Let’s get it straight about the trees

Dear Editor,

Re: “Who’s top of tree” Letters, Sept 9, 2021

With the city election upon us, what better time to obtain an ac curate, consistent and precise in terpretation of the policy regarding the maintenance of what may or may not be “city trees ”

I have read the letter to the edi tor from Michael Lord and find his problem is identical to those of our neighbours in Tiffany Estates and other subdivisions.

The issue is simple: just who is responsible for the maintenance of the trees that line the city streets?

Tree protection bylaw is of no help, for every time a neighbour phones the city works yard, or city councillors for that matter, that neighbour receives a different an swer to that of another neighbour who lives on the same side of the street

The damage caused by some of

RICHMOND

the trees can be basically three types. First, overgrown branches rest on roofs and cause damage in the form of excessive moss dam age

Second, overgrown branches actually fall off and cause dam age to the roofs, gutters, chimneys and cars A third type of damage is that of falling branches that im pede in the use and enjoyment of the homeowners’ driveways, walk ways or roadways

To compound to the damages, the city has actually maintained these trees under essentially two types of programs The first is the annual general health and maintenance programs, whereby the city sends crews to control tent caterpillars, aphids and other infestations using environmentally friendly methods

This resulted in drastic pruning measures which caused a good number of trees being pruned “lop sided” and hence imbalanced

A second type of program where by the city assumes control of all “city trees” be they within the city’s jurisdiction or not is the more advanced maintenance pro gram of pruning all trees every four to seven years

An example of such a program occurred within four to six years of our new subdivision

The city sent a crew to prune all the trees’ lower branches that over hung onto the roadway because these branches impeded vehicu lar road traffic, unfortunately this caused many to be imbalanced severely in the subsequent years.

Another example happened ap proximately five to six years ago Several streets had lovely “arch ways ” or “tunnels” due to the fact there were overgrown branches Yet, the city crew came by and pruned all the trees

Thus, it is well apparent that the city does assume responsibility

over the trees that fall within their jurisdiction, as well as those trees that are marginally outside their jurisdiction so long as those trees were planted by the developer

However, whenever homeown ers individually call the city about those very same trees, they receive entirely inconsistent directives The answer sometimes depends on the distant from the curb, sometimes not

These are but a small sample, but are repeated on every street in our subdivision, and I dare say, other subdivision as well

I suspect the variety of answers is attributed either to poor training, or the city’s desire to off load the costs onto the homeowners In any event, the homeowners are entitled to a consistent answer

After all, in addition to being homeowners, we are electorates

Stop hogging left lane

Dear Editor,

Re: “Learner drivers caus ing chaos,” News, Oct. 4.

Slow traffic keep right! Traffic in Richmond could improve so very much if we could just abide by this very simple and universal driving rule.

Fluid traffic, no road rage incidents, no dangerous passing on the right lane... Richmond is unanimously the number one “Left Lane Hog City” on the Lower Mainland and it’s nothing to be proud of.

Elderly resident wrongly billed $1,400 dispensing fees

Alan Campbell

A Richmond resident is urging caregiv ers to double check their family members’ pharmacy receipts after discovering her 98 year old grandmother had been wrong ly billed almost $1,400 in dispensing fees

Brandie Mol, who has power of attorney over her grandmother Norma’s finances, said she only found out by chance in July that, for nine months, CareRX had been charging dispensing fees on a plethora of weekly prescriptions, instead of billing the private health plan provider

Mol said she informed CareRX which delivers the prescriptions direct to Norma’s care home at Courtyard Gardens straight away, but it took until September for the matter to be resolved

A spokesperson for CareRX told the Rich mond News that the company kicked off a manual audit of the account as soon as it was alerted in July to the alleged discrep ancy

However, according to Mol, the company

continued to bill her dementia suffering grandmother the disputed dispensing fees for the rest of the summer

“I get that mistakes are made, but why would they keep charging her the fees after I’d pointed out the mistake?” asked Mol.

