Posing in pink won’t stop bullying

You probably know the story already, but just to set the stage...

In 2007, a boy in Nova Scotia was bullied at school for wearing a pink shirt. Shortly after, two other boys wore pink shirts to stand in solidarity against bullying. The story went viral and now most provinces in Canada have one day in the year declared Pink Shirt Day

For B.C. that’s February 22.

Now, it’s not like no one had heard of bullying before the Nova Scotia incident. In fact, there already were several initiatives underway in schools to combat the pernicious problem, but the pink shirt was a tangible symbol that people could rally around and rally they did

It quickly took hold with schools, sports organizations, the media, politicians and community leaders all getting on board and posing in their pinks.

I remember one year frantically rummaging through drawers trying to find something pink for my son to wear (He wore it but balked at the ever-so-subtle scalloped edging.)

Also impressive is how the Pink Shirt fire has yet to die out. As school board chair Debbie Tablotney tells it (page 20) twenty-five years later, students are still decking themselves out in pink, designing pink posters, waving pink flags.

But as great as all that is, I wasn’t surprised to see a recent tweet where someone said they had been bullied in school and while there wasn’t Pink Shirt Day back then, if there was, their bullies would have been the first to wear a pink shirt.

That’s not the first time I’ve heard that.

In February 2019, our front page headline read “Pink Farce Day” harsh, I’ll admit. Not surprisingly, I was taken to task on it. One school trustee saw me in public and had some choice words Her point, and I do have sympathy for it, was

Pink Shirt Day is a student-led initiative. Young people have put their hearts and souls into their various pink projects and for the paper to deride the whole campaign was, well, bullying in itself.

Cutting down a bunch of well-meaning kids, obviously, was not our intent. And in our defence, we did celebrate some of their pink projects inside the paper, but I get that the front page carries weight.

What we were trying to do with that story was go beyond the posing in pink narrative because for some that’s all it is.

Along with that decidedly provocative headline was a photo of a mother and her two sons, one of whom she said had been terribly bullied at school.

She was already beyond frustration with what she felt was a lack of support from the school administration in dealing with the issue, but when she saw one of her son’s tormentors show up at school on Pink Shirt Day wearing (you guessed it) a pink shirt...well, that’s when she called us. And, frankly, I’m glad she did.

We can debate the merits of putting that story on the front page, but what is not debatable is the fact fashion statements and pretty posters alone won’t create change. In fact, on their own, they only create obfuscation and further isolation.

I understand that, as one teacher said (page 22), all those “pink” projects are an “entry point” to conversations about bullying, inclusion, difference and discrimination. That’s great, and I’m sure we’re in a better place for that. I also accept his point that the vast majority of kids come from a genuine place.

That said, we humans are capable of remarkable cognitive dissonance. The T-shirts we wear and the behaviours we engage in don’t always align.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t support Pink Shirt Day I support it 100 per cent. Wearing a symbol of solidarity in the name of kindness is powerful and inspiring. I also know it only has meaning if we’re also hearing stories like the one we had on our front page.

OPINION

LETTERS

Open letter to Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure:

I’d like to address the inadequacy of Highway 91 (AKA the Richmond Connector), specifically the stretch between the Westminster Highway interchange and Shell Road

When the second phase of the highway was built in 1989, the population of Metro Vancouver was about 1 5 million

Today, with over a million more residents, the highway remains as it did when opened 33 years ago I find this unacceptable

As one of two highways to Richmond and YVR, I strongly feel Highway 91 should be widened and several interchanges be improved

Access ramps eastbound from Highway 99, Knight Street, and

CPR training, AEDs critical

Dear Editor,

Connector needs improvements Accidents cause havoc

No 6 Road currently cause major bottlenecks the equivalent of five lanes of traffic narrows to two

Some believe limiting the number and size of Metro Vancouver’s highways will discourage the use of single-occupant vehicles, and therefore have a positive impact on our environment

That belief is more and more irrelevant as the availability of alternate-fueled vehicles becomes a reality and citizens continue to want the freedom of their own vehicles, especially when public transit is not an option

We are “behind the curve ” in keeping up with the current volume, let alone coping with future volume as the area grows continually

On Friday, Jan 13, I collapsed due to a cardiac arrest while playing recreational hockey at the Richmond Ice Center

Our goaltender, Todd Roberts, who is a retired firefighter, administered CPR and defibrillation with an AED

This rapid action by my teammates, rink staff, Richmond paramedics and firefighters saved my life My family and I will be forever grateful.

As so many doctors told me “ you had excellent CPR ” This event underlines the importance of community members

receiving training in CPR, the use of an AED and the availability of AEDs in public facilities

Time is critical, so please remember to yield to an ambulance or firetruck the next time you see the flashing lights and sirens Seconds count!

