Last month I vacationed on Vancouver Island. We weren’t long off the ferry, heading north to Port Hardy when we noticed bits of clothing fluttering in the breeze along the highway. I did a double take. I’ve seen the bright orange shirts staked along roadways in Vancouver, but this was different. They weren’t the trademark orange T-shirts with the Every Child Matters logo. These were blouses, sweaters, sweat shirts, pajama tops of all different shapes and sizes. Yes, they were all one shade of orange or another, but some would have fit a five-year-old girl, others a 16-year-old boy. They were visible but also tucked in among the trees — like spirits. It was a poignant recognition of the children we have lost — those who never came home from residential schools and those who came home badly broken. Today (Sept. 30, 2021) marks Canada’s

first-ever National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, a day to acknowledge the history of residential schools and the routine abuse of Indigenous children. The orange shirt has come to symbolize the trauma of residential schools thanks to Phyllis Jack Webstad, a survivor. On the website orangeshirtday.org, Webstad tells her story of being excited to start school at age six and her grandmother buying her a bright orange shirt that laced up the front for her first day. “When I got to the mission, they stripped me, and took away my clothes, including the orange shirt! I never wore it again. I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t give it back to me, it was mine! The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing.” It’s hard to imagine that sense of erasure, that sense of being scrubbed “clean” of the very person you are.
we went to Alert Bay, a quaint village on a beautiful island that was the hub of the fishing industry in the 1970s. Unfortunately, Alert Bay was also home to the largest residential school operated by the Anglican church. It opened in 1882, and in 1929 the church built St. Michael’s Residential School, an ominous four-story brick building which housed 200 live-in students that had been corralled from First Nations throughout the region. Just to be clear about the true intent of these institutions, note a Vancouver Sun story that includes an expert from the Indian Residential School Commission of the Missionary Society of the Church of England published in 1934. It states that it thanks: “Almighty God for what has been accomplished: for a race of people brought in the shortest period of time known in history from the most debasing savagery to citizenship both in the Kingdom of our God and in his Godblessed Dominion of Canada.”
Also while in northern Vancouver Island,
The students were forbidden from speak-
ing their language and kept away from their families for years. Meanwhile, reports of physical and sexual abuse were rampant. The school closed in 1975 and was demolished in 2015. As I stared at that empty space now strewn with stuffed toys, I felt somewhat sick. But the story doesn’t end there. Adjacent to that toxic spot stands the U’mista Cultural Centre, a warm and inviting building that tells the stories of Indigenous people in that area — their culture, their industry, their traditions, as well as their trauma. Among the exhibits is a series of photos taken by a girl named Beverly, whose dad gave her a camera before she was dragged off to St. Michael’s at age seven. These are the only known photos of residential school students taken by the students themselves. There’s power in that — and hope. With the telling of the story in the hands of the survivors, we can move forward.

Cheers to the vaccine passport players Dear Editor,
hospitality business.
Re: “Who’s enforcing the vaccine passport?” News, Sept. 23. With regards to the article (above), I’d like to share that restaurants in Steveson Village are certainly committed to meticulously checking the vaccine passport. On a bright, sunny Saturday morning we were scheduled to meet up with a friend at Kove Kitchen at Steveson’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Looking forward to a hearty brunch with harbour side views, we’d booked a table for four in advance. It was only when we were about to enter the restaurant, that was doing roaring business, that we noticed the sign that mentioned you have to show your vaccine passport at the door. It was at that moment that my guest realized that he had two phones — an office one and a personal phone, with the vaccine passport saved on his office phone since he used it everyday, at work in the
Much to my friend’s embarrassment when I asked the lady at the restaurant if we could enter, considering he was double vaccinated but had forgotten to carry the right phone where the passport was saved, we were categorically told that we were not allowed. Honestly, we appreciated it though our dining plans were cancelled and we ended up with a fish and chips takeaway instead. Lots of other restaurants on the wharf had the same sign asking for vaccine passports, and going from the number of people dining that day, it looks like most are carrying their vaccine passports. As for us, it was a lesson learned. Don’t leave home without your mask, sanitizer and, of course, a vaccine passport. And yes, did I mention a mobile phone, with the document saved on it?

