Aquatics centre work gets underway

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of NewWestminster has officially broken ground on its new $106.6-million aquatics and community centre.

While there would normally be an official groundbreaking to signal the start to a project of this magnitude, because of COVID-19 the city has instead released a video that discusses the recreational, accessibility, sustainability and reconciliation components of the project. It also includes an Indigenous blessing, comments from various community members about the project’s significance and a socially distanced photo opportunity with some council members.

“This project has been many years in the making, and I’m very proud of the extensive engagement that has taken place and the community input we received from individuals of all ages and backgrounds,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a news release. “The final design reflects the Continued on page 3

BUSINESS

New patios are springing up all over town

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWest residents will be able to dine and drink at more outdoor patios than ever before this summer.

The city’s business and local economy task force is reporting a sharp increase in the number of inquires about the city’s temporary patio and sidewalk café program.While some businesses took advantage of the program after it was introduced last spring, an increasing number of businesses are getting on board and creating new outdoor spaces that will remain in place until Oct. 31.

“We didn’t have a lot of uptake last year because we were still in the early stage of the pandemic,” said Blair Fryer, the city’s manager of economic development and communications. “Many businesses were still trying to make decisions around staying open versus closing, and how long the pandemic was going to last.

So this year, when the circuit breaker went in in late March, businesses became very aware of the need to take advantage of the temporary patio program that we initiated last year.We saw a lot more uptake this year.”

To ensure local businesses were aware of the temporary patio opportu-

nity, city staff went doorto-door and spoke to every food establishment in the city, Fryer said.

In addition to the three city-operated parklets established in response to COVID in 2020, Fryer said 20 new patios or parklets have been created on public property in front of businesses or on private property owned by those establishments.

“We are absolutely pleased with the response.

Number 1, it is providing lots of additional opportunities for these businesses to better meet their previous occupancy, which helps them not only survive during the pandemic but assists in recovery as we roll out of it,” he said.

“It also has really created a different feel and look on our streetscape, which has been quite interesting.”

Fryer said the city has had lots of positive feedback from residents about how much they appreciate the chance to eat outside and how much they like seeing people enjoying themselves outside in the middle of a pandemic.

Last May, the provincial government temporarily authorized the expansion of service areas, such as patios, to support physical distancing requirements and industry recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fryer noted the Liquor

and Cannabis Regulation branch temporarily expanded the area where food businesses could serve food and liquor, while provincial health orders dictate when businesses must stop patio service (10 p.m.).

HELPING BUSINESSES SURVIVE THE PANDEMIC Fryer said economic development staff work with other divisions that would be involved in patio applications, as the patio designs proposed by the businesses must be reviewed for their compliance to safety and COVID-19 protocols before being given the green light.

“Under the normal patio program, you would

apply to put in a patio and there would be a cost associated,” he said. “There are no costs that the city puts on the business for these temporary patios. It’s really up to them to put up what they want.”

Although the applicants may need to adjust their insurance coverage to incorporate the patios, Fryer said the city is also waiving the fees it would normally charge for leasing of onstreet parking spots.

“We are really keen on ensuring that as many businesses as possible continue to remain viable through the pandemic and, as importantly, emerge successfully on the other side,” he said.

Fryer said the tem-

porary patio program is about working with businesses to ensure they make it through one of the most challenging times the community has ever faced.

“We have seen a lot of businesses be extremely resilient, be very creative in how they have been managing their business during the pandemic, and we are really hopeful that we continue to see more of this as we come through the tail end,” he said.

Fryer said the city continues to receive patio applications, and he expects to see more temporary patios pop up around town.

“You are seeing some really creative patio installations,” he said. “I think it really is a sign of how the

businesses have taken this opportunity, not only to assist them through a pandemic but also to assist them in identifying them as a community business and an important part of the neighbourhood.”

Fryer said the patios can be found in all of the city’s commercial areas, including Queensborough, uptown, downtown, Sapperton and 12th Street.

