual Joyful Giving Celebration, honouring donors who give to build a healthier Richmond

I know many of us may not be celebrating this Canada Day the way we are used to— for a second time—but I truly hope you all ﬁnd a way to safely celebrate with friends and family. I know that I will be spending it in my backyard or in a park with members of my family. I have high hopes that this time next year, we will be able to celebrate July 1 and our many other celebrations as we used to. Throughout the pandemic, Richmondites have been supporting our healthcare system in more ways than one. Despite facing incredible obstacles like COVID-19 and delays in the business plan approval from the BC Government, the Richmond Hospital Foundation has worked tirelessly, and has now raised $50 million dollars for the Richmond Acute Care Tower through their ACT NOW fundraising campaign. This amazing milestone would not have been possible without the incredible contributions from our community and its many members. This initiative will bring much-needed additional healthcare services and supports to the people of Richmond.

Receiving my second dose of COVID vaccine

The B.C. Legislature will be returning in the fall. In the meantime, I am looking forward to spending the summer connecting with my constituents to learn more about the issues that matter to them, bring their concerns to Victoria, and hold this government to account to ensure they help deliver the changes we want to see in our neighbourhoods.

‘Sombre’ Canada Day planned Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, for the second year in a row, Richmondites are being invited to a “Canada Day at Home” event, with online programming organized by the City of Richmond and the Steveston Salmon Festival Society.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Canada Day events in Richmond are online for the second year running with the in-person July 1 Salmon Festival cancelled.

This will include live-streamed programming and online displays, starting at 10 a.m. with a digital parade.

Unlike other cities, like Victoria, for example, that are cancelling all their celebrations, Richmond is still going ahead, but the city is taking a “much more sombre (approach) because recent events have shown we have to be reﬂective of Canada’s history and (be) respectful,” said city spokesperson Clay Adams. He added many municipalities are considering what is “most appropriate and respectful” given the recent revelation of what may be unmarked graves of 215 children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. The Steveston Salmon Festival is traditionally one of the biggest Canada Day celebrations in the Lower Mainland, attracting up to 80,000 people

The parade is streamable via the City of Richmond’s YouTube channel or the Steveston Salmon Festival website. There will be a welcome message from Mayor Malcolm Brodie, “O Canada” sung by the all-female Richmond Singers choir and then the digital parade featuring virtual “ﬂoats” made by local businesses and organizations.

Online Canada Day events include a “most patriotric pet” parade. Photo submitted with parades, concerts and a salmon barbecue.

Residents can also take part in the “digital home parade” by featuring their Canada Day-themed displays on Instagram. There will be three categories: a digital children’s bike parade, most patriotic pet and best decorated home/vehicle/business.

In addition, a Canada Day at Home Horticulture Show is being planned. The horticultural Instagram competition is wide open for gardening creations made by Richmond gardeners. Judges will choose the ﬁnalists but the winners will be selected in a public poll during the ﬁrst week of July. There will be additional programming available starting July 1 on the Steveston Salmon Festival website and @FunRichmond social media channels. This programming includes a presentation about the history of the JapaneseCanadian community in Steveston; a presentation on the history of salmon and canning in B.C. and the key role played by the Gulf of Georgia Cannery; and performances by local artists, musicians and more on a Virtual Mainstage. To learn how to participate in this year’s online programming, including the Digital Parade, go to www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca or follow @FunRichmond on social media.

Drum roll looks to break world record

This year’s Canada Day celebrations may be a little quieter, but Richmondites are encouraged to ﬁnd another way to mark the country’s birthday — by joining a free virtual drumming event. The goal is to get as many people as possible to perform a drum roll online at the same time to break a world record, according to the Legacy 150 Celebrations Society.

A virtual drum roll will take place July 1. Photo submitted

For the past three years, the Vancouverbased non-proﬁt dedicated to deepening intercultural understanding and promoting patriotism, has invited people from 28 cities to hit their drums hard and loud at 10 a.m. on Canada Day. The event was forced to move online last year after the pandemic hit. However, Richard Wong, the society’s national chair, said moving online makes the event more fun and inclusive, since more

“Even though we can’t be together in person, we could still share our happiness and pride as being a Canadian and celebrate the Canadian values,” said Wong, adding participants could also get a chance to break a Guinness World Record this year.

Wong said they’ve launched an initiative this year for “Most People performing a Drum Roll Online Simultaneously,” which anyone is welcome to join. This year’s event has already attracted drummers from more than 60 cities across Canada. Ofﬁcial adjudicator Michael Empric said it’s “no easy task” to get a Guinness World Record title.

