Brace for noise as TransLink starts night work Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It could get a little noisy around two of the city’s SkyTrain stations this month as projects aimed at ensuring the system is safe and reliable for years to come get underway.

NewWestminster city council has granted an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw to allow work to be done at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily from June 11 to 26.The noise exemption will allow Smith Bros.

&Wilson (B.C.) Ltd. to replace the station’s escalators.

A staff report states night shifts will be required to remove the existing escalator and hoist in the new one. Scaffolding assembly work will also be done in the station.

“This work cannot be completed while passengers are moving through the station,” said the report. “TransLink also requires this work to proceed during non-operational hours to assure passengers’ safety.”

According to the report,

the Expo SkyTrain line has carried more than two million trains since it went into service in 1986. Staff say TransLink is making upgrades on 37 escalators in 13 SkyTrain stations along the Expo line, so they’re safe and reliable for years to come.

In addition to using construction methods that help minimize the noise impacts on neighbours, the contractor will also have a nighttime contact person available to respond to any calls from affected residents, said the staff report.

City BUSINESS

Brewery gets its expansion approved Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Steel & Oak Brewing Co. is hoping to put its expansion plan into action in October.

On May 31, city council supported the New Westbased craft brewery’s application for a zoning bylaw text amendment that allows it to increase the number of people allowed in its lounge from 50 to 100. In addition to reconfiguring the interior of its space at 1319 Third Ave., Steel & Oak is also making its outdoor patio permanent.

Jorden Foss, co-owner of Steel & Oak, said the project can’t get underway until it’s approved by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch. He noted that those applications are generally approved if they are endorsed by city council.

“Whether we have approval tomorrow or whether we have approval in a couple of months from now, we are going to hold off on any work, and thus getting the extra occupancy, until October-ish,” he told the Record. “We are generally slow in October.”

While the work is underway, Steel & Oak may have to close its tasting room for a couple of weeks.

“We have to add another washroom.We are going to be removing part of our cold room to make room

Expansion plans: Steel & Oak previously added patio space to help during the pandemic. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

for the extra tasting room space,” Foss explained.

“In an ideal scenario, we wouldn’t shut down.”

Foss said it may be easier to “rip the Band-Aid off so we can get it done quick” and temporarily close the tasting room, but he’s considering all options. If possible, he’d like to find a solution that allows the brewery’s employ-

ees to keep working.

“Maybe it’s a to-go counter or something like that,” he said. “I will exhaust all my options just to make sure people can get a beer from us while construction is happening.”

In a letter to council as part of the application, James Garbutt, coowner of Steel & Oak, said the brewery plans to in-

crease the size of its tasting room to provide more inside seating, space for social distancing and an additional bathroom. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said Steel & Oak had lost 40% of its revenue due to restaurant and bar closures, and recognized the need to shift how it sells its products.

Prior to the pandemic,

Foss said Steel & Oak did a brisk business selling kegs to restaurants and bars, but that has basically dried up and isn’t reopening at the rate they had hoped.

“In order to try and keep everybody employed, especially on the manufacturing side, we really need to shift how we sell beer,” Foss said. “For us, during

this pandemic, it has just reiterated how important New Westminster is to us and how much they support us, and that’s who we need to be making more beer for, and that’s who we need to be supporting, because they support us.”

In response to the pandemic, Steel & Oak built a temporary outdoor patio on Third Avenue – and it’s making that a permanent addition to the business. It’s also adding a new temporary patio on the Levi Street side of the brewery.

Despite stringent COVID policies, cleaning and physical distancing implemented at Steel & Oak, Foss said many people are still more comfortable with outdoor seating. Come fall, when the weather cools off and many people have had their second vaccinations, he suspects folks will be ready to head indoors – and he can’t wait.

“I love the patio, but when it’s pouring outside and there’s music going on inside Steel & Oak, and it’s busy and it’s got a bustle, it feels great,” he said. “It feels like an extension of your living room with all your friends over. I am looking forward to getting back to that. Right now, outside is definitely where it’s at.”

