Taxpayers won’t foot EV bill Dear Editor, Re: “Who pays for power?” and “EVs drain electricity,” Letters, Aug. 5.

The City of Richmond instituted fees for EV charging at its charging stations effective March 1, 2020 as reported in the News “Fees come to Richmond city EV charging stations,” Jan. 14, 2020. Taxpayers can relax. The EV owners are paying, not taxpayers. Bob Garnett asks about the increased load on the power grid from all the EV charging. Over 80 per cent of EV charging is done at home overnight. EVs have charging timers that control when the EV begins charging. Our members set their timers to begin charging after midnight when demand on the power grid is extremely low and there is plenty of capacity for EV charging. We have asked the B.C. government to require all EV dealers to set the timers on new vehicles to charge after midnight, but in the absence of that, purchasers have to set the timer themselves.

Dismayed by Take a fast EV negativity stroll down Dear Editor, Re: “Who pays for power?” and “EVs drain electricity,” Letters, Aug. 5. I’m a little dismayed by the negative letters submitted regarding the charging of electric vehicles. B.C. has an abundance of clean and cheap power available and the drain on this power by electric vehicles is roughly equivalent to the power used when we heat household water, use stoves to cook dinner or air conditioners to cool our homes or using a clothes dryers. It also uses far less power than a hot tub demands. As for whether drivers are being subsidized at charging stations, the short answer is, no. Charging stations beneﬁt us all and are only used in rarity as over 90 per cent of all charging of vehicles is done at home where the price of electricity is a fraction of what it is at stations.

‘Dunfee Way’ Dear Editor, Re: “Walking feat,” News, Aug. 12. We watched with tears in our eyes as Evan Dunfee somehow gathered strength from the depth of his being to walk an amazing last kilometre to his bronze medal ﬁnish. Like many people in Richmond, we have seen Evan putting in countless hours on our paths and streets as he trained for his event. Could the city consider naming the Railway Avenue path after Evan? It would be a ﬁtting tribute to a young man of great character and endurance! “The Dunfee Walkway”?

No vaccine for ignorance and bad manners Dear Editor,

As a very vulnerable senior I have had to adhere to home isolation during the pandemic to a degree most other people would not acquiesce to. But after my second inoculation I began to venture out in Richmond beyond my home to, among other things, see for myself what the “new normal” is that many people are talking about. Well, after driving the roads and visiting many stores throughout Richmond, I have concluded that there are several aspects of life in this city that remain “old-normal” even as some other things might have changed over the last 18 months. I saw that the relative ratios of kind, polite, considerate people and arrogant, selfcentred, inconsiderate, rude people in the general population don’t appear to have changed at all. If there are any changes in relation to such attitudes and behaviours that I can perceive it is that the people who tended to be either kind, considerate, and

City of Richmond

polite, or rude, self-centred, and inconsiderate before the pandemic seem to be more so now.

I have always been guided by the old principle “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” so I can do nothing but celebrate and respect those who are polite and altruistic in their relations with others, and disrespect those self-centred individuals who have steadfastly refused to learn any lessons about magnanimity, civility, and humanitarianism during our shared experiences of trying to cope with this pandemic crisis. But, as a former teacher, I learned over and over again that the world is made up of learners and non-learners, and that the learners were not only a pleasure to be around and work with, but they are the ones who are most likely to make a positive contribution to our society — unlike the nonlearners who just make life uncomfortable for others.

Councillor apologizes for gardens remark Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond food group defends community garden’s appearance?”, Richmond-News. com, July 9. During my many years on city council, I have always supported and advocated for community gardens across Richmond. At a recent meeting, I used an unfortunate choice of words regarding the appearance of the Moncton Community Gardens. My comment was due to frustration in the discussion about the need for improvements to the city’s Community Gardens Program. I regret my choice of words and openly and sincerely apologized for my comment at a recent committee meeting.

Community gardens such as this one in Richmond are muchloved by residents. numerous community gardens that are not only strongly supported and well maintained, but have a long wait list of interested users. We need more community gardens throughout our city and I will continue to do what I can to make that happen.

8-lane tunnel, not bridge, to replace tube lives but it’s also our province’s and economy’s critical artery in the infrastructure,” Chiu told the Richmond News.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A new 8-lane immersed tube tunnel will cost $4.15 billion and is expected to be built by 2030, replacing the current George Massey crossing.

At Wednesday’s announcement, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said it’s been a “long journey” to get to this announcement, saying ﬁxing the crossing has been discussed since about 2006.

