City’s history gets a boost from surprise donation MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

It was by chance that Jackie Brown found a sticky note written by her late mother with some final requests for her inheritance.

While a will had been written by Dody Wray, a long-time member of the Friends of the Richmond Archives, her daughter found a final wish — on a Post-It note in her buffet cabinet — that hadn’t been incorporated into the legal documents. $25,000 was to go to the Regional Animal Protection Society, and $25,000 was for the City of Richmond Archives.

Brown said there was no question about following her mother’s final wishes, whether it was stamped by a lawyer or not.

And thanks to the donation to the archives, 26 bankers boxes of video tapes of Richmond political and social events will be inventoried, more city records will get digitized, planning slides from the 1980s and 1990s will get archival descriptions, and a new photographic history about education in Richmond has been created.

“Mom was very, very interested in the history of Richmond, coming from both the Blair family and, on her maternal side, the Thomas Kidd family – so she was always very interested in learning and seeing the history of Richmond maintained,” Brown explained.

Using the donation from Dody Wray and enhancing it with a federal grant, the city archives was able to hire an intern — Lily Liu who is currently doing a master’s in library

Jackie Brown’s (centre) mother Dody Wray donated $25,000 to the City of Richmond Archives, allowing them to do four projects. Maria Rantanen photo and archival studies at UBC — to do this work.

Starting early in September, she began her time at the archives with the history of education in Richmond. This is currently on display at the cultural centre along with artifacts from the museum about education.

Liu said starting with the photo history about education was a good way to look into Richmond’s history.

This includes information about a Japanese school on Sea Island which closed when the Japanese Canadians were interned during the Second World War. Reading about the history of segregation of Japanese Canadians was “hard to go through” for Liu. “You’re holding a record, you’re looking at the oral histories and the sombre quality, the solemn, sombre quality of the history of Rich-

mond’s education — it just hits you in that moment,” Liu said.

With the education project behind her, Liu will now be focusing on three other projects.

Some of the 100,000 city records she’ll be tackling include zoning bylaws, annual reports, Official Community Plans.

Liu will be able to continue this work, making sure the digitized copies have standard descriptors using the correct key words and subject terms so that they are easily retrievable for researchers.

“There are so many random miscellaneous (records),” Liu said.

The process of describing records is “very abstract” in school, Liu said, so she’s pleased she can work with actual records and learn the practicial work of an archivist within the setting of the city archives.

“Records are very messy and they don’t always fit neatly into a description and definitions,” Liu said. “You have to go into the ‘wild’ – into the physical archives – and bump around the corners.”

Liu will also be working on a collection of planning and development slides from the 1980s and 1990s that feature buildings, subdivisions, farming activities and industry.

The last project is to create a detailed inventory of 26 banker boxes of videotapes from Rogers Community 4, a community television channel, which includes recordings of council meetings, special forums about development and other community issues, teen programming and local television coverage.

Make taxes worth it

Housing needed more than lawn bowling Dear Editor, In the March 16 issue of the Richmond News, we were told that renovations to the Richmond Lawn Bowling Club would proceed, at a cost of $5.3 million.

That was just a few months ago, but now we are in a world where rents have gone through the roof.

According to rentals.ca, the average monthly rent for a three-bedroom apartment is $4,140.

Rents are taking up a huge share of a family’s income. Lawn bowling is a wonderful sport that allows people to exercise outdoors in the fresh air.

But if it rains or snows or is too hot, not many people show up.

The city is spending millions of dollars for a place that is used a few months of the year.

We already have wonderful community centres with gyms and exercise classes.

Going ahead with this costly renovation is a slap in the face to families who are struggling to make ends meet.

The money could be put to better use to house homeless people.

Are bowling balls more important than the men, women and children who need affordable homes?

Keep dogs on leash, please Dear Editor, Why do some owners have dogs if they don’t leash them?

Do the owners think they are exempt from leashing their dogs?

I don’t know the answer to those two questions.