“It took me more than two months to sort this out and I’d be concerned there are oth er vulnerable people in the same position as my grandmother getting charged these fees without even realizing

School Trustee Candidates

“They finally acknowledged over the phone that a mistake had been made and that they would be refunding the money to my grandmother’s account

“But they refused to send anything in writ ing about the mistake and refund ”

In its statement to the News, a spokesper son for CareRX said that it was an “admin istrative error ” and that “accurate customer billing is a priority at CareRx and we take matters like this very seriously ”

The spokesperson added that the com pany which claims to be “Canada’s leading provider of pharmacy services” could not go into specific details about the client in question for privacy reasons, but did acknowledge that Mol contacted them about her concerns in late July

“We immediately began an audit of the resident’s billing history Given that the audit is a manual process that is time in tensive, we informed the resident’s grand daughter that this would take some time,” said the spokesperson

“Upon completion of that audit, it was de termined that there was an error with the Pharmacy Enrollment Package that resulted

in medications not being billed to the pri vate insurance company correctly

“When the error was identified, we imme diately corrected the misinformation in our system, contacted the insurance company on behalf of the resident, and promptly re imbursed the resident for the full amount of the fees that were incorrectly billed ”

CareRX, added the spokesperson, has also “put specific flags on the resident’s ac count to prevent this from occurring again

“We sincerely regret the frustration the resident and her family experienced.”

The company said it has a “robust audit process that includes monthly checks on all resident billings,” noting that it believes the incident with Mol’s grandmother was “iso lated ”

As for continuing to bill Norma Mol for the dispensing fees after the error had been highlighted, CareRX said it wanted the cli ent’s continuity of care to remain intact while the matter was investigated

Mol has contacted her MP, Parm Bains, and MLA, Henry Yao, and is still concerned her grandmother’s case is not isloated

Couple pleads guilty to racist incident in coffee shop

Accused calls judge’s decision to hear community impact statements ‘preposterous’

less of their race, but she has found “the Chinese community in Richmond very chal lenging ”

A couple involved in a racist incident at a Steveston coffee shop has pleaded guilty

However, Michel Jean Jacque (Eric) Ber thiaume and Astrid Maria Secreve who have been defending themselves against mischief charges won’t be sentenced until a later date

At Richmond Provincial Court on Oct 11, the pair admitted their part in an incident at Steveston’s Rocanini Coffee Roasters in 2021, when a cup of coffee was poured on the floor, a cup was thrown at a barista, and “f*** you Chinese” was uttered

After their guilty plea, Crown counsel asked the judge for a suspended sentence with 18 months’ probation including 100 hours of community service

The court was told by Crown counsel how Berthiaume, 74, showed no remorse and that Secreve, 76, had downplayed the im pact of the incident on the barista

When Richmond Provincial Court Judge Diana Vandor asked if Secreve received a copy of the Crown’s cases and barista Nikki Tan’s victim impact statement, Crown counsel Darren Tam said Secreve had thrown her copy at staff at the Crown’s of fice

When Secreve was provided with anoth er copy of the victim impact statement dur ing the sentencing hearing, she returned it to Tam, saying it was, “All B S ”

The court was also told the pair were not of good character, with reference made to a police file with previous alleged racist incidents

Berthiaume, meanwhile, told the judge that both he and Secreve should be abso lutely discharged with no conditions

He said that there’s no point in the pair getting any counselling at their age be cause they’re not going to change and that he wouldn’t be prepared to do 100 hours of community service Community service objection

They are both objecting to receiving any kind of community service, with Secreve saying she doesn’t have time due to charity work commitments and her poor health

Berthiaume claimed he was remorseful and that, despite pleading guilty, he sug gested the victim is resilient, calling her “ a

liar” who staged the whole incident

He added that he and Secreve are suf fering from the after effects of COVID and have to deal with brain fog

“We’re seniors, we’re no thugs”

“I wished it never happened We’re se niors, we ’ re no thugs,” he added

He said the couple now doesn’t go out for a meal or even for coffee because of the incident

Choking up, he said they have grandchil dren in Holland and how he can’t believe how much negative publicity the pair has received Berthiaume said he felt the cou ple had been scapegoated by the Chinese community and that he wants to return to Quebec

Secreve, on the other hand, told the Court she preferred people to be polite regard

She added that she, too, wanted to “get out of thisw province ”

Pair want “nightmare” over

On Tuesday morning, Secreve told the court that she would like to plead guilty, and Berthiaume followed suit

“The reason I’m pleading guilty this morn ing is we want this nightmare to be over, ” said Berthiaume, and said his health was “ more important ”

Prior to the couple’s decision to change their pleas, Berthiaume informed the court of his concerns about the couple’s safety, unfair media coverage and political pres sure

According to Berthiaume, Secreve was assaulted the day after the September trial by a “Chinese fellow” who threw “ a rock” at her

“(The case) is exactly the type of scenario that can bring in vigilantes from the Chi nese community to shoot at us, ” Berthiaume said

He also claimed the News’ coverage had “distorted the facts” by not saying the trial was for mischief charges

On Wednesday, the judge said she would accept impact statements from the commu nity at large, which Berthiaume called “ pre posterous ”

A sentencing date is expected to be set on Monday.

