Mother Nature is not letting up.
All in all, Richmond got off fairly easy — and that was with homes flooded in the Hamilton and the Shellmont areas, traffic snarls due to flooding on Highway 99 and Westminster Highway, a sink hole on Blundell Avenue a massive tree downed near South Arm Community Centre and power outages all over the place. As I say, we got off easy. What we didn’t have was mud, rocks and trees raining down, leaving us trapped in our cars overnight, as was the case on Highway 7 near Agassiz, dykes breached and water system contaminated, as they still have in Merritt and Princeton, or whole communities underwater as is the case around Abbotsford. So, yes, lucky us. Unfortunately, we don’t have the luxury of sitting back and feeling sorry for others because who knows where and when the

For a quick tally, in less than five months and in just our little corner of the world, we’ve seen a heat dome with the highest temperatures at this latitude in recorded history, resulting in 600 deaths and basically the incineration of the whole town of Lytton. Come July and August, we saw the third worst fire season on record, displacing thousands of people and damaging huge swaths of land. In October, we saw a “weather bomb” that resulted in what meteorologists described as the deepest low-pressure system ever recorded for Pacific Northwest. In the first week of November, it was an “ultra rare” tornado, as the weather network described it, near the airport. Here we are now in the third week of November, with an “atmospheric river.” (You gotta hand it to those weather geeks. They come up with some colourful names.)
Anyway, the result of said “river” was our rainfall in a 48-hour period was as high as it’s ever been since 1948. At that time, 73, years ago, Richmond saw a dousing which why we have dykes today. (See page 14) In other words, it’s rather understandable if we’re all feeling a little unsettled. Meanwhile, back at the UN Climate Change conference COP26 in Glasgow (which happened sometime between the weather bomb and the tornado) world leaders failed to make any significant progress on commitments to reduce the carbon emissions that are warming the planet and increasing the frequency of these extreme weather conditions. It could all get rather depressing, but let’s not go there. Also at the conference were innovative ideas around carbon capture, for example. And let’s not forget about the thousands of extremely committed folks who are not waiting for our so-called leaders to lead us towards a more livable planet than the one we’re heading for right now.
What’s clear is this problem needs to be tackled at so many levels. Earlier this week the MLA for the riding that includes Agassiz was talking about preparedness, saying more could have been done by the province to warn people not to travel while an “atmospheric river” was flowing through the neighbourhood. Others talked about preparing yourself with extra blankets and water while travelling. (Note to self: throw an old sleeping bag into the back of the car.) Meanwhile, municipalities need to prepare with adequate infrastructure and planning. But perhaps the plan we most need is one that connects the dots, one that shows how paving your front yard increases the chance of flooding, how densifying without adequate tree canopy will end up frying us. In other words, a plan that has us all rowing in the same direction because this isn’t going to be the last “river” to come crashing our way.

Pigeons don’t need your help, thanks The Editor, Re: “Kindness causes carnage,” Letters, Nov. 11. I just read the letter “Kindness causes carnage” in today’s News and simply had to respond, as this is something I have witnessed on many occasions — the unnecessary feeding of our already overfed pigeons. I hate to break it to all you soft-hearted pigeon feeders out there, but in case you weren’t aware, it’s against the law to feed pigeons, or any other wildlife for that matter. There are at least TWO signs stating that, right by the parking area at the foot of Gilbert Road and the south dyke. But no one ever seems to read them, or if they do, they obviously choose to ignore them.
under city bylaws. Unfortunately for the poor hapless birds, this is seldom if ever enforced, evidenced by the fact they continue to proliferate unabated, only to be inadvertently run over on occasion by the very “hand that feeds them.” Sad as this recent incident may be, the last thing these feathered friends need is for us to feed them — they manage admirably all on their own, and feeding them not only results in overpopulation, but “carnage” such as this, not to mention encouragement of all sorts of other vermin. Once again, wild animals do not need our help, and giving in to them is an act of misguided kindness can actually shorten their already brief little lives. Please read and obey the signs — they are there for a reason!

Flash flood turns school field into lake for boat ‘test drive’ Dear Editor, A mini flash flood occurred at R.C. Palmer Secondary school and flooded a huge area of the soccer field along with the field at Garden City elementary. Our school decided to take a boat we’d built in a metalworking class out onto the water for a little test drive.
Although the flooding had blocked off a huge majority of the cement pathways to our school, we decided to look at the bright side by taking turns riding the boat into the deep waters; we had a lot of fun slowly but steadily riding the water.