Let’s all, each and every one of us, be united in our efforts for reconciliation and against racism. Together we can create a kinder, gentler future for everyone.

A Steveston historical site has decided to close on July 1 to ensure its staff and community members stay safe this upcoming Canada Day.

According to Horita, the cannery saw 6,000 visitors at its facility during the 2019 Canada Day celebrations — the last time it was open before COVID-19 hit. She added that the cannery team always enjoys seeing the community visit and celebrate the day in Steveston, but the safety of the public is their main priority. “The Cannery crew wishes everyone a happy and safe Canada Day, and we hope to celebrate together in 2022.” The Steveston Salmon Festival is traditionally one of the biggest Canada Day celebrations in the Lower Mainland, attracting up to 80,000 people with parades, concerts and a salmon barbecue.

Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

This year’s Canada Day celebrations will be slightly different as most events are going virtual and some cities are even considering cancelling celebrations all together in light of the recent potential discovery of the remains of 215 children at a former residential school in Kamloops. However, a group of Richmond Taiwanese Canadians is still determined to ﬁnd a way to say “happy birthday” to the nation. Richmondite Shelley Kuo and her team from the local Tzu Chi Foundation, a Buddhist humanitarian organization, will clean up Richmond neighourhoods, including Gilbert Beach and Richmond Minoru Park. “It’s no secret that Canadians are very creative and caring about society and Mother Nature. Although no ofﬂine events are going on this year, we are still hoping to celebrate the beauty of the country that we live in and create some unique memories with our friends, families and community members,” said Kuo.

“Picking up garbage is a great way to bring people closer within a few minutes. Sometimes, we even have passersby stop to join us. After spending an hour hanging out together, we would end the event by sitting down to share some stories, jokes and snacks,” added Kuo. “We might not know each other, we might speak different languages and come from different walks of life, but it doesn’t matter after all because our hearts have grown closer.”

I reached my goal and I will be donating 100 blankets to Richmond long-term care homes and BC Children’s Hospital’s Ronald McDonald house.” To help her campaign, go to YouTube and search “Maria Coletsis blankets.”

Guitarist Coletsis was the one who thought of the name Thor when the high school rock band formed back in the ‘70s, along with bass player Brad Kilburn and drummer Martin Tanaka. The band was a ﬁxture at the city’s high school dance circuit and at Steveston Salmon Festivals across two decades before they eventually went their separate ways.

Court overturns Joint Tenancy (what’s on the title ain’t the full story) Introduction In B.C., a title showing any particular person(s) as owner(s) is allowed to be relied on as accurate. Our system of land registration (the Torrens system) permits this, so that the system has credibility and can function day to day. It was not always like that but the system has evolved well. Still, our law has in the past decade or so, changed. The system of land registration we have remains. However, in my opinion, Courts will now to a greater extent, look behind title in certain cases, in order to find what other interests persons may have in any particular property. That is so whether or not the person is registered as an owner on title. One of the critical aspects of such a legal investigation is the issue of the intent a person might have in choosing how to show ownership on title. That is paramount in cases where parents and children are registered owners of property. Earlier this month, in a case called McMaster Estate v. McMaster, such an investigation was done. This is a case to consider, perhaps even in your own Estate planning. Facts The deceased died in late 2015 at age 84. She was the surviving spouse in a long marriage and she is survived by four adult children. The family lived for many years in West Vancouver but the deceased, with one of her four children (the defendant), ultimately moved to the Sunshine Coast and purchased a home there. Title was registered as a Joint Tenancy in the names of the deceased and the defendant adult son. The son was not in a relationship and had no children. He was not steadily employed most of his adult life, according to the reasons for judgment. He did live with the deceased and over many years, looked after her and assisted her with essential things, including taking her to medical appointments and doing the grocery shopping. The deceased did not make a Will. The Plaintiff, another of the deceased’s children, made application for Letters of Administration (which is similar to an application for a grant of Probate, but where there is no Will). The deceased’s Estate consisted mainly of her interest in the Sunshine Coast home. There was a modest bank account also. The intending Administrator launched action, in order to seek a Court Order determining whether the title represented a “true” joint tenancy. If the Court determined that a joint tenancy existed, then the defendant registered on title would become sole owner of the home. If not a joint tenancy, the home would become part of the Estate and under B.C. intestacy rules, all the four children would inherit and share equally in its value. The home was assessed most recently at approximately $1 million. It seemed clear in the reasons that the defendant, registered on title, did not have good relations with all his siblings. In the reasons, there were stated various instances where the siblings’ telephone calls to the deceased were not returned (and the defendant may have had something to do with that) and some of the children were prevented by the defendant from visiting the deceased. Court’s decision The Court conducted an exhaustive look into the family dynamics, the documents that were available (not many, frankly), decisions that were made by the deceased and the defendant, and concluded that the deceased did not have the intention to gift her interest in the property to the defendant. As a result, the joint tenancy was dissolved and the Sunshine Coast property was transferred to the deceased’s Estate, to be divided equally among the four children. The Court noted that no Deed of Gift was made and, significantly, no Will was made. The deceased was not given any legal advice (the property on the Sunshine Coast was purchased using a Notary, rather than a Lawyer). There were some comments made by the deceased, which came into evidence at the Trial but they were insufficient for the Court to conclude an intention on the part of the deceased to gift the property to the defendant. The Court felt that the deceased was not sophisticated. The Court found that the defendant was not malicious and he did look after his Mother, though there seemed to be some shortcomings over the years of his living with her and the Court did find undue influence on the deceased by the defendant (at one point the Court said “I need not find (defendant’s) actions to be malicious or reprehensible to establish undue influence”). The Court noted, for example, that a gift note was made with respect to the property that was signed by the deceased but it appears that the defendant wrote it out, and there were errors made with respect to the date it was made and the content of the gift note caused the Court some concerns. Conclusion This case was, in a sense, a story of family dynamics. One of the key takeaways is, I suggest, that when a person buys a property and is deciding how to register ownership on title, their intention is most important. Where more than one person will become registered owner, try to think it through. Documenting it would be prudent (not to mention making a Will also) because documents establish that intention, if there is doubt later on. In this case, the deceased may have wanted the defendant to have the house but her intention in that regard was very unclear. It’s become a cliché, but planning these things helps.