Work is ‘critical’ to the safe movement of trains: TransLink Continued from page 1 At the next stop along the Expo line, work will be taking place to replace track sections around NewWestminster station.

In a notice sent to residents around the station, TransLink stated the BC Rapid Transit Company would be replacing sections in and around that station this month, which would affect the areas

around Plaza 88, Quayside Drive and Columbia Street.

“The work being performed is critical to the safe movement of trains,” said the notice. “This work must be conducted overnight while SkyTrain is not in active service and will result in an increase in construction noise and possibly visual distractions as maintenance crews

gradually work along the line.This will involve intermittent cutting and grinding of steel, diesel-powered work trains and the hoisting and placement of steel, including impact noise.”

The nighttime work around the NewWestminster SkyTrain station is set to take place between 1 and 5 a.m., from now until June 20 and from June 24 to 27.

Last June, many residents around NewWestminster station complained about how noisy SkyTrain had become, with some describing it as deafening and ear-piercing.The noise prompted a resident to launch a Stop Excessive NewWest SkyTrain Noise! petition on change.org.

“Please help me!The eastbound SkyTrain heading into NewWest sta-

tion has become unbearably loud!” read the petition. “We are calling on TransLink and NewWest city council to step up and repair this line ASAP! We’re all home a lot more these days; NewWesters deserve some respite from excessive noise.”

In response to the complaints, the BC Rapid Transit Company reported that rail-grinding

in sections of NewWest, which had been delayed by COVID-19, would get underway and should help alleviate the noise.

The company also noted tracks between 22nd Street and NewWestminster stations would be replaced as part of its maintenance and repair program, which would also help to mitigate noise levels.

ADOPT A STREET TREE

We’re looking for Tree Stewards for the 2021 summer season!

To help reach our goal of increasing the city’s urban forest canopy cover to 27% by 2030, we have a plan to plant up to 500 new street trees per year. If you see a new street tree that was planted near you and want to help it thrive, consider adopting that tree and become a tree steward!

What’s involved?

Simple acts of stewardship go a long way to help our new street trees thrive so we can all enjoy the numerous benefits that a lush urban canopy provides. Help us by watering and weeding your newly adopted tree for the summer season.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

BC Liberals ripped in election report

The BC Liberal Party has released its post-mortem report on why it lost the provincial election so badly last fall and while it draws some obvious conclusions, it misses the bigger picture when it comes to the serious challenges the party faces as it tries to rebuild.

The report – written by three Toronto-based consultants – concludes the party never really stood much of a chance of winning the election. It fails to examine why the party was in so much trouble before the election.

Former party leader Andrew Wilkinson comes in for heavy criticism and is portrayed as someone who comes across as “stilted,” “combative” and “uncomfortable.”When asked to rate his performance on a scale of one to 10 (10 being “perfect”),Wilkinson was awarded an abysmal average of four by those surveyed.

Wilkinson, however, was not deemed the only big problem.The party’s platform was tone deaf and failed to connect with voters and even party members, its communications efforts were clumsy and ineffective, and what little campaigning actually did occur was amateurish and almost pointless.

The central campaign team gets a clean bill of health, which is odd given the enormity of the loss and the fact so many missteps were made.

The report’s authors based their findings on surveys sent to 3,000 party members and interviews with candidates, strategists, senior officials and campaign staff.

The approach of talking to only party insiders and members may have masked the true rot that has slowly eaten its way through the party during the past decade or so.

The party did not just lose the last election – it

was absolutely hammered and the depth of its defeat can be seen in lopsided NDP wins in traditionally strong BC Liberal ridings in places like Vernon, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, North Vancouver and Langley.

This momentous loss had been building for years but the BC Liberals, smug in their feelings of invincibility because they unexpectedly won the 2013 election, simply failed to spot the warning signs until it was too late.