I would also like to thank all the doctors and nurses at the Richmond Hospital Emergency Dept and ICU for their exceptional care

Happily, I am now recovering at home with the support of my family

Dear Editor,

“Video: Watch tractor-trailer smash into Richmond overpass, ” Online, Feb 13

The string of errant truck drivers slamming their raised truck beds into overpasses seems like a regular occurrence here in the Lower Mainland, especially Richmond

Have there been any real consequences for the companies employing these drivers? The impact to commuters on our busy roads is further exacerbated by the closures and safety inspections after these accidents

When will these damaged roadways be repaired? Who foots the bill? What preventative measures are being done by these truck companies? Is the government able to recoup the costs associated with the repairs and collect meaningful penalties from these same companies? Are these trucks not properly maintained or is this a reflection of lack of training? Please let us know. Thanks.

Tractor-trailer smashes into Cambie overpass

and subsequent safety of the overpass.

Police probing snow geese deaths on roads

Video has surfaced of last week’s tractor-trailer smashing into the Cambie Road overpass on Knight Street in Richmond.

The dashcam footage, posted on Twitter by @CarraDeShaukeen, shows the vehicle with its trailer in the upright position a full 100 yards before it smacked into the overpass on Friday morning.

The crash led to massive rush hour delays in Richmond, with Knight Street southbound closed at Bridgeport Road and the Cambie overpass was also closed above Knight Street.

Richmond RCMP told the Richmond News on Friday that

the driver was “uncooperative” with investigators.

A safety crew was at the scene to assess the damage

No injuries were reported, but many commuters were affected by the street closures.

Cambie Street reopened for traffic with the exception of the westbound curb lane at around 9 p.m. on Friday Knight Street also reopened fully in all directions.

The incident is being investigated by Richmond Road Safety Unit with help from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement branch of the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Those with information or dashcam footage on this incident are asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file #2023-4381.

Police are urging Richmond drivers to be extra vigilant over the next few weeks, after two flocks of what’s believed to be snow geese were hit by vehicles

On Monday, around 20 of the migratory birds were found dead on Blundell Road close to Blundell elementary and Gilbert Road that morning

And on Wednesday, at around 5:40 a m , a similar report was made to Richmond RCMP about an incident near No 1 and Francis roads in west Richmond

This time, the officers arrived to find three of the geese had been killed after apparently being struck by a vehicle

The Mounties and City of Rich-

mond crews were able to clear the roadway, and traffic warning signs have been set up in the area

However, the RCMP said, at this time, there is “ no evidence to suggest a criminal intent or a link between the two incidents ”

But they are asking drivers to take extra care at a time when the geese and other fowl are migrating to various waterways, often having to cross roads to get there

“Every year at this time we see large numbers of migratory birds flocking to our local greenways, fields, parks and school grounds,” said Cpl Ian Henderson of the Richmond RCMP

“But they also move out onto nearby roadways Drivers need to slow down and pay attention to the roadways, especially in poorly lit areas and during the early morning hours ”

Controversial definition defended, criticized

violations against Palestinians.”

A long list of definitions of racism was approved by Richmond city council, but the one that sparked the most debate was a definition of antisemitism

A Palestinian activist argued the definition, written by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), has been “weaponized” to shut down criticism of Israel, while some Jews who supported the definition felt it was the right one, especially in the light of their “lived experience ”

Coun Alexa Loo introduced a motion for city council to endorse the broad range of definitions of racism used by the Government of Canada and it included the IHRA definition

The list of definitions also includes definitions of antiAsian and anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, colonialism and systemic and institutional racism

The definition has also been opposed by some labour groups, the BC Civil Liberties Association as well as the Independent Jewish Voices. However, it has also been supported by five local Jewish groups

Michael Sachs, with the Jewish National Fund, told councillors that antisemitism is “alive and well in our city,” in addition to other forms of hate and discrimination

“Sadly, there are some who do not wish for our Jewish community and others to define their own oppression and you need to ask yourselves why,” Sachs told city council

The fact the focus of discussion at the city council meeting, out of 13 definitions, was on antisemitism showed the need for these definitions, he said

“Let me be clear, no one can define antisemitism for us, and I would never try to define (other people’s) discrimination for them,” he added

the world” as a liberal democracy

He said Jews have an “inherent right” to be in Israel and compared it to First Nations in Canada who are working toward reconciliation with those who immigrated here

clarifying that the definition didn’t stop anyone from criticizing any government or state

However, that didn’t satisfy Bilal Khan, a Richmond resident who said despite the amendment, the IHRA definition includes the example, “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” as antisemitic

