Heritage gets a reprieve

No fest for 12th By Theresa McManus

Historic homes protected for one year in Queen’s Park By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster has imposed a one-year moratorium on demolitions of heritage homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. While staff explores the idea and consults with the community about creating a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park, council has approved a one-year “heritage control period” requiring all single-family residential homes constructed on or before Dec. 31, 1966 to apply for a heritage alteration permit for demolitions, renovations to the front or sides of the building’s exterior or alterations to the roof. “Residents are eager to expand on the conversation about heritage home conservation in Queen’s Park,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, chair of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood heritage study working group. “During this phase we will discuss protecting what makes this neighbourhood unique, while at the same time finding opportunities to encourage heritage conservation.” A heritage conservation area is a set of policies aimed at conserving the heritage features and feel of a neighbourhood. “I was on the heritage committee when I was first elected in ’96. Queen’s Park was trying to get the city to turn their area into a heritage precinct. There was always a reason why we couldn’t do it,” said Coun. Chuck Continued on page 8

Another one bites the dust. The 12th Street Music Festival committee has announced that it’s cancelling this year’s event, which had been moved to Sunday, July 17 from Sunday, July 24, so it wouldn’t be on the same weekend as the Uptown Live street festival. “We tried to make the new date work.We just didn’t get the interest we usually do,” said Liz Brabbins, president of the West End Business Association. “This time of year, a month before, we’d usually have 100 booths signed up.We had eight. I have eight applications.” Brabbins said the festival has become an important event for changing the identity of the struggling business corridor. She said the group hopes to hold it again next year – in its previous time slot. “The competition with other events has meant that many of our vendors had previous commitments and our major sponsor chose to move to another event,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “The increased insurance liability requirement for our beer garden made this popular feature a non-starter this year.There have been many unintended consequences in changing the date and therefore, rather than produce an inferior event, we felt it better to postpone it with the intention of returning next year.” While the festival was able to line up another sponsor, organizers said there was no point putting sponsorship money Continued on page 5

Up Front BREWERY DISTRICT

Developers add rental units to gain density By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Wesgroup Properties is changing its plans in an effort to increase density on the Brewery District site. City council recently agreed to amend the site’s zoning and master development permit amendments so Wesgroup can add 42,000 square feet of additional density to future buildings on the site, in exchange for providing 84,000 sq.ft of secured market rental housing in Building 5. It also increased the maximum permitted building height and buildable area for future buildings 6 and 7, and increased the maximum height for building eight. “We are looking to substitute 84,000 square feet of strata residential with secured market rental,” said Evan Allegretto, director of development for the Wesgroup. “To do so we are asking for 42,000 square feet of strata residential.We are looking to specify the floorplates and building heights.” Council also agreed to provide a minimum requirement for 65,000 sq.ft. of health-care office and/or medical space in certain parts of the site, and to add “microbrewery, winery and distillery” and “commercial school” to the list of permitted uses. Located on East Columbia Street, a number of buildings are still in the works for the master-planned site. Three commercial buildings at the site are completed and occupied, and the project’s first residential building is currently under construction. Building 5, which had been slated to be 100 per cent strata residential, will now be 50 per cent rental and 50 per cent strata. “Why is secured rental important to the community? Secured rental protects tenancy long-term,” Allegretto said. “It means the owner of a rental building cannot evict a renter in the same rules as a strata owner would be allowed to. It is more affordable. Rent increases are capped. Currently there is a huge lack of supply in the rental market.” As part of its rezoning application, Wesgroup consulted with the community and commissioned a survey of area residents. While most people in the neighbourhood were supportive of the project, Allegretto said those who opposed cited concerns about traffic, too much densification and parking issues. “We are proposing to add additional height to buildings 6, 7 and 8. Building 6 has six additional storeys, building 7 has two storeys and building 8 has five storeys,” Allegretto said. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

No booze at pier concession By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