Nurses’ union vaccine stance is wrong Open letter to the BC Nurses Union, I just want you to know that I have been a nurse for over 30 years and this is the first time I’ve been adamantly opposed to one of BCNU’s stances. BCNU’s stance against mandatory vaccination for nurses is morally wrong. We argue we will lose RNs (HCW) with this mandate, but we are losing health professionals every day now because they are getting sick due to the variant.
Cutting trees to plant trees makes no sense Dear Editor, Thank you, Coun. Wolfe for speaking against loss of habitat. The Garden City Conservation Society is disappointed that Richmond is working against its own mandate for “Environmentally conscious decision-making that.”
Most importantly, MY mandate to protect the public from harm is of utmost priority.
As Wolfe points out, not only will native plant life be permanently removed from a healthy ecosystem, but also mature trees that provide our birds with both food and nesting opportunities. Because development in Richmond is destroying our native ecology, we must protect and save what we can, where we can.
This is an extraordinary time and BCNU needs to strengthen its backbone to respond morally to this extraordinary circumstance.

This contributes to the shortage and stressful workplace, as well.

Vaccine passports “discriminatory” say business owners tion status.”
Valerie Leung
Philippe Leroux, owner of Damien’s Belgian Waffles, and Rick Germain, owner of Pure Water Shoppe, agree with Khatami’s stance regarding the vaccine passport system, although neither of their establishments require proof of vaccination anyway. Although Damien’s serves food, it’s in the coffee shop category, which is exempt.
VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“Getting the vaccine is a personal choice, but making the vaccine passport mandatory in order for people to receive service from businesses is just discriminatory.” Davood Khatami, owner of Davood’s Bistro, said he will not be asking customers for proof of vaccination and calls the B.C. vaccine passport system a form of “discrimination” and “control.” He is among a group of Steveston business owners who say they will defy the public health mandate. As of Sept. 13, the B.C. government requires certain businesses, such as dine-in restaurants, indoor sporting events and gyms, to check customers’ proof of immunization and only those who are vaccinated are able to enter the establishments. “Someone choosing to get or not to get the vaccine is their own choice, I won’t judge them and others shouldn’t either because it’s no one else’s business except the person and their doctor,” said Khatami.
Davood Khatami is one of a few business owners refusing to ask for vaccine cards. “What gives the government the right today to label someone as ‘unvaccinated? Does that mean you’re dirty? You’re poison? You’re disgusting? This is insane.” Khatami told the Richmond News that while defying the order could hurt his business, he would rather earn less than make “people feel like they are being judged for not getting the vaccine.” “It’s ridiculous to think that you have to be vaccinated in order to sit at a restaurant when you could go and eat at a food court and not be questioned about your vaccina-
Meanwhile, it appears most businesses in Steveston are complying with the order. The Richmond News has received numerous letters from readers supporting the mandate and noting how strictly restaurants are enforcing it. The owner of Blue Canoe Waterfront restaurant, Jim van der Tas, said the vaccine passport mandate “works for them,” but added there is not much of a choice at this time. His complaint has more to do with why some businesses are exempt. “We have no choice but to do it, but I do have thoughts when a coffee shop doesn’t need to do it and people sit in the same room for an hour or hour and a half just like in a restaurant,” said Van der Tas.

The staff, he added, felt anxious about enforcing the mandate in the beginning, but several groups of customers have since told Van der Tas they feel more comfortable coming out knowing the passport is required. “That’s something I wasn’t expecting people to openly talk about. We are just happy our staff and customers feel safe coming to us.” The business owners who are defying the mandate admit they’ve had a fair number of customers “quite surprised” by their stance, but said many people understand their reasons. Regardless, they all agreed the issue has created tension within the community, between friends and even within families. Khatami said the last two weeks has been more stressful than the entire year of 2020. In a Richmond News poll with 271 respondents, 80 per cent of readers answered “no” to the question, Would you go to a business that’s not adhering to the vaccine passport rules?