I do know how traumatic it has been for my leashed dog and me when an unleashed dog dominates her, charges her and attacks her.

There is no accountability to this stressful

unnecessary harm.

If people are going to have a dog, it needs to be leashed, especially around other dogs.

The City of Richmond has many off-leash dog parks to play in.

I hope my dog and I will be left alone from owners who continue to walk their dog unleashed.

The law is there for a reason to keep the peace.

Dear Editor, This is an open letter to the current Richmond administration of the increase in theft, property break-ins and recent tent encampment.

Our strata was a victim of theft and vehicle break-ins even in a secured area. Five cars were victimized and prior to that motorcycles were stolen. I wonder if something is done with the increase of homeless persons in our city.

In fact, this week a tent encampment can be seen in a park in front of the municipal building along Granville and No. 3 Road.

I strongly urge the Richmond administration to address this issue before someone gets hurt.

Make our taxes worth paying for.

RCMP stand by safety video, despite backlash

VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

Richmond RCMP is beyond astonished at the public’s reaction to a video regarding road safety awareness that was posted two weeks ago..

As of last Tuesday morning, the video reached about 5.7 million views and was ranked 18 on the global trending list of social media platform X. Richmond RCMP spokesperson Dennis Hwang said he was “shocked” at the influx of comments and reactions from people about the road safety and awareness video that was made for social media.

“What I’m quite shocked (about) is most of the negative comments are not even local, not even based here…they’re mostly from the United States, which I’m not even sure they know where we are located,” said Hwang.

“Fall season is particularly bad for pedestrian safety, and pedestrian awareness and we have the most incidents of pedestrians get-

ting struck in the fall months and that’s why we usually send out some safety tips.”

The video was created by a high school videographer and actors who volunteered their time to help get the safety message out to the public, explained Hwang.

Hwang told the Richmond News the video was not funded by anyone despite a comment to the contrary on social media.

“We received no funding…it was done in-house. Done with volunteers,” he said.

While hundreds of people have criticized the video, other News readers have praised it.

In an email to the News, reader Janet Oakes said the video posted by the Richmond RCMP was “bang on correct and very well done.”

Oakes said she frequently sees pedestrians not using crosswalks in the city and also even sees both “drivers and pedestrians on their phones, oblivious to their surroundings.”

A road safety and awareness video by Richmond RCMP has gone viral. Richmond RCMP video screenshot “Thanks, Richmond RCMP, for the focus on safety for all.”

While Hwang recognizes people may have their own interpretations of the video, the overall message is for everyone to stay safe and make it home every day.

“You have to think about the overall message. Everybody’s got to act safely and do things to safeguard themselves. That is the point of the video,” he said.

“We are not blaming anyone in the video… from the many many investigations we’ve done. The sole purpose is to let everybody be a bit safer. At the end of the day, we want everyone to go home.

“Our video stands and we stand by it. Many of the commenters do not even know where Richmond, B.C. is let alone what our traffic conditions are like. “

Cooking pot starts fire: RFR Residents of a Richmond apartment building were briefly evacuated due to a cooking accident on Friday night.

The Richmond News spotted two fire trucks parked outside a residential building near No. 3 and Ackroyd roads at around 9 p.m. on Oct. 20.

No smoke was visible and residents of the building were seen standing outside along No. 3 Road.

Richmond Fire-Rescue Fire Chief Jim Wishlove confirmed crews were dispatched to a report of a fire on a 12thfloor suite around 8:30 p.m.

“Our crews went up to the suite and the suite was locked. So they had to force their way into the suite,” Wishlove said.

“And then they found a pot unattended on the stove burning.”

Crews put out the fire and ventilated the suite, and residents were allowed back into the building within an hour.

No injuries were reported.

Cooking safety was the focus of this year’s Fire Prevention Week, which took place last week, said Wishlove.

Premature child sues doctor for alleged medical malpractice VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

A trial for alleged medical malpractice at Richmond Hospital kicked off last week after a mother and her young child filed a lawsuit against a doctor.