More food offerings may be served up at Westminster Pier Park this summer, but beer and wine won’t be on the menu. While many locals love the treats offered at the city’s Eats at the Pier concession, the city has approved a trial street food vending project at Pier Park to give folks a variety of dining choices. Under this summer’s pilot project at Westminster Pier Park, food vendors will be able to operate on the parking lot at the west entrance to the park – provided it gets permission from the property owner. “This approval is in principle as the city does not own this property,” said Diane Perry, the city’s manager of community development. “We could make it available for a food truck location, as part of the overall food truck program, if staff are able to obtain approval for such from the owner of the property.” A staff report states that Eats at the Pier had “relatively modest” sales in its inaugural 2015 season and required an operating subsidy from the city. Street food vendors would be required to offer food that’s different and distinct from Eats at the Pier. “Expanding the street food program into Westminster Pier Park has the potential to help Westminster Pier Park become a destination for food and beverages by leveraging off the current public interest in food trucks, street vending and the unique riverfront setting of the park,” said a staff report. Council recently asked staff to report on the feasibility of serv-

ing beer and wine at Eats at the Pier but has learned that the provincial liquor licence and control branch doesn’t issue licences to outdoor concession stand operations. The city, however, can apply for a special occasion liquor licences to serve alcohol at special events hosted by the city or nonprofit organizations. Staff note that new liquor regulations proposed for 2017 would allow municipalities to create a bylaw allowing consumption of liquor in a special public place, such as a city-

owned park.While the city won’t be able to sell alcohol, the proposal would allow people to bring a bottle of wine to a picnic in the park. Coun. Mary Trentadue, who put forward the original motion about selling wine and beer at Eats at the Pier, thinks the special occasion licence is a “good start” to serving beer and wine at Westminster Pier Park. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr opposes the idea of having the city serve alcohol in the park, noting it isn’t a revenue generator and could preclude younger city em-

ployees from working at the concession as they’re not 19 years of age. He doesn’t think it’s necessary for people to be able to buy alcohol when taking their kids and grandkids to the park. “I don’t feel it’s that important that we are able to buy an alcoholic beverage outside in the park.There is ample time to enjoy alcoholic beverages,” he said. “I support permits for special events that happen.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

More youth care workers wanted By Tereza Verenca and Cayley Dobie editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A petition calling on the NewWestminster School District to beef up staffing levels of child and youth care workers is making the rounds. Natalie Lawy, chair of the parents advisory council at Lord Kelvin Elementary School, started a Change.org petition asking the school board to use part of the almost $300,000 in administrative savings the province returned last month and “find a better solution.” Nearly 160 signatures have been collected. Right now, the district has four child and youth care workers who support at-risk children and their families. Elementary schools Richard McBride, LordTweedsmuir, Lord Kelvin and Qayqayt each had a child and youth care worker for the 2015/16 school year. Some of the workers, along with the grades 6 and 7 students from those schools, will be moving to the newly built Fraser River Middle School this fall.

“What we’re doing is having the child and youth care workers follow the children,” superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record. “If you take students away from a school, and in significant numbers, we’re just making sure those Grade 6s and 7s, when they go to Fraser River will have services. “We find the greatest needs are usually in the grades 6s and 7s, and that comes directly from the child and youth care workers themselves. They tell us that.” This “realignment” means the district will be stretching the services of the child and youth care workers to where none existed before, with staff splitting their time among more than one school. “What we’re trying to do is make sure all of our students have access,” Duncan said. But Lawy is worried that if hours aren’t increased and staff will have to extend themselves, some kids won’t get the support they need. “Our child and youth care workers are a critical resource.They help students who are

hungry, who cope with disorders like anxiety, who witness or experience abuse at home, who might fall through the cracks,” Lawy wrote on the petition page. “These students deserve all the support we can give them.Taking away from one vulnerable population to provide for another is not the answer.” Staff presented a plan at the operations and policy planning committee meetingTuesday night that included hiring the equivalent of one full-time child and youth care worker.Trustees, however, requested staff amend their proposal to allow for the equivalent of two full-time workers. Board chair Jonina Campbell said as the district moves to a middle school model, there’s an opportunity to have child and youth care workers at all the elementary and middle schools. “There’s always the challenge that we could do more with more money,” she added. Staff is expected to present an updated proposal for trustees to vote on at next Tuesday’s school board meeting.

Family fun: The 12th Street Music Festival, which typically attracts large crowds to its festivities, won’t be held this summer. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Festival a no-go for 2016 Continued from page 1 into an event that wasn’t going to be successful. “If vendors aren’t coming out, people aren’t going to come out.We want to do it in a big way,” Brabbins said. “We want to do it again next year. Hopefully, if we can figure out the date situation with the city.” Brabbins believes the music festival would have been successful if it had stuck to Sunday, July 24 – and the city asked Uptown Live to pick a different weekend. Some city officials have suggested it’s not council or staff’s role to tell organizations which dates they can host festivals or events in the city. “I hear what they are saying.The only thing with that is they give us money.They know we are a small organization.There are no other events in the West End. There is nothing else that the West End Business Association does for the businesses event-wise – this is it,” she said. “Without this

event, it shuts us down on 12th Street, it shuts down the organization.The businesses, I have never seen so many vacancies on 12th Street before. I know uptown is thriving and they are getting lots of money and they are building and flourishing on that, but at the same time we are just dying over here.” Brabbins said organizers received a $5,000 grant from the city for the event, which will be returned. While some bands had been lined up, she said no contracts had been signed. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who has helped organize the festival and performed at it in the past, is disappointed but supports the organizers’ decision to cancel this year’s event.While there was some discussion about making the event smaller, he said that wasn’t something supported by 12th Street merchants who would have been located outside the festival area. Unlike the downtown and uptown, Puchmayr said