“We definitely encourage people to head out and about into the community, and they’ll make some really great discoveries around these temporary patios,” he said.

Steel & Oak Brewing Company is among the local businesses that are keen about the patio program.

Having built a temporary patio last summer (which is now being made permanent), the local craft brewery is now constructing a new temporary patio on a different side of its building.

Jorden Foss, co-owner of Steel & Oak, said some COVID-19 restrictions are loosening up, but many people still seem more comfortable being outdoors.

“We have also felt how great it is to have that patio,” he said. “We didn’t know what we were missing until we got it.”

Mayor promises facility’s name will be announced soon

Continued from page 1 community’s values and priorities, with an overall goal of reducing barriers to access.The new facility will be an inclusive and accessible place where everyone feels welcome and that they belong,” Cote said.

As for the facility’s name, Cote promised the new name will be announced soon.

The new aquatics and community centre will replace the aging Can-

ada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre into a combined 10,644-square-metre (114,571-square-feet) state-of-the-art facility.

The new facility is being designed by HCMA Architecture + Design and integrates principles of flexibility, accessibility, sustainability, social connectivity, and connectivity to nature, states the press release.

“The theme of social

connectivity is one that we heard quite prominently throughout our engagement process.The new facility is meant to be a space where people can come together through programming and community meeting spaces,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation. “The space has also been designed to enhance the connections between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The landscaping will in-

clude basketball courts, open lawn spaces and areas for outdoor programming, lounging and play.”

According to the city, spaces have been designed to accommodate a wide variety of activities that can adapt over time as community needs and priorities change.

The aquatic space will include an eight-lane, 50-metre pool with a moveable floor and bulkheads that allow for mul-

tiple configurations to ensure flexibility in programming.The leisure pool includes hot pools, a tot zone and a lazy river that can be used for play activities and therapeutic programming.

The facility will also feature an 11,150-squarefoot fitness centre and two gymnasiums that will accommodate various sport activities.The community space will include multipurpose rooms, commu-

nity gathering spaces that will support social programming and connections, and 45 new, licensed child-care spaces supported by the Childcare BC New Spaces Fund.

According to the city, the new facility is scheduled to open in late 2023, with demolition of the old facilities and completion of the outdoor spaces anticipated to be complete for summer 2024.

City Council wants to bring ‘whimsy and joy’ to the city Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster is looking to spread a little joy and whimsy to help community members recover from the global pandemic.

On Monday, council received a report about the city’s efforts to plan and reopen civic facilities and restart programming that’s been suspended or modified because of COVID-19.

“It’s given me some time to reflect on kind of where the community is at right now,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

He said the pandemic, fires and serious issues faced by the city have made for a tough year for community members.

“Is there a way that we can kind of think about bringing the community

out of this difficult year? In previous years there was a lot to be excited about, a lot to be joyful about.

I am kind of feeling that maybe the city has a potential role to play in that regard,” he said. “I know I have often joked that cities should have departments of whimsy in the city infrastructure, just because we often see what cities can do to bring a little bit of levity and joy to their community.”

While council stopped short of creating a new Department ofWhimsy, it did approve a motion directing staff to investigate support for community events that bring whimsy and joy to NewWestminster, to draw the community out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community events or festivals and public art were two of the ideas Cote

proposed. believes creative ideas can “Those are a couple of be found, such as pubthings, and I’m sure there lic art or pop-up musical could be other ideas,” he events. said. “Ultimately, I did “I love the Department want to suggest, if council ofWhimsy.Why don’t we was interested, that we dihave it?

Mary Trentadue organize major events like agreed. festivals or parades, but he “I think we have a lot of

really great partners in the city. Maybe there is a way to leverage those partnerships and to help some of those groups do some of this work,” she said.

Coun. Nadine Nakagawa, who donned a unicorn headband for the discussion, said she would be willing to serve as council’s liaison for a Department ofWhimsy.