In the suit filed in 2016 and updated in 2019, Li Qu claimed her son — who was born at 25 weeks and is now age 9 — is suffering “significant medical problems” from his premature birth.

Qu argued that Dr. Loida Rebeca Rivera, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Richmond Hospital, was negligent when tending to Qu’s pregnancy.

Qu filed her son’s claim on his behalf.

According to the lawsuit, which was later amended in 2019, Qu’s pregnancy was confirmed in September 2014 and her son was determined to be around 12 weeks old at the time.

Qu claimed no abnormalities were detected when she got ultrasounds in the next two months.

Her son had a gestational age of around 25 weeks when Qu went to Richmond Hospital in late November 2014.

However, said Qu, the doctor “erroneously assessed” Qu’s gestation period at 23 weeks

and five days, and “incorrectly calculated her expected due date at March 24 2014.”

Qu was discharged the same day but woke up with “cramping and blood clots” later that night. She returned to the hospital and her son was ultimately born the next day.

She argued that, if she had been assessed with a gestational age of 24 weeks or above when she went to the hospital in November, she “would have received (a) full Betamethasone course, resulting in an elimination or a

significant reduction in (her son’s) medical problems.”

They added that Rivera’s negligence included failing to adequately examine Qu and her son or at all, failing to respond in a timely manner to signs and symptoms of premature birth and failing to request or obtain a physician to attend after Qu complained of pain and bleeding.

Medical complications allegedly suffered by her son include injuries to the heart, small

intestine, eyes and brain, significant physical developmental delay and prematurity-related complications.

Her son also allegedly suffers from neurodevelopmental handicap and resulting complications as well as psychological injuries including depression and anxiety.

Doctor denies liability Qu’s son is seeking compensation including general damages, damages for loss of future earning capacity and future wage loss and costs of future care.

Meanwhile, Qu asks compensation for costs including medical expenses, past and future wage loss, post and future care expenses and costs for the lawsuit.

Rivera responded to the lawsuit in 2019 and denied liability.

She argued that the care she provided to Qu was “reasonable and consistent with the standard expected” and “no act or omission” on her part caused or contributed to any injury, damage or loss for Qu and her son.

The trial began last week at the B.C. Supreme Court and is scheduled to last for 15 days.

Richmond Hospital and other doctors were originally named as defendants in the lawsuit as well but the lawsuit against them was dismissed by a judge on the first day of trial.

The median price of a single-family home in Richmond dropped by more than $200,000 since last September, according to the latest numbers from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

The median price for a single-family home this September was $1.875 million compared to $2,085,400 in September 2022.

Condo prices climbed slightly, with the median price going up from $635,000 last September to $644,000 this September.

Man arrested on Canada Line train Company sues

VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

A man was arrested after allegedly “waving a knife around” aboard the Canada Line during the Thursday evening rush hour.

A viral TikTok video posted on Oct. 19 by user whatishnindoing shows at least three police officers surrounding a man lying face down on the ground.

One officer can be seen approaching the man holding a

taser and then restraining him by twisting his arm and kneeling on it.

Another officer standing by the train door held an Arwen gun, which fires rubber bullets instead of traditional rounds and is considered a less lethal force option by Transit Police.

The man was handcuffed and escorted off the train.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police spokesperson Const. Amanda

Steed confirmed police received reports of the man just before 6 p.m. on Oct. 19.

“Officers intercepted the train at Bridgeport Station and located the man where he was arrested without incident,” she said.

Steed added there were no reports of injuries, and police do not believe at this time that direct threats were made to other passengers.

VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

An investment company that allegedly bought a $24M worth of office space near Richmond Centre is suing the developer for backing out of the sale.

Yi Teng Investment Inc. filed a lawsuit against Keltic (Brighouse) Development Ltd. in the B.C. Supreme Court in 2018.

Keltic’s appeal against Yi Teng’s 2022 amendment to the lawsuit was thrown out last week by the court.