The RTA also wants “the (Richmond) Board of Education to take immediate action to ensure a mask mandate is implemented K to 12.” The Vancouver School Board (VSB) passed a motion Monday night to extend the provincial mask mandate to include all students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 — the first school in the district to go beyond the provincial policy. Currently, the provincial mandate only requires masks be worn by students in Grades 4 to 12 in indoor areas, along with all staff members and visitors. “These are the students who cannot be vacci-
nated at this time. So why wouldn’t we have the mandate? It’s illogical, from a teacher’s perspective.” In addition to the risks posed by the Delta variant, there are also more kids in classrooms this year compared to last year when many in younger grades were learning from home, she said. However, while VSB has taken the step to mandate masks for K-3 students, Baverstock said it would be “much easier for everybody” if it was mandated province-wide. “This (conversation) will be happening in every single district across the province. Local unions are asking for this,” she said. “We’re in this together. Let’s put in this precaution…at the provincial level.” The Richmond Board of Education is “continuing to monitor the situation closely,” according to board chair Sandra Nixon. She added the district will
also continue to follow all provincial health recommendations, and is “aware of provincial discussions on this subject.”
“Although mask wearing for Kindergarten to Grade 3 is not mandated, there is already a high percentage of students in these grades in Richmond who are wearing masks voluntarily,” Nixon said. She noted the board continues to hear “a wide range of differing perspectives from parents regarding the use of masks” in Richmond’s schools. Meanwhile, B.C. resumed sharing information about possible COVID-19 exposures at schools online as of Tuesday, however letters won’t be sent out to schools. If a student or staff member attended the school while infectious, that information will only be posted on their websites, according to B.C. health officials. —Kirsten Clarke/News

Unseated MP slams anti-Chinese portrayal it an “unusual decline of votes.”
Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Just days before the federal election, CSIS, Canada’s spy agency, approached incumbent Steveston-Richmond East candidate Kenny Chiu. While he can’t reveal what the discussion was about, Chiu has been raising concerns about influence from pro-Chinese government supporters on Monday’s federal election and misinformation about his parliamentary bill to register those, acting for a foreign agency, who lobby in Canada. Chiu said his post-election complaints aren’t “sour grapes” and he is supportive of the Liberals’ Parm Bains, who beat him in the election by more than 3,000 votes. But he questions the misinformation and “lies” he saw circulating on WeChat before the election, while acknowledging there were many factors that led to his defeat. Chiu pointed out data is showing a collapse of support for Conservatives in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and the Lower Mainland where there were high concentrations of voters of Chinese origin, calling
“I’m not saying don’t (lobby), but just register,” Chiu said.
This was the situation in Richmond Centre where his Conservative counter-part Alice Wong saw her support collapse by 8,000 votes (mail-in ballots are still being counted, so this figure is preliminary).
But this message got twisted in Chineselanguage social media to say if Chiu were re-elected, all Chinese-Canadians with connections to China would be in trouble and have to register themselves.
Searching through WeChat, the Richmond News found a plethora of posts discouraging people from voting for Chiu and the Conservatives and repeating the message that he’s “anti-Chinese.”
“It’s playing into the narrative of Communist Chinese — that anti-Asian racism is because of the criticism of China and therefore, if you don’t want to be discriminated against and hated, you have to ask your government to not to keep on criticizing China,” Chiu said.
Chiu said the misinformation about the intent of his bill isn’t a “smoking gun” but it shows a pattern. A message circulating on WeChat before the election, found by Chiu’s campaign, states “Chiu’s anti-China background, it’s no doubt that this bill is against mainland Chinese organizations or friendship societies.” Another post read “The purpose (of Chiu’s bill) is to curb any pro-Chinese speech in Canada, and to control and monitor various mainland groups and individuals.” One article written after the election, that got more than 20,000 views on WeChat, stated “If they get elected, it might stimulate various social organizations and groups to
Articles circulated on WeChat during the election saying Kenny Chiu was antiChinese. WeChat screenshot organize crimes against Chinese people. It would be catastrophic for Chinese Canadians.” The point of Bill C-282 that Chiu introduced as a private member’s bill, but which died in Parliament when Justin Trudeau called the election, was that if someone under the direction of a foreign government or agency lobbies the government, they need to register openly.
“The false message, the disinformation, the fake news was being brewed not just in WeChat, the semi-autonomous media, but also been repeated in our airwaves in some of the Cantonese-Mandarin commentators,” Chiu added. He said it’s the same song sheet, saying Chiu is anti-Chinese, criticizing his vote in the House of Commons about the Uyghur genocide and spreading lies about Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, saying he will ban WeChat.