The report is sprinkled with quotes from those who were surveyed or interviewed. Near the end of the report this one jumped out at me: “Seriously take on rebuilding! Don’t be afraid to take on the tough questions and challenges.

Hold our MLAs accountable for their past and present discretions. Clean house, change the mediocre mentality of the old guard.”

Harsh criticism but indicative the massive rebuilding job the party faces.

The report ends with some recommendations about the usual things: attracting younger members, improving the party’s nomination process, finding more volunteers and getting started on the next campaign as soon as possible.

It’s the last paragraph – which reads as if it was tacked on as an afterthought – that nails the party’s deeper problems.

It says the party must be more diverse when it comes to recruiting and “elevating” people from every gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and economic background.

“The province has changed, and so should the BC Liberals,” reads the report’s last line. It is also the most accurate one in it.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should celebs stay out of B.C.’s logging issues?

“Thanks for the support. Old-growth logging needs to stop.”

“Celebrities would be better served getting educated on the issue.”

Taxi driver stiffed on drug loan

The police had little sympathy for a cab driver trying to get a $60 drug loan back from a passenger.The driver had picked up the fare in Burnaby, and the man had asked to borrow $60 for cocaine.The driver obliged and drove him to pick up the drugs. He then took him back to his New West home, but, when they got there, the passenger said he didn’t have any money.

The driver managed to get the $29 fare from the man’s sister but not the drug money. New West police told him to take the man to small claims court.

Letters INBOX

Thanks for standing up for affordable housing

Editor: On behalf of Yes In New West, we would like to thank all of the people who wrote letters and spoke in favour of affordable housing in New Westminster.

With your support, council unanimously approved the Aboriginal Land Trust affordable homes proposal on May 31.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen an outpouring of support for affordable housing.

From sign waving to bike rallies to letters, residents of New Westminster responded in numbers to show that our city is welcoming and inclusive and sees a great need for more affordable homes for more people.

During Monday’s public hearing, the overwhelming majority of speakers said they are in support of affordable housing. The words and stories we heard filled us with pride in our neighbours. How wonderful it is when the community comes together to support affordable housing, and how wonderful it would be to see homes like this welcomed across the city.

Ninety-six Indigenous and Swahili-speaking families will soon be able to call New Westminster home. We know the residents of New West-

minster will be welcoming our new neighbours with open arms and open hearts.

Thank you, New Westminster.

Tammy Dewar, Brad Cavanagh, Elliot Rossiter, Ruby Campbell, Rohan Singh, Maya Russell, Mike Folka and Rick Vugteveen

Our health leaders have shown great patience Editor: Thanks to our leaders Premier John Horgan, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix for their intelligence, patience and tenacity in very daunting circumstances in B.C. Dealing with daily emergencies and longterm challenges in all areas of governance is not an easy job in the best of times. In pandemic times, we appreciate that compassionate, thoughtful and visionary leaders are at the helm.

Not every decision satisfies every citizen; that is the nature of human diversity. I am grateful to follow guidelines for the greater good of all. Being kind, being calm, being safe helps us survive difficult times.

Your leadership is appreciated.

City Day camps offer summer fun for the 50+ crowd Century House is offering a series of two-day camps featuring art, games, speakers and more Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Why should kids get all the fun?

Century House is launching SCAMPs – Summer Camp And Moody Park Seniors – a series of two-day day camps for seniors this summer. SCAMPs will feature a variety of activities, including art, games, speakers, park explorations, special projects and visits by special guests.

“SCAMPS is about re-engaging the 50+ community of New Westminster with creative and active living in the sunshine,” said Rylie McGuire, who is leading the camps. “(It’s) a time to celebrate the reintegration of the community’s physical and emotional wellness and camaraderie among the residents of New Westminster that have been separated during the past year.”

Weekly themes will include textile and fibre arts week, ceramics week and lawn sports week.