According to the amended lawsuit, Yi Teng signed a contract with Keltic, then known as YYH Development, in May 2016 for a presale of a custom-designed office and retail space in a new development next to Brighouse station.

The office space was to be 40,000 square feet in total with north and south sides, each with two floors.

Yi Teng said the contract was negotiated and written in Chinese and Jiansheng Chen — owner of one of the businesses that incorporated Keltic and Keltic’s then-general manager and executive director — had his son and daughter-in-law prepare an English version of the contract.

Neither of them had legal training or were certified translators and no lawyer was involved.

According to Yi Teng, Chen resigned from Keltic after a shareholders’ dispute in 2017 and allegedly gave both the Chinese and English versions of the contract with Yi Teng to a Keltic director.

The Keltic director later claimed Keltic had “no knowledge of the contract.”

Keltic then told Yi Teng in

2018 that it “no longer considered itself bound by the contract and did not intend to proceed with the sale,” according to Yi Teng.

Damages not an adequate remedy: Investment company Yi Teng argued that Keltic failed to act in good faith and complete the sale.

It added that damages would not be “an adequate remedy” for Keltic’s breach of contract because the market price for commercial property in Richmond has “increased substantially,” and the Keltic property was the “last remaining commercial development property in the area.”

According to Yi Teng, there is nothing of the same scale on the market. Yi Teng asked that the court order Keltic to either perform the contract to the best of its abilities or compensate it with damages.

Keltic, on the other hand, denied considering or approving anything related to Yi Teng’s alleged agreement and said the alleged agreement was never disclosed to Keltic’s board of directors. It also denied having a copy of the agreement.

Keltic said the terms of the alleged agreement were “ambiguous, internally inconsistent and commercially unreasonable,” and Yi Teng knew or should have known Chen did not have the authority to negotiate and enter into the agreement with Yi Teng.

It also denied Yi Teng had paid a $50,000 deposit for the purchase, arguing instead that Yi Teng had made a payment for a purpose that was “never disclosed” to Keltic.

No trial date is set yet and none of the allegations have been proven in court.

Churches fill in food gap, serving homeless nightly MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

Every week, seven to eight volunteers cook a hearty meal for 70 to 75 people living on Richmond’s streets.

Church on Five volunteers pack them and up and they’re delivered by an outreach worker to the street-entrenched homeless, living in tents and bushes through Richmond.

“This is what it means to be a person of faith,” said Church on Five pastor Rachel Wilson.

In 2015, when Church on Five started making the meals, about 25 were delivered to the unhoused. But with the increase in those without stable homes in Richmond, this has grown in number.

Not only does Church on Five make meals once a week, three other churches in Richmond and one restaurant makes sure Richmond’s homeless population gets good meals every day.

This includes St. Albans, Gilmore Park United, St. Joseph the Worker and Richmond Presbyterian as well as Riverside Catering.

Together, along with the Kehila Society, they make up the Richmond Food Aid Coalition, delivering food, care packages and other essentials to homeless people, filling in a gap that has been left empty by government agencies.

The issue of increasing homelessness came to the forefront two weeks ago when the latest homeless count numbers were released.

Richmond had one of the highest percentage increases in homelessness in the Lower Mainland, with 162 people counted over two days in March.

Those who help to feed the homeless say there’s a desperate need for more after-hours outreach workers in Richmond.

Council tackles emergency At last week’s council meeting, Coun. Kash Heed put forward a motion asking staff to recommend a process to “immediately implement action plans to mitigate the homeless crisis.”

He makes a distinction between homelessness — which a 2019-2029 strategy tackles with items such as supportive housing and drop-in centre — and the homeless, people who are currently living without adequate shelter.

Richmond city council chambers were full to the brim Monday afternoon as council considered whether they should more aggressively tackle the homelessness issue in the city.

In the end, the vote was unanimous to ask city staff to come back in 45 days with a plan of action to deal with the immediate crisis.

De Whalen, president of the Richmond Pov-

Arden Pringle and Laurie Masing were making meals for unhoused people at Church on Five.