Grads cross COVID-safe stages

four-door Nissan Versa Note. She was so excited, she lost her voice shouting for joy.

“It was a very surreal moment,” she said.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The car was donated by Applewood in a joint effort of three departments: the sales department donated the trade-in — which had only 80,000 kilometres on it — the parts department donated parts to ﬁx it up and a senior mechanic donated his time to recondition the car.

For the second year in a row, COVID-19 has curtailed graduation ceremonies, depriving many students of this normal rite of passage. But high schools across Richmond once again rejigged their grad formats, many of them streaming them online after prerecording grads walking across a stage to receive their Dogwoods.

Applewood has been involved with the school in different ways — doing Breakfast with Santa and helping with food drives.

Burnett secondary spent two days this past weekend ﬁlming their students in caps and gowns, and they plan to stream it Thursday for grads and their families to watch.

But, given the extraordinary circumstances around the COVID-19 pandemic, the dealership wanted to step it up a notch, explained general manager Leon Cheliadin.

But some schools cancelled traditional celebrations, for example, McMath secondary cancelled its grad boat cruise and prom — something McMath 2021 grad Jasmine Veilleux missed doing — but made up for it with some smaller group activities.

“We wanted something more substantial, a little more sizeable, a little bigger impact, for the graduating class, knowing it’s been a really difﬁcult year, couple years, for graduating students,” he said.

Grad events included making tie-dyed Tshirts and doing a photo scavenger hunt. And their ceremony was also pre-recorded and streamed online. “It was well done and I enjoyed the speeches and students’ stories. I honestly didn’t mind chilling at home watching the video instead of attending a live ceremony at the Chan Centre,” said Veilleux. She added graduating feels “liberating” and she’s ready to move on to new adventures. “It was a fun ride but I’m looking forward to having more independence and for whatever comes next,” she said about her high school experience. Future plans include attending UBC in the fall to study psychology.

Cambie grad Isabella Sousa, here with her mother Julie Sousa, got a car for a grad gift. Photo Maria Rantanen McMath grad Jasmine Veilleux (below, second from right, with graduating friends) said she missed not having a prom and grad cruise. Photo submitted

Sousa said the car will get her to work this summer — she is working at summer camps at City Centre Community Centre — and then to school in the fall when she starts her bachelor’s degree in arts at UBC. Search COVID-safe stages for photo gallery of 2021 grad pictures at Richmond-News.com

and opportunities,” Robinson said. Meanwhile, at Cambie secondary, a special grad prize was donated by Applewood Auto Group, a Richmond dealership that has been doing a variety of events with the school for a couple years. While some grads received cards and ﬂowers, others scholarships — Cambie 2021 grad Isabella Sousa couldn’t believe her luck when she received a car to mark this milestone.