In fact, he argued, a number of examples of antisemitism included in the IHRA definition explicitly refer to the state of Israel (these examples weren’t included in the Richmond city council documents) As such, the amendment is contradictory to the definition

They were in front of council for a final vote after being discussed at length at last week’s committee meeting

Alisair Guneid, a Palestinian activist and Richmond resident, told city council the IHRA definition has been “weaponized” and “unfairly used to shut down criticism of the Israeli occupation ”

She added that “ a significant amount of what’s considered antisemitic is in fact critical speech directed at Israeli human-rights

Sachs told the Richmond News after the meeting that all five Jewish organizations in Richmond sent letters in support of the motion to city council

The IHRA reads, “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews

Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities ”

As for the question of Israel, former school trustee Norman Goldstein told city council the country is a “bright light in that part of

“ Jewish people are the Indigenous people of the land of Israel,” Goldstein said

“To say that Jews would not have a special right to Israel, I would call that a racist statement in itself,” he added

Above council’s ‘pay grade’

Coun Carol Day said determining the precise definition of antisemitism is above city council’s “ pay grade” and is not something they should wade into City council’s business is roads, development permits and parkland, she said “I can’t support this today because this is way bigger than the nine of us, ” Day said Last week, at a committee meeting, an amendment was tacked onto the motion,

Coun Kash Heed echoed Bilal, saying he felt the two pieces of the motion were contradictory, questioning whether he’d be antisemitic if he criticized the “repressive nature of the Israel government ”

Coun. Laura Gillanders, however, said the examples in the IHRA mention Israel, but they don’t stop the criticism of Israel

The line of anti-Semitism is crossed when the comparison is made between Israeli policies and the Holocaust, she added

But Khan said, where free speech is concerned, he should be able to compare, for example, how the Chinese government is treating the minority Uyghur population –which is Muslim – to the Holocaust

The motion to accept the group of definitions was passed in a 6-3 vote, with Couns. Heed, Day and Michael Wolfe in opposition

Landlords can tackle illegal Airbnbs

Vikki Hui

All short-term rentals in Richmond require permits, but the number of listings on websites such as Airbnb far exceeds the number of licenced operations in the city

The Richmond News recently reported a local condo owner had kicked out his tenant after discovering that the tenant was running a short-term rental business

The tenant had rented the unit under the guise of a family home for herself and her son.

Hunter Boucher, vice-president of operations for LandlordBC, said although similar

incidents are not “rampant by any means, ” they do happen.

One way for landlords to seek recourse would be eviction

“The reality is, in many cases, when a tenant rents the unit through something like Airbnb without the landlord’s permission or consent, they’re likely breaching their tenancy agreement,” said Boucher

If that’s the case, a landlord could simply issue a notice to end the tenancy

However, LandlordBC recommends negotiating with tenants first to get them to stop, as some may not be aware of the rules and regulations

“Where the real concern comes in, is people who professionally do this,” said

Boucher

“This is situations where they rent the unit with full intention to potentially never even live in the unit and simply rent it out on Airbnb making profit ”

Doing so, said Boucher, would affect the unit’s insurance, liability and even relationship with strata

“So in those cases, you ’ re probably not going to get much in the way of compliance just by giving a warning ”

And kicking the tenant out may not be the end of the matter, as some stratas might impose fines on illegal short-term rentals

Landlords may dispute fines at the Civil Resolution Tribunal, and they can also seek payment from the tenant through the Resi-

dential Tenancy Branch’s dispute services Boucher also advises landlords to do the following:

- Do a thorough reference check, making sure addresses match up

- Include a clause in the tenancy agreement that explicitly forbids short-term rentals

- Do regular inspections of the unit and watch for telltale signs which may include a lack of personal belongings and impersonal furnishing

- Maintain a good relationship with neighbours and the strata. They can alert you to signs that the unit is being used for shortterm rentals and provide evidence if necessary

News uncovers insurance scam involving new cars

Exporting cars illegally is nothing new, but the Richmond News has recently uncovered yet another example of a scam that is luring Richmondites looking for “ a quick buck ”

A recent ad on a couple of Chineselanguage websites, including Vansky and Little Red Book (similar to Craigslist or Kijiji), asks people if they have a good credit score and “want to make a quick buck,” noting that the scheme is “totally legit ”

After replying to the ad, a Richmond New reporter learned the “quick buck” would be made by committing insurance fraud

The man who responded to our inquiry, Fred (not his real name), told the reporter all he had to do was go to a dealership, put a down payment on a car and secure short-term financing Money for the down payment and first three months of financing would be supplied in cash by Fred