Shelly Schnee, they city’s program coordinator for seniors, said the sessions are guaranteed to be fun.

“We have a really fun program leader. He is our pottery instructor, Rylie

McGuire,” she said. “He is putting together some fun things to do this summer.”

Unsure of what provincial health orders would be in place this summer, Schnee thought about activities that could be offered outdoors.

“I just thought maybe we could do some Small group activities in the park. I know as a department we do a lot of day camps for children.

I have always thought it would be cool to do day camps for seniors,” she said. “Basing it in Moody Park just made sense.We have the support of Century House if we need it, but we can set up outside in the back and enjoy the park. Moody Park is such a beautiful park to begin with.”

While it’s anticipated that public health restrictions will continue to ease up in the coming weeks, as the phased BC Restart Plan evolves, some people continue to feel more comfortable socializing outdoors.

“Each day we can enjoy a picnic together. It’s 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so it’s nice to do something in the morning, break for lunch and then do something in the afternoon. It’s a pretty easy pace,” Schnee said. “We have a place in the park behind Century House where there is a couple of

News ‘Seamless’ child-care pilot set for fall at Qayqayt Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district will pilot a new “seamless day” child-care program at École Qayqayt Elementary School this fall.

The program will have space for 12 kindergarten students.

The seamless day model is one being piloted in school districts around B.C. Under the program, child care is integrated directly into the classroom, with early childhood educators who care for children before and after class and who work alongside the teacher during the day.

Tanis Anderson, the district’s vice-principal for early learning, said Qayqayt, which has more

than 120 students registered for kindergarten in the fall, is a perfect site for the program.

She admitted the project is somewhat more complex than anticipated, noting the school district must follow all the same steps as anyone opening a childcare centre – business licensing, fire inspection and the like. But she said it’s a “beautiful model” of care for kindergarten students, who will have extra support from the ECE workers as well as their classroom teacher.

The 12 spaces are being offered on top of the 20 to 24 spaces already provided at Qayqayt by the Westminster Children’s After School Society, which runs child-care centres at district schools.

The district is also making preparations for more child-care spaces at three other elementary schools, which it hopes to have operational by September: Ð Connaught Heights Elementary School: 17 new before-and-after-school child-care spaces will be offered in the school’s StrongStart room. Ð F.W. Howay Elementary School:The district is adding 30 new child-care spaces, on top of the 17 existing spaces, using the school gym. Ð École Herbert Spencer Elementary:Westminster Children’s After School Society is working on an application to open a before-and-after-school care centre using the school gym. It’s awaiting licensing approval.

Douglas College honours Chief Rhonda Larrabee

Qayqayt First Nation Chief Rhonda Larrabee has been awarded Douglas College’s highest honour.

The college has named Chief Larrabee an honorary fellow, a June 10 media release announced.

“Chief Larrabee’s dedication to the preservation of her Indigenous heritage is truly inspirational. She has contributed so much to Douglas College over the years, generously sharing her knowledge with Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members to build awareness of Indigenous culture and history, and to support Indigenous students in the pursuit of their education,” said Kathy Denton, president of Douglas College, in the media release. “Chief Larrabee has earned our deepest respect, and we are grateful to her for her wisdom, commitment and friendship.”

As she shares her story, Chief Larrabee didn’t know about her Indigenous background until adulthood. She was told she was of Chinese and French descent, when in fact her mother was part of one of the last Indigenous families to live on the former NewWestminster reserve. She became the first documented member of the NewWestminster Indian Band in 1994.

The band, now known as the Qayqayt First Na-

tion, is now a community of nearly 100 documented members.

“Chief Larrabee has overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges through sheer willpower and her passion to learn and discover,” said Dave Seaweed, Indigenous student services coordinator at Douglas College, who nominated her for honorary fellow. “She models perseverance, determination and embodies the vision we set for students at the college.”