“While I absolutely am whimsical and joyful, I can also be No Fun Nadine,” she said. “I would say, I think that people also do need an opportunity to grieve together, and grieve all that we have lost, which is friendships – friends that have moved away, people who have lost family members.There’s been a lot lost this year. I think that grieving can also be joyful in some ways, and beautiful.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy

supports efforts to help community members recover from the trauma they’ve experienced in the past year.

“You may not want to call it that, but we have all been through a collective trauma, even for some people who might think they have had relatively minor isolation and stress or restrictions,” McEvoy said. “It’s been over a year. It’s the kind of thing that can have an impact on people, even people who are not aware.”

Cote said he appreciated council’s interest in the idea.

“I didn’t come with a prescriptive idea of exactly how we are going to bring joy and whimsy to the community,” he said, “but, if we put our minds to it, I think there are some good ideas that can emerge.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. made the right call on schools

B.C. has done many things differently than other provinces when it comes to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the key differences is B.C. keeping its K-12 school system open with in-person learning the entire school year.

It has been a controversial decision.The BC Teachers’ Federation has challenged almost every aspect of the reopening plans. Social media has been home to critics savagely attacking the idea of keeping schools open.

While all provinces began the school year with in-person learning, some – notably Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta – have switched to online learning for long stretches of the year.The result has been a confusing mess of a school year in many places outside of B.C. Dr. Bonnie Henry has insisted since B.C. schools reopened last spring that there is low transmission in schools and that protecting the mental health of young people was worth what was – and remains – a relatively small risk of getting the virus from inside a school.

Indeed, a recent report

by Ontario’s Science Advisory Panel concluded school closures have a widespread and significant negative impact on students’ mental and physical health as well as their academic achievement.

To its credit, the BC NDP government has let Henry and public health officials make the determination of risks and benefits that flow from having schools open – just as it gives public health the lead hand on pretty much all COVID-19 decisions.

As I have noted in this space before, Premier John Horgan told me when the pandemic began he would not be the lead public face on this issue and would leave things pretty much

up to Henry, Health Minister Adrian Dix and other cabinet ministers.

That stands in stark contrast to some other premiers, notably Ontario’s Doug Ford and Alberta’s Jason Kenney. Ford, in particular, has presided over a clumsy, inconsistent and political approach that sometimes closes schools and sometimes does not.

Ontario has now closed all schools until the next school year.

Just as B.C. took a softer approach when it came to in-person dining - for much of the year, this province was the only province west of New Brunswick where you could sit down at an indoor table at restaurant and enjoy a meal with others – we have taken a softer approach when it came to schools.

B.C. parents overwhelmingly support the continued reopening, while parents in Ontario are feeling quite the opposite right now.

Some things have been hit and miss in this pandemic. Officials in all provinces were slow to act to curb the threat of COVID-19 on long-term care homes, for example, and the border with the U.S. stayed open too long.

But B.C. got it right when it came to keeping our schools open. As the end of the school year approaches, it is worth noting cases associated with school-aged kids have remained consistently low since the pandemic began: fewer than 25,000 cases (4% of the school population) and less than 130 hospitalized (.02%).

B.C. schools are safe, and they are open. Both of those accomplishments rank as two of the province’s biggest and most important victories in this pandemic.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Are you ready to get an electric vehicle?

“Already have switched to EV, have saved lots on gas and maintenance.”

“Electric infrastructure should be a priority before we all go out and buy electric vehicles.”

Bomb scare delays the mail

Mail delivery was delayed in some parts of the city after a bomb scare sparked the evacuation of the federal building on Columbia Street (now home to New Westminster Police Department headquarters).The building, which at that time housed the post office and offices for corrections and immigration, was evacuated after a suspicious box was left under a chair in a lobby area. Police called in the bomb squad, which took about an hour to determine the box contained only junk.