Faiths unite in a crisis Shop owners inspire Dear Richmond News,
I wanted to share a story with you that I think is rather remarkable and demonstrates the kindness that exists among the members of different faith groups along the “Highway to Heaven” on No. 5 Road. As the principal of Richmond Jewish Day School, I have had to close the doors to our school for the last two days due to the extreme weather conditions and flooding in our parking lot. Despite working with city crews and independent contractors to pump out the water, as you can see from the photos our parking continues to look like a small lake. Tomorrow, however, we are opening the doors of our school because of the kindness of our neighbours along No. 5 Road.
with empathy
All our staff and RJDS visitors have been granted permission to park at the Gurdwara Nanak Niwas Temple on the north side of our building.
Dear Editor, Re: “Shoplifting costs,” Letters, Nov. 4
On the south side of our building, Subramaniya Swamy Temple has allowed us to use their parking as a pickup and drop-off point and using the gate that joins our properties, we will be able to access our school building.
What a beautiful response from Elly Fenton and Lenny Entwistle to their shoplifting issues.
And, in the least and without which, it is doubtful a positive resolution might never be found, let alone an education for everyone. I’m inspired and delighted by their positive example.
Elizabeth Davidson
It was full of empathy .... the lack of which has been front and centre for sometime.
Thanks to our neighbours, the students at Richmond Jewish Day School will be attending classes again!

Council frets over possible crisis line privatization
Richmond city council doesn’t want to see crisis lines contracted out to private companies.
CHIMO Community Services appealed to Richmond’s mayor in a letter to put pressure on the province to stop this process.
They will send a letter stating as much to the provincial government, which is in the process of requesting proposals to increase centralization of services as it upgrades its technology.
The fear is the 1-800-SUICIDE line and other “distress lines” will go to a private for-profit corporation, explained Kathy Nakhleh, manager of new initiatives and crisis lines with CHIMO, in her letter.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, at Monday’s general purposes committee meeting, pointed out some call centres are located 10,000 miles away.
He wanted to see the service, which deals with people in mental health crises or contemplating suicide, kept local and pointed out CHIMO has done a good job
providing this service thus far.
“Where it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” Brodie said. — Maria Rantanen/Richmond News Search CHIMO for full story at Richmond-News.com

Teacher claims $70K investment loss Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“He was a friend. A friend that I trusted.”
“He had a serious medical condition and I stuck by him all those years. He thanked me for sticking with him,” she said.
But it all started to unravel in 2017, when she found out that he had parted company with the Richmond branch of Global Maxfin Capital Inc.
Leclerc says it’s hard to ascertain how much she’s lost via Storelli over those 14 years, but she thinks a ballpark of around $70,000 wouldn’t be too far-fetched.
In terms of his dealings with Leclerc, she recalled how he continually talked to her about “diversifying,” taking out expensive life insurance policies and $100,000 loans and making land investments.
Leclerc said she felt “betrayed,” adding that Storelli continually thanked her over the years for “having his back.”
Until that day, Leclerc, an elementary school teacher, had built up over 14 years, with Storelli’s help, what she thought was a stellar financial portfolio.
For misconduct unrelated to Leclerc, former Richmond investment advisor Storelli was fined $50,000 last week and banned from the industry for four years by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).
regulated firm.
“Of course, it was all our fault, but we trusted him. He would have land investment parties, there was some social interaction, as well as business. “I was livid when I realized he had targeted senior citizens. It choked me.”
It has been four years since Richmond resident Kelly Leclerc first learned that all was not as it seemed with her trusted friend and financial advisor, Alberto Storelli.
It was only then that her newly-assigned advisor made her aware of the extremely high-risk ventures and “bad investments” she had signed up for over the years.
all of this was.
“In my mind, we were friends. I trusted him.” Kelly Leclerc claims a ‘friend’ gave her bad financial advice. Photo submitted She is, however, the first to admit that she and her husband at the time signed the papers, trusting Storelli to “take care of the rest.” “I went to my friend’s wedding in Vegas with (Storelli),” Leclerc told the Richmond News, after learning last week that some of Storelli’s clients were seniors. “He would come to the house; he would fill out a portion of the contract and say he would fill out the rest at the office. That’s how we never really knew how high risk
NEW!
Following a disciplinary hearing in Vancouver, the IIROC announced its hearing panel found Storelli was liable of compensating clients, providing an unauthorized account statement to clients, making misrepresentations to IIROC enforcement staff and failing to cooperate during the regulatory body’s investigation. The IIROC enforcement counsel argued the clients were vulnerable as some were senior citizens, and others had a familial or friendship connection with Storelli, according to the decision. At the time of the violations, Storelli was a registered representative with the Richmond branch of Global Maxfin, an IIROC-
“It was just insane looking back. We were told by him that, by the time my husband and I retired it would be worth $1 million,” she said. “I was paying $805 a month for a life insurance policy. It was too much for a single mom. But I signed the contracts, so there really wasn’t much (the IIROC) could do.” Leclerc said she suspects Storelli left Global Maxfin because people were starting to connect the dots. “I was the one who didn’t know up to that point,” she lamented. “Every year I would max out my RRSPs with him. He would use some of that to invest in all these different things, so it’s really difficult to tell exactly how much I lost. I know that I’ve made nothing in those investments in 14 years. “I feel like such an idiot. I’m a professional. I’m a teacher. I should have known better. But he was also a professional. I completely trusted him.” Search Storelli for full story at Richmond-News.com