Construction is expected to begin in 2025 after a 3.5-year environmental assessment.

“This will ﬁnally move this project forward with the appropriate solution,” Brodie said.

In the meantime, improvements are being made to the Steveston interchange and other peripheral projects. Although the province has been in talks about funding with the federal government, there is, so far, no commitment from the federal government. “We certainly hope to get signiﬁcant federal contribution to this… the discussions we’ve had with the federal government have been very productive in this regard,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, at Wednesday’s announcement at Richmond City Hall.

Richmond mayor Malcolm Brodie was at an announcement, along with Transportation Minister Rob Fleming (background), about replacing the George Massey Tunnel.

Richmond city council was vociferously opposed to the previous BC Liberal government plan of a 10-lane bridge largely because it would have encroached on farmland and greenspace. Brodie added the new tunnel will play a “huge part” in moving goods and services around the region as well as getting employees to jobs. “This is important for the people of Richmond… the families of our city and for business and economic development,” Brodie said.

path and dedicated rapid bus lanes, the province has concluded future rail is not warranted for this transportation corridor and rather the focus will remain on transit.

“The rapid bus actually provides more flexibility to end destinations than a fixed rail line where (riders are) stranded to make a connection,” Fleming told the News. He added TransLink hasn’t identified this corridor for rail because the population of Ladner and White Rock won’t grow enough to support it. He pointed out rapid buses are also TransLink’s preferred option. After reviewing its business case looking at either building an eight-lane bridge or an eight-lane tunnel, the province decided on the latter to replace the current four-lane tunnel.

Vaccine sends man, 27, to hospital Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Being admitted to hospital was not on the agenda when Richmond’s Magnus Li got his second COVID-19 vaccine in July. Li, 27, was diagnosed with acute pericarditis (inﬂammation of the lining that surrounds the heart), a rare side effect of an mRNA vaccine — a week after receiving his second dose of the Moderna vaccine. In July, Li was happily sharing news about getting his second jab and feeling the soreness in his arm like everybody else. However, a week later, he was feeling “a bit off” and was in a lot of pain. “Laying on my bed pretty much caused me extreme pain when I was breathing,” said Li, adding that was when his parents got worried and took him to hospital. “When the (emergency) doctor saw me, they decided to admit me for one day.” Li told the Richmond News that he had his blood drawn and had about three ultra-

a rapid or abnormal heart rhythm.

“The two nurses told me that the colour had left my skin, and I just remember feeling super weak because I fell sideways onto my bed,” Li said.

“In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there have been a small number of reports of pericarditis or myocarditis following vaccination with a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine,” read the document.

“I had to get hooked up to an IV and they had to give me oxygen.”

Magnus Li had to be admitted to Richmond Hospital after getting his second COVID vaccine dose. sound exams of his chest, but the doctor still “wasn’t sure what was going on” with him. “I wasn’t afraid, nervous or worried since I knew I was vaccinated, so being in the hospital wasn’t a big deal for me. But I really hate being in pain ultimately.” He was then given Advil and “another pill” and was taken upstairs to a temporary ward to rest before getting assigned a room for his stay. However, that was when he started feel-

Li was eventually told he was one of the rare cases where male adolescents and young adults are diagnosed with pericarditis or myocarditis after a second vaccine. BC Centre of Disease (BCCDC) explained that myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, and pericarditis, inflammation of the lining that surrounds the heart, can occur in response to an infection or some other trigger, in Li’s case, the COVID-19 vaccination. U.S. data analysis showed the estimated rate of heart inflammation happening after the second dose of an mRNA vaccine is 16 cases in a million (one in 62,500 cases), according to a document published by the BCCDC in June 2021. Symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis include shortness of breath, chest pain, or

Li was kept under watch at the hospital for four days and has since been discharged. He is expected to return to the hospital for another blood test next week and said he is ready to head back into work. COVID numbers on the rise again B.C.’s surge in new COVID-19 infections has evolved to include rising numbers of those in hospitals and intensive care units (ICU) with the disease. The most recent government data show that most new cases are in unvaccinated people, and that most British Columbians have been vaccinated. As of Wednesday, there were 111 British Columbians in hospitals with the disease, with 51 of those in ICU. Both of those metrics are the highest that they have been since June.

Thieves use pick-up truck to ram family’s front door not work properly.

Valerie Leung

But she said she would have made it a priority to ﬁx it if she knew other neighbours also experienced recent break and enters.