Richmondite worries for family in Iran amid protests

Valerie Leung

“The internet was disconnected We couldn’t talk to them ”

Tila Akhavan, a Richmond resident, is worried for her family who is in Iran during the ongoing protests triggered by the death of a 22 year old woman

“I couldn’t contact them for awhile and I was just praying for their safety,” said Akhavan

“I couldn’t focus on my work and ev ery time I looked at my Instagram there was always nothing ”

With the help of several Canadian telecommunication companies, many Iranians like Akhavan living in Canada were offered free, if not cheaper, phone plans to contact their families overseas

For the past couple of weeks, thou sands of protesters in Iran took to the

streets to vent their anger over the treat ment of women and repression in gen eral in the Islamic Republic

These protests began as a reaction to the death of Mahsa Amini, a

Amini had been detained by Iran’s moral ity police in the capital of Tehran for alleg edly not following Iran’s strict Islamic dress code.

Videos shared across social media showed women throwing their hijabs on fires during the protests

In response, the Iran government has re stricted social media usage, such as What sApp and Instagram

Akhavan told the Richmond News that the protests have “nothing to do with their reli gion and the cover (hijab) ”

“The protests are about the pressure the government has had on people like the hijab police, which is something that has been going on for years, ” she said

“The hijab is a personal thing and women are tired of being pressured to wear it They shouldn’t be beaten to death like Mahsa ”

Canadians have also taken to the streets to protest in solidarity with those in Iran

Akhavan is hoping Canadians will am plify the voices of protesters in Iran

“We have the freedom to share our thoughts, but people in Iran don’t have a voice so I’m hoping people (here) can be our voice and let everyone know what is happening inside Iran,” she said

“Do not let them kill us in our own home behind closed doors. Help us please.”

Don’t let them kill us in our home behind closed doors Help us please

School trustee candidates in their own words

The Richmond News has been busy soliciting the profiles and some key information from all 15 school trustee candidates for the civic election being held on Saturday, Oct. 15.

We asked them why they are running for office and what they believe to be the three key issues in this year’s election.

Don’t forget to check out all the latest election news on our dedicated section at Richmond-News.com/2022civic-election.

The News will be posting live results from the election of a mayor, eight councillors and seven school trustees as they come in after 8 p.m. on election night.

Please note, in this section, we have also included profiles for two city council candidates, Andy Hobbs and Jerome Dickey, which had incorrect information in last week’s print edition.

Name: Dean Billings

: Software project manager

Why are you running for office:?

I believe we are pursuing fashionable policies that sound good but are not right for Richmond. Richmond is a wonderful community, blessed with many advantages, and we should be leading the province in academics. Instead, we appear to be racing to place intersectionality as our sole core value.

At a time when our budget shortfall has us losing approximately 19 staff, our priority is public art. While we have a public health crisis in overdoses, our district has no clear policy I believe we need to refocus on core academics and demand more transparency

Key issues in this election:

First, we need to put together a plan to become a nation-leading district in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

Second, we should focus on students at risk of suicide, drug addiction and extremism.

Third, with the significant gender identity demographic changes we’re seeing, we need to require that health education explain the risks of puberty blockers in plain language to students and parents.

SOGI, school closures focus of trustee debate

Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND NEWS COM

Advocacy was the word of the night at last week’s school trustee all candidates meeting in Richmond

Hosted by the Richmond Teachers’ Asso ciation, all 15 candidates including six incumbents were asked questions about the teacher shortage, the Sexual Orienta tion and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy as well as school closures

person David Sadler, rather, students are referred to a family doctor or the youth mental health clinic, The Foundry

But Billings said he thinks the school dis trict should be reporting on how many stu dents are “socially transitioning ”

REP candidate Heather Larson, however, said there’s a need for accurate informa tion about SOGI, adding it’s not a piece of curriculum or a subject, rather it’s a policy aligned with the B C Human Rights Code

While most candidates focused on their role to advocate for more provincial re sources, some also acknowledged their role could be to close schools as well

This was in response to the question whether trustees would close a school if district staff recommended they do so Incumbent trustee Ken Hamaguchi, run ning with the Richmond Education Party (REP) said, when he was first elected, he visited a lot of high schools and “virtually every high school principal” told him “ you got to close down a high school ”