Maria Rantanen photo erty Reduction Coalition (RPRC) noted the 2019-2029 strategy has the goal of making homelessness in Richmond “rare, brief and non-recurring” by 2029.

“You have less than six years, and this motion… may be bold enough to achieve the goals that you’ve set for yourself,” she told

city council.

Coun. Laura Gillanders noted that without a detox facility and a continuum of care for stabilization and housing after treatment, the chronically homeless won’t get better. She added people can call a number, get a detox bed in Vancouver after a month, and then five days later they’re back on the street.

“I know from personal experience helping people there are huge gaps in the system that aren’t being addressed,” Gillanders said.

Other councillors commented on the motion saying there’s a need for an outreach worker and to have someone with “lived experience” on the city’s homelessness table.

Coun. Michael Wolfe noted the strategic plan calls for someone with lived experience to be at the table, “when appropriate.”

“I think it’s appropriate,” he added.

Currently, the homelessness table includes government agencies and service providers.

The general manager of planning and development, Joe Erceg, told city council, if they wanted to change the composition of this table, they could ask city staff to review it.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie asked that the request include consulting with the ministers of mental health/addictions, housing and poverty reduction.

Are there enough child care spaces in Richmond?

VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

Are you struggling to secure child care spots? Are you satisfied with your child care arrangement? These are some of the questions the City of Richmond is asking community members.

The city has launched a survey to help create a new 10-year child care strategy for Richmond.

Starting now, residents, parents and guardians and caregivers, as well as child care providers, are asked to share their thoughts and challenges for child care in Richmond in the online survey.

Child care providers will also be invited to participate in focus groups at a later date.

According to City of Richmond data, there were only enough child care spaces for one-third of the children in Richmond by the end of its most recent child care strategy.

The previous child care strategy ran from 2017 to 2022 and saw child care spaces increase by 44 per cent with 2,535 new spaces. City council also approved child care grants of up to $60,000 for capital items and professional development.

There are currently 13 city-owned child care facilities.

The city is now designing its fifth child care strategy since 1995, which will complement its existing 2021 to 2031 Richmond Child Care Action Plan. Input from the surveys will help inform the city of current and future child care needs over the next 10 years.

The surveys are open until 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 26, 2023 and can be accessed at LetsTalkRichmond.ca. For more information, contact the City of Richmond at childcare@richmond.ca.

Dumped items don’t help MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

Donate items only when we’re open! This was the message from the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston.

The thrift store gets “donations” left daily outside their Chatham Street facility, but often, by the time they’re found, they’re “ruined,” the thrift store recently explained on Facebook.

“This is dumping…” the post read.

Not only do the items get “ransacked, stolen, thrown on the ground,” they also get wet from dew or rain and subsequently unusable.

“That’s not what you intend when you set out to help us, so please donate items ONLY when we’re open. Many thanks,” reads the post.

Many charities that operate donation boxes also complain about the same thing as items are left around the bins, subject to natural elements.

The Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store raises money for medical equipment and for patient programs at Richmond Hospital, Minoru Residence and Lions Manor.

Items are left outside the hospital thrift store daily. Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store Facebook It’s located at 3731 Chatham St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Witches on paddleboards take over Steveston Wharf VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

The sounds of water in Steveston Village were replaced with the cackling of witches on Saturday afternoon.

Ten witches and a pirate on paddleboards entered the Fisherman’s Wharf area from under the Blue Canoe Restaurant while laughing, cackling and waving to the public.

While most of the witches were kneeling or standing, there was also a pirate doing

a handstand on his board and another who had a dog on theirs as well.

Richmond resident Karina Reid, who organized the event, said she wanted to bring some light and fun to Steveston.

“In a world that is so dark right now, I just wanted to bring a bit of joy to my own community,” said Reid.

“We also enjoyed watching other people’s expressions as we appeared on the wharf

and it was great to hear from people that we made their day.”

