PARTYING WITH PURPOSE: Maricela
Hof and La Rivas perform a traditional Mexican dance (Jarabe Tapatio) at St. Barnabas Anglican Church’s fundraiser for communities devastated by earthquakes in Mexico. Along with food, like tacos and pozole (a traditional Mexican stew or soup), the Oct. 7 event featured entertainment. Rev. Emilie Smith said the event raised just over $1,000, which will go to Casa de la Solidaridad, which will allocate the funds to where assistance is most needed. “What we were feeling is that more than money, it’s the fact of noticing and caring. That’s the main thing our community was trying to say,” she said of the fundraiser. “We are not a wealthy community, but if we get together and have a big party and have a good time, we can send a little something.” PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
THE CHANGING CITY
Park booze pilot project nets kudos Serving alcohol at city’s waterfront park had its detractors - but summer experience proves successful The City of New Westminster isn’t calling last call for liquor at Westminster Pier Park. Earlier this year, the province
enacted new regulations that allowed the city to test the success of the sale of wine and beer at several events in Westminster Pier Park. Based on the success of the liquor service at the New Westminster Arts Council’s Music by the River events, the city has de-
cided to permit ongoing licensed summer events at the park in partnership with the arts council and other community-based organizations. While the staff recommendation had suggested the city permit the arts council and other
community-based arts organizations to serve liquor at Westminster Pier Park for licensed events, Coun. Lorrie Williams suggested other community organizations, such as sports groups, should be considered as well. Council agreed.