In 2003, the National Film Board released a film called A Tribe of One that follows Chief Larrabee’s journey discovering her Indigenous heritage and the history of the reserves in NewWestminster.

Chief Larrabee continues to actively work in the community as a member of the Aboriginal education advisory committee of

School District 40 and the Aboriginal advisory committee at Douglas College.

As a direct result of her guidance and advocacy, the Qayqayt First Nation is now recognized by all levels of government and the Assembly of First Nations.

“The history of Qayqayt First Nation was unknown for many years and is a sad story.We have worked tirelessly for many decades to ensure the legacy of our ancestors will live on for many generations,” Chief Larrabee said in the release. “Douglas College has always been a space that is respectful, supportive and generous and displays our story at its Aboriginal Gathering Place at the NewWestminster campus. I am grateful to be named the June 2021 honorary fellow and to be given the opportunity to continue to share our story.”

Massey Theatre gets set for a return to live performance Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

“Massey Theatre announces 2021/22 season.”

The words would seem ordinary enough if you

hadn’t been on the rollercoaster ride that was – and is – the COVID-19 pandemic.

The upcoming season at New Westminster’s iconic theatre is bursting

My thoughts were often crazy, my beliefs may have been strange to some, my plans were more often than not well outside the box. But what was never in doubt was that the community remained strong and supported me through it all. People say that I was The Heritage Grill. I disagree. Every performer, customer and staff member who walked through the door made The Heritage Grill what it was. My love and gratitude for each and everyone of you will never die.

The response this community has given me over the last few weeks has been overwhelming. I am stunned when people say that I created a place full of spirit, hope and energy. A landmark that i had no intention of letting go of. Quite the opposite. But fate dealt me the cruelest of blows in the early hours of that morning. Almost 16 years after the first day I opened the doors, the doors will sadly never be opened again. My dream lasted 16 years. I am the lucky one. Many people never get to have a dream come true.

Hello my dear friends. As you can imagine the last few weeks have been a nightmare that i never imagined would come true. I of course am riding the roller coaster of emotions. Grief, devotion, positivity, ups and downs, body shaking, tears, hope and despair to name only a few.

I was born in India and when I moved to Canada as a young child to Vernon, I could never have imagined that I would have met so many amazing people. People who have touched my heart with their friendship, advice and companionship. A great many of those people are still a major part of my life today living here in the great city of New Westminster. I often think to myself when the time comes for my rebirth, I can only hope that i am destined to live my next life in this amazing community based city of New Westminster.

Like so many others, I stood in front of the old Army & Navy on May 24 watching in disbelief. Watching brave responders from the City of New Westminster and the City of Coquitlam risk their lives and doing their absolute best to try and save whatever was going to be left. My dream that came true on May 28th, 2005. My dream was an all inclusive live entertainment venue. I struggled, my word did I struggle! I went through so many unimaginable setbacks, but still my goal was always to provide the communities of New West and beyond somewhere to go where they could just be themselves, meet new friends and have some fun. From live music, Poetic Justice, Drag Shows, GIN nights, Burlesque shows, Ukulele Club, Life Drawing, Philosopher’s Café, Paint Nights, Plant Nights, Comedy Nights, Open Mic Nights and so many more other events to mention.

Just when i thought I had no emotions left in the tank, my staff told me something about a GoFundMe page and now I find myself absolutely blown away yet again.

People are telling me that this is the community repaying me for all the many wonderful years of memories that i gave them. Of course, I see things very differently. YOU have enriched MY life beyond anything i could ever have imagined. To the countless number of people and local businesses that came forward in so many ways to stand by me for the fundraiser, I am out of words - but a massive THANK YOU to each and every single one of you. I believe that even in the darkest of times, light will always find a way to shine through and giving back to others will always be the most fulfilling course of action.

I have lost the Heritage, but Begbie’s has re-opened.

Again, I am one of the lucky ones. Three other business owners have lost everything and my thoughts are with them as they deal with their own devastating situations.