While at the dealership, the reporter was

told to also purchase new car insurance

Once in possession of the car, the reporter was to drive it directly to a “ garage, ” where any tracking device would be removed The vehicle would then be shipped to Asia, where it would sell for three times the price it was bought for in Richmond

A few months later, the reporter would make an ICBC claim, reporting his vehicle stolen

“By then, they’d never find it It would be sold in China,” Fred said (in translation )

With no proof that the vehicle wasn’t stolen, ICBC would be required to pay the remainder of the financing And with “ new car insurance, ” the payout would not be subject to depreciation

When asked if the process was legal, the reporter was told “it’s a legal grey area ” Meanwhile, the reporter would be paid

$5,000-$10,000, depending on his credit score and the model of car he was able to purchase Aside from the well-known luxury brands, heavy duty vehicles, such as the Dodge Ram series, are in high demand in Asia, explained Fred

The Richmond News reached out to ICBC for comment on the scam but was told it’s a criminal matter and inquiries should be made to the police

The Richmond RCMP, however, said they were unable to provide any information at this time

Macgyver Tse, account manager at King’s Auto Lease Richmond, said he hadn’t heard of this particular scam but was aware of similar ones, as people have been trying to work around export car regulations for years

“Car export can be a quick cash grab,” Tse said, “Like, one of the most popular

Mercedes Benz models, G63, once you get your hands on one, it’s a guaranteed $50,000 or more in profit if you export And that is through legitimate means ”

Tse said most dealerships have agreements with the manufacturer to prevent buyers from buying vehicles and immediately exporting them

In fact, when a customer who’s leasing a vehicle refuses to sign a no-export agreement, the dealership can install a tracker on the car and keep one of the car keys (the new car owner is provided with two) for over a year to ensure the car isn’t exported, he explained

Dealerships are responsible for retaining their inventories for the community to maintain trust between customers and manufacturers, Tse added

Regardless, the illegal car export business has grown significantly in recent years, while the local car market has been at an all time low

Meanwhile, the “totally legit,” “quick buck” ads continue to run on social media platforms

Rocks stolen from dog memorial garden

A commemorative garden at the corner of Steveston’s South Dyke Trail and No 2 Road was recently robbed of many beautifully painted and polished stones that were placed there in memory of pets that have passed on.

The garden, dubbed the “Dog Gone” rock garden, had more than 90 painted rocks in memory of pets as well as some that were painted as a tribute to frontline workers for their work since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Richmond resident Doug Mitchell, who had set up the garden with his wife in August 2020, said it was heartbreaking to see the gaps in the rock collection on Saturday morning.

“The rocks that were taken were fairly artistic. Some have just dog names written on them,” said Mitchell, adding that about 32 rocks were missing.

“It looks almost like it was a trophy thing because they’ve got the main rock that says ‘Dog Gone Rock Park’ so they’ve

taken the best of that too.”

Mitchell told the Richmond News he suspects the rocks were stolen on Friday night as he walks by the garden twice a day

“You can’t just put those (32) rocks in your pocket discreetly and walk away You’ve got to bring somebody or something along to carry them all,” he said Among the missing rocks were also a couple of painted stones brought in by out-of-town visitors including a woman from Austin, Texas and another individual from northern Alberta.

While the rocks don’t have financial value to them, Mitchell added, they represent the love of dog owners and the community

Community members are encouraged to advise the individual, or people, who stole the stones to return them discreetly

“It means a lot to us and to the community at large.”

Mitchell is offering a reward for the return of the Dog Gone memorial rocks where him and his wife will donate $100 to feed street dogs and another $100 to the children’s food bank.

With over 60 family-friendly and free or low-cost activities there are lots of ways to celebrate, create memories and connections this Family Day Weekend!

Get active, jump, swim, explore, or be creative together.

Scan here to see all of the fun activities and events:

One Richmond city councillor has taken a “principled” stance against safeinjection sites while another councillor is equally adamant one belongs in every community in B.C., including in Richmond.

In the meantime, drug users who want to be supervised while consuming drugs in the event of an overdose or drug poisoning need to travel to downtown Vancouver to access a safe-injection site.

Coun Kash Heed questions who would travel that distance to inject drugs safely

With dial-a-dope operations delivering anywhere to someone’s house, to their school or to meet them in their car drugs can be anywhere, and that’s where people will use them.

“Let’s be realistic, people aren’t going to drive miles to inject (drugs),” Heed said.

Resistance to safe-injection sites is “buried in ideology,” Heed said, and the arguments from what he calls “NIMBYs” are the same arguments made against low-barrier housing and even housing cooperatives.