Hearing got it right

Editor: An open letter to the New Westminster city clerk and council: On May 31, I watched council and staff commit to and actively uphold democracy. You modeled how to lead and hold people accountable to respect. Thank you.

I was surprised when the public hearing session opened with a statement. “Council is committed to ensuring that all people who speak at this hearing are treated fairly and respectfully, and the language we use will reflect that.”

The beautifully written statement went on to define discriminatory language and the best practices for comments. By re-reading the statement throughout the night, council confirmed the rules of engagement in a way that leaned into our shared democratic value of respect — and instructed speakers how to align their values with their statements.

I was thrilled when council acted to uphold their stated commitments. Just as the tone started to shift and speakers risked making disrespectful assumptions about those who disagreed with them, councillors interjected to remind us about respect. Then, I cheered when they intervened again to reify the line between fact and opinion.

It is one thing to name our values, it is another to defend the norms of our democracy actively. Thank you to the city clerks and staff who researched, supported and wrote the commitments. By creating the statement, you started a process for councillors to speak up and defend democratic norms of respect and fact-based commentary.

Overall, I think the public hearing is a flawed process. It changes no one’s opinion. The format too easily creates an “us versus them” dynamic that activates and strengthens toxic polarization. Sadly, the Local Government Act also mandates it.

As you know, Division 3, Section 465 of the Local Government Act says municipalities must give “all persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw” an opportunity “to be heard.” It also says the chair “may establish procedural rules for the conduct of the hearing.”

I am proud to live in a city that saw the flaws in status quo procedures and experimented with improving them. Thank you for taking that risk. I believe it paid off.

Thank you council for being brave enough to try something new, put yourself out there, and call-in your constituents.

People New West teen records anthem for grads of 2021 Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

When Elizabeth Irving first started high school, the words “Grade 12” carried the weight of great expectations.

Grade 12 would be the year of momentous occasions, the year that would reward you for all your work over the previous five years. It would be the year when everything happened.

It wasn’t supposed to be the year when everything went sideways in a global pandemic.

But the 17-year-old New West resident, who’s about to graduate from St. Thomas More Collegiate, hasn’t let COVID-19 stop her from carving out her own memorable grad year.

Irving just released a new single, Your Time, which she wrote during some of her moments of struggle in 2020.

“I was going into Grade 12. I was kinda losing a little bit of hope,” she said.

“This song really helped me get through the pandemic. It’s an anthem that I hope inspires other people.”

The song was recorded at Paranoyd Studios in Port Moody, where Irving has been recording since she first won a Tri-Cities Got Talent contest as a 10-year-old in 2014. It was then mixed and mastered in L.A. under pro-

into her Grade 12 year.

Her schedule at STM has her in class part-time and online part-time, on alternating days.

Despite COVID, she’s been able to continue pursuing her studies in the school’s music department. She’s a member of the school’s concert choir and its auditioned chamber and jazz choirs, and she notes the two auditioned groups require a huge time commitment.

“It’s almost like you’re taking football or a very high-end sport, just because of how much time it takes up,” she said.

Choir is also where she has found “really, really amazing friends,” and she’s glad they’ve been able to keep singing, albeit with masks on and physically distanced from each other – and without the live performances they would otherwise be offering.

Learning through COVID isn’t easy on anyone, Irving admitted, but she said she’s grateful to be at STM. “The teachers and the staff have really advocated for all the Grade 12s and are really, really trying their best to make the most out of this year,” she said.

To round out her final year, Irving has also continued playing on the school’s Ultimate Frisbee team and volunteer-

ing in the learning assistance department, where she works as a teacher’s assistant and peer tutor helping students with disabilities.

That work, in combination with her love of music, has set Irving on her path into the future. Come fall, she’ll be starting music therapy studies at Capilano University.

“I love working with kids and people, especially children that have a disability.That’s something that I really love to do,” Irving said. “Music therapy

was really kind of a nobrainer for me.”