In a statement to the Richmond News, Richmond school superintendent Scott Robinson extended his “sincere congratulations” on behalf of the Richmond School District to this year’s grads.

Cambie secondary Grade 12 students were asked to write an essay about what it would mean to get a car upon graduation.

“After 13 years of hard work and personal growth, our graduates are standing on the threshold of exciting new pathways

Sousa was watching the ceremony from home at her dinner table when she heard she had won the car — a 2015 sky-blue

The school staff then vetted the essays and drew a name from a couple dozen ﬁnalists.

Cyclists of all ages can now practice their skills at a new bike park in Richmond.

It’s designed for cyclists of all ages and abilities and includes a variety of features, such as an asphalt pump tracker with beginner, intermediate and advanced ride lines, several ladder bridges and other technical obstacles.

The 0.2-hectare Railway Granville Bike Park, at 5000 Granville Ave. near Railway Avenue, opened last Fri-

and technical obstacle is also located at the two entry points.

Visitors can also find boulders at each entrance, which can be used as informal seating, hangout points and a place to lean bikes. The city previously launched a public consultation in February to ask residents to share their thoughts on the bike park’s final design, and the finished park incorporates many of the comments and ideas received. The bike park can be accessed by bike from the Railway Greenway or by bike lanes and transit along Granville and Railway avenues. The park’s location is also close to public washrooms and other sport facilities, including a skateboard park, and basketball courts at Thompson Community Centre and J.N. Burnett secondary. The city added that final adjustments to the asphalt surfacing will be made and painted ride lines and vegetation will be installed.

Richmond elementary students are being lauded for their part in the record participation in the Butterflyway citizen science project. Almost 800 students and teachers from more than 50 schools participated in “BioBlitz” earlier this month. Representing 52 schools across B.C., the students from Thetis Island, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, Richmond, Vancouver, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Comox, Surrey and Burnaby used iPads and notepads to photograph and record key information about local wild pollinator populations. With guidance from their teachers, the students organized the data, made butterfly- and bee-themed artwork, dressed up as pollinators and joined a BioBlitz wrap-up party on Friday, June 4. The Butterflyway BioBlitz took place the week after the discovery of an unmarked burial site containing 215 students of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. To honour and remember the young Indigenous children who died attending the school, Mitchell elementary in Richmond pinned 215 orange ribbons on their native plant holders. According to event organizers, David Suzuki Foundation, Mitchell and Anderson elementaries in Richmond “both contributed hugely in our Citizen Science school BiioBlitz. “Anita Lau and Anne-Marie Fenn are the teachers who have made a huge difference. “Anne-Marie Fenn brought together 200 students from Anderson Elementary to participate in the Butterfly BioBlitz.” The David Suzuki Foundation’s B.C. Butterflyway Citizen Science work is guided by a small group of dedicated Butterflyway Rangers, UBC students and scientists.

Happy Canada Day!

Skateboarders in east Richmond are making do with a makeshift skate park. They say they are moved along every time they ﬁnd a place to work on their skills. Maria Rantanen photo

PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

Skaters forced to make their own fun Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Mitchell Elementary students really wish there was a skatepark in east Richmond.

Skateboarders often ride on the road and see stair sets, ledges and ramps as challenges to overcome.

Not having a skateboard facility in east Richmond causes the “classic skateboard problem,” Field said.

But at the moment, they have a makeshift one – with ramps and obstacles they built with their teacher – and they meet in their school parking lot three times a week.

“Everywhere you go you get in trouble,” he added.

Earlier this year, Zaki Merbah and Tobey Soliven, both in Grade 7 at Mitchell elementary, wrote essays advocating for a skatepark close to where they live.

“You get kicked out (of many places) which is why we need a skatepark,” he said.

Their teacher at the time, Joel Field, was so impressed with their arguments, he stepped up and created a school skate club. Field hadn’t been on a board much himself since his early twenties. Tobey said skateboarding is a “great pastime to get my mind off things.” Some of the tricks he’s mastered so far are ollies, front shove-its and kickflips – the last one it took a “solid year” to learn, but in the end, his determination saw him through. “(It required) technique and, for myself, commitment because I couldn’t get the courage to commit,” Tobey said. Tobey said he still wants to learn treflips, heelflips and back-threes. Having the skateboard club at Mitchell elementary saves him the long drive to readybuilt facilities in west Richmond. “I really appreciate how we got to build our own obstacles, so we don’t have to go the skatepark all the time,” Tobey said.