Sapperton and the West End business areas don’t have business improvement associations to organize these types of events and raise funds for initiatives in their commercial areas. “They don’t have fulltime people who are managing this stuff,” he said. “I think that makes it really difficult. Small businesses work extreme hours for one thing, most of them do. Doing that, plus putting on a festival, which is pretty intense, that really adds up.” The 12th Street Music Festival isn’t the first organization to cancel an event this year, as the Quayside Community Board cancelled this year’s Quayside Community Festival and Sale. Northwest Fan Fest, the G-Zero Championship Racing Series and Piknic Electronik had also planned to host events in New West this summer but pulled the plug for a variety of reasons and hope to host events in the summer of 2017.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Heritage homes not just real estate Kudos to city council for passing it and kudos to the Queen’s Park residents who pushed for, and got, a one-year moratorium on demolitions of heritage homes in Queen’s Park. During that year the city will come up with a bylaw, or bylaws, to potentially protect the Queen’s Park neighbourhood as a permanent heritage conservation area. One only has to look at

Vancouver to see what a crazy real estate market has triggered. Beautiful heritage homes are being bulldozed to be replaced by homes that make the 1980s “monster homes” look like cottages.The city of Vancouver has probably been the biggest loser in the quest to demolish heritage homes in favour of new homes with larger footprints and more square

These are not just houses. They are cultural artifacts. footage. But Port Moody and other cities known for their heritage homes have also suffered losses. In Vancouver last year, the city issued 951 demo-

lition permits for singlefamily homes. According to a Vancouver Sun article, 40 per cent were character homes that predated 1940. When a city loses its heritage, it doesn’t just lose a different style of housing or an architectural design, it loses a piece of its very DNA. As Caroline Adderson says, of heritage homes being demolished, “To

me it’s like we are erasing all these stories.These are not just houses.They are cultural artifacts.The house stands for you and your family and all the people who lived in that house. I consider them repositories of merit and memory.” New Westminster has about 60 single-family homes that are heritage designated.Those are split between Queen’s Park and the

West End. So far, heritage homes in the city are still, generally speaking, worth more on the market than new monster homes. But that could always change in a volatile market. New Westminster may not be able to predict the future, but it can work to protect the past. And that’s a good thing. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Transit easier than housing

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew into town late last week and began to solve one pressing issue facing MetroVancouver and then found himself smack in the middle of another one where a solution may prove to be more elusive. Trudeau followed through on a key election promise and provided almost a halfbillion dollars for transit improvements, almost all of them in the metro region. But no sooner did he do that with a lavish photo-op at a transit station than he found himself facing questions about another major issue: the out-of-control housing market in Metro Vancouver. The transit funding is for what is called “Phase 1” of a multi-billion-dollar plan for all kinds of transit and transportation projects in the region. Phase 1 will pay for more cars on various rapid transit routes, a third SeaBus, various maintenance projects and pre-construction planning for two megaprojects: the Broadway subway line and the Surrey light rail lines. Of course, that is based on the assumption that MetroVancouver’s mayors will find a way to fund their share.The first phase was relatively cheap, and so finding a way of paying for it – fare increases, some land sales and a minor property tax increase – wasn’t a particularly onerous task. But the next phase is much more expensive.The mayors are already making noise about getting a share of the

province’s carbon tax, but the odds of that happening appear remote, so they may have to dig deep into the wallets of municipal taxpayers. As for the prime minister, he attended a round-table discussion on the housing problem the day after his splashy transit event. He seemed less sure about things at this gathering, calling the housing situation a “crisis” but at the same time expressing concern that the wrong kind of action could make matters worse. His hesitation is understandable. Everyone seems to be a housing expert these days, but I’ve seen no evidence that any one thing is unquestionably the root of the problem and what the magic bullet solution is. The B.C. government is pressing Trudeau to change tax rules to make it easier to build rental properties, and for the federal government to once again build social housing.The B.C. government itself is likely to give the City ofVancouver the power to tax vacant property owners and will perhaps do some tinkering around foreign ownership. But caution seems to be the watchword for both political leaders on this issue. And our new prime minister is about to discover that signing a big cheque to pay for things like transit is a much easier endeavour than finding the right kind of action to take to deal with the explosive housing market. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Is this how we want democracy to work?