Wolfe flips vote, homes not coming ‘fast enough’
Unanimous support for Richmond’s increase in affordable housing requirements dropped by one vote as city council tallied its final vote on the issue.
Coun. Michael Wolfe reversed his original support for raising the affordable housing requirement from 10 per cent to 15 per cent in City Centre after listening to delegates at a public hearing on the issue, saying it wasn’t moving fast enough to address the need.
This elicited criticism from Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie at the negative feedback on the issue, saying “I think that Richmond is doing more than any other city out there.” “If others care not to support that because somehow the world isn’t changing fast enough, that’s up to them,” he added. This was in response to Wolfe who said he’d been
“wrestling” with the decision throughout the day.
“I sometimes vote against things, not because they’re wrong or they’re not going in the right direction, but they’re not going fast enough and they’re not meeting the priority that we previously set out,” Wolfe told council after the public hearing.
Michael Wolfe Two members of the Richmond Poverty Reduction Coalition (RPRC) spoke at the public hearing about the need for more affordable housing in the city. De Whalen, RPRC chair, noted the waitlist for BC Housing is well over 800 in Richmond. She also criticized the method by which Richmond allows a variety of groups, including private companies, to manage the affordable housing that gets built in Richmond. She further criticized what she called lack of oversight and said the system now is like a “dating service,” matching a developer with an operator to manage the housing units. Whalen said RPRC doesn’t take a stand on whether the percentage of housing is correct. “What we know is this strategy is not working the way that we need (it) to and it’s not filling the need that our population has and the people that we serve,” she said. — Maria Rantanen/Richmond News
Public opinion wanted on patios
The City of Richmond is asking for residents’ thoughts about making temporary outdoor patios permanent.
The city is looking at developing a program that would allow local businesses to apply to have an outdoor patio on public space, such as a sidewalk or on-street parking area. City council voted last month to extend the current temporary program to June 1, 2022 and asked staff to look at developing a permanent program for public property. Currently, businesses can apply to the temporary outdoor patio program, which was launched in May 2020 in response to COVID-19. It allows food and beverage establishments to expand outdoor seating areas on private or public property. While businesses with temporary patios in Richmond can apply for a permanent expansion on private property through existing processes, there currently isnt’ any way for those with temporary patios on public property to do so. Residents can learn about the program and complete a survey on LetsTalkRichmond.ca, available until Sunday, Dec. 5. — Kirsten Clarke/Richmond News