This is because schools with lower enrol ment can’t offer a full suite of programs, un like when he was in school and there were a “wealth of elective classes ”

“ I feel that our students are being short changed,” he said

It’s “ never easy to talk about school clo sures, ” said REP candidate David Yang, but he’s concerned about declining enrolment, something neighbourhood planning could help alleviate He suggested working with the city to create more affordable housing “ so that families and staff can afford to stay in the city ”

Meanwhile, incumbent Richard Lee said the “burden of proof” would be on district staff to show the need to close a school Independent candidate Kay Hale, mean while, said it would be a “fiscal decision” but if necessary, she’d support closure with a “heavy heart ”

Most candidates support SOGI

Dean Billings, running as an independent, has stated he’d like to “modernize” SOGI Billings said he supports some aspects of the SOGI policy, like anti bullying, but ad justments are needed in “gender affirming care ” because using puberty blockers have “life long consequences ”

“Parents need to be aware of what the school system will not tell you because of those privacy restrictions,” Billings said However, schools don’t address medical or pharmaceutical issues related to transi tioning, explained school district spokes

“Schools create inclusive environments and ensure that sexual orientation and gen der identity resources are included, and ev ery child gets to see who they are and be who they are, ” she said.

Richmond Community Coalition (RCC) candidate Rod Belleza said, in support of SOGI, everyone should be free of dis crimination no matter their race, religion or sexual orientation Meanwhile, REP candi date Chris Dinnell said when his son “ came out” in Grade 10, his school experience improved dramatically, as he felt included and respected

Andrew Scallion, also with REP, currently sits on the SOGI advisory committee and said it ensures the policy is implemented and schools are a “safe space ”

REP candidate Debbie Tablotney pointed out a recent survey showed 62 per cent of LGBTQ students still feel “unsafe” at school, while 92 per cent of teachers felt schools were safe; there seems to be a “discon nect,” she said, and the policy is needed to ”help build support for learning environ ments ”

While independent candidate Rajan Paul said the issue is how the school system can support children, Richmond United candi date Donna Sargent said SOGI is about human rights and was driven by students who felt the school district wasn’t safe enough for LGBTQ students

“If you believe in human rights, you believe in the SOGI policy,” Sargent said.

The vote in 2017 to pass the SOGI was a contentious one and public meetings were marked with loud protests At that vote, then trustee Alice Wong, voted for it, but later said she did so by mistake Today, she says she is pro SOGI, but at the time wanted more consultation.

RCC candidate Linda Li pointed out SOGI learning resources have been evalu ated and deemed to be “ age appropriate” while her running mate Rachel Ling called for better communication on the policy, but also a need to “celebrate” its success

Richmond singer finds community at Vancouver Arts Fest

Valerie

A Richmond singer will be performing at his first ever festival later this month at the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival (VOAF)

“I’m always a little bit nervous (about per forming), but I think not so much for this one because I actually feel like I fit in, even though it’s called an ‘outsider’ arts festival,” said singer songwriter Jason Qiu, who will be performing on Saturday, Oct 15

“I don’t always feel like I fit in when I’m part of a multi act set I think in this case we all kind of bond in this one way where we all feel like we don’t really belong ”

VOAF is presented by the Community Arts Council of Vancouver (CACV) and is Can ada’s “first and only outsider art festival ” The platform provides “ a much needed platform to celebrate artists who live and work outside of mainstream cultural spac es, ” reads VOAF’s media release

To take part in the festival, artists must be self identified outsiders or doing something “that feels a little out of the mainstream or off the beaten path,” as Qiu had put it Qiu said he has two big reasons for feel

ing out of place his bilingual music and his age

“I don’t see a lot of Asian Canadian artists that are really singing mainstream pop in both Chinese and English, or at least writ ing (in both languages) as well,” he said

“I really enjoy performing in both, and so sometimes when I play a predominantly English speaking audience, I don’t know whether I should play Chinese songs ”

Writing music in Chinese allows Qiu to connect with his ethnicity and ancestry since mainstream Chinese pop music was a big part of his childhood as a second generation Chinese Canadian

“It’s really important to keep that, for me, especially growing up here You don’t always hear a lot of Chinese and I didn’t always have a chance to speak a lot of Chi nese as well,” he said

Language is also important to Qiu’s music as he hopes to connect with his audience with messages about pain, since “pain is universal ” Writing bilingual music allows Qiu to tell stories effectively as nuances in metaphors and vocabulary can get lost in translation