Residents invited to give input into future of Pattullo Bridge

Dear Editor I was shocked by the incredibly low voter turnout for the last byelection. If less than 25 per cent is considered “extremely low,” what about 4.05 per cent? Do most people in New West seriously believe city politics, especially byelections, are so “petty or trivial,” having no effect on our lives? Did the closing of a hospital, noise pollution, traffic woes, garbage collection or reliable electricity all have “no effect on our lives?” In education, does the prompt building (finally!) of a new high school have no effect on our community? Does the appropriate (or inappropriate) distribution of an already tight budget have “no effect on the lives” of our youth? Do people simply not want democracy anymore? If not the present system, what would they want? Aristocracy or absolute rule by wealthy landowners? Oligarchy by elite corporatists who can do anything they wish? Military rule? Theocracy, like in Iran? (or 15th century Europe?) A liberal democracy is the best known workable system, which is the best to live under. But it comes with a price. Thirty million people died during the Second World War in defence of democratic systems and constitutional rights … and the vote. And there is also a responsibility. Under democracy, we are responsible. If we do not choose our leaders rationally, reasonably, and ask ourselves who is the best qualified professional (not mere entertainers or demagogues, please), who will choose the leaders and officers? It is our responsibility. And if we do not stand up for our rights today, they will be taken away from us in the future, possibly by subtle deception from erosion of proper education.

Choir adds to the city’s cultural life

Dear Editor In January, a friend told me about a choir for adults listed in the New Westminster Active Living Guide. She knew that I enjoyed singing and thought I might be interested in signing up. I looked into it and discovered the New Westminster Anvil Community Choir was all about “having fun, discovering your voice and connecting with people in your community.” No experience was necessary nor was an audition required. Sounded perfect to me. I signed up and have not looked back! The choir is directed by Shane Raman who is a choral conductor (and private voice teacher) with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. Shane’s guidance, encouragement and consistently positive energy brings out the best in all of us. Our repertoire includes songs such as What a Wonderful Life, Seasons of Love, Motet, Ave verum corpus and more. All of them, when sung in four-part harmony, sound magical. Our spring session will culminate in a performance in the lobby of the Anvil Centre on June 26 at 3 p.m. called An Afternoon of Song. I would like to thank the City of New Westminster for bringing such a talented choir director to our city and would encourage anyone with an interest in singing to think about signing up for the summer program.

Reflections on love after Orlando shooting David McCann It happened because someone refused to let love into their heart, that someone chose hate over understanding, and someone decided that abandoning his humanity was ok. Apparently the shooter looked at some of the Orlando theme parks as potential sites for his rampage, however thir security was too much for him. As a gay man I don’t think of this as something specifically targeting my community, it targeted us all as loving caring human beings. I will no longer demand gay rights, or trans rights or LGBTG rights or any other silly name --- all I want is my human rights. We have to stop labelling each other and accept and respect that we are all human beings and are part of the same family.

‘Superstar’ food trucks lined up for street fest Tanya Neufeld Mattson I think the car show brought more people to New West and the local restaurants did more business. What has this food truck show brought? I was on the Skytrain and then a bus last week and I saw a, HOT Dog Vendor. How gourmet is that? Chris Danger Make the entire thing a beer garden with adults getting a wrist band so vendors / police know they’re of age. And use ALL of Columbia street. It’s still way too confined for that amount of people. Spread it out more. Beer gardens are an old school way to deal with what should be an easy solution. Herd us into pens like cattle. Jojo MacDowall I went the the first one and it was a disaster....all the trucks had ran out of food.

News How can city save heritage?

Continued from page 1 Puchmayr. “I think with the crazy real estate market right now and the speculation that’s going on, there was finally an appetite for it – if they wanted to preserve that historic neighbourhood, this was the only way of doing it. Otherwise it was going to be demolition after demolition.” The Queen’s Park Neighbourhood heritage study, which has been considering ways to support heritage conservation in the neighbourhood for more than two years, supports the creation of a heritage conservation area. “We have a year to come up with a bylaw.We have a one-year moratorium now.