Reid told the Richmond News they started at Imperial Landing and made their way along the Steveston Harbour, into the wharf and as far as the Georgia Cannery during the two-hour paddleboard event.

“I’m still laughing thinking about it. It was just so much fun, I want to do it again with everyone.”

Witches and a pirate were spotted on paddleboards in Steveston over the weekend.

A Richmond-based charity is focusing on helping isolated seniors build connections and a safe network of friends.

The Senior Link Society, formed in 1999 to connect seniors to resources and events and give them a sense of community, is hoping to expand its impact and gain new members.

“Our main objective is focusing on isolated seniors,” said Becky Ardavin, the society’s founder. “There are so many … and this cheers them up and gives them the opportunity to make friends, to build a safe network of friends.”

For $25 a year, seniors can access reduced fees for the four events the charity hosts throughout the year, a newsletter, a resource guide and free access to short-term loans of medical equipment

Senior Link events aim to keep older people connected.

Photo contributed such as wheelchairs, walkers and canes.

The charity is affiliated with a company called Angels There For You that provides nurses, care aides, cleaners and companions for seniors.

They will waive initial fees for Senior Link members, Ardavin explained.

Besides new members, the charity also welcomes new volunteers.

Currently, the charity’s board is working on a memoir project, which is funded

Little Red Book creates buzz for businesses Richmond influencers boost local shops while reviewing food and services

DAISY XIONG dxiong@richmond-news.com

The owner of a “granny” hair salon in Richmond was surprised when a steady stream of younger customers started coming through her doors a few months ago.

Little did she know a Chinese social media app — with positive reviews about her shop — was directing them there.

Anna Liu is the owner of Hong Kong Washington Salon, which has served customers for 26 years on Ackroyd Road.

“They told me they came after seeing posts on Little Red Book,” Liu said about the influx of youthful customers.

Little Red Book, or RED, is a popular Chinese-language social media platform where people share and look for content on topics ranging from product recommendations to lifestyle tips and beauty advice.

Last September, someone made a Little Red Book post about her experience at Washington Salon and spoke highly of its affordable rates — the post went viral.

People visited the store after reading it and then shared more posts about their experience.

Little Red Book has 300 million users globally, 70 per cent of whom are 35 years or younger.

The app is increasingly impacting businesses in Richmond, a city known for its Chinese cuisine with nearly half of its population speaking Chinese as their mother tongue.

Lynn Shen spends an hour a day on Little Red Book looking at reviews.

“I eat out two to three times a week and almost every time before I go out, I check reviews and recommendations on the app… Google reviews don’t necessarily reflect the taste of Chinese Canadians like myself,” said Shen.

She also checks the app for recommendations for hairdressers, makeup tips, dance classes and shopping.

“To me, Little Red Book has the best algorithm... I can always find something useful and the content they push to me is relevant.”

Growing influencer community The app’s growth in Richmond has created a new community of Little Red Book influencers — people who go to shops and restaurants in the city and write reviews.

Yifei Yao, a painting teacher in Richmond, has an alter ego on Little Red Book as the food blogger “Yakuza Eater” and boasts more than 5,000 followers.

His online character is a Japanese gangster wearing a patterned shirt, leather shoes and a punch perm-like hairstyle, posing with a serious look in front of various food dishes.

“I like to try different restaurants and take photos with the food — and there are so many restaurants in Richmond to try out. At first, I shared it with friends and then started posting on Little Red Book,” said Yao. Some of his earlier Japanese gangster-style photos became popular so he decided to stick with this style.

Not knowing when he will post about food, he is prepared every time he goes out.

Yifei Yao, with his local food reviews, has become an influencer on Little Red Book in Richmond. Photo submitted “I wear Japanese gangster-style clothes everyday, including going to my class. Sometimes people on the street will give me a strange look. I also carry my selfie light with me everywhere,” said Yao. “The online character has become part of my identity in real life.”

Hannah Yuan is another Richmond-based influencer.

She has run her Little Red Book account “Little Island Cilantro” (translation) for three years and has more

than 30,000 followers.

