Readers debate city’s rental response Dear Editor,

Re: “City Council blind to Richmond residents’ housing needs,” Letters, first posted online. I feel it is necessary to correct the outrageous errors in Ms. Colpits letter. First, Richmond is far from the last in the provision of rental housing. The CMHC study she refers to looks at a very narrow window to rank municipalities on the number of units they constructed during that specific time. If one takes a wider view, Richmond fares very well in comparison to our neighbours. The City of Richmond’s Low End of Market Rental (LEMR) program has been increased from five per cent of units to 10 per cent and even more, to 15 per cent in the City Centre. This is by far the most aggressive program in the Lower Mainland to create affordable rental. She states they are not available to the general public. Of course, the owners of the units will seek renters in a variety of ways, including Craig’s List and Marketplace. Some are owned by not-for-profits and they seek renters from the groups they serve. But to say they are not available to the general public is simply false. The city reports the number of units secured to reflect those already built and those being built

She goes on to say that green spaces and farmland are disappearing. Where is this happening? The city is adding parks, increasing green space both publicly and as part of new development. And Richmond’s policy on new homes on farmland exceeds the provincial requirements. She claims amazement that council seems complacent to the needs of our community. What I’m amazed at is how some councillors think that by voting against new housing they are somehow helping. We need real solutions, bold initiatives and fresh thinking to combat the housing crisis. Not misplaced complaints and false accusations.

Dana Westermark RICHMOND

Dear Editor, With the exception of a few, our current city council appears to be turning a blind eye to the housing crisis in Richmond. Or even worse, they are aware of it and choose to ignore it in favour of catering to large developers. Richmond’s record of rental units versus condos is appalling. CMHC stats show that we are almost dead last in comparison to other municipalities. Condo developers continue to reap huge proﬁts while tens of thousands of Richmond residents struggle to ﬁnd appropriate housing. The city cites their LEMR program as their solution to this problem but these units have not been accessible to the general public – if they are built and offered at all. The city gives numbers of LEMR units “secured” but is less clear on how many have been built. Their own reports show the need for several thousand rentals needed, LEMR

units may have supplied a few hundred. Requests have been made for some kind of central registry and for the city to oversee the process but this has never been truly addressed. Our green spaces and farmland are disappearing while parts of Richmond now are concrete and full of towers. Looking at all the construction going on, it’s hard to believe we are still in this housing crisis. Realizing that our council is approving almost 90 per cent condos over rentals, it becomes easier to believe. Richmond is losing its identity and long-time residents are ﬁnding it impossible to ﬁnd housing they can afford. In an election year, it amazes me that most of the current council seems so complacent that they ignore the documented needs in our community.

as part of current development. Sure, they could break that down by those that are already constructed versus those still being built, but that is not the point. How many units has the city secured through registered affordable housing agreements is what matters. Over the years this program has been operating, it has provided many LEMR units, housing that would not have been built otherwise. This is a huge win for our city and it is irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

New rules curtail freedom Dear Editor, Sooooo… All of the COVID-19 protections have been lifted in B.C. We have elderly parents and have been very careful around them during this excessively long pandemic. We have been wearing masks the entire time and still do while in any public place. When the vaccine passport was implemented, we were so happy to feel somewhat safe going to the gym, enjoying a meal out, or visiting our elders in their beautiful new assisted living home. Now, masks are not required for visitors where our parents live. We still wear them in communal spaces within the building and encourage our parents to do so. We sort of understand lifting the mask mandate in public places where people have proven they are vaccinated but, discontinuing proof of the vaccine passport is insane. Now we won’t be going to the gym because people without a vaccination could pass the virus on to us and we in turn could pass it on to our parents.

ID-19 is less deadly than previous strains, but it still kills. It’s the elders who die ﬁrst and we don’t want to be the cause of anyone dying, especially elderly family members. Our freedom is being curtailed, again! People who haven’t made the effort to get a vaccine are out there carelessly spreading full-strength COVID-19 again! Yes, we know people who are fully vaccinated can be infected and spread COVID-19. But they spread a very low load of the virus. Fully vaccinated people who come in contact with infected unvaccinated people will need to contend with a much stronger virus load than if the infected person was fully vaccinated. Why did the government go to so much effort to implement the vaccine passport system to just abandon it when we are facing another wave of COVID-19? B.C., please reinstate the vaccine passport requirement for non-essential public places.