If we fail, we can’t impose that for another decade.We have a year,” Puchmayr said. “Staff feel very confident we will be able to do that in the proper time and communicate it back to the heritage people in Queen’s Park. They are worried that we will fail, but we won’t fail. It will be done.” Maureen Arvanitidis, president of the Heritage Preservation Society of New Westminster, said taking steps to introduce a conservation area in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood is the most progressive measure the city has taken to preserve the city’s heritage. “We look forward to working with the city to establish the guidelines for the

conservation area and hope that other neighbourhoods, down the road, will also be able to establish conservation areas,” she said. “What makes NewWestminster attractive to people is our heritage, so it is very important we look for ways to retain it, and this is an excellent start.”

Charges are pending against one man following a substantial drug investigation by New Westminster police. In March, RCMP alerted local police of drug activity with a possible connection to the Royal City. The New Westminster Police Department’s street crime unit was tasked with

the investigation and, after a short while, discovered evidence of drug trafficking, noted a press release from police. Through this investigation, a “significant” amount of illegal drugs was seized, and on June 14, several search warrants were executed around the Lower Mainland.

The searches turned up an undisclosed amount of cash and additional drugs. A male suspect was also arrested but released until charges are officially laid. The New Westminster Police Department was unable to provide any more information on the investigation. – Cayley Dobie

News City nixes proposal to relocate 125-year-old home Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The fate of an 1891 home in the Moody Park neighbourhood is uncertain after city council heeded neighbours’ appeals to reject a proposed heritage revitalization agreement. The owner of the house at 1031 Sixth Ave. applied for a heritage revitalization agreement so he could move

the house to the rear of the lot and build a new house at the front of the property. More than a dozen neighbours attended a June 20 public hearing to oppose the plan. “This is not a lane house proposal,” said neighbour Jacquie Park. “This is a house on a lane.” Park said the land-use proposal is “far too severe” for the 4,385-square-foot

lot, with the two houses and parking taking up most of the site. She urged council to consider the impacts the “intrusive” proposal would have on heritage homes beside and behind the property. “This 125-year-old heritage home in NewWestminster shouldn’t be the subordinate house on the parcel, or any other for that matter,” she said. “Hiding that

125-year-old home at the rear of the property is an affront to the heritage of New Westminster.” A staff report stated the owner bought the house in 2014 with the intention of restoring the outside and renovating the inside of the McLaughlin House.The house is listed on the city’s heritage inventory but isn’t a designated heritage home. The report says the own-

er explored a number of options to expand the house or build a new laneway house but none met his family’s needs. The city’s community heritage commission opposed demolition of the house and encouraged the owner to find a way to retain it by building a laneway house or creating a duplex. Council members thanked the homeowner for

going through the process but unanimously opposed the application. The owner has the right to apply for a demolition permit. “If we turn this down we may be sounding the death knell for this house because he certainly has a right to demolish if he so chooses,” said Coun. LorrieWilliams. “I would like to save the house.”

Shortly after arriving in the Lower Mainland and realizing there was no support for First Nations people migrating to urban centres, the New West resident helped establish the first aboriginal service agency in Canada. From one friendship centre grew 24 more, making it the largest network of service-providing agencies in the province. White also helped create the National Association of

Take us back to 1963 when the committee was struck to set up a friendship centre for aboriginals moving from reserves and into Vancouver.What were migrants going through at the time? I was one of those (migrants), and that’s why I was so interested in getting something started. I migrated to Vancouver to take a course. So when I got here, there were absolutely no services available for migrating aboriginal people into the urban area. … (Like) a meeting place where you

We’re still struggling to get funding to visit them and to listen to some of their needs. So I started what was called the Indian Education Club in those days. I started visiting them and just listening to what their needs were, and they themselves identified they

needed a safe place to live when you’re released back into the community. In 1970, we opened a house from funding from the provincial government, so we were able to get that organization started. Like everything else, it’s a big challenge, but fortunately in those days, the needs for zoning and (the) bylaws weren’t as strict as they are today, so we opened the halfway house without too much of a challenge.

Getting this particular award makes me feel like I have accomplished something in my efforts to provide a better quality of life for the aboriginal people migrating into urban cities. As I’ve worked in the communities, it’s never been about recognition for myself, or feeling like I deserve that, just really focusing on what the needs are of the people. For me, it was just identifying what are the gaps in services for our people because one organization could not do everything for everybody. Continued on page 12

People Make art in the park at new community event

19 81

Making Funny Faces runs July 12 in Ryall Park all ages and will give people a chance to make their own version of a wacky family portrait, create an impression of a friend or relative, or even make a self-portrait. It runs from 6 to 8 p.m., and kids and adults are all welcome. “The aim is to have a good time and indulge in some creativity together in a lovely outdoor setting on a

summer evening,” said artist Karen Justice in an email. Making Funny Faces is the first of two Community Art in the Park events – the next one will take place Tuesday, Aug. 9 (stay tuned for details about that project). The sessions are being funded by a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation.