GCT Deltaport Expansion - Berth Four Project Public Comment Period & Virtual Information Sessions GCT Canada Limited Partnership is proposing to expand the existing GCT Deltaport Container Terminal, a container storage and handling facility located in Delta, British Columbia. The GCT Deltaport Expansion - Berth Four Project would include the addition of a fourth berth on the east side of the Roberts Bank Causeway. It would also include increased land-based container storage and handling facilities, a short sea shipping berth, the expansion of the intermodal rail yard along the causeway, and dredging to provide safe access for ships. Comments Invited The project is subject to a federal impact assessment under the Impact Assessment Act and a provincial environmental assessment under British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Act. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (the Agency) and British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are working cooperatively to provide a single review process for the project that meets the requirements of both jurisdictions. The project’s federal impact assessment has been referred to an independent review panel that will be appointed at a later date. The provincial environmental assessment will rely on the information collected throughout the review panel process and the panel’s impact assessment report. The public and Indigenous nations are invited to review and provide comments on the draft provincial Process Order, the draft Joint Guidelines and the draft Joint Assessment Plan for the assessment of the project. The comment period starts November 10, 2021, and ends December 23, 2021, at 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST). Comments received will support the Agency and the EAO to prepare the final Joint Guidelines and final Joint Assessment Plan for the project, as well as the provincial Process Order, which will be provided to GCT Canada Limited Partnership to inform the next steps in the process. The draft Joint Guidelines outline the project-specific factors that are proposed to be considered in the assessment and provide direction to the proponent on the information and studies required in its Impact Statement / Application. The draft Joint Assessment Plan outlines the assessment process including participation opportunities, general timelines and roles and responsibilities of participants for each phase of the process. The provincial Process Order sets the scope, procedures, and methods of the provincial environmental assessment. Comments only need to be submitted once to either the Agency or the EAO to be considered in both the federal and provincial assessment processes. Comments submitted to the Agency may be submitted in either official language. Comments received by the Agency or the EAO are considered public and will be published online.

NEWS No dykes, no Richmond Bid in the Richmond Christmas Fund s Online Auction rcf2021.givesmart.com
39 pump stations can expel a million gallons of water a minute So, when there’s a heavy rainfall, there is significantly less soil to absorb the water, which can then flood the drainage system. Despite that, Richmond continues to urbanize and densify, leading to more impervious surfaces, creating yet greater reliance on the city’s pump and dyking infrastructure.
This is the first in a series of articles looking at Richmond’s dyking system and whether the city is working aggressively enough to protect against the rising tide of climate change
Residents generally take for granted infrastructure if it’s working as it should, explained Kras.
Maria Rantanen
“The dyke is a perfect example of that — if it wasn’t working, there would be an uproar,” Kras said.
MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The storm that just passed through Richmond this week was the biggest the city has seen in a half a century. This had city crews working overtime to ensure all pump stations were functioning properly and fielding about 380 calls from residents with flooding and water issues. The only thing keeping Richmond from flooding during a rain storm such as this is a network of 49 kilometres of dykes and 39 pump stations, which can collectively expel a million gallons of water per minute. Ditches, canals, sloughs, and 600 kilometres of storm sewers and box culverts are also part of the city’s flood-control system. Other parts of the province haven’t fared as well during the storm that metereologists are calling an “atmospheric river.” Many highways across southern B.C. remain closed due to washouts and mudslides and the entire town of Merritt is on evacuation order because of a failed wastewater treatment plant, rendering their water undrinkable. Closer to home, the Sumas Prairie area in Abbotsford — a lake that was converted to farmland — is being evacuated. The “imminent failure” of one of its pump stations poses a “significant risk to life,” according to a statement Tuesday from Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. Jason Ho, manager of engineering planning with the City of
While the dykes are a municipal responsibility — overseen by a provincial inspector of dykes — the rising of the seas is a global phenomenon. Derek Hunter (left) and Doug Zukowsky were examining the equipment at the Horseshoe Slough Pump Station on Dyke Road close to No. 5 Road. Maria Rantanen photo Richmond, said the importance of the city’s extensive drainage and dyking system can be summed up by a quote from one of his predecessors: “No dykes, no Richmond.” “We’re protecting $100 billion in assets in Richmond,” Ho added. Richmond’s geography one metre above sea level and its waterfront locale means it faces both current threats — rainfall, the spring freshet and storm surges — as well as future threats — sea level rise as well as more intense storms, of which this week is an example.
timeline of its dyke building program by 25 years. (In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused widespread flooding in New Orleans, with 1,800 casualties and $150 billion in damage after its dykes broke.)
We are protecting $100 billion in assets in Richmond.
This makes the city, with the Fraser River on one side and the sea on the other, especially vulnerable, Ho said. In fact, in response to the threat of rising sea levels, which could possibly cause the dykes to breach and cause Hurricane Katrina-style devastation, Richmond city council shortened the
The goal is to raise all Richmond dykes to four to five metres above sea level within 50 years (the original timeline was 75 years). But this isn’t a cheap endeavour.
Richmond has applied for $38 million in federal funding for dyke upgrades, the biggest one-time ask they’ve put forward so far. Over the past decade, Richmond has received about $40 million in senior government grants.
JASON HO
If successful, this will allow the city to move faster on upgrading pump stations and fortifying and raising the dykes. While senior levels of government provide some funding, a
regular stream of money comes via utility fees, paid for by Richmondites. So, when Richmond homeowners open their property tax bills next spring, they can expect to see an average increase of $8 to $18 on their draining and dyking utility fees (this is higher for business owners). This will help expedite raising the dykes and upgrading the pumping equipment. Global meets local Richmond got between 118 and 138 millimetres of rain over three days — amounts not seen in half a century. In fact, it was a major storm in 1948 resulting in widespread flooding that motived the municipality to dyke its perimeter. At the time, Richmond was primarily a fishing and farming community. Areas such as west Steveston used to be mainly farmland but are now filled with homes and paved driveways, explained Simon Kras, a senior project manager with WSP, an engineering company that has worked with the City of Richmond on its dyking program.
Because the earth’s atmosphere is warming, glaciers are melting and the ocean water volume is expanding as it warms up — both of these are causing sea levels to rise. Scientific estimates are that sea levels will rise one metre by the year 2100, while the city is expected to sink 20 centimetres over the same time period. Existing dykes are being raised to 4.7 metres in anticipation of this sea level rise while new ones are being built to a height of 5.5 metres. But rising sea levels aren’t the only threat to Richmond’s dyking system. A major earthquake could also cause a breach of the dyke, but fortifying the entire 49 kilometres of dyking is cost prohibitive, Kras said, so the city has focused on fortifying around the pump stations. Since 2005, the city’s ability to deal with water has increased by 29 per cent. The city’s engineering department said it is anticipating the effects of climate change, and this is why it continues to upgrade its drainage system to prepare for more “large rainfall events.” Given climate change, though, the question remains whether the city’s timeline is tight enough.