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Thieves attempted to rob a Richmond home by using a pick-up truck as a battering ram. Richmond resident Rhea Se and her family were sleeping on the second floor of their detached home near Francis and No. 3 roads last Thursday when she heard a “loud crashing” noise, which she originally thought was an awful nightmare. That is, until she heard another bang. “I knew the second time...that I wasn’t asleep and so I got up and went downstairs to the first floor and I saw a huge black pick-up truck right against my front door,” said Se.

Se told the Richmond News that the truck had damaged the frame and the bottom portion on one side of her wooden, double French doors.

Would-be theives used their truck to try to break into a family home in Richmond last week. “I was confused at ﬁrst and turned on all the lights in the house and outside and the truck then sped away.” While Se’s home has a front gate to her driveway that is normally closed, she said the gate was left open overnight because it would occasionally

“The security camera showed the truck slowly backing up against the door and then they hit the accelerator in an attempt to create maximum force with minimum sound,” she added. The Richmond resident is now in the process of forming a Block Watch Program, in a bid to minimize a repeat of last week’s brazen crime. The News has reached out to the RCMP for more information.

Minoru FOI could take another 6 months It could be another six months before the Richmond News ﬁnds out whether documents related to the construction of the Minoru Centre for Active Living will be made public.

The News requested the Ofﬁce of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) to conduct an inquiry into whether documents requested by the News about the project construction and its delays should be released, after the city withheld 3,865 pages.

Now that the city and the News have submitted their final arguments in the process — the city sent its final submission last week — it will take the adjudicator half a year to make a decision, according to the OIPC. When the News initially asked, during construction of the $84-million facility, why it was so far behind schedule, the city said it was because of labour shortages and the weather.

details, the News ﬁled a freedom-of-infor mation (FOI) request with the city in February 2019.

In July 2019, the city responded saying it was withholding virtually all the documents and cited “solicitor client privilege and litigation privilege.” However, the News wasn’t aware of any lawsuit at this time over the construction. It wasn’t until February 2020 that Stuart Olson, the construction contractor, sued the city for $7 million

over the project — the lawsuit is still working its way through the courts. The News then challenged the city’s withholding of the documents and requested an inquiry by the OIPC. In last week’s submission, the city’s lawyer argued “the City had reasonably contemplated that litigation would occur with Stuart Olson’s long before the claim was ofﬁcially ﬁled.” —Maria Rantanen/ Richmond News

Bus company caught in the middle help ﬁnd a new location and Academia also has its sights on a Vancouver location.

Maria Rantanen

O’Brien has already sold three buses, scrapped four and only has two on the road.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A complicated web of bylaws, provincial laws and a forgotten agreement has created an unfortunate chain of events at a Richmond church.

O’Brien said he wants enough time to rebuild the company as the economy opens up — and ﬁeld trips restart — and then he plans to sell it.

All of which has resulted in “collateral damage” for a private bus company which now needs to ﬁnd a new home.

School application brings zoning issue to forefront

The church is in breach of a 1992 expansion agreement with the ALC, which speciﬁcally stated a school is not allowed to operate in the church.

Academia Bus Company had until Sunday to remove its ﬂeet of buses from the back end of the Richmond Alliance Church, on No. 3 Road, just south of its intersection with Steveston Highway. The problems began to arise when church leaders tried to bring Noah’s Ark, a private school on its property, into compliance with the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). It transpired, however, that a 1992 agreement actually prohibited having a school at that location, which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). That’s when the authorities started to notice another apparent violation at the site, where the church and its paved parking lot take up the majority of the 2.5-acre property. Included in that new focus was the bus company, which has been storing its school buses for 15 years at the back end of the property on a gravel ﬁeld.

Bill O’Brien needs to ﬁnd a new location for his school buses. Maria Rantanen photo

This was brought to the attention of the school and church in 2018 by the ALC and they have been working to rectify the situation since then.

Their operations consist largely of ﬁeld trips for schools around the Lower Mainland, a business model devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, in the process of bringing the school into compliance, the city noticed the bus company was storing its buses at the back end of the property and informed the church this is not allowed in “assembly” zoning.

Owner/operator Bill O’Brien is hoping for more time, saying the cost of storing buses in permitted areas is costprohibitive.

The current pastor, Ron Redekop, said the church “gave our word” to the city that the bus company would be gone as part of the getting the school into compliance.

“We’re trying to comply, but we need more time,” O’Brien told the Richmond News.

“The bus company is a bit of collateral damage here as we were going through the process on (Noah’s Ark),” Redekop said.

After the deadline passed, however, the church offered to

Richmondite aims to change Chinese immigrants’ voting habits es,” said Wang.

Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s Chinese-speaking population is being asked to reconsider its voting habits, following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s early federal election call on the weekend. Richmond resident Ally Wang, a Chinese Canadian writer specializing in politics and social issues, has launched a non-partisan website aimed at tackling historically low voter turnout among the local Chinese community and questioning people who only vote for those who could speak their mother tongues. For example, the Richmond Centre riding — which boasts the highest percentage of Chinese-Canadian citizens in the province — had the lowest voter turnout in B.C. in 2015. Wang believes this needs to be changed immediately, adding that it’s vital for Chinese immigrants to participate in politics. “If you don’t care about elections and you never go to the polls, how can the Canadian government hear your voic-

In addition to increasing voter turnout, Wang aims to send another message out to the Chinese-speaking community — don’t cast a ballot simply because the candidate comes from the same cultural background as you. “Many Chinese immigrants are more inclined to vote for candidates who can speak their mother tongues or look Asian,” added Wang. “There are many reasons behind this, but the most important is they haven’t done enough research to understand each candidate’s platform, so they ‘play safe’ by doing so.” After talking with some community members, Wang found that language barriers do play a role in preventing many Chinese-speaking residents from participating in the democratic process, holding them back from understanding candidate platforms during the campaign cycle.

written in Chinese and cited from the Elections Canada website and credible English-language news sites, said Wang. “When most Chinese Canadian immigrants hang out together, the most discussed topic is how to get their children into an Ivy League school. Now we need to make them feel like talking about the upcoming elections and Canadian politics is fashionable,” said

Wang. “If you don’t talk about elections, you are outdated.” The website will still run, even when the election is over, stressed Wang. “New immigrants will come to Canada each year, and this website could be a great source to educate people about everything they need to know about elections,” said Wang.

Resident concerned about loss of UBC bus The provincial health ofﬁcers has also “not advised of any increased risk brought about by making a transfer on transit,” said Drews.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

She said that the 480 route remains suspended as it allows the transit authority to “put service where it’s needed most – on overcrowded routes.”

A Richmond resident says she’s concerned about the ongoing suspension of direct bus service to UBC with inperson classes set to resume in September.

“We are working to manage our current service levels within our existing resources and will continue to monitor when and where customers need service.”

The 480 bus, from Bridgeport Station to UBC, was suspended by TransLink at the start of the pandemic.

According to TransLink, even prior to the pandemic, the 480 hasn’t been a very busy route – for example, it ranked number 83 on the 2019 transit service performance review and was seeing an average of 4,060 weekly boardings.

The route allowed commuters from Richmond, as well as from other cities such as Delta, to use just one mode of transport out to the university from Richmond, said Freda Moraes, who works at the university. “Bus route 480 has been the mode of transport for many students and employees of UBC, not only those living in Richmond but from other cities as well,” Moraes said in an email to the Richmond News. Moraes, who has been taking the 480 bus to work “for the longest time,” said that on most school days, the bus was packed to full capacity, with passengers standing, particularly during peak hours. She said she reached out to TransLink about the suspension but was told that there were other routes available out to UBC, and that the transit authority had incurred major ﬁnancial losses due to the pandemic. But those other routes mean that transit users from Richmond now need to take multiple modes of transport, and, said Moraes, crowded trains and stations are a concern given COVID-19.

Bus 480 from Bridgeport Station to UBC was suspended at the start of the pandemic. Facebook photo “There is always fear of contracting COVID,” said Moraes. “Is it too much to ask for one mode of transport, especially during this pandemic? I shudder to think how crowded the trains and stations will be come September.” In a statement to the Richmond News, TransLink spokesperson Jill Drews said there are “good alternatives” that run all day and more frequently, for people travelling out to UBC from Richmond. Customers travelling from Richmond are encouraged to take the Canada Line to Oakrdige-41st Avenue Station and transfer to the R4 RapidBus, or to Broadway-City Hall Station and transfer to the 99 B-Line.

In comparison, Drews said, the top 20 busiest routes had between 15,000 and 57,000 average weekday boardings. Furthermore, while ridership is expected to continue to recover during the fall and into 2022, TransLink expects that some people who previously travelled on the Canada Line during peak hours will continue to work from home or use other modes of transport. “We expect there will now be enough capacity on the Canada Line for customers who previously travelled on the 480,” added Drews. However, while the 480 route remains suspended for the time being, no permanent decisions have been made, she said, adding that TransLink will monitor ridership levels and make changes based on where service is needed.