We understand the new version of COV-

Notice of Metro Vancouver Public Hearing METRO VANCOUVER REGIONAL DISTRICT REGIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY BYLAW NO. 1339, 2022

Backpay for unvaxxed unfair Dear Editor,

Re: “Backpay for unvaxxed city workers,” News, April 7 How is this fair? As I read Maria Rantanen’s article, an arbitrator upheld the city’s vaccine mandate, 36 workers refused the vaccine and were put on unpaid leave, and now the city is going to give these 36 people backpay to Feb. 21 and reinstate the vacation time for those of the 36 who used that time instead of unpaid leave. In other words, those employees who complied with the legal mandate even though they may not have wanted to, continued their work as normal and got nothing, while 36 people who decided not to follow the legal mandate got a paid vacation?

In what world is this fair?

Are the workers who complied going to be treated equally and get the same extra pay or vacation time as the rogue employees? If not, why not? Who made the decision for the city that rewarding disobedient employees was wise? Who made the decision for the union that instead of representing all the brothers and sisters, only a select few would be rewarded with a lengthy paid vacation? If I paid union dues I’d be pretty upset that a few squeaky wheels got huge windfall gains. Is there any reason why every worker won’t thumb their nose next time and just wait for backpay? If one assumes an average

salary of $5,000/month x 36 people x at least two months, we are close to $400,000 in gifts to rogue employees. Although the money is important, so are the principles involved What does it do to morale if those who do their jobs watch their hold-out counterparts get vacations?

What sort of precedent is set when, in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime health crisis, workers thumb their noses and collect their paycheques? This issue has nothing to do with pro or anti vaxxers, but rather treating everyone fairly and equally.

Yvonne Williams

Video of sex in karaoke club goes viral Some warn that sharing images without consent is cyberbullying Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Two videos showing a couple having sex inside a private room at a Richmond karaoke club blew up on social media within hours of being posted. The videos have been posted on numerous Chinese websites and shared widely on WeChat. In the two leaked video clips, it appears the couple were filmed through a window on the door of the private room. A manager from Deco Nova Karaoke Club, where the incident apparently took place, told the Richmond News they are aware of the incident but “their store (located on the third floor of Aberdeen Square) has nothing to do with these videos.” “The incident caused serious damage to our brand reputation. “First and foremost, our store doesn’t allow anyone to secretly film videos like

House ﬁre on Desmond Road Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A fire was blazing out the front windows of a house at 9660 Desmond Rd. — close to No. 1 and Francis roads — when Richmond Fire-Rescue arrived shortly after 10:30 Monday morning. The fire thankfully was contained to one room but there was smoke damage elsewhere in the house, according to deputy chief Kevin Gray. The occupants were outside the building when fire crews arrived and one man was treated for smoke inhalation. Nineteen fire fighters from four Richmond fire halls as well as BC Ambulance responded to the incident about a block from Hugh Boyd secondary. There were no injuries to fire fighting crews. By noon, the fire had been extinguished and it is now under investigation.

Trial delayed for alleged racist incident in Steveston Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Wishing you and your family a happy Easter

A trial for a couple charged with mischief in an alleged racist incident at a Steveston coffee shop was postponed to a future date. Michel Jean-Jacque Bertiaume and Astrid Maria Secreve were charged with mischief under $5,000 after it was alleged they threw coffee at staff, who were of Asian ethnicity, and uttered racial slurs at Rocanini Café in March 2021. The trial was set to start on April 8. While the complainant was on videolink from China waiting to take part in the trial, Justice G. Lee determined the defendants hadn’t been able to access the necessary ﬁles for the trial to proceed.

Bertiaume and Secreve are representing themselves in court. Bertiaume said they are seniors and so the technology for viewing the ﬁles — which were burned on CDs — is hard for them to access. Justice Lee told Bertiaume to reach out to Crown counsel for help to access the CDs,

Bertiaume also asked the judge if the trial could be moved to a location outside of Richmond such as Vancouver. Furthermore, Bertiaume told the judge he will plead not guilty, and doesn’t want to speak anymore in the trial, saying “I wash my hands” of the proceedings and adding it was “monkey business.” Members of a non-proﬁt were outside the courthouse to bring attention to the case, saying they encourage people to come forward and report any alleged racist incidents to police. “People should speak out so racist people can be educated,” said Ally Wang who represents the Stop Anti-Asian Hate advocacy group. Wang said the group took this case very seriously and that’s when they came together to organize the non-proﬁt. Both CTV and CityNews allege Secreve directed racial slurs at their crews outside the courthouse on Friday.

Dangerous intersection now has trafﬁc lights

One of the most dangerous intersections in Richmond ﬁnally has trafﬁc lights.