50-year rainstorm floods parts of city
A steady stream of calls — about 380 — to the city’s public works department came in on Monday about water problems, explained city spokesperson Clay Adams.
Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
City crews worked throughout the night on Monday to address outstanding service requests, and continued working through Tuesday, according to the city.
Schoolyards, the airport and several roads across Richmond were flooded after an “atmospheric river” deluged much of southern B.C. between Saturday and Monday.
The airport was also affected by flooding. A video, posted on Reddit by user AdAstraQ on Monday, showed part of the runway looking like “a lake” after flooding in the area. However, YVR tweeted that day that there had been “no major operational issues” at the airport.
Over three days, Richmond got between 118 and 138 millimetres of rain with the biggest storm it’s seen in half a century. (The 10-year average total rain in November is 175 millimetres.) Multiple areas of the city were also hit with power outages Monday — some caused by the windstorm that followed on the heels of the wet weather.
A massive tree fell across the street at Williams Road and Ash Street Monday. Community of Richmond Facebook
The excessive rain also created a “sinkhole” at Gilbert and Blundell roads on Monday. Sandbags had to be brought in as Metro Vancouver and the City of Richmond tried to prevent further flooding.
A portion of Highway 99 was shut down in both directions due to flooding. The northbound stretch between Blundell and Exit 36 at Westminster Highway was closed for much of two days. The intersection at Gilbert and Blundell was expected to re-open Wednesday.
The sanitary failure caused sewer water to pour into the intersection.
Meanwhile, a giant tree was uprooted Monday and came crashing down across a road close to South Arm Community Park — one of six trees the city had to deal with. A photo of the tree, which fell on Ash Street and Williams Road, was posted to the Community of Richmond Facebook group. The tree appeared large enough to block the road. — with files from Richmond News staff
Strangers take in mom, son stuck in Hope were travelling on Highway 7 on Sunday when the water started rising.