Alice Wong out after mail-in ballots counted Alan Campbell
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
In the early hours of Friday, Richmond Centre got a new MP — Liberal rookie Wilson Miao, who unseated four-time incumbent Conservative Alice Wong. The Liberal’s Wilson Miao.
Miao had held a near 700-vote lead after last Monday’s election, but there were around 2,000 mail-in ballots still to be counted.
Be Wise
However, when they were tallied, it did little to affect the outcome, with property developer Miao winning by 772 votes. If the gap was less than 500, Wong could have requested a recount. The 73-year-old had previously won four consecutive elections, most of them comfortably.
riding, compared to the 2019 election, she pointed to a campaign to label her party as “anti-Chinese,” which she said may have cost her votes in the Chinese-speaking electorate. Neither Wong nor Miao were available for comment this week. The final results were: Wilson Miao (Lib): 13,440 (39.3 per cent)
After 184 of the 185 polls reported last Monday night, Wong refused to accept defeat.

A Richmond city councillor is “frustrated” by the removal of 40 trees, as well as impacts to vegetation and peat soils, along a trail near where he grew up. “There’s just everything wrong about this project,” said Coun. Michael Wolfe. Wolfe said he also adopted the trail in Odlinwood — north of Alderbridge Way and the Department of National Defense Lands and west of Shell Road — in 2005 through the Adopt a Trail program and continues to look after it when he can.
He said he noticed tree removal signs went up in the area recently, stating work would begin around Sept. 20. Wolfe raised the issue at last week’s public works and transportation committee meeting, asking councillors to halt the project until more consultation with stakeholders could be done. However, he didn’t receive any support.
Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Projects We want to hear from you
The Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Richmond, BC is being upgraded to protect public health and the environment in a growing region. The design concept includes tertiary treatment and a range of ecological restoration projects. The projects are in the project definition phase. Work is underway to refine the design to ensure the best possible projects are presented to Metro Vancouver’s Board for consideration in early 2022. Metro Vancouver is seeking feedback on aspects of the projects that could, based on current work to refine the design, result in revisions to the design concept that was presented during previous project engagement. Topics will include treatment technology, plant footprint, project cost estimates, and schedule.

“I was told at the meeting, that this was a council-approved item, and yes I recall it being approved on the budget last year,” Wolfe said. He said the project is being completed in two phases, with the first, the western portion which runs to No. 4 Road, already complete. That area, in comparison, was a straight, grassy path, with road runoff and debris underneath. However, the next section will “cut straight through” the wooded trail, amid full vegetation and the “naturally-occurring
plant community of Richmond.” According to City of Richmond spokesperson Clay Adams, the Alderbridge Way Multi-Use Pathway was approved by city council in 2017 as part of the 2018 Capital Plan. The multi-phase project, said Adams, is meant to improve cyclist and pedestrian safety in the area by creating a three-metre wide paved pathway along the north side of Alderbridge Way between No. 4 and Shell roads. The project will also connect to the existing multiuse pathway on Shell Road with the City Centre and Odlinwood. Wolfe noted that the city’s original plan called for the removal of 65 trees in the area, however, that was revised, so that, rather than sloping the new trail, they would make a retaining wall and remove fewer trees.