Living Archive exhibition opens Wellness Exams

Emerging artists have taken inspiration from museum collection History comes to life in uniquely contemporary ways in a new exhibition at the New Westminster Museum and Archives. The Living Archive exhibition launches with an opening reception on Thursday, June 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition is the culmination of a program that brought together nine youth artists, ranging in age from 17 to 24, to delve into the museum’s collections and create original artwork based on their findings. They were mentored by lead artist Cindy Mochizuki, who says visitors to the show will see “a range of different responses to the museum that allow us to experience things forgotten and invisible, whimsical and still very much alive.” One of the artists involved is New Westminster resident Cherry Lu, who says her objective was to highlight “the undiscovered spaces” within the museum and archives.

She created text-based art that highlights the “scratches and dents” in the museum and explores “the ordinary and overlooked as part of history through poetic gestures and a bit of playfulness.” Another of the artists was Harrison Tom, who brought his background in biology to the table. For him, the process was about exploring the idea of museums themselves: “as concepts and what that meant.” For Roni Kim, meanwhile, taking part in the Living Archive was a chance to create conversations about other stories in our history – stories that might not be told in the museum. Kim, who’s in the fine arts program at the University of Victoria, used the Living Archive experience to create an animation and audio work about the story of Amelia Douglas, the wife of James Douglas – exploring the fact that both the Douglases hid their mixed-race identities in order to main-

tain their status during colonial times. The opening reception is tonight (Thursday) from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is free, and there will be light refreshments and a cash bar. Artists will also be on hand Thursday, June 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for a panel discussion about the project. Some of the artists will also be offering public workshops in July and August.

You can follow the artists’ journeys at www.living archives2016.tumblr.com. To check out the exhibition, drop in to the museum at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. It’s open to the public every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours on Thursdays to 8 p.m. Admission is by donation.The exhibition is open until Sunday, Aug. 21.

Arts & Entertainment space_ exhibition launches tonight Take a voyage into space in the next exhibition at the New Media Gallery. The gallery is getting set to open its space_ exhibition on Thursday, June 23. The exhibition presents four works by five artists, including Turner Prize winner Elizabeth Price and Turner Prize nominees Jane and Louise Wilson, as well as American artists David Bowen and Kristina Estell. “This is an exhibition connected with space, that great void, and our relationship with bodies in space. The works in this exhibition track moving bodies in space, monitoring passing time, great distances and a repetition of recorded histories,” a press release says. “There is a focus on celestial bodies and manmade objects sent out into space. Together the works remind us of places and objects that are only a memory now, and how once there was a race for space.” Estell’s work, Voyager-One, traces the realtime path of the VoyagerOne space probe that was launched in 1977 and entered extra-terrestrial space

in 1990.The distance of the probe from earth is translated into colour shifts experienced through a tiny light in a completely dark room. Bowen’s SPACEJUNK consists of five robots who trace the path of the oldest piece of space junk circling overhead. “The robots move together in real time when they detect a signal, as if in a mechanical ballet,” the release says. Star City is a four-channel video installation by Jane and Louise Wilson that explores theYuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, where cosmonauts have lived and trained since the 1960s. Also in the exhibition is Price’s Sunlight, a twochannel video installation that incorporates thousands of glass plate negatives of the sun and explores the paths and attitudes of the celestial and human body. An opening reception is set for tonight (Thursday, June 23) from 7 to 9 p.m. All are welcome. For more information, see www.new mediagallery.ca, or drop in to the Anvil Centre at 777 Columbia St.

CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER 2015 COMMUNITY REPORT

Mayor’s Message ON BEHALF OF NEW WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL, I AM PROUD TO SHARE THE CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER’S KEY INITIATIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PAST YEAR. 2015 was a remarkable year for the City of New Westminster. The downtown was renewed with the demolition of a section of the Front Street Parkade, which uncovered a large portion of Front Street heritage buildings and storefronts. This demolition is in preparation for the development of the Front Street Mews. The Mews is envisioned to be an attractive, safe and pedestrian-friendly street which will also serve as a seamless connection to our waterfront. In order to address topics of critical interest raised by the community, a number of task forces comprised of community members with expertise in speciﬁc areas were established including: Transportation; Canada Games Pool; Economic Health Care Cluster; and Public Engagement.