“Yet, (drug use) in your backyard,” Heed said. “Their place is Richmond and they’re going to die in Richmond.”

Statistics from BC Emergency Services show paramedics repond to overdoses and drug poisonings almost every day in Richmond there were 356 such calls in 2022. (Paramedics responded to about 33,000 overdose and drug poisoning calls across B.C. in 2022). Twenty-eight people died in Richmond in 2022 of toxic drugs, the majority indoors.

But Coun Chak Au argues safe-injection sites “don’t work,” saying the “hard fact” is that, since safe-injection sites were established about 20 years ago, deaths from overdoses and drug poisonings have just gone up.

“I understand the logic, but this is not the solution,” Au told the Richmond News “The harm reduction approach alone is not going to prevent deaths,” he added, saying his political slate, Richmond Community Coalition (RCC), advocates for a “comprehensive approach” to dealing with addiction.

During the fall election, RCC, released a statement saying their candidates stood in “principled” opposition to safe-injection sites.

Au thinks there’s too much focus on harm reduction and not enough on the other harm reduction “pillars,” namely, prevention, treatment and enforcement

This sentiment is echoed by a BC Liberal MLA, who is walking back a statement she made to Chinese-language media whereby she said she opposed safe-injection sites.

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat told Phoenix TV last week, in Chinese, “we’re opposed to so-called safe-injection sites.”

But when asked by reporters this week, she said she “used the wrong choice of words and misrepresented our position.” She added she had wanted to tell Chinese media “all drugs are harmful” and that’s why services and support are needed.

Furthermore, harm reduction, including safe-injection sites, is just one part of the “four pillars” of tackling addiction, she said, adding she thinks there should be more focus on recovery and treatment

Heed, however, said, it’s “incredible” people use the excuse of needing more comprehensive services for people addicted to drugs to argue against a safeinjection site and harm reduction.

“Unless we can get to these people who are injecting and dying… you won’t get these people into treatment,” Heed said. Anti-drug message needed: Au

But Au believes the focus should be more on anti-drug campaigns, like the DARE program in schools, noting historically there have been campaigns against drunk driving.

He also doesn’t understand why the conversation has turned to “recreational drug use,” he told the News

“There is nothing recreational about using drugs,” Au said, unlike alcohol which in controlled amounts doesn’t cause harm, he added.

“A doctor wouldn’t say there’s a safe dosage of drugs – even cannabis,” Au said.

Among the Chinese population of Richmond, there is a strong aversion to drugs, Au said.

“They basically reject the use of drugs,” Au said. “Chinese parents tell their kids to stay away from drugs.”

He added probably most parents say the same thing to their kids.

Signs that a home exterior needs updating RENOVATE

Renovations are a great way for homeowners to reshape their homes. Some may aspire to renovate so their home is more reflective of their personal taste, while others may do so in an effort to make their homes better align with modern styles and sensibilities

Regardless of why a homeowner chooses to renovate, the need to do so is often evident to the naked eye, especially when the time comes to update home exteriors

Curb appeal is often discussed in regard to the effects it can have when selling a home But curb appeal is equally important for homeowners who aren’t putting their homes on the market

A well-maintained, aesthetically appealing home is a source of pride, while a home with fading curb appeal can make homeowners feel a little sheepish Homeowners who want their homes to maintain their curb appeal can look for signs that it’s time to update their home exteriors

Curling shingles: The roof may not be the first thing people think of when pondering curb appeal, but a damaged roof can contribute to problems that ultimately affect the exterior and interior of the home

Multiple curling shingles indicate it’s time to replace the roof

The sight of curling shingles is not pretty, but the larger issue in such instances is the potential for costly water damage when water gets in through the affected shingles

Dated entry door: Many home improvement experts insist they can determine when a home was built or most recently renovated simply by looking at the front door

Steel and glass doors are popular in modern homes, so homeowners with front doors with ornate designs and oval glass inserts can likely benefit from an upgrade to their entryway

A modern front door can make a statement and real estate experts note how

popular updated front doors are among buyers

Unsightly landscaping: It’s not only the physical components of the home that may suggest an update is necessary

Homeowners without a green thumb may have exterior landscaping that has

seen better days

If a spring or summer day spent tending to your landscaping is not your ideal weekend pastime, then consider replacing unsightly landscaping with low-maintenance plants or hardscaping

These alternatives to more needy plants can create curb appeal without requiring any extra work for homeowners

Cracked driveways/walkways:

If the driveway looks like a busy road at the end of snow plowing season, chances are that’s adversely affecting the impression people have of your home

In addition, cracked walkways indicate a need for renovations, as these areas are front and center when welcoming guests