Cree elder speaks at Catholic church “In the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, there was a call to action for churches to better educate themselves on residential schools. There’s no better way than to hear those stories first hand.”
Valerie Leung
VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A Cree elder is looking forward to moving towards finding “forgiveness for all churches and everyone” when he shares his journey, as a residential school survivor, at a Richmond Catholic church this Thursday.
There is a lot of shame and anger thas is mostly directed at ourselves...
Elder Don Tourangeau wants people to understand the things residential school survivors went through, and for his and other First Nations people’s voices to finally be heard on the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
FR. PIERRE DUCHARME
In June, the federal government declared Sept. 30 as National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to commemorate the history of residential schools and recognition of the ongoing trauma to Indigenous peoples. “For me, it’s going to be painful, but it’s going to come to an understanding because we finally get to have the truth of our voices heard,” said Tourangeau. “As a kid, from residential school to foster homes, people didn’t believe me, but today
As a Catholic priest, Ducharme said he and others in his community have experienced many mixed feelings regarding residential schools. “There’s lots of shame and anger that is mostly directed at ourselves and the way we have responded historically to the past and not having dealt with it in a healthy way,” he said.
they know the truth.” Tourangeau told the Richmond News that there has always been misrepresentation and stereotypes of the First Nations people. “A lot of people look at us First Nations as people who are alcoholics and do stupid things, but we had no one to give us an understanding of rights and how things are supposed to be for us. There was no love and care as a kid.” St. Joseph the Worker’s pastor, Fr. Pierre Ducharme, called this event a “healthy and healing” opportunity and a “chance to learn and gain greater knowledge and understanding” about residential schools.

Pastor Pierre Ducharme hopes for a way forward with the Indigenous community. “While we are hosting the evening, it is a gift for us to have Elder Don Tourangeau take the courageous step towards us, and his desire to share his story with us,” said Ducharme.
“I think there’s a desire among Christians to do what we can to heal this relationship. At the same time, I personally believe, we also have to respect even more so where Indigenous peoples are at and what they may want and not want from us.” He added that he has heard from certain members of the Indigenous communities that there is hope that “a long term relationship can be forged.” Tourangeau will speak at St. Joseph the Worker Parish Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.

Students mark 1st National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A “museum” set up by students at Hugh Boyd secondary aims to raise awareness of the lasting impact of the residential school system on Indigenous people, juxtaposing life before and after that system was introduced. It’s one of the ways that students and staff at Hugh Boyd will recognize the first annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which falls on Sept. 30. As schools won’t be in session Sept. 30, Richmond schools are recognizing the day on Sept. 29, according to Richmond School District. Several schools are planning school-wide assemblies, school libraries are highlighting resources by Indigenous authors and teachers are “supporting the building of student knowledge and understanding” through various activities. Michael Taylor, who teaches the social justice class at Hugh Boyd, said half of the museum display — researched and
put together by students — will highlight Indigenous culture and ways of life prior to residential schools. “And so everything’s going to be bright and colourful and open, and then the other half of the display is going to centre on the tragedy of the residential schools, the loss of identity for those who attended them, the survivors, as well as the lasting emotional toll,” he said. “So it’s really the juxtaposition between Indigenous society pre-colonialism, pre-residential schools, and then Indigenous culture during the residential school era and its impact today.” Orange ribbons will also be provided to students and miniature orange shirts will be
placed on one in every 25 lockers to symbolize that one in every 25 students who attended residential schools died. Meanwhile, student council members will be providing a presentation highlighting the stories of residential school survivors. Teachers will be taking their students from station to station to help them learn more about the impact of the schools. Students will also be making bannock, which they will sell to others in the school to help raise money for the Indian Residential School Survivor Society, which helps survivors. In May, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced the discovery of around 200 potential burial sites on the site of