All that I really have left to say is one more massive THANK YOU to everyone. You will all be in my memories forever. I will see you all again soon and look forward to the post COVID times when we can gather safely and share lots more memories and even some hugs.

News Queen Elizabeth school gets funding for $20M expansion Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

A long-awaited expansion at Queen Elizabeth Elementary School is now on the horizon.

The NewWestminster school district will receive $20.1 million to build 13 new classrooms and childcare space at the school, the B.C. government announced June 10.The

325-student expansion will replace the seven portables that currently occupy the school grounds.

The NewWestminster school district will pitch in an additional $250,000.

The Queen Elizabeth expansion had topped the district’s capital project priority list in 2018, when the district had pegged the cost at about $18 million.

With last week’s funding

announcement, construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2022, with the expansion completed in early 2024.

“Our board and district has been working towards this project for some time, to meet the growing needs of the families who depend on our schools.We’re excited to see this announcement that will do so much for the Queensborough

community,” said board chair Gurveen Dhaliwal.

Dhaliwal said the inclusion of neighbourhood learning centre space for child care will play a vital role in helping the district to support parents.

“This is such an important investment in our community: one that reflects and responds to some of the significant needs of our growing dis-

trict and their families,” she said in a government press release.

Bernadette Gourlay, president of the Queen Elizabeth Elementary parent advisory council, extended her appreciation to everyone who advocated to help get the students out of portables and into a school building.

“The expansion means a lot to the families of our

growing community, and we look forward to participating in the process,” she said in the release.

Throughout the coming 2021/22 school year, portables will be moved to make way for construction.The district will also prepare the necessary design and construction documentation to get the project ready to tender for construction.

Community Second World War spy celebrates 100th birthday Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tm mcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Birthday greetings to longtime New West resident Eileen Glavin, who became a centenarian on June 16.

Glavin, who was born and raised in England, moved to Canada in 1957.

She raised her four sons in Burnaby before moving to New West many years ago.

A 2015 feature in the Record highlighted Glavin’s experience of working at a “listening station” in England during the Second World War. “I was a spy,” she told the Record at the time.

“I was listening in to the German messages. I even got some from the German High Command, you

know.We were able to intercept their messages, too.

That was something.”

Sworn to secrecy under the Official Secrets Act, Glavin couldn’t even share any information about her work with her parents, who thought she was working as a typist.

You can read our 2015 profile about Glavin at tinyurl.com/RecordSpy.

News What’s with police in schools? Here’s what lies ahead Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Police liaison officers are no longer a part of NewWestminster schools, but that hasn’t ended the school district’s relationship with the NWPD. How exactly the two parties will work together going forward, however, is still a work in progress.

NewWestminster school trustees voted April 27 to end the child and youth liaison program in schools and to have the district revamp its relationship with the NewWestminster Police Department. At the June 8 education committee meeting, trustees heard an update on that work.

Some highlights: WHAT INFORMATION DID THE SCHOOL BOARD USE TO MAKE ITS DECISION? Trustee Maya Russell, who chairs the education committee, noted the board has heard some disappointment about the fact that it made the decision to cancel the liaison officer program without

finishing a public engagement process and without making public the results of a parent survey.

She said the survey results will be made available.

“I can tell you that the results of that survey, they were strongly in favour of keeping the program,” she said. “The survey, unfortunately, presented significant bias in favour of the status quo, and it did not, in my view, provide new insights to add to the discussion.We know that the majority of people are not negatively impacted by police, so to survey everyone for their views without adequate context allows a majority view to dominate.”

Russell said, in her view, the board had more than enough information to make its decision, especially given the “wealth of academic research” that is available regarding the impact of police in schools on BIPOC communities.

Parent Linda Tobias questioned whether the board had relied on em-

pirical data based on complaints against the New Westminster Police Department.