With fall now in sight, Irving is also looking forward to a world where she can start spending more time with her family and friends again.

The one thing that’s tops on her to-do list?

Hugging everyone she knows.

“I’m also a huge hugger, so not being able to hug my family and friends has been hard for me,” she said with a laugh.

Pattullo Bridge Replacement

In-River Bridge Foundation Construction The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure advises that the contractor designing and building the toll-free Pattullo Bridge Replacement, Fraser Crossing Partners, will resume work on the in-river bridge foundations this summer. This work will continue throughout the year.

In-river work is anticipated to start in late June or early July, subject to river conditions and in accordance with Fisheries and Oceans Canada requirements for minimizing impact on fish and fish habitat. Nearby businesses and residents will hear some noise from intermittent pile driving. As much as possible, a shroud will be used during pile driving to reduce noise.

What to Expect

Hours of Work

• Intermittent pile driving and placement of reinforced steel and concrete.

Intermittent pile driving will occur:

• A crane and barges in the river.

• A temporary in-river access platform for marine construction on the Surrey side.

• No vehicle traffic impacts are expected.

• Weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

• Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Welding and other related work will be done at night and on Sundays. No pile driving activities will take place on Sundays or holidays.

For more information, please visit pattullobridgereplacement.ca or contact the project 24/7 at 1 844 815-6149 or email pattullobridgeproject@gov.bc.ca.

Community Letter exchange planned to combat pandemic isolation Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A local resident is using their passion for writing to to help those who may be feeling isolated by the pandemic.

The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association is supporting the New West Letter Exchange, an initiative created by Monique Stanley-Davy, a Douglas College student and published author.

Although Stanley-Davy moved to New Westminster just before the pandemic, they still feel the city provided a warm welcome – and now want to give back to the community by sharing their passion for writing and to reintroduce the lost art of a thoughtful handwritten note.

“I want to help the community feel connected during a time of such disconnect,” Stanley-Davy said in a press release. “I’ve created the

Sharing hope: Monique Stanley-Davy is spearheading the New West Letter Exchange, an initiative designed to help combat pandemic isolation.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

New West Letter Exchange to share my passion with the community and encourage positivity through writing.”

Stanley-Davy will consider the project successful if it helps even one person feel less lonely during the pandemic.

The Downtown New West BIA believes the New West Letter Exchange provides residents with an opportunity to flex their penmanship

skills and to connect with their neighbours.

Through the New West Letter Exchange, StanleyDavy is encouraging people to put pen to paper to share an uplifting story or an inspiring message; no letter is too long or too short.

The letters are an opportunity to share experiences and lessons with neighbours.

Once folks have written their letter, they’ll drop it off at the New West Letter Exchange, which is located on the Quayside Boardwalk near theWaterfront Esplanade entrance.

“Your letter will not be the only one there,” said the press release. “When you drop off your letter, you get to take another home to enjoy.Then you can share the kind wisdom online using #nwletterxchange.”

Community Drive-thru shred-athon set for this Saturday

CUSTOM WORK

Firefighters’ fundraiser helps local organizations Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society is gearing up for this year’s shred-athon.

Residents and businesses are invited to bring papers needing to be shredded to the shred-athon, which is taking place on Saturday, June 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Queen’s Park Arena’s north parking lot.

“It’s a drive-thru. No walkups,” said firefighter Eric Picher, secretary of the charitable society.

“There is going to be a line of cars, and once you get to the front we will remove all the stuff out of people’s cars for them and take a

donation, either in cash or by card.We have gotten a debit terminal now, so we can do cards.”

All documents will be shredded on site.

“The company that we are using this year is called BEST Shredding,” Picher said. “There will be two trucks, with shredding technicians on-site, who will destroy it right away.”