the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. Several other potential burial sites across the country have since been identified.
Shortly afterwards, the federal government passed legislation to recognize Sept. 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Christian churches and the federal government launched the residential school system in the 1880s, and kept them going for more than a century, seeking to convert and assimilate Indigenous children. It’s estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their homes across the country and forced into residential schools, where they suffered widespread physical, sexual and mental abuse. Thousands died in them. Taylor said the news of the discovery at the Kamloops school made students’ awareness of residential schools and their legacy “much more tangible.” He said students in the social justice class will discuss how residential schools and colonialism connects with issues

“So we bring it to the present day, and current events. We want to understand this intergenerational trauma.” Sept. 30 coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which honours the story of Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, a former residential school student who had her new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, taken away on her first day at residential school. The orange shirt has since become a symbol of remembrance of all Indigenous children removed from their families to attend residential schools.

stand what that means.”
He said the goal is for students to walk away with “a sense of what is truth, and what does reconciliation mean as it applies to the residential school system?” Part of that understanding, Taylor said, is to have an accurate historical account of what happened, and to look at that information and stories of survivors with understanding and empathy.
So we bring it to the present day...We want to understand this intergenerational trauma.
At the end of the last school year, students engaged in a “reflection” following the discovery of the burial sites, making commitments about what they thought they could do to better understand reconciliation, which they wrote on orange shirts. Those shirts are also part of the Sept. 29 activities.

Giving while living; is it for you? Introduction In last weekend’s edition of the Globe & Mail, the great columnist, John Heinzl, wrote an answer to a question concerning capital gains. The reader inquired of Mr. Heinzl whether he and his wife should cash in some investments that had increased significantly in value. Doing that would create capital gains, though if the reader and his wife waited until they passed away, there would be capital gains as well. So the question was whether they should cash in and pay the tax now, or wait. Truth be told, this kind of question can be much wider and should be considered by any person or couple who wish to cash in and gift assets. There can be several reasons to do this, such as to reduce the size of the couple’s (or person’s) Estate, or perhaps to reduce the likelihood of a challenge to the deceased person’s Will by surviving family members (because the Estate might not be large enough to merit the cost of litigation). There is no one answer to the question. Whether it makes sense to start cashing in and/or giving away depends on numerous factors, including the person’s marital situation, family situation, income and asset mix. However, because of the expense of administering a large Estate, this question is worth exploring. Marital circumstances For a long married couple, with children, early gifting of assets can make sense. Their children may be able to make good use of the gift and, if the parents are satisfied that they are still adequately financially secure, it can be a good idea. If, however, a couple are in a second marriage situation, there are some important issues to consider. First, perhaps, is whether the couple each have children and whether there may be friction (based on the expectations they have with respect to inheritance). So, for example, a spouse with a good income, and a large asset base, may want to gift assets to her or his children before entering the new relationship. Meanwhile, for a Widow or Widower, the gifting of assets to children may well make sense, depending what assets the Widow or Widower would be left with after the gifts are made. The need for assets may be less critical for the surviving Mother or Father. Income The cashing in and/or gifting of assets by a person will give rise to capital gains, where the assets being cashed in or gifted include an investment portfolio (such as stock). Cashing in or withdrawing funds from an RRSP or RRIF, meanwhile, will be fully added to income. That becomes relevant where part of the person’s income is their OAS. Certainly, extra income might bring the person into a higher tax bracket, so that more tax is payable in any event, but the higher level of income may reduce their OAS benefit. At an annual income of about $71,000 the clawback aspect of the OAS is activated. The OAS benefit the person receives will be reduced. At an income of $120,000 (round numbers) the OAS is eliminated. So the cashing in and gifting, here, come at a high cost. Still another aspect of gifting, in general, is that we obviously have no idea what will be the value of the person’s asset base at death. Despite an increase in value of many persons’ assets in 2021, if they cash in and gift away, then they live another 11 years, it is unpredictable what those assets may have been worth in 2032. If the assets drop in value over the 11 years, the cashing in and gifting may have been a poor decision. Without a doubt, one question that must be answered in the consideration whether to gift, is whether the effect on the person’s income is financially harmful. Asset Mix In Canada, different assets attract a different tax treatment. Cashing in an RRSP or an RRIF adds the full amount withdrawn to the person’s income. Cashing in a stock portfolio will give rise to a capital gain, and half of that gain is added to the person’s taxable income. Selling a person’s home does not (right now) attract tax, if it is the person’s principal residence. Selling a rental property or recreational property will give rise to a capital gain (especially if the property is located in the lower mainland). One question, therefore, in the consideration whether to give away while alive, is which asset(s) to give. If you did not know this before, you know now why Accountants are important people! Conclusions There are practical reasons to gift assets while you are alive. The question to ask is whether any of those reasons applies to your own situation. Assets may still be rising in value, so you may want to wait. You may not want to reduce your own income. Children (or new spouses) may need the money but they may not be good money managers. If a child is going through a matrimonial breakup, it may not be the time to gift assets to them. Ultimately, there are no two persons, or couples, exactly alike. So whether to gift at all, has to be thought through at length, with advice. It may or may not be right for you.