“There’s just so much that you can say that it can’t be conveyed properly between two languages,” he explained

But Qiu worries that his audience might find it difficult to connect with his music

“I’m not sure if I’m 100 per cent em braced,” said Qiu

Qiu, who is turning 40 next month, said his age also makes him feel like an outsider as an emerging artist

“When you say ‘emerging,’ there’s this idea that maybe there’s a certain age to it,” he said, adding that some funding programs for “emerging artist” have age limits

“With age also comes, for me, insecurity because I’m also sharing the stage with

artists that are sometimes as much as at least a decade younger than myself So it’s sometimes that feeling like maybe ‘I’m just too old for this,’ ‘I shouldn’t be doing this anymore

Despite having been trained in classical music from a young age, Qiu still considers himself a new artist

“Around three years ago, I just kind of lost myself I was really involved with being a parent and all of that (and) just hadn’t done music for a long time And that felt like something was missing,” he said

Qiu went back to “ a proverbial shoebox in a closet,” by literally digging out his microphone stored in a shoebox, and an unsuccessful choir audition inspired him to find his voice and regain his confidence by being a singer songwriter

“I think it’s really important that we under stand that life doesn’t end at a certain age Your creative output, your creative potential doesn’t have to end at a certain age, ” he said

“I don’t ever want to reach my potential because that ladder always just keeps go ing up and up and up ”

The 6th VOAF is held from Oct 14 to 16 at The Roundhouse Community Arts & Rec reation Centre

Young writer, age six, publishes her first story

A young writer from Richmond just got her first ever story published in an anthology by kids for kids

“Magical Critter Saves the Day” by six year old Brianna Law tells the tale of a uni corn and a pony coming to the rescue of a unicorn who fell into a hole

Law, an avid reader who started writing when she was in kindergarten, had never competed in a writing contest before

“For characters, I used unicorns because I like them And I used the names of my

friends,” said Law She also wanted to ap ply what she learned at school and include problems and solutions in the story

Law told the Richmond News she was “happy” and had fun while writing the sto ry, and the best part was making “anything and everything” possible

“She was very excited about it,” said mom Catherine Lau, who told Law the “sky’s the limit” for her story

The hardest thing about writing the story, said Law, was spelling different words such

as the unicorns’ names

The story was shortlisted for publication after Law submitted it to DC Canada Edu cation Publishing’s story writing contest A total of 350 stories were submitted by kids across Canada

The contest was judged based on “origi nality, word choice, fluency/organization, and spelling,” explained DC Canada edi tor Kara Cybanski, and Law’s story was “impressive” for a writer at her age Law’s parents, who found out about the

contest through word of mouth, are “thank ful” they can “ see that she’s making prog ress ” in reading and writing

“For us, it’s important for her [to be] able to start writing at an age as young as she has It’s just something rewarding for us as parents,” said dad Aaron Law

Details about the contest and the purchase link for DC Canada’s One Story a Day by Kids for Kids anthology are available on DC Canada’s website

Jason Qiu will be perform ing at Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival on Oct 15

That’s why I’m excited to support John Roston for mayor I’ve worked with John in his efforts to support electric vehicle uptake in the city, and know him to be a strong leader and advocate with great integrity and vision

On Council, Carol Day and Michael Wolfe have proven they will fight for the things we are concerned about: transparent government, a safe, equitable and affordable city for all, and concrete action on the climate emergency

To move things forward in the right direction faster, we need more voices to join them on council. Jerome Dickey and Laura Gillanders are experienced community leaders who have demonstrated they can be effective voices for change

Richmond desperately needs fresh voices and leadership. This election, I am supporting the entire RITE Richmond team, and I hope you will too!

The Richmond commu nity has lost a respected female leader after she passed away last week

Described as a proud li brarian and a “respected” woman, Sophie McDou gall passed away at the age of 94

McDougall was a found ing member of the Rich mond Public Library and the Canadian Federa tion of University Women (CFUW), which was previ ously known as the Rich mond University Women’s Club

In 1967, McDougall and a group of “like minded graduate women ” formed the University Women’s Club of Richmond, and nothing stopped her from missing a meeting until she was challenged by health issues

“She was listened to and respected,” said Gale Rocky, president of CFUW Richmond, in a media statement

“She served a term as club president and was opinionated and active on many issues Always a stickler for Robert’s Rules and the correct way of conducting meetings, she

would often rise on a ‘Point of Order’ ”

The Richmond High alumna also had a pas sion for libraries after hav ing completed her Bach elor of Library Science degree from University of Washington

A common phrase she said to up and coming librarians was that “You have to be very curious and you can’t rest until you find the answer!”