Updating a home’s exterior can restore curb appeal and help homeowners feel better about their properties

Bros get nod for national award

A Richmond-based construction company has been named a finalist for a national renovation award

Bali Brothers Construction was named by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) as one of five finalists for the “best whole home renovation under $200,000” category in the 2023 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence

Nearly 800 projects were submitted to the national competition, according to the CHBA website

Rohit Bali, co-owner of Bali Brothers Construction, said he and his brother were “beyond grateful” when they found out their project submission was nominated as a finalist

“To be presenting our project among other reputable companies, where

there is this whole range of values, quality work and excellence in home building and renovations, we were very honoured to receive the nomination,” said Bali

Their project submission was a complete home renovation, interior and exterior, for a family of four, explained Bali

Bali told the Richmond News that he and his brother Akaash were initially in the accounting industry

After graduating from McNair secondary, the brothers proceeded to UBC to study accounting and Rohit would work on construction-related jobs to pay for schooling

“It kind of sparked my interest to learn about the different parts of construction, the different trades and how everything’s put together,” said Rohit

“For the longest time, I’ve had a passion for construction ”

Rohit said he would work with con-

struction and real estate clients while he worked in accounting

He described the jump in industries as “uncomfortable” because there was “ no turning back, no Plan B” once they made the switch, but he doesn’t regret it at all

“It’s something we truly enjoy and we

Brothers leave accounting firm to form their own Richmond construction company, Bali Brothers Construction, which has recently been nominated by the Canadian Home Builders ’ Association (CHBA) for a national award Photo submitted

love seeing each project being completed,” said Rohit

The Bali brothers officially established the company in 2018

Winners and awards for the CHBA Housing Excellence Awards will be presented on Feb 16 in Banff, AB

PINK SHIRT DAY

Kindness taught all year round

A Richmond elementary principal hopes for a deeper understanding of kindness and inclusion that goes beyond Pink Shirt Day

Naomi Hazon, principal of Tamley elementary, said Pink Shirt Day is an important international event to push back against bullying and to highlight the strength of kindness but it shouldn’t stop at just the one day

Pink Shirt Day takes place in February this year on Feb. 22 but the school has year-round activities to focus on inclusion.

“We’ve had almost (one) event a month that focuses on building community and connectedness and fostering inclusion and strengthening our kids’ sense of identity to be proud of who they

are,” said Hazon.

As part of this year’s pink-shirt activities, Hazon and the rest of the school staff are holding a series of activities for students, including reading books rooted in kindness and Indigenous perspectives.

But, to visually illustrate the meaning of the annual anti-bullying initiative, they are creating large pink shirts using words to express kindness.

Students will talk and reflect on the stories they read and integrate some of the text into their shirt designs, which will then be displayed around the school.

While Hazon only joined Tamley elementary last summer, she said it’s part of her agenda to consistently teach kids “values, kindness and creating an inclusive community.”

“A lot of our students are keen to participate and have a good understanding of what it means

More than pink shirts

Pink Shirt Day is a worldwide event to raise awareness about bullying prevention and promoting anti-discrimination Pink Shirt Day started in 2007 at Berwick, N S , when two high school students, David Shepherd and Travis Prince, heard about a fellow student being harassed for wearing a pink shirt The two gathered more than 50 pink shirts and encouraged other students to wear them to stand against homophobic bullying The second Thursday of September was declared as “Stand Up Against Bullying Day ” In 2008, Gordon Campbell, then-premier of B C , proclaimed Feb 27 as the anti-bullying day

Meanwhile, Pink Shirt Day isn’t the only example of an issue being marked by wearing a particular coloured shirt

Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led day dedicated to families who were impacted by the residential school system Orange Shirt Day takes place on Sept 30 marking the

National Day For Truth and Reconciliation Orange symbolizes the denial of culture experienced by Indigenous people

Yellow Shirt Day

World Suicide Prevention Day is comemmorated worldwide in September, when people wear yellow to signify suicide prevention awareness. The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Program was founded in 1994, devoted to reducing the stigma around suicide

Green Shirt Day

On April 7, many Canadians wear green to raise awareness of organ donation and register donors across Canada Green Shirt Day originated in April 2018 when the 16 Humboldt Broncos hockey players died in a car crash

White Shirt Day

White Shirt Day commemorates industrial workers who fought for better working conditions and unionization. Many people wear white shirts on Feb 11 to support industrial workers

to be kind and be a good friend,” she said.

“But I do think that there’s still work to do in terms of going deeper with the bigger themes around really being inclusive.”

Hazon told the Richmond News dialogue is an important factor when it comes to learning and expressing issues

“Everybody kind of brings their own… perspective when they share their thoughts out loud,” she said.