Curbside pickup was a thing in Steveston 120 years before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cousin Gill came to be known by that moniker when some Indigenous people wanted to visit the track. Because they were Indigenous, they weren’t allowed in, but Gill would instruct them to say they were his cousin, earning himself the moniker “Cousin Gill.”
In fact, one enterprising store owner delivered groceries — based on pre-orders — to fishermen straight to their boats. Ling Chung Lam’s store, the Hong Wo General Store, was at the foot of Trites Road on the river. He had two entrances to his store — one for the walk-in traffic and one for the boats.
Hill said many Richmond residents have a real sense of identity with certain pockets or neighbourhoods — such as Steveston, Finn Slough, Terra Nova and Sea Island.
For the fishermen, he’d have lists of items that they could just tick off to make sure they were stocked up for their long fishing expeditions and staff at the store would collect the items and take the groceries down to the boats. “It was so clever because he just created these lists so they could just take it on the boat — talk about making his business thrive,” explained Sheila Hill, exhibit and program coordinator at the Richmond Museum. Lam was fluent in English and Chinese and also worked as a translator, contractor and labour organizer in the fishing industry. His store finally closed in 1971 after being in business for more than 70 years. This is one of the stories told in a new exhibition — which opened Sept. 25 — at the Richmond Cultural Centre, titled “Reinventing Richmond.” Electric steam massage On the same wall where the Hong Wo General Store sign hangs, there’s a sign for an “Electric steam massage,” something that is still a mystery for museum staff. “It sounds terribly dangerous,” Hill said. “We’ve been trying to find out what it is and we’re not entirely sure, but we’re thinking it had something to do with the mini-bordellos and things they had in town.”
What’s your slogan for Richmond?
couver.
Furthermore, Richmond has had many slogans over the years, including Child of the Fraser, Salmonopolis as well as Island City, By Nature. The museum exhibit has an area where visitors can write what they would like Richmond’s slogan of the future to be.
“At the turn of the 20th century, they thought Steveston would overtake Vancouver,” Hill said. “It really had that presence.”
“I would love people to have a little deeper understanding of where Richmond has come from but also think about where we want to go,” Hill said.
Actress Lulu Sweet leaves her mark
“Because what you’ll see (at the exhibit), is some of these themes continue through time but others are new and layer on top, while others drop away. So, what do we have today that we’d like to keep and what would we like to build for tomorrow?” The exhibit will run at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate) for almost a year, closing on Sept. 5, 2022.
Sheila Hill, of the Richmond Museum, prepares exhibits for Reinventing Richmond. Maria Rantanen/News The focus of Reinventing Richmond is on the township’s history of fishing, farming, industry, retail and home life, as well as its long-time multicultural nature, Hill explained. Richmond today is home to people from around the world, but that’s nothing new, said Hill. Richmond was always diverse It has always attracted people from different ethnic backgrounds. The fishing industry in Steveston had Indigenous, Japanese, Chinese and European people working in the 41 canneries side by side — albeit all living in their segregated quarters. “People know Richmond is a very diverse place today, but what would surprise them if they looked back a hundred years, they would see the same diversity,” Hill said. “And they would see how much things have changed but how much it’s stayed the same.” At one point, Steveston was such a growing townsite, it almost eclipsed Van-
One display at the new exhibit features mannequins wearing the clothes of Lulu Sweet and Col. Richard Moody. The story is that Moody was taking Sweet on a ship sailing past what would come to be known as Richmond and she asked the name of the island. Moody, maybe under the spell of the San Francisco actress, said he would name the island after her — hence, Lulu Island. Moody — for whom Port Moody is named after — was the commander of the Royal Engineers in 1858, who mapped much of British Columbia. He later become the Lieutenant-Governor of the Crown Colony of B.C. “The embellishments grew in the telling, but the island is definitely named after