Richmond High’s ﬁnal graduating class to mark 69th reunion the 69-year reunion at the Newlands Golf Club in Langley.

While more of them are still around, the former students are scattered all over the place, Birch said, and it’s still a bit difﬁcult to travel at this time.

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A “few ancient memories” will be revived next month when some of Richmond High’s last alumni get together for their 69-year reunion.

“You think back 69 years, and you think, my goodness, the world was a different place.

“We’ve had a few reunions in the interim, so we’ve got used to the fact that we’re considerably older than when we graduated,” said 86-year-old Paul Birch, who attended Grades 11 and 12 at the school and was part of its ﬁnal graduating class of 1952. Richmond High was located at Cambie and Sexsmith roads from the late 1920s until 1952. “So we’ll see some of the old familiar faces and revive a few ancient memories.” That includes recollections of “teachers’ quirks and odd characters,” said Birch, such as one social studies teacher who was “an interesting but rather confused fellow.” “He’d get halfway through a class, of which he would be teaching English, and we’d say, you know, sir, this is supposed to be a social studies class… He was always subject to being victimized by the students.

“What seemed to be problems then were signiﬁcant, they were important to us, but looking back from a distance of almost seven decades, (it) doesn’t seem that those were very major difﬁculties.

tion, teaching in Ontario and, later, North Vancouver.

And, in “typical school behaviour,” students would also try to sabotage their science teacher’s experiments, Birch recalled.

“She was an upright and conscientious teacher. She probably inﬂuenced me more positively than some of the other teachers that I remember.”

There was also Miss MacWilliam, who taught Grade 12 English, and was one of the teachers whose inﬂuence encouraged Birch to pursue his own career in educa-

There were 99 students in Richmond High’s class of 1952, he said — 50 girls and 49 boys — although only about 15 of them, plus some spouses, will be attending

“So it’ll be good to meet the people who were part of that class, and I’m sure there will be a lot of old memories dug up, but there will also be some interesting gaps to ﬁll in between then and now... “People have been all over the place and done a great variety of things that we never would have predicted at the time of graduation,” he said. “So, we’re looking forward to it. I think it will be a happy connection…We enjoy contacting one another and just having a good time, ﬁnding out what’s happened in the interim.”

‘Two Michaels’ advocate honoured Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond human rights activist who spent the past two years advocating for the release of two Canadians detained in China has received an award from the Rotary Club of Richmond. Louis Huang received the Paul Harris Fellow recognition recently for his advocacy over the detention of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, who were taken into Chinese custody in December 2018 in a move widely regarded as retaliation for the arrest of Chinese tech executive Meng Wanzhou. On Aug. 11, a Chinese court sentenced Canadian businessman Spavor to 11 years in prison.

Louis Huang was recognized by the Rotary Club of Richmond. Submitted photo Huang, a member of Vancouver Chinese Human Rights Watch which has been critical of the Chinese government, said this “shocking decision should be seen as a retaliation against Canada for its arrest of Huawei telecoms execu-

ment.

“Spavor’s trial was held in March, but the Chinese court didn’t release the judgment until now when the extradition hearing of Meng Wanzhou entered a crucial stage in Canada. So this is another example of hostage diplomacy,” said Huang.

Meanwhile, Huang hopes the Rotary recognition could inspire other Canadians to step up to join the ﬁght for the freedom of the two Michaels.

“I am extremely concerned about our two Michaels’ condition in China. As a Canadian, I will keep speaking up for them as long as they are still imprisoned in China. The battle for freeing two detained Canadians will never end,” Huang continued. As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched a federal election campaign on the weekend, Huang stressed that the newly elected government should stay away from the Chinese govern-

Youth tackle racism via photos, ﬁlm Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmondite will launch an antiracism project this year, featuring young people talking about the beauty and power of multiculturalism. Teresa Hanul Seo, a UBC psychology student, will collaborate with other young adults to use photos and short ﬁlms to discuss the importance of cultural diversity in Metro Vancouver.

The project, scheduled to take place in a Richmond studio this week, aims to create conversations and hopefully inspire more people to join the ﬁght for racial equality, said Seo. “Although human beings go through different experiences, we are growing relatively in the same way. So sometimes we just need to put aside the prejudice and differences we see in others and focus on the fact that we are one,” said Seo.

“The recognition is like the icing on the cake to encourage me to keep going, but compared with lots of people who are advocating for democracy (in) China, I didn’t do that much,” said Huang. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was established in 1947 to show appreciation for people who made substantial contributions. Many other notable ﬁgures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, U.S. astronaut Jim Lovell and American virologist and medical researcher Jonas Salk, according to the Rotary Club’s website.