In partnership with residents, we worked diligently to revise our Official Community Plan, providing a renewed vision for New Westminster to the year 2041. The Official Community Plan will ensure our community grows in a smart and sustainable way that protects what makes New Westminster so special. I’d like to say a huge thank you to City Council, staff, residents’ and business associations, community volunteers and local citizens for all your hard work. I look forward to working with you in 2016 on more exciting initiatives that improve engagement and quality of life for everyone in New Westminster.

Community Student’s artwork wins city enviro poster contest Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Faith Villareal will soon see her artwork adorning one of the city’s collection trucks. Grade 5 students in New Westminster were recently invited to participate in an environmental poster contest that showed the importance of conserving the region’s water and illustrated ways to conserve it. “This year’s theme was WatchYour Flow H20,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The contest provided an opportunity for students to participate in environmental learning opportunities that coincided with Earth Day on April 22.” Now in its ninth year, the contest garnered 222 entries from students at seven elementary schools in New West.Villareal took first place, with Matiss Osborne in second and Mercel Bunuan in third. “The students here this evening should be very

proud of the work they did to get here,” Cote said. “The quality of the entries speaks to the leadership of our youth on environmental issues.” HELPING MONARCH PLACE Coun. Lorrie Williams lucked out at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association in Whistler, but Monarch Place ended up being the real winner. While attending last month’s conference,Williams’ name was drawn as the recipient of a $1,500 donation from Fortis B.C. to go a charity of her choice. Williams asked that her money go to Monarch Place, a transition house in New Westminster that helps women and children fleeing domestic violence. CALLING DOUGLAS COLLEGE RETIREES The Douglas College Retirees Association is on the hunt for former employees who may want to attend an upcoming picnic. The association is orga-

nizing a picnic for Tuesday, July 5 from noon to 2 p.m. at the lower Hume Park picnic shelter. Former employees are asked to bring a picnic lunch, with organizers bringing tea and coffee and door prizes to raffle off. RSVP to Diana Wegner at wegnerd@telus.net. HYACK HEADS TO PORTLAND Shane Ward took a ride through Portland in a mini float as part of her duties as Hyack Princess 2016. During Portland’s Grand Floral Parade on June 11, Ward rode in New Westminster’s mini float entry, joining three other American community ambassadors riding in mini floats in the parade.The event is part of the Portland Rose Festival. "Spectators were very gracious and welcoming," she said after her ride in the parade route. Alan Wardle, president of the Hyack Festival Association, said several volunteers built and decorated the mini float.The city’s

big float didn’t qualify for the parade because of the cost of retrofitting it to meet the requirements of ensuring that all visible materials adorning the float being organic or floral. “The cost to retrofit the float would have exceeded $25,000, so we slipped into the parade with a golf

cart chassis and a crew that went to Portland a week early to build and decorate a mini float.There were 10 communities that entered in this category. Four were in a theme of floral covered dresses that our ambassadors perched into a small opening at the top of the dress to appear that she

was ‘floating’ down the parade route,”Wardle said “This is the first time in decades New Westminster Hyack Festival has been in the Portland Grand Floral parade with Fox TV coverage.” Send items for Around Town to Theresa at tmcmanus@ newwestrecord.ca.

Community City moves forward on plans for animal shelter Construction of new facility set to start next spring Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Construction of New Westminster’s new animal shelter and tow yard is expected to get underway in 2017. A city task force reviewed a number of city-owned sites and determined 435 Wood St. to be the best location for a new animal shelter and tow yard.The plan calls for a building about 7,100 square feet and includes space for cats, dogs and other small animals, as

well as space for volunteers and administrative staff of the animal services and parking/towing services. “To date staff have commissioned a preliminary geotechnical investigation under the Queensborough Bridge to get a sense of costing and the feasibility of that site,” said Terry Atherton, the city’s manager of civic buildings and properties. “Also, the architect, staff and members of the task force worked quite hard in coming up with a detailed schematic floor plan,

which would incorporate all our program requirements.” Atherton said the new site is expected to accommodate the city’s needs for about 25 years. It would also provide a space that offers better separation of cats and dogs to prevent any kind of cross contamination. “We anticipate the detailed design on the facility to begin probably in August and maybe carry on until early 2017,” Atherton said. Construction of the facility is expected to start in the spring of 2017, he added.