This is echoed by Zaki, the other student who wrote about skateboarding.

In addition to building their own obstacles, the club got help from a skateshop in Vancouver, Anti-Social, which donated six fully equipped boards and gave them eight helmets at cost. Skateboarding isn’t an easy sport and every little thing that the kids learn is a victory, Field said. “If you can find proficiency in skateboarding, you can find proficiency in almost anything,” he added. Field started skateboarding in Grade 8 and continued until his early twenties. Inspired by his students, he has picked up a board again, now in his late thirties. Learning to skateboard is a long process and it involves a lot of falling and getting back up. “Every time you find a new trick, it’s like levelling up,” Field said. Skateboarding, however, is more than just a sport – it’s a sense of identity, belonging and community, he added.

Paige Mueller had just received an email congratulating her on receiving the Law Society of B.C.’s gold medal from Thompson River University (TRU). “My mom was away from her phone at the time; when I ﬁnally got through and told her the news she was very happy, and I was just in a state of shock,” said Mueller. The Law Society of B.C.’s gold medal is awarded to graduating law students from the University of British Columbia, University of Victoria and TRU who achieved the highest cumulative grade point average over their respective three-year programs. Mueller is one of 19 medal winners celebrating Thompson Rivers University’s convocation this year and the recipient of the gold medal.

30 Years

Paige Mueller won the gold medal from Thompson River University. “I was also surrounded by very brilliant people so learning the news was shocking, but I am also so grateful for the opportunities that I was given,” she added. The Steveston-London alumnus told the Richmond News that her interest lies in litigation law, which is the law of dispute. “It’s the idea of solving a puzzle and coming up with a solution for a client and advocating for them that interests me the most.” After graduation, Mueller will article at Fasken LLP in Vancouver before clerking at the BC Supreme Court.

VALIQUETTE, Marguerite December 03, 1926 − June 05, 2021

SHAW, Donald E. 1934−2021

Marguerite Valiquette passed away on Saturday, June 5, in Richmond, BC, at the age of 94. She spent the last weeks of her life surrounded by the large family she loved so much and so well. Marguerite was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Arthur Paul Valiquette; her grandson, Jaden Kerr; and her siblings, Marie, Isabel, James, and Robert. She is survived by her seven children, Michele, Michael (Linda), Joanne (Ira), Teresa (James), Darlene, Daniel (Lori), and Ronna−Lee (Dave); her 20 grandchildren, and her 20 great− grandchildren. Marguerite also leaves her sister, Alice Ellis; her sisters−in−law, Margaret Synnott and Shirley Valiquette; and many nieces and nephews. Marguerite was born in Euphrasia, Grey County, Ontario, on December 3, 1926, the second daughter of Margaret Ferry and Otto Foy, and grew up with her five brothers and sisters on the family farm near Markdale. Marguerite studied nursing at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Guelph Ontario, graduating as an RN in 1950. A year later Marguerite married Art and embarked on the grand partnership that would endure more than six decades. They went west; they grew a family there, they danced, and they danced some more. They became intrepid travellers − crisscrossing the country, and the province, multiple times, often with children and grandchildren in tow. Later they cruised. Marguerite laughed readily, often at herself and her misadventures. She was truly interested in others, loved conversation, and was adept at the arts of both the quick comeback and the long and winding phone call. We will miss her so very, very deeply. Private service June 18th at 11 am. St. Joseph the Worker Church, Richmond, BC. Condolences can be left at myalternatives.ca. Livestream information is available from Mike at; mvaliquette@telus.net. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to S.O.S. Children’s Society of British Columbia, CNIB or charity of your choice.

Don passed away May 22, 2021, in the comfort of his own home. Born in Saskatoon, he moved to Richmond with his family at age nine and remained in the family home in Burkeville for 78 years. He was predeceased by his wife, Lorraine; and his brothers, Bob and Glen. He is survived by his daughter, Brenda (Wade); son, Ray (Line); and grandchildren, Madeleine and Joseph. After retiring from teaching high school in Surrey he enjoyed reading newspapers daily, crossword puzzles, building RC model airplanes and biking. He was proud of his garden and enjoyed giving treats to all the birds and animals in the neighbourhood. He will be dearly missed by family, friends, and neighbours.

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.