Meet Bella, the new robot serving diners shortage and help with social-distancing rules, but he didn’t expect that his Bella could also boost business.

Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

He said younger customers have been trying to interact with Bella, while many others snap photos and video of his new “staff member” hard at work.

A fairly new server has just joined the Hao’s Lamb Restaurant team in Richmond.

Liang Yu, president of Green Co Robots, told the Richmond News that many other local restaurants have invited robots to help them out during the busy season as the economy reopens from the pandemic slowdown.

And whether she’s in a mood, is rushed off her feet or unhappy about the tip, Bella will always have a smile on her face. That’s because Bella is a robot, complete with an upward-facing infrared camera and four trays, which she has been busy using to transport dishes to and from the kitchen to hungry diners at the restaurant near Aberdeen Centre.

One robot working at another Richmond hotpot restaurant has recorded that she has walked 10,000 metres and served up to 750 trays of dishes to customers within a day, said Yu.

Once Bella arrives at the table, another staff member helps her remove a dish from one of its trays. After which, the human staff member hits a conﬁrm button atop the robot’s touchscreen to send it back to the kitchen. “Although Bella just joined our team, she is super helpful. She allows other human staff to have time to concentrate on other tasks, such as packing takeout orders, greeting guests, clearing tables and reﬁlling water,” said Zhengwen Hao, restaurant owner.

Zhengwen Hao, manager/owner of Hao’s Lamb restaurant, joked that Bella is very hardworking and never complains. Nono Shen photo The restaurant “has been operating more efﬁciently than before. But, as such a hardworking employee, Bella never asks for any tips from me,” laughed Hao, adding that Bella can sing Happy Birthday to customers, in Mandarin and English.

The BellaBot, initially developed by Chinese-based Company Pudu Robotics, was introduced by GreenCo Robots to the North American market, including Richmond. Hao bought two Bellas amid the pandemic in hopes of easing up the labour

“Robots are a great way to liberate human staff from meaninglessly repetitive and laborious work, allowing them to focus on other more complicated and interesting work, such as talking with guests.” As for people concerned about the robots taking over from human servers, Yu said they are being introduced to help serve and make customers feel safer, with less human contact during the pandemic.

This will be Baxter’s first Business Excellence Awards since he took on his current role at the chamber earlier this year. Previously, he worked with the BC Chamber of Commerce. “I’m excited to get this opportunity now to be here in Richmond and to really look across…all the different businesses out there, with all the diversity that we have, and really trying to create an award ceremony that reflects that diversity, and just a great thriving business community that

With students heading back to school in a few weeks, a Richmond-based retailer is once again working to bridge the digital learning gap. London Drugs announced the return of its Tech Drive last week, as the company partners with Computers for Schools Plus (CFS+), a federal program that collects donated computers, and trains youth to refurbish them. The refurbished tech is then donated to schools, nonproﬁts, libraries, First Nations groups and students. “Last year London Drugs provided over 200 computers to students across Western Canada through our inaugural Tech Drive event,” said Nick Curalli, London Drugs vice-president of technology solutions. He noted that London Drugs has been recycling customers’ electronic devices for decades, some of which have still been in

working order. “Last year we discovered that not every family had access to necessary technology tools. By partnering with Computers for Schools Plus we were able to bring used but functional computers to families in need. “With more students returning to the classroom in person this year, we anticipate and hope to support an ongoing need for families to have access to technology for their schoolwork.” According to London Drugs, while laptops

are the most in-demand, desktops, tablets and mobile phones will also be accepted. However, donated devices do face some criteria. For example, screens can’t be cracked and power cords must be included. Devices that don’t meet the criteria will be recycled through London Drugs’ What’s the Green Deal program. London Drugs stores across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be accepting used computers as part of the Tech Drive and working with CFS+ afﬁliates in those provinces to restore and distribute

them. Those charity partner companies are BC Technology for Learning, Computers for Schools Alberta, Computers for Schools delivered by Saskatchewan Technology Renewal Inc. and Computers for Schools Manitoba. Families and students in need of the tech can apply directly through the appropriate CFS+ afﬁliate. Devices to be donated can be dropped off at the London Drugs tech service desk and technicians will conduct a complete data wipe before it’s restored.

Free bus rides for kids 12 and under as SkyTrain, SeaBus and the West Coast Express), accompaniment by a fare-paying customer will be required to tap children aged 12 and under, and riding free of charge through the fare gates, up to a maximum of four children.