As for older students in leadership positions, they are given opportunities to approach pinkshirt day with a more “critical lens.”

“I certainly do think that (Pink Shirt Day) also opens the door for feeling more comfortable talking about challenging situations, how to overcome them how to work through them and move forward,” Hazon said.

Kids lead

Artwork centred around kindness, messages on school walls, community events these are the signs school board chair Debbie Tablotney sees in the Richmond School District as an indication anti-bullying messages are getting through to students

The pink shirt movement is growing every year, she told the News, unlike some other initiatives like We Day, at one time highly popular

“Schools do a really good job of creating that network of kindness and sense of community,” she said in anticipation of Pink Shirt Day, which is on Feb 22 this year

Each school, however, seems to have “its own culture” around how they commemorate Pink Shirt Day

And, since its inception more than a decade ago, it seems students are now leading the way as far as

combatting bullying and promoting kindness and caring

“I think the culture of kindness is going to come from kids they’re going to teach us, ” Tablotney said

As a victim of bullying in school herself, Tablotney is impressed at how the issue is tackled now in school and is a regular topic of conversation, unlike during her school days

The school district recently did audits on diversity and equity to assess student and staff perceptions on racism and equity

It showed that in these areas there are still gaps and “hard work” to do, Tablotney explained

For the board of education, this means revamping policies those “overarching statements of what you believe” using a “diversity and equity lens ”

PINK SHIRT DAY

Cyber-bullying increasing

A Richmond teacher thinks the conversation about anti-bullying in schools should start with empathy

Michael Taylor, who has been teaching in the Richmond school district for the past 11 years, said the goal is to get students to “really comprehend the impact even just one comment or choice can have on someone ’ s self-esteem, beliefs, and actions.”

One effective way of doing so, even though it is difficult, is sharing real stories of local youth, such as Amanda Todd’s tragic loss which shows how words can have “truly devastating consequences ” and that “more could have been done by our community.”

Taylor credits the advocacy of Todd’s mother and other educators, as well as anti-bullying initiatives such as Pink Shirt Day, for the “significant reductions of reported in-person bullying in schools,” but said cyberbullying remains a pervasive

issue.

“(Cyberbullying) is something that unfortunately educators are often blind to, as it often goes unreported,” he said. The key to tackling this blind spot is to talk to students.

“In fact, my understanding and experience with online bullying come primarily from honest and open conversations with students about their personal experiences, ” Taylor explained.

He also emphasizes the importance of encouraging active reflection on the cause of bullying and how students can be the solution such as by taking on the role of an “active bystander” who intervenes and does not tolerate bullying.

Taylor, who has taught at both elementary and secondary levels, said the method of delivery may vary to keep the subject relevant to each age group.

“In elementary school, students are taught the golden rule; to treat others the way you would want to be treated, and empathy education is a primary focus,” he said

Pink shows expectations

21 Meanwhile, the conversation with high school students will put more weight on cyberbullying since they have a greater online presence.

However, the key concepts of social responsibility and social-emotional learning remain the same.

The school district’s approach has also evolved beyond classrooms to promote acceptance and appreciation of diversity and elevate expectations of how youth should treat each other, said Taylor, which is critical for addressing the root of bullying

Although the school district’s approach to tackling anti-bullying may have evolved over the years, the subject has remained at the forefront of its priorities.

“Each subsequent grade and generation needs reminding of the collective standards and values we hold up in our community about how we treat each other,” said Taylor.

Regarding the concern that, for some Pink Shirt day has become more of a fashion statement, Taylor said that’s not what he’s seen.

Rather, Pink Shirt Day has become an “entry point” for meaningful conversation and lessons “that underscore the antibullying message along with the critical concepts or values of open-mindedness, inclusion, diversity, and respect,” Taylor explained.

“From my experience, Pink Shirt Day has been an incredibly effective and meaningful anti-bullying campaign,” he added.. “The symbolizing that naturally comes from students and staff consciously and collectively wearing one colour is a powerful one.

“The vast majority of students understand that by wearing pink, they are expressing solidarity with a cause that our society and schools now universally recognize as almost a fundamental human right.”

Furthermore, wearing pink sends a message to youth that “this is our norm, this is our expectation, and this is our commitment.”

“I believe that this is the lasting message that rings true for students and is imparted on Pink Shirt Day.”