The lights were switched on two weeks ago at the notorious double junctions of Shell and Williams roads. Last fall, the Richmond News reported how there had been 10 collisions at the intersection in the 21 months prior. Some shocking video footage shared by nearby residents showed T-bone accidents and pedestrians being mowed down. But, hopefully, with the City of Richmond installing the signals — which had a project budget of $1.33 million — the area will be safer for drivers and pedestrians alike. In fairness, it is one of the city’s more unusual intersections, given that Williams Road is met by two Shell roads, one from the east and one from the west. And sandwich in the CN rail line and crossing and you have a problem, as evidenced by the carnage over the last few

years.

The News went down to check out the new lights last week and drivers and pedestrians should expect to wait a bit longer than usual.

Happy Easter from Wisteria Place! We celebrate all cultures, and believe in life in harmony. This Easter, we’ll be having fun celebrating in all sorts of ways.

Come join us! Call us at 604.338.5280 to book your tour.

Given there are two new sets of lights to serve both east and west intersections, there is a chance drivers can get “stranded” in the middle, waiting for green. While out taking photos and video, the News discovered that, as a pedestrian, you may have to wait what seems like an age for the crossing light. According to city spokesperson Clay Adams, the city’s portion of the budget was $700,000, with CN Rail paying $630K for the new rail signals and “integration between the train and trafﬁc systems. “While some minor roadwork is still to be completed, indications are the overall project will come in under budget.” — Alan Campbell/Richmond News

FOI documents released The adjudicator stated in his decision that much of the information was already known to both parties, and therefore, releasing the documents wouldn’t jeopardize the city’s position.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The City of Richmond has released thousands of pages documents to the Richmond News about the construction delays of an $84 million facility after a three-year tussle that involved the Ofﬁce of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC). The city had argued, because they were in a legal battle with the builder, Stuart Olson, they couldn’t release the documents.

Stuart Olson is suing the city for $7 million, claiming the city caused the delays and increased costs in the project. The Minoru Centre for Active Living was supposed to open by 2017, but it didn’t open until spring 2019. The aquatic centre portion of the facility didn’t open for another 18

Documents about delays building the Minoru Centre for Active Living were sent to the News after a threeyear tussle. Richmond News ﬁle photo months after cracks and leaks were found in and under the pool. The adjudicator disagreed with the city’s stance that releasing the documents would give away the city’s legal arguments.

Furthermore, the city also said it might be misleading if redacted documents were sent. A cursory glance at the documents — 3,578 pages in length — show not many documents have been redacted.

The documents were sent to the News Friday afternoon, just one week after an adjudicator with the OIPC ruled they were to be released by May 16. The News will be compiling a timeline of events based on these documents in the near future.

Strikers ask for city boycott Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city council expressed sympathy for locked-out Paciﬁc Gateway Hotel workers, and they asked staff to look into how the city could support the job action. The hotel workers have been picketing for more than a year, and they asked city council to boycott the hotel, saying, in the past, the city had held up to 100 events in a year there. Two representatives of the union, Unite Here local 40, explained how 143 workers were laid off while the hotel became a COVID-19 quarantine centre, funded by the federal government. During their appeal to council, the union representatives pointed out the hotel is looking into developing the property.

THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING THIS NEWSPAPER.

That’s because, as the adjudicator explained, “the vast majority of the records were created by or sent to a third party, primarily Stuart Olson and the contract administrator.”

City staff is currently reviewing a development application from Pacific Gateway Hotel to make exterior changes to the current hotel and to

add two more hotels onto the property. Treva Martell, representing the union, said hotel staff have been highly involved in the community, taking part in many charitable events, and now it’s time for the community to back them. “Now Paciﬁc Gateway employees ask for your help from the community,” Martell told city council. “Please do not give this hotel any business or grant the (development) applications. Justin Trudeau said no one should lose their jobs because of the pandemic, yet we are here.” (The union representatives referred to the application as a ”rezoning,” however, the hotel has applied for a development application.) The hotel has proﬁted from the pandemic and yet it laid off employees, so approving the application would “reward bad behaviour,” Martell said. The hotel’s federal contract ended in January. City staff will look into the situation and provide council with direction

on what they can do to support the unionized workers, who are asking the hotel to bring them back to work. The union representatives pointed out the vast majority of the workers are women, and many live in Richmond. Martell said some employees worked at the hotel for more than 40 years, adding the staff is like a “family.” When the hotel laid off 143 employees, the remaining few employees went on strike to ensure the “recall rights” of all the workers, explained Martell, who worked at the hotel as a server. Instead of waiting a month for the referral to come back from city staff, Coun. Carol Day suggested city council take immediate action by ensuring the city isn’t using the hotel. But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said that would be covered by the referral motion that city staff is dealing with. The News reached out to Paciﬁc Gateway Hotel, owned by PHI Hotel Group, but didn’t receive a reply.

Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Twenty-two reports of cryptocurrency frauds with an approximate amount of $2.6 million have been reported to the Richmond RCMP this year. According to police, fraud reports highlight three main trends that involve fake investment schemes, romance scams or individuals pretending to be government agency representatives. Cpl. Melissa Liu, spokesperson of Richmond RCMP Economic Crime Unit, said one investigation involved a victim who was reportedly defrauded $550,000. “In this case, the victim made a series of investments in what he believed were legitimate foreign exchange companies

“These fraudsters know exactly what they are doing and once they have the money it’s easy to move it so it cannot be traced or recovered.” Fraudsters are known to be “extremely convincing” and use multiple tactics to trick people such as charming or threatening them. Richmond RCMP launched a campaign in March 2020 for local businesses to display a sign near bitcoin machines, gift card carrousels or tills to warn the public of these scams. While the program was voluntary, said the Richmond RCMP, it was welcomed by various businesses in the city. Search Crpyto fraud for full story at Richmond-News.com

‘Racialized’ ﬁlmmakers not valued by network: Wang Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond independent ﬁlmmaker, along with others in the ﬁlm industry across B.C., is demanding changes at Knowledge Network, B.C.’s public broadcaster. Ying Wang, whose latest documentary secured two nominations for last year’s Canadian Screen Award, told the Richmond News she was distressed, al-

though not surprised, by a recent internal funding audit at Knowledge Network which revealed a lack of support for filmmakers from diverse communities. The 2022 audit reports that over the past seven years, only 1.7 per cent of Knowledge Network’s $2.054 million fund for kick-starting original programming went to production companies with “majority racialized” owners and staff, and zero dollars went to support Indigenous film companies. “The report triggered a series of concerns regarding the film community. First, it (the funding allocation) doesn’t reflect provincial demographics. Our communities have people from diverse backgrounds, and they all have interesting and meaningful journeys. However, their voices aren’t valued,” said Wang.

She worried the audit could discourage young, talented ﬁlmmakers of colour from entering the industry or producing stories that matter to their communities. “The organization needs a leadership that believes in fairness, equal opportunity and equity,” said Wang. Wang’s own documentary The World is Bright, which features the journey of an elderly Chinese couple as they uncover the truth behind their son’s death, was nominated last year for a 2021 Canadian Screen Award for best featurelength documentary. However, when she had ﬁrst proposed her story idea to representatives from Knowledge Network, they weren’t interested. Wang said she totally understands that people have different preferences. However, when we see a consistent pattern of underfunding projects from certain groups, we have to

question whether a rejection reflects the quality of the proposal or a bias on the part of the funder. Wang said she believes Knowledge Network is interested in tapping into the immigrant community, but it needs to show support for filmmakers of colour.

City’s top bureaucrat set to retire this summer Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s long-serving chief administrative ofﬁcer, George Duncan, will be retiring on June 30. Duncan started working for the City of Richmond in 1987 and was appointed CAO in 1997. He worked almost continuously for the city during this time. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie made the announcement at Monday’s council meeting. Brodie praised Duncan’s leadership in “civic administration, sustainability, community safety and operations.” “One only has to look around to see how our city has grown into a diverse, dynamic and wellmanaged community to see his contributions and legacy,” Brodie said in a statement.

Meanwhile, there were 878 detached, attached and apartment homes newly listed for sale in Richmond in March, up from 700 homes listed for sale in February. Across Metro Vancouver, residential home sales totalled 4,344 in March 2022, a 23.9 per cent decrease from the 5,708 sales recorded in March 2021, and a 26.9 per cent increase from the 3,424 homes sold in February 2022, said the REBGV release, noting last month’s sales were 25.5 per cent above the 10-year March sales average. “March of 2021 was the highest selling month in our history.

A Ukrainian mother and her two young children have found refuge with relatives in Richmond. But this meant Yana Demenko had to leave her husband behind in the war-torn country to ﬁght the Russian invasion. Demenko left Ukraine a month ago with her seven-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter to stay with relatives in Richmond, telling her kids they were going on “vacation.”

The kids’ question was why couldn’t dad come along with them. It was the ﬁrst time their family would be apart. “He said to them, you go with your mom and I’m going to stay to defend the country,” said Demenko.

ed,” said Demenko.

It’s like a nightmare, she added, and she cries alone a lot at night so that she doesn’t worry her kids.