Chris Campbell GLACIER MEDIA

At some restaurants, kids eat for free. On transit, it’s the same deal — starting on Sept. 1 for kids 12 and under.

Children 12 and under will continue to be able to access the gated systems by themselves with the purchase of a fare to tap through the gates.

“Free transit for children 12 and under makes life more affordable for families,” said Premier John Horgan, in a statement. “Taking public transit is a great choice. It offers a cleaner, low-carbon way of getting around that works for people, communities and the environment. The ‘Get on Board’ program will also encourage a new generation of transit riders.”

Kids 12 and younger will be able to ride transit for free when they head back to school in September. File photo

For example, a family who buys their child a $57 monthly TransLink pass for a year would save more than $687. TransLink estimates that approximately 370,000 children 12 and under throughout B.C. will be eligible to ride for free when the program is launched. To help build awareness for the upcom-

ing launch of this program, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has released an ofﬁcial logo featuring the slogan “Get on Board — Kids 12 and Under Ride Free.”

Richmond’s Lansdowne Centre will hold a career fair Friday, Aug. 20, to ﬁll around 100 vacancies across different industries.

Attendees are encouraged to bring multiple copies of their resume to hand out on the day. Positions on offer are in various sectors including retail, marketing, beauty, technology, customer service and more.

“We know some of our tenants are looking for staff as we head into the fall and into a busier holiday period than last

year, so we wanted to do something that allows them to showcase the jobs they have available,” said Bronwyn Bailey, marketing manager at Lansdowne Centre.

Bailey noted that the fair also provides platforms for people who are looking for a fresh start or a next career move.

Lansdowne Centre, Toys “R” Us, T&T Supermarket, Vancouver Premier College and other Richmond employers will be at the job fair to receive applications or have one-to-one conversations with prospective employees.

The job fair will be held at Kiosk Court at Lansdowne Centre from noon to 5 p.m.

Chopsticks being recycled into home decor “We know we have a part to play in helping to make our world a more sustainable place,” said Clint Mahlman, London Drugs president and COO, in a statement.

Kirsten Clarke A Richmond-based company says it aims to recycle more than 10 million chopsticks this year. London Drugs has partnered with ChopValue, a Vancouver-based company that makes homeware and home décor items entirely from recycled chopsticks, for example, cheese boards and charcuterie boards. Through the partnership, London Drugs said it’s given over half a million chopsticks a second life, and is committed to recycling more than 10 million in 2021.

“By partnering with purpose-driven brands like ChopValue, we can empower our community to shop locally from small businesses and educate consumers on the power of a circular economy.” Chopstick collection bins will be available at all London Drugs’ locations, and ChopValue’s interactive “Closed Loop” displays will be featured at certain stores, enabling customers to drop off their used chopsticks and shop for a variety of products for the home and ofﬁce. “Customers can…see how (ChopValue’s) ‘urban harvesting’ approach uses materials that were once seen as waste but redeﬁned as a resource,” Mahlman said.

Businesses offer pandemic survival tips Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Dozens of Richmond entrepreneurs from different cultural backgrounds gathered for online meetings last weekend to share survival tips on keeping their heads above the water in tough ﬁnancial times. Eric Yang, president of the Canadian Community Action and Restorative Empowerment Society (CCARES), told the Richmond News that sharing matters more than ever. “Generally speaking, entrepreneurs of all types face threats of business failures. But for immigrants, they are more likely to encounter more risks due to cul-

tural differences and language barriers,” said Yang.

had been the most difﬁcult time of his life, Yang recalled.

Business strategies that may have worked well in their home country sometimes don’t transfer to success in the local market, explained Yang, adding that the ongoing pandemic has posed additional stress for business owners.

“My business was in huge debt. I felt like I was going through a dark tunnel on my own, and I wasn’t sure when I could see the light. At one point in my life, I was even questioning if the light existed,” said Yang.

To empower more business owners to keep moving towards their goals, Yang hosted an online forum last week, inviting various entrepreneurs to share advice and survival secrets. Before serving as the president of CCARES, Yang had been running a second-hand furniture store near Richmond’s IKEA for more than 10 years. The ﬁrst several years of that enterprise

Although Yang’s furniture store did manage to weather that storm and overcome a myriad of roadblocks, he still thinks he would have beneﬁtted by asking for advice earlier. “I wasted too much time ﬁguring out a way out on my own. If I could have reached out to established ones and asked them for help immediately, I would have avoided so many obstacles along the way,” noted

Members from the Canadian Community Action and Restorative Empowerment Society would meet often before the pandemic to share their experiences. Submitted photo Yang. Yang added that having peer support is critical for business

owners since they are not only a source of friendship, it’s also strategic to helping businesses grow.