Fortunately, they didn’t get stuck between the two mudslides that trapped 275 people. Although they did spent the first night on Highway 7 before making their way to Hope.
Two Richmondites and a friend they’re travelling with have found shelter with a family in Hope after spending two nights in a pickup truck, trapped by flooding in the Fraser Valley. Steveston resident Deborah Groat, her 18-year-old son, Dante Styles, and a friend, Ryan, were coming back from Kelowna when they got caught in the “atmospheric river” that swept across southern B.C.
The scene outside Hope where two Richmondites were stranded. Photo submitted
As of Wednesday morning, the three were “stranded but safe.”
News in a text Wednesday morning.
After two nights in the truck, the Red Cross directed them to a church in Hope where they were billeted out to a local family.
But with financial pressures mounting — rent due at the end of the month — Groat has posted online that the three are willing to work.
Groat said she’s grateful to have a bed to sleep in and a shower. Locals were bringing food to the church for those stranded by the storm. “Hope has lovely people, locals bringing non-perishable items and pizza place donated food to local church,” Groat updated the
(Groat normally works as an educational assistant for the Richmond School District.) When the News first spoke to Groat on Tuesday, they were at the Esso station in Hope behind barricades set out on Highway 1 because of flooding.
Groat, her son and their friend got stuck because of the flooding after moving her mother to Kelowna. On their way back to Richmond from Kelowna, they
When they made it to Highway 1, Groat thought they would be able to travel home, until that highway was also shut down so they ended up spending a night at the gas station Going back to Kelowna is out of the question with the highways washed out. “Now, I’m not so sure (when we’ll get out) — people are saying it could be days or weeks,” said Groat on Tuesday. People were being air-
lifted out by helicopter but because their truck is still drivable, they won’t be taking a helicopter ride out. Flooding of the Sumas River, on the Coquihalla and the Hope-Princeton highways are blocking traffic with sections of the roads washed away. The town of Merritt was put on full evacuation order after its waste-water treatment plant failed. Groat has seen dramatic scenes of the disaster over the past few days — including water cascading down mountainsides, rising floods and rocks and debris trap-
ping cars on the road. Her son spent some time helping move rocks to get vehicles unstuck. They didn’t get much sleep in the truck, so Groat is grateful for a bed for herself and her son, while her friend continues to sleep in the truck because their host family smokes. Groat said she was happy she just bought a pair of Blundstones that are keeping her feet dry. Her son wasn’t so lucky in a pair of Nikes that were soaked through while staying on the side of the road.

Hanukkah is usually celebrated by playing dreidel, telling the Hanukkah (Chanukah) story, eating sufganiyot (deep-fried donuts filled with jam), and — most importantly — lighting the menorah, a candelabra with seven candle holders.
Rabbi Yechiel Baitelman, director at Chabad of Richmond, said the most beautiful thing about candles is that they can light up an infinite number of others without diminishing the original one.

Police chief to be dunked for cause Valerie Leung

Richmond RCMP’s Chief Supt. Will Ng will be taking a plunge in a dunk tank at the seventh annual Richmond Christmas Fund toy drive this Saturday. Every year, the Richmond RCMP partners with Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG), which runs the Christmas Fund program, to collect toys to help underprivileged families celebrate the winter holidays. Ng will be dunked in response to a local sponsor making a $10,000 donation. It’s a chilly send-off as he will be leaving the Richmond RCMP and taking on a new role with the BC RCMP later this year. “If any other sponsors are up
for the challenge, I’m willing to be dunked,” said Ng. “The reason why we are so committed (to the toy drive) is that we see our community supporting underprivileged families with young children who wake up on Christmas morning without presents, and this is our effort to help and assist our community to ensure everyone has a wonderful Christmas.” Along with watching the chief get dunked, the public is encouraged to come to the toy drive and donate a new, unwrapped toy to stuff the RCMP cruiser or to make a monetary donation of $10 or more.
Everyone who makes a donation will receive a warm bag of mini-donuts and gummy-filled goodie bags. The toy drive will take place at the Lansdowne Centre parking lot on Saturday, Nov. 20

It didn’t have the drama of an in-person competition, but the success was just as sweet for a Richmond teen who brought home not one, but three awards from this year’s International Ballet Grand Prix in Vienna. Sixteen-year-old Grace Bianchin competed in the junior classical and contemporary categories at the prestigious event. The St. Patrick Regional Secondary student placed third in the classical category and also received two special awards for outstanding stage performance as well as outstanding courage for her two dance pieces.
Grace Bianchin
“I was a bit shocked because there were some really impressive dancers in the categories I was in,” said Bianchin. Because of the pandemic, her performances were filmed and submitted for reviewing. “It was different because there’s a lot more tension when you’re in-person at the competition with all the other competitors. It gets a bit crazy and there is lots to think about, whereas a virtual competition you’re sending out something that is already filmed.” But regardless of the format, Bianchin was just happy to have the chance to compete, particularly in these difficult times. When asked if she has future plans in the dance world, Bianchin confidently said her dream is to become a professional ballet dancer and to eventually teach ballet. Bianchin is also performing in Goh Ballet’s new short documentary titled “The Reality of a Dream,” which is launching on Dec. 10. —Valerie Leung/Richmond News