Steveston girl, 14, hits New York fashion stage

“It felt just like any other show…it was just another runway ”

Suffice to say, Steveston 14-year-old Amaya Alicia Cruz wasn’t fazed in the slightest when she was hurriedly preparing backstage to hit the runway at New York Fashion Week last weekend

Even though she’s only been modelling for less than a year, Alicia took to the Big Apple stage like a duck to water while showing off designs for the likes of Vancouver-based Kayzie Couture

She did, however, get a bit of a shock when she took her first stride onto the NY runway at Gotham Hall, where she, quite literally, bounced onto the stage

“I wasn’t nervous or anything I’m not trying to be cocky, but I’ve walked a lot of runways in the last year and it just felt like any other show, although it was obviously on a bigger stage,”

Grade 9 student Amaya told the Richmond News

“But when I stepped out, (the runway) was really squishy and I totally wasn’t expecting that I was like ‘oh my God ’ But I recovered I’ve never experienced that before in all the shows I’ve done ”

A little more than a year ago – and what seems like a world away from last weekend’s “dream” in New YorkAmaya, then 13, was in the depths of depression, holed up in her house like so many of her peers during the pandemic

Since then, she has had a quite stunning transformation and meteoric rise from the end of 2021, when she had absolutely zero modelling experience and had just surfaced from a severe, clinical depression diagnosis.

The former McMath student now attends Richmond’s Station Stretch Alternative Program, having moved there a few months ago from McMath due to her anxiety and aforementioned depression

Her mom, Pam Abarca, is understandably bursting with pride for her daughter, who wowed audiences and designers alike at no less than 14 runways last year, including Bridal Fashion Week, Vancouver Kids Fashion Week and the Rose and Thorn Fashion Show

“It’s quite incredible It’s like a dream right now, ” Abarca told the Richmond News from her hotel room in New York City last weekend

“She was so calm and cool about it. But that’s who she is She’s just amazing She’s so down to earth and very

health, Amaya has taken it upon herself to help others and will be returning to Richmond’s Touchstone program in the spring to serve as a mental health advocate for peers going through what she did, and still does

“We’re not all perfect, far from it, and that’s OK,” added Amaya

“I have my own things to deal with and lots of people out there also have stuff to deal with

“I want people to know it’s good to reach out and it’s OK not to be OK, if that makes sense? I want people to feel safe talking to other people about what’s going on ”

Abarca, who filters Amaya’s social media pages for her, said her daughter sat down with her recently to talk about what she wanted those pages to look like

“She said she doesn’t need to look perfect all the time and wants to talk about mental health on there,” explained Abarca

“She wants people to touch base and reach out to her if they need to ”

Indeed, Abarca said many people have reached out to them since the News’ story online last Friday, telling how Amaya has been “inspiring” to them

Why are 4 sweaty guys taking over a living room? Charity collecting for Turkey earthquake relief

He’s commandeering his living room for two full days and nights to accommodate at least four sweaty guys

But that’s OK, claims Richmond’s Martin Hauck, as it’s all for a “higher cause, ” namely raising thousands of dollars for the BC Cancer Foundation for the third year in a row.

To be clear, the reason for the “sleepover” is to give Huack and his three fellow runners a comfortable place to rest, recover and rejuvenate their bodies during the grueling 4x4x48 Challenge running four miles on the four-hour mark for 48 hours

Beginning Friday, March 3 at 8 p m , Huack, along with Jeff Kirkeby, Mike Benedetto and Chris Segers, will once again pound the West Dyke Trail, Garry Point Park and west Richmond to raise money and awareness for the cancer charity

It’s never easy, admits Huack but that’s just the way he and his friends like it Well, sort of

We

“We’re going to transform my house into a little staging area for four guys No backyard this time,” Huack told the Richmond News of his plans for the two days

“We want to suffer, but we want to keep it manageable I’m going to pull all the mattresses out of the tent trailer and lay them all out on the floor.

“It’s not going to be easy, but that’s OK life is full of suck, (in our preparation) we ’ re just trying to do one thing that sucks each day in the runup to it...so to try to control (the pain) a bit more

“It always hurts But it pales into comparison to what people are going through with chemo, for example.”

Lots of water during the rest periods is a given, said Huack, but also protein and fatheavy foods, small meals and a massage gun.

“There will be lots of movies and enjoying ourselves,” he added

To donate to their cause, go to

BC Hydro George Massey Tunnel Transmission Relocation Project

The Province is proposing to replace the existing four-lane George Massey Tunnel with a new, eight-lane immersed tube tunnel, and will decommission the existing tunnel once the new tunnel is in operation

A section of one of our power lines crosses the Fraser River through the existing George Massey Tunnel, so we need to relocate it before the tunnel is decommissioned We’re studying three alternatives that include both overhead and underground lines for this project.

Please share your feedback on these alternatives by participating in our online survey. Visit bchydro.com/gmt to participate in the consultation between now and February 25, 2023.