‘Matrix’ fuels field time angst Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS
Around 140 kids are being crammed onto a soccer field in Richmond a few times a week due to a lack of field space. The issue, according to Richmond FC (RFC) chair Chris Parry, stems from the City of Richmond’s new field allocation policy. Parry said the club asked for about 60 hours a week of field time over the course of the season but, due to the city’s new “matrix,” the club only received 50 hours. “So for the rest, we’ve got to squeeze kids in cheek by jowl…in the middle of COVID,” Parry told the Richmond News. That situation wasn’t a one-off, said Parry, as RFC is booked at Minoru three times a week — on top of people walking around Minoru track or other kids showing up towards the end of the session, trying to warm up for their own time on the field. Typically, clubs would tell the city, at the beginning of each season, the number of fields they need and where, so that coach-

es and equipment are in the same place. If any field space was leftover, it would be handed back, said Parry.
“City staff, this season, decided to put in place what they call a matrix, where they asked us for the number of teams that we have and the number of players that we have, and then decided how many hours that warranted,” said Parry. “We’ve had about two teams worth of kids register just in the last two weeks that we didn’t expect — and that we’re really happy for — but where to we put them? The matrix just doesn’t factor any of that in.” In April, Richmond city council approved the Outdoor Sports Facilities and Amenities policy, which was “developed in consultation with local clubs including Richmond FC and Richmond United,” said city spokesperson Clay Adams. “It aims to balance the needs of clubs at all levels and in a way that encourages access for different ages and skills,” Adams said.

A new craft brewery recently opened its doors in Steveston, to add to the collection the village is starting build up. Langley-based Five Roads Brewing — which had its sole brewery and tasting room in Langley — held a soft opening a few weeks ago at the former Porthole wine bar on No. 1 Road, close to Bayview Street, which closed in August 2020. According to one of its three co-owners, Aaron Fourt, the brewery will have its official opening on Friday, Oct. 8, which will coincide with its Oktoberfest weekend.

Five Roads Brewing has opened in the old Porthole. where” — which actually won gold in the American Style IPA category at the recent Canadian Brewing Awards in Quebec.
Fourt told the Richmond News the brewery will have seven craft beers on tap, five of them being core brews and two rotating.
As was the case with the former occupant in Steveston, the brewery will be rather bijou, with just 35 seats, which includes the two tables on the patio.
One of them, added Fourt, is their Permanent Resident IPA — so named because it’s the “resident beer that’s not going any-
And next spring, Fourt hinted at a “parking lot event with other Richmond breweries.”