The family’s home is near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, close to the Russian border. After a week of hearing gunﬁre and bombing, they decided they had to leave.

Culture shock

Like many families, Demenko said, they

“It sometimes still feels like my brain and mind is somewhere far away from here and it makes it difﬁcult for me to adjust still. It’s like a bit of a culture shock.” Financial support is what is most needed for Ukrainians ﬂeeing the country and even more so for those who have no relatives abroad. Despite being given an opportunity and safe haven for the time being, Demenko said she hopes more government support will be provided for Ukrainians during the transition.

“I told them, let’s go to Canada, it will be like a vacation,” said Demenko, speaking through a translator.

It was a necessary decision, but having support from relatives in Richmond for the past month made the transition a bit easier, despite Demenko’s limited English.

“I feel lucky and I feel the warmth of Canadians from all the support in the community,” said Demenko.

“For one week, we were hiding in a place just underneath our house and we would go back and forth a couple of times every day to take shelter when the sirens sound-

In the end, her son was so terriﬁed he didn’t want to leave the shelter. Demenko and her family were one of 15 refugee families who attended Richmond’s Kidtropolis fundraiser to support Ukrainian refugees in Canada this past weekend. Seeing children running around and playing was very peaceful, Demenko said, but she still worries about the Ukrainian chil-

“It’s about personal dignity to be able to provide for yourself and for the family,” she said, adding that English lessons would be very helpful, especially for her. “I’d love to go to work, but the kids need taking care of and if there is some form of ﬁnancial support for a couple of months then I can ﬁgure out a way to earn money to move forward.” Demenko, who is a hairdresser, said she is looking for ways to learn more English in order to serve Canadian customers, but at the moment she can only serve Ukrainian or Russian-speaking customers if she was to work.

Former Richmondite Janina Freyman, 85, president of Polish Canadian Women’s Federation No. 4, also attended the proclamation event with her three granddaughters. She said the current Ukraine crisis hit home.

Regardless, Chen said she isn’t too nervous about the championships, but it is difficult not to be somewhat anxious when competing against a lot of people. “I have more confidence (and), since I qualified for westerns, I know I can do it,” said Chen.

GVC’s Eithan Grishin scored the first goal shortly into the first period, but Rink Kelowna followed suit with a goal. Lukas Tokic and Aidan Wildeman scored two more goals and took the lead with 3-1 in the second period, and a third goal by Dylan Nazareth sealed the game with a 4-3 win for the GVC.

IN MEMORIAM

OBITUARIES

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Margaret Stewart Esson .

November 10, 1932 - April 17, 1985

In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there.

IACHETTA, Kelly Leanne (nee Styles) April 12, 1987 - February 20, 2022

SECORD, Captain Richard (Ritchie) Captain Richard Secord (Ritchie), 87, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, April 8th, 2022. He was surrounded by his family and wife, Lupita, of 45 years.

Ritchie was born on August 17th, 1934, in Athabasca, Alberta. He moved to the West Coast with his older brothers in his teens and established himself as a successful commercial fisherman. Eventually, he settled in Richmond, BC, to raise his family. Ritchie was an explorer by heart and a gifted storyteller who loved to share his curiosity and passion for the world. Whether around his beloved grandchildren at a sports venue or socializing with friends at the Steveston shipyards, Ritchie would light up a room with his kindness and warmth. He thrived being around his acquaintances, relations, shipmates, and friends. No one was a stranger in Ritchie’s company. Ritchie is survived by his loving wife (Lupita); 3 children, Diane (Damian), Jeff (Louveign), Jim (Kjerstin), and eight grandkids, Sienna, Brando, Bianca, Jaeden, Alyssa, Kyanna, Ethan, Olivia, and his extended family of nieces and nephews. Funeral Service Mass was held for Richard Tuesday, April 12th, 2022, at 5:00 pm, St. Paul Parish 8251 St. Albans Rd. Richmond, followed by a reception at 8420 Cambie Rd., Richmond, BC. Plans for a Celebration of Life for Ritchie, are in the works. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Richmond Funeral Home.

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Kelly, just 34 years old. Kelly loved her family, loved her friends and loved having fun. She was loved more than words can express, and will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have shared in her life. She is survived by her husband Mark, her parents Ernie and Diane Styles, her brother Jeff (Ana), half siblings Tyler, Shauna (Dave), nephews Cam, Cole, Nolan, Landon and niece Carmen. In lieu of flowers, Kelly would want you to consider doing a random act of kindness to remember her. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, April 23rd at 1:00pm at Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Road, Richmond, B.C.