2016

Movie studio plans approved It could be lights, cameras, action in Queensborough in the coming years. On June 20, council agreed to issue a three-year temporary use permit for 401 and 451 Salter St. to allow motion picture pro-

duction studios on the site. Ironwood Studios plans to sublet its studios and office space to production companies involved in the production of movies,TV shows and commercials. Although 11 residential

properties are located within 100 metres of the site, city staff say there will be minimal impacts, as the properties are separated by a row of hedges, a rail line and a wide road right-of-way. – Theresa McManus

WHAT GOES UP … New Westminster firefighters were called to the Canada Games Pool on July 1, 1993 after a youngster climbed up the roof but couldn’t get back down. Firefighters used ladders to rescue the boy and suggested he not try that stunt again.“It’s pretty scary once you’re up there,” then fire inspector Brian Westell told the Record. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Queensborough is getting a number of new amenities courtesy of local developments. As part of development proposals seeking additional density, land-use changes and some variances, the city accepts voluntary contributions toward an amenity fund that helps fund capital investments. Currently, there’s $2.45 million in the voluntary amenity contribution reserve fund, including $921,636 in unallocated funds – of which $377,000 has come from projects in Queensborough. Council has approved

top honours – Restaurant of theYear – for Maenam restaurant in Vancouver. Maenam also won Best Thai in the magazine’s awards – an award it’s received almost annually. “When we opened our doors in 2009 we set out to be the best Thai restaurant in Kitsilano, but we never imagined we would one day be crowned Restaurant of theYear,” An said. “It’s

thrilling to see a Thai restaurant take home such an incredible honour.” Locally, diners can enjoy An’s culinary creations at the two restaurants in River Market, where Longtail Kitchen serves up Thai-style comfort food and the Freebird Chicken Shack serves Asian-style rotisserie chicken and sides like rice, soups and salads. Longtail Kitchen took

home a bronze for Best Thai in the 2016 Vancouver Magazine restaurant awards. Another local restaurant, D. Roti Shak at 808 12th St. took a silver in the Bests of the Americas category for its Caribbean fare. Have a business item for Movers & Shakers?

Tour New Westminster’s waterfront circa 1865 V V ista

Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

We certainly hope that you were able to take part in some of the activities on the New Westminster waterfront last weekend during the city’s Pier 2 Landing event.There was the new elevator to see, lots of fun, food, games, entertainment, both walking and bike tours, and of course, you could walk right down the middle of Front Street! If, rather than being the middle of June of 2016, it was 151 years ago in the middle of June 1865, what do you think might have been of interest to us? First of all, let’s remember that the waterfront itself was very different.There were few docks, the river was much closer to any structures on the riverbank, and the city itself was still working out what to do with Front Street. All that aside, what was on the town’s mind down by the river? Everyone talks about the weather and in 1865 they were complaining about lots of rain.They must have had some warm weather though because we read “the first ripe strawberries of the season that we have seen are from the garden of Dr. McNaughton Jones.” It was

noted that, although the fruit crop was late, “it promises to be very abundant.” While the paddlewheel steamboat traffic was dominant on the river, there was great attention in June 1865 in the deep sea sailing vessels arriving from much farther away.The bark Metropolis was in the area with sheep and general cargo after an 18-day sail from San Francisco.The ship Mary Glover had arrived after a 55-day trip from Hong Kong with cargo and 280 Chinese passengers.The schooner Milton Badger, 185 days out of NewYork, brought supplies for the Collins Overland Telegraph. The latter would have been of great local interest as the telegraph was under construction and the vessel was off-loading at the Pioneer Wharf. Speaking of the telegraph, anyone down at the water-

iew

front in June 1865 would also have been watching the work at the river’s edge as poles were erected and cable submerged to connect the New Westminster side to the Surrey side. A glance through the local paper of this time shows a couple of other items that might have elicited a few comments. A number of lots would be up for auction soon as they had been reclaimed in default of taxes. Another property for sale was a complete salmon fishery with all necessary equipment located opposite New Westminster on the Fraser. And while all of these items would have spurred conversation on the waterfront in mid-June 1865, the most exciting topic might have been that “three slight shocks of an earthquake were felt” locally.

A golf tournament organized by front-line staff at Royal Columbian Hospital has reached new fundraising heights during its fourth annual event. More than 150 golfers and sponsors took to the links for the Making the Cut Charity Golf Classic on June 11, raising more than $40,000 to help Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation buy lifesaving surgical equipment. In its four years, Making the Cut has raised close to $120,000 and has become the foundation’s premier golf fundraiser. The fundraiser is led by hospital staff, including anesthesiologist Dr. Feisal Mohamedali, who launched the annual Making the Cut Charity Golf Classic in 2013. “As one of the province’s top critical care hospitals, we look after some of the most seriously ill and injured patients in B.C.,” Mohamedali stated in a Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation press release. “With