Her delight in her profes sion and libraries saw an opportunity for a “better library system” in Rich mond

She led a group to es

tablish the Friends of the Library in 1970 to support the development of an in dependent public library in Richmond and not just a branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library system

“They were ultimately successful and the Friends of the Library continues to support Richmond Public Library to this day,” reads the statement

McDougall was award ed a special certificate for her dedication and ser vice for her 50 years with the CFUW in 2017 and was named “CFUW No table Woman” during the club’s 100th anniversary in 2019

Pumpkin grower takes B.C. title

Alan Campbell

He didn’t break his own record, but Richmond’s Dave Chan is still the reign ing king of the pumpkin patches in B.C.

Every year, Chan grows a plethora of giant pumpkins on his property in east Richmond, in the hopes of them weighing in as biggest in the region. He smashed his own record last year, as well as the provincial record with a whopping 1,911 pounds

On Saturday at Krause Berry Farms in

Langley, Chan reigned supreme once more, this time tipping the scales at 1,676 pounds and boasting the third largest gourd in Canada

And Chan told the Richmond News that this year ’ s giant was grown from the seeds of last year ’ s monster

“There are more weigh offs to come, ” added Chan, noting he thinks he has an even heavier pumpkin waiting to be transported to a competition in Portland, Ore , this Saturday

Last Saturday’s weigh in in Langley is the only certified one of its kind in West ern Canada

Nikkei memorial wins national design award

A Steveston memorial commemorating the history of the Japanese people has received a national award

The National Society of Landscape Architects chose the Steveston Nikkei Me morial project, created by Hapa Collaborative, for an award of excellence The jury was unanimous in its decision, finding it beauti ful “both in concept and execution ”

The jurors described the memorial as a “simple, el egant, community driven, commemorative design re sponse that makes a signifi cant contribution to recon ciliation for the internment of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s in British Colum bia ”

The jurors found the pave ment details “particularly

intriguing and beautiful ”

The paving stones on the ground represent the weav ing Japanese women did during internment despite the harsh conditions

The project was started in 2017 as the 75th anniver sary of the removal of the Japanese from Steveston and Richmond was ap proaching

“I really want to honour our parents and grandpar ents for the injustice they suffered as well as the re silience and perseverance to survive that,” said Kelvin Higo, who himself was the son of a Japanese fisher man, in 2019 when it was completed.

Joseph Fry with Hapa Col laborative was chosen to design the Steveston Nikkei Memorial.

As the site beside the Ste veston Tram building was being considered for the memorial, Hapa Collab orative pitched the idea of making the whole site a me morial instead of just hav ing one piece of public art

The Steveston Nikkei Me morial includes two large boulders with a crevasse between them that repre sents the separation of the Japanese community from their home in Steveston as they were sent out to intern ment camps in B C and be yond to work on farms

The boulders are granite from Quebec and represent the fact the Japanese were sent as far away as the Ca nadian Shield.

The names of the intern ment camps are engraved into the boulders There is also a constellation of mark ers symbolizing the other places where the Japanese were sent

Fair aims to bridge gap between East and

communities

Leung

It’s not easy to step out of your comfort zone, but a Richmond festival organizer hopes to help new Asian immigrants do just that Richmondite Christine Sher, the owner of tutoring business RL Education, wants new Asian immigrants to build their confidence in reaching out to Western communities and businesses to bridge the communica tion gap between the two She’s hosting the Canadian Culture Chil dren’s Festival at the Richmond Oval on Sunday, Oct 16

“I want to give these new immigrants the confidence to say that Westerners are very approachable, and they are willing to help and introduce them to Western culture and ways, ” said Sher

Creating a dialogue, she added, is the

first step in building cohesion between families from different cultural communities

The festival is Sher’s way of helping fami lies who often tell her they “don’t know where to start ”

The festival will be held inside the Rich mond Olympic Experience Museum from 10 a m to 5 p m this Sunday

Families can expect music, free food, en tertainment, educational booths and virtual games at the Richmond Olympic Experi ence Museum

The booths will showcase educational and extracurricular resources in Richmond

Sher told the Richmond News she noticed that communities “strive together best” when there is a common cause and there is no better cause than their children’s future.

“The festival helps educate parents about the resources that Richmond offers, whether it’s educational planning for chil dren, or entertaining them with after school activities that aren’t their iPads,” she said