Unlike Yao who specializes in food reviews, Yuan’s content includes product unboxing, shop visits, pet tip sharing, lifestyle sharing, event reviews and more.

“I’m a heavy user of RED myself and I like to share things with others. When I share and my content can provide useful information to others, I feel happy,” she said.

Both Yao and Yuan said they are often recognized by their followers

out and about in Richmond, and they have been able to capitalize on their influence by partnering with businesses. But the money they make is not enough to replace a full-time job.

“The volume of the Chinese Canadian market here is not comparable to the market in China,” said Yuan.

Crucial battlefield for businesses More companies in B.C. have opened accounts or launched campaigns on Little Red Book in recent years, according to Grace Zhang, content marketing director at Periphery Digital, a Vancouver-based multicultural marketing agency.

“Little Red Book is a crucial battlefield for businesses now, especially if they want to target customers from the Chinese Canadian community,” said Zhang.

Little Red Book looks similar to Instagram but has a stronger search function, she said, whereby people can search the topics they are interested in and relevant posts will show up.

People can read posts from anyone, not just those they follow, and the app pushes content people may be interested in. These features differentiate LIttle Red Book from another popular Chinese social media app, WeChat.

“Short-format, lifestyle and useful content is more popular on the app,” Zhang said. “So, if companies market on the platform, they need to tailor their messaging for this platform specifically.”

Richmond students create ‘cycle-logical’ art MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

Richmond students learned about food and nature during the recent BC Culture Days, culminating in an exhibit about life cycles, aptly named “Cycle-logical Wonders.”

The Richmond Arts Coalition partnered with the Richmond School District to put on workshops at the Sharing Farm in Terra Nova. The final exhibition on Oct. 14 showcased nature and culinary art.

Local artist Bea Martin worked with four groups of students from James Thompson elementary, including from its StrongStart early learning program.

Martin conducted in-school sessions that taught colour theory and the fundamentals of nature journaling, and then worked with the students at the farm on Oct. 13 to complete final exhibition pieces that displayed the life cycle of the apple.

Dumplings, drag superstar feature at arts fundraiser

VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

Community members are invited to enjoy a dazzling afternoon of performances by local drag superstar Kara Juku while indulging in delectable dumplings — all to support local arts.

Richmond Art Gallery Association (RAGA) is holding a unique “Dumplings & Divas” fundraiser and art auction on Nov. 18 at the art gallery.

Attendees will get to enjoy dumplings from Richmondbased Yummy Dumplings while watching an ethereal performance by Kara Juku, a non-binary drag artist who was the first of Asian descent to be crowned Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar in 2020.

Dumpling flavours will include cabbage and pork, chive and pork, and veggie dumplings with napa cabbage and Chinese mushroom.

Attendees will also get to participate in a silent auction for works in Richmond Art Gallery’s current International Mail Art exhibition, featuring postcard-sized artwork from 287 international artists.

Bea Martin and Nav Sidhu led workshops for students at the Sharing Garden.

Photo submitted “I love helping my students connect with nature through nature journaling, which consists of using words, pictures, and numbers to describe our observations in our sketchbooks,” said Martin. “I thrive on fostering their curiosity and find it fascinating to see them take their new tools and have their own

adventures outdoors by themselves, or with their friends and family.”

Added to this year’s program was a workshop led by culinary artist Nav Sidhu. Sidhu led Grade 9 and 10 students enrolled in Food Studies at Hugh Boyd secondary through the making of apple crumble tarts. The apple tarts were decorated with icing sugar to reflect phases of the moon.

Photos of the tarts were displayed alongside the artwork created by the Thompson Elementary students.

“Richmond has such a unique and thriving food scene, and there are many talented culinary artists that work in the city.

We’re delighted that Nav was able to share her skills and passion for creating and presenting food with her students,” said arts coalition director Sarah Glen.

Richmondites of all ages enjoyed a fun day out in Terra Nova watching migratory birds pass through the Pacific Flyway on Saturday.