The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society raises money for a wide variety of programs and organizations around town, including the Union Gospel Mission and the Purpose Society. New West firefighters volunteer for the society via various fundraisers, including the shred-athon, a Christmas

tree chipping event and a hockey game between the firefighters and the Vancouver Canucks Alumni team.

Money raised at the shred-athon will help the charitable society support various charities in town – something that’s become harder to do because of the coronavirus pandemic, Picher said.

“We have been continuing to get requests, although our purse strings are getting a little bit tight because we haven’t been able to run any of these events.We are hoping to do well at this shred-athon,” he said. “Last year we got $6,000 donated to us, and we are just hoping to beat that.”

Round 2 of the #ReDiscoverNewWest campaign is your chance to support local businesses – and possibly win some prizes along the way.

In February, local organizations kicked off a sixweek #ReDiscoverNewWest campaign, which encouraged residents to support local food and beverage businesses as they’d been hard hit by the pandemic.

The next instalment of the campaign is focusing on supporting local businesses.

“New Westminster retail businesses are owned and operated by your neighbours, employ hundreds of locals, drive economic benefits, and provide safe shopping experiences for everyone,” said a press release about the campaign.

“While you are picking up groceries, goods for home and family, or shopping online to get a gift for that special person in your bubble, make shopping local a priority as New Westminster businesses need your support more than ever.”

The Arts Council of New West, the City of New Westminster, the Downtown New West Business Improvement Association, the New West Chamber,Tourism New West and Uptown Business Association have partnered together to promote #ReDiscoverNewWest, an ongoing multi-phase campaign that is encouraging locals to rediscover the incredible hidden gem businesses that are a part of New Westminster.

“Many of our local retail businesses have been hard hit during the pandemic, and through #ReDiscoverNewWest we want to shine the light on what New Westminster

laboration between JAK’s and Okanagan Crush Pad Winery in Summerland, with the Gratitude series being sold exclusively at JAK’s shops in the Lower Mainland, Campbell River and Penticton.The Gratitude wines include: Gratitude 2019 Bubbles; Gratitude 2018 Chardonnay; Gratitude 2019 Rosé; and Gratitude 2019 Red. “The idea behind the Gratitude series is that even during challenging times, we all have something or someone to be grateful for,” said a press release.

OBITUARIES

CRILLY, David Joseph (Davey)

MALCOLM, Doreen June 28,1943 - May 28, 2021 With great sadness we announce the passing of Doreen Malcolm on May 28, 2021 at age 77.

Doreen was born in Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica, training to become a teacher at St. Joseph’s College in Kingston.

She came to Canada in 1970, to further pursue her education and career, obtaining her Master’s degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University in 1985. Doreen contributed so much to the lives of children and colleagues she worked with in the New Westminster School District over many years.

Doreen’s work was very meaningful to her, and she was dedicated to her vocation as school counsellor, she cared deeply and had a natural ability to reach people.

David Joseph Crilly (Davey) of Burnaby, BC passed away peacefully on Monday, May 31st, 2021 at the age of 85.

David was born in Ardoyne Belfast and was predeceased by his parents William and Elizabeth Crilly and his sisters Jean, Rosaleen, Alice and Kate. He is survived by his Wife, Lynda Crilly; children Richard, Daniel and Michelle; grandchildren Andrew, Brendan, Dylan and Dallas; great grandchildren Benjamin, Ella, Caleigh, Nevaeh, Scarlett, Serenity; Brothers, Billy, Charlie, Fergie and Martin.

People wishing to honor David’s love of life, can make donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of British Columbia https://alzheimer.ca/bc/en

Doreen was also much loved, and will be missed so much by all of the Partridge family, who were lucky enough to be part of Doreen’s chosen family in Canada.

There are so many friends who will miss her tremendously.

She will be remembered for her wisdom, intelligence, caring and compassion.

Doreen loved animals, and in remembrance, those who wish to honour her may consider making a donation to the SPCA. https://spca.bc.ca/donate/