Russell said the decision was based on research done globally, not as a reflection of the NWPD. WILL POLICE OFFICERS STILL REMAIN INVOLVED IN SCHOOLS? Rav Johal, district principal for equity and inclusion, said some aspects of policing will always be required in schools. He said developing a new relationship with the NWPD will focus on communication protocols, points of contact and training for emergency procedures (critical incidents, lockdowns and violent-threat risk assessments).

The school district is also working on a process for referrals to the police gang prevention unit.

“It is intended to be a voluntary program available to support students and families who self-identify as needing help or (who) liaise with school staff and want some sup-

port,” Johal noted.

WHAT ABOUT POLICE INFO SESSIONS? In the past, police officers have provided presentations to students on a number of topics, including personal well-being, dating violence, drug education and more.

Trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal suggested the district should set out parameters for which sessions are most appropriate coming from police officers and which might be better offered by another community agency.

Johal said the district has an extensive list of community partners who can help.

“It is part of our work to ensure that we are engaging all of our community partners and identifying who might be the best voice to come in and speak with our students,” he said.

The district is proposing that all requests for presentations be funnelled through the safe schools coordinator (one of Johal’s

roles).The police board also needs to look at the protocols around such requests before the issue returns to the school board.

WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS’ RELATIONSHIP WITH POLICE OFFICERS? Parent Linda Tobias asked trustees how they will ensure that students develop a sense of safety around police officers.

“I was a refugee to Canada, and I was terrified of police because in my home country, police made people disappear; they took bribes; they were not the good guys, unlike here,” she said. “Of course NewWest PD very much are here to protect all children.”

She asked trustees how the school district will empower children to feel safe going to police when they need help.

Johal said that in the case of “significant safety or wellness concerns,” schools will still be liaising with police via 911 or the non-emergency line.

As far as developing stu-

dent trust in police, Johal said those are “ongoing conversations” the district will continue to have with students and parents.

He said the district wants families to know about the support that’s available not just from police but from other community agencies as well.

“We want students to have trusted adults that they can follow up and touch base with,” he said.

Russell questioned what role schools should play in nurturing a relationship between students and police.

“It’s clearly very important work of policing, to make sure that children and young people are comfortable bringing forward issues to the police, but I think what we’re grappling with is where’s the role as educators,” she said. “What we do know is relationships with trusted adults are incredibly important, and we want in our schools to be fostering, ideally, several strong relationships with trusted adults.”

PET PROFILE

OF THE WEEK

SOPHIE (15+ YRS OLD)

!

D E T P O D

Sophie is a newly diagnosed diabetic cat who also has early kidney disease. She is the easiest cat to handle, very sweet and never gets upset despite the poking and prodding. Sophie is on a veterinary prescription food, which she enjoys. She requires insulin twice a day, and while her blood glucose has levelled out nicely, she will require testing periodically to make sure the diabetes is being managed properly. This can be done at home but of course, she will also need check-ups with the veterinarian. Her new home should be prepared for the extra time and financial responsibility a diabetic cat requires. Her kidney disease is not at the stage where she requires any special treatment but as it is progressive, she will need treatment in the future (fluids, supplements, etc.).

Sass Jordan is a very shy, nervous girl. She will need a patient, loving home. She loves her greens, hay, and pellets. Once she gets to a more healthy weight, she will need less pellets.

A

Sass is housed with Joan Jett, and we are definitely l ooking for a home that will adopt them as a pair. They get a lot of comfort from each other. The veterinarian estimated Joan as 2 years old, and Sass as 4 years old, so it’s possible that Sass is Joan’s mother. Joan is the white/dark brown rabbit, and Sass is the white/black rabbit.

THIS PET IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Rabbits are very social creatures and do need more attention and space than most people think. Sass is not yet 100% litter-trained, but we have seen a big improvement since she arrived.

JAIMIE McEVOY

Sass is approximately 4 years old, and we believe she is an English Spot. She has been examined by a veterinarian, has been RHDV2 vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.