Guided bird walks along the West Dyke Trail and crafts for children were some of the activities community members enjoyed during the Migratory Bird Fly By event on Oct. 21.

Young Richmondites also learned about soil, water bugs and birds through interactive dis-

plays by Save Soil and Birds Canada.

The most popular attraction, however, was the puppet karaoke, which featured puppets of all sizes, including a heron, singing along to popular tunes including “YMCA” and “Gangnam Style” with the help of children at the event.

The Migratory Bird Fly By event was hosted

by Richmond Nature Park Society with funds from the City of Richmond’s Neighbourhood Celebration Grant.

Ghoulish cars, costumed kids at annual ‘Trunk or Treat’ VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

Cheerful “Trick or treat!” declarations echoed throughout a Richmond parking lot as superheroes, princesses and a giant baby in diapers greeted each other on Saturday.

Parents, children and pets had dressed up in their best costumes and driven to the Richmond Martial Arts parking lot with their spookiest car trunks for the annual “Trunk or Treat.”

According to organizer Johnny Ahmed, the event began around six years ago, and this year’s event saw the most sign-ups ever.

The theme for Co’s trunk,

Richmond Martial Arts’ annual “Trunk or Treat” saw a massive turnout on Saturday. Vikki Hui photo and her family’s costume, was none other than Skibidi Toilet, a viral YouTube animation series.

“My kids love Skibidi Toilet.

The family’s costumes and

the robot guarding their trunk were all handmade by the family over a couple of weeks. “(The event is) a little chaotic, but a lot of fun,” said Co. “I think (the kids) are having a lot of fun.”

YVR SHOE SAMPLE SALE 3.00000X2 R0011940071 - 745024 O C ANNOUNCEMENTS

Wilhelm (Bill) Spanberger passed away peacefully at home in Comox surrounded by his immediate family on September 18th, 2023, at the age of 85.

Bill was born on February 27, 1938, in Pilisvorosvar, Hungary, to parents Martin and Anna Spanberger.

He will be greatly missed by his daughter, Tracy (Andy Walther) and his son, Martin (Mihoko Nagae) and granddaughter Scotia. He was predeceased by his parents, sister Teresa, and brothers Martin and Stephan.

Bill left Hungary at the age of 17 during the revolution in 1956 with his cousin Joseph. They escaped to Austria and then Bill moved to Germany to live with his aunt. He worked as a mechanic for the US Army in Germany and obtained his German citizenship. After 10 years there, he made the journey to Vancouver, BC, where he heard the fishing and hunting were very good. He married in 1970 and had 2 children, whom he raised in Richmond. He worked as a longshoreman until his retirement at 59.

He was an energetic man, loved the outdoors, camping, kayaking, hunting, and fishing, and even cold water swimming in the ocean. You would see him walking or biking to get groceries, right up until this summer. He was always puttering in his garden, growing an amazing variety of vegetables.

He loved good food and was a fantastic cook and baker - mostly known for his delicious cakes, pies, and strudels.

Bill was very adventurous, loved to travel, and loved to learn new languages. He spoke English, Hungarian, German, Russian, and a bit of Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean. He was also an excellent ballroom dancer and was quite happy to show off his moves.

Due to his zest for life and all things outdoors, he was sometimes known to get into a bit of trouble like eating a poisonous mushroom and ending up in hospital for 3 months, or hunting from his kayak and accidentally capsizing alone in the Fraser River late at night in November and needing to be rescued by the hovercraft (Thank you!).

He was determined at 85, that he was going to get his motorcycle license back, and did! He definitely kept us on our toes and made us laugh! He had a great life and did it his way. We are going to miss his antics.

We are forever grateful for the extraordinary care given by both Dr. Wainberg and the Community Home Care support workers and nurses. Your kindness and compassion will not be forgotten.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Bill’s family and friends to share stories and memories on November 12th, from 1-5pm, by invitation.

In remembrance, donations may be made to your local food bank or Habitat for Humanity.