Safety company targets mental health with new kit depression.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond company has launched a kit to help those struggling with mental health. In addition to a ﬁrst aid kit, face masks and instant ice packs, the mental health ﬁrst aid kit also includes a stress squeeze toy, biomed water “refresher” spray and a fully-automated oxygen unit. Mark Friedman, who along with his wife Stacey owns SOS Emergency Response Technologies in Richmond, said the two things the oxygen will be most helpful for are anxiety and panic attacks, as it can help relax and calm people down. He said the at-home kit, which launched about three months ago, is also useful for those with

“When you see somebody who’s going through an attack or having problems breathing, having problems with anxiety…right away you pull out the oxygen, you suggest it, you leave it there for them – you’ve trained them on it and you know that they just know to put it on and turn the lever on — so if they feel like they can use it, they will,” he said. Friedman said his daughter has the kit in her room to help with her own mental health, and he thought it would be helpful for others to have it as well. He said the oxygen is at a low level and isn’t a risk for people to use it. The oxygen unit is two to 10 litre ﬂows of oxygen per minute, according to SOS Technologies, with an adjustable dial.

eryone is different, most people will begin to feel a change in the first three minutes. According to SOS Technologies, their oxygen unit is the only fully-automated oxygen unit on the market, with an on-off lever system. The company provides free training at the time of delivery and will meet with clients over Zoom for a refresher if needed. They also have published a fourminute instructional video on the unit on Youtube. People can lease the kit for $20 or $30 a month, depending on the size of the kit, or yearly. SOS Technologies works with workplaces to provide oxygen, first aid and safety and emergency preparedness supplies. The mental health first aid kit is the first product under its new home division.

Showcasing Chinese community The role the Chinese community has played in shaping the history of Canada over the past 150 years is detailed in a new book to be launched on Saturday. Canada’s Chinese Gene: A sense of Belonging, Ownership and Contribution showcases the contribution Chinese Canadians have made to the founding of Canada. “The book aims to send a message to the Chinese-speaking community that we aren’t just guests of this country. We are also recognized as nation builders. Therefore, like our predecessors, we need to take more responsibility and contribute more to the place we live,” said Richmond’s Kenny Zhang, the main author of the book. Meanwhile, noted Zhang, the book serves

as a reminder for people that Chinese Canadian immigrants aren’t foreigners or spies, as is sometimes the assumption given current tensions between Canada and China. “If we take a closer look at how the country was built and developed, we see that the Chinese have participated in every aspect of this country, from literature to sports, ﬁlm to music, business to philanthropy, and politics to civil rights. We witnessed and engaged with the founding of our country, and we should and will continue to give back more to our community,” said Zhang. —Nono Shen/Richmond News Search Kenny Zhang for full story at Richmond-News.com

Artists on show at Canada Line Three local artists’ work is now being featured at large, backlit display cases at Aberdeen and Lansdowne Canada Line stations. The exhibition is part two of the city’s yearlong project, No. 3 Road Art Column exhibition, to allow artists to showcase their artwork. Richmond artists Aman Aheer, Anja Novkovic and Manuel Axel Strain have created artwork around this year’s theme

of hope, resilience and strength, which will be on display until January of 2022. This exhibition is also part of the #RichmondHasHeart campaign, an initiative that aims to bring the community, residents and businesses together to show their support for those working to ﬁght the pandemic, and is also meant for the public to ﬁnd ways to connect. —Nono Shen/Richmond News

Richmondites can cheer on their next hometown hero when the Paralympics kick off next week. Travis Murao, originally from Richmond but currently training in Toronto, is part of Team Canada’s wheelchair rugby team — a sport that requires a metalworker on the side during games to ﬁx damaged chairs.

“I wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who cheered me on and supported me while I was in Tokyo,” Rogers wrote in a post in the Community of Richmond Facebook group. “It means so much to not only have represented our country but also the beautiful community we share here in our corner of B.C.

Because of its aggressive nature, wheelchair rugby was originally called “murderball” — it’s called “quad rugby” in the U.S. “It’s loud — it’s metal slamming onto metal,” explained Dave Thomson, outreach coordinator with Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD), which is showing the Games live at its Lansdowne Centre ofﬁce next week.

Rogers will be back at school in California in September and will prepare for the Worlds in Eugene, Ore. next year.