The adoption fee is $75 for the pair of bonded rabbits.

New Westminster City Councillor

GUS, MAC & DWIGHT (5 MONTHS OLD)

Meet Gus, Mac, and Dwight! They are approximately 5 months old now, and they are BIG boys! The individual photos are of them as wee babies. Gus is the adorable blue rex boy. Mac is the handsome redeyed white boy. Dwight is the cute blue rex boy with the white blaze on his forehead. The three boys are happy and healthy, although they are a bit shy. They love their caregiver very much, and always come out of their hammock when she calls their names. They love hanging out in their rat-sack and giving her little licks and nibbles. Ideally, we would love them to go to a home with rat experience. We are adopting them out together as they are very bonded with each other.

All three boys are currently being treated for upper respiratory infection. It can become a chronic condition, but we’re hoping to avoid that. Many rats do have to deal with this condition, but to be safe, the boys should not be adopted into a home with resident rats, unless those rats have already been exposed. The adoption fee for the trio is $15.

Little Pirate came in as a stray. He was found in a popular park by a kind woman. The staff at a nearby dragon boat shop looked after him until we picked him up. He is a very social little fellow and likes to ride around on shoulders.

He seems happy getting to know his roommate, Hyack.

A

Hyack, the handsome fellow was found outside the woodshop at New West Secondary. With some rest, good food, and TLC, he has got a jump in his step again. He is a bit nervous so would benefit from an understanding, patient, experienced budgie home. He is not hand-tame and if he is pushed past his comfort zone, he may nip. He took a quick liking to his new budgie neighbor “Pirate”. We would love to find them a home together as they instantly bonded.

BEAUPRE, Julia Piri February 27, 1924 - May 26, 2021 Julia (Julie) Beaupre (Sviatko) died peacefully at RCH in New Westminster on May 26th at the age of 97. Julie is survived by her 3 daughters Denise (Bob), Karen (Colin), Julie (Mike) and son Robert, 10 Grandchildren, 8 Great-Grandchildren, brother Steve Sviatko, sister-in-law Irene Sviatko, and many nieces, nephews, and their families.

Julie is predeceased by her husband and only true love Wilfrid Beaupre, parents Steve & Julianna Sviatko, sisters Maryann McDonald & Ethel Sviatko and brother William Sviatko.

The eldest of 5, Julie was born in Hungary and at age 6 immigrated to Canada, where the family settled in New Westminster. She eventually met her sweetheart Wilf and they married in 1947, over time welcoming 4 children. Sadly, Wilf passed unexpectedly on June 5, 1965 and Julie would carry on raising their children on her own. She was an entrepreneur, opening a women’s clothing store in Sapperton (Chez Beaupre Fashions), then a medical office clerk, retiring from George Derby Centre in 1989.

Julie spent many wonderful retirement years with her dog Coco and many grandchildren at Leisure Park in Birch Bay, her little piece of heaven on earth. She was an active member of St. Peter’s Parish, the CWL, and Young at Heart Club. She generously knitted scarves and donated comfort kits to various recovery homes and shelters. Julie was famous for her cooking, especially dumplings, breaded fried chicken, and the ability to make delicious soup out of anything.

NADASDY, Roza 1938 - 2021 It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of our beloved anyu (mother), nagymama (grandmother), aunt and sister-in-law. She is survived by her loving children Vince and Rose and their spouses and children; her sisters-in-law Maria, Eva, Emerencia, her brother-in-law Sandor, and all of her extended family and friends worldwide. Roza was preceded in death by her loving husband of 49 years, Vince. Her fabulous Hungarian cuisine brought us together throughout the years for many celebrations and family gatherings.

The memory of her will be enduring and her loss will be mourned by all who knew her.

A public visitation will be held at Bell & Burnaby Funeral Chapel, Friday, June 18th between 11am-1pm.
