New pool name gets unveiled Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster’s future aquatic and community centre has been named after an animal that often conjures up images of playfulness and joyfulness.

At Monday night’s council meeting, Qayqayt First Nation Chief Rhonda Larrabee announced the new facility would be named təməsew̓ txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, a hən̓ q̓ əmin̓ əm̓ word for “Sea Otter House.”

According to the city, təməsew̓ txʷ is a combination of two words: “təməs” which means sea otter; and “ew̓ txʷ” which means house.

The name was selected by a naming advisory panel, whose members included representatives from the Spirit of the Children Society and the Qayqayt, q̓ ʷa:̩n̓ ƛən̓ (Kwantlen First Nation), xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation).

Larrabee said Indigenous cultural organizations and local First Nations Continued on page 3

City

Committee stalls private liquor store plans

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The city’s land use and planning committee has downed liquor store applications in the West End and Connaught Heights neighbourhoods.

At its June 21 meeting, the committee received staff reports about two proposed private liquor stores – one that would be located on 12th Street between Eighth and 10th avenues, and another that would be at 810 and 810A 20th St. Council members serving on the LUPC said it’s too early to consider the applications given that work on the upper 12th Street retail strategy and the 22nd Street master plan hasn’t been completed.

According to city staff, there are currently 11 private retail liquor stores and two BC Liquor Stores in New Westminster.

Dilys Huang, a development planner with the city, said analysis done by staff shows that of all Metro Vancouver municipalities having a population of 50,000 or more people, New Westminster has the highest number of liquor stores per capita.

“Out of all the other Metro Vancouver municipalities, the only ones that have higher rate than New Westminster, there’s only two – Bowen Island and Pitt Meadows,” she said. “New Westminster is ranked third in terms

of the number of liquor stores on a per capita basis.”

Those statistics, however, came near the end of discussions about two private liquor stores being proposed in New West and weren’t cited by LUPC members as reasons for not supporting the applications at this time.

12TH STREET For the 12th Street project, staff sought LUPC feedback on potential amendments to the official community plan and the zoning bylaw, which would be required to allow a retail liquor store to open at a yet-to-determined location in the upper 12th Street area.The committee supported a recommendation to direct staff to discourage further consideration of a retail liquor store in the upper 12th Street area.

A staff report said some of the points in favour of the proposal include the potential of attracting more businesses to the area and occupying a vacant commercial space.

On the negative side, staff said a retail liquor store is proposed at a nearby location in Burnaby, which would limit the properties that could be considered because of the one-kilometre buffer requirement between liquor stores. Staff also stressed that work on the Upper 12th Street retail strategy isn’t compete.

“Staff would consider this proposal to be premature given that the retail strategy work is still ongoing,” Huang said. “After the completion of this strategy, it is anticipated that there would be more clarity regarding council’s as well as the community’s vision for this upper 12th Street area.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, one of three council members on the LUPC, said the community was “very, very vocal” about not wanting a privately owned liquor store on 12th Street.When a previous application was made for a store in the 700 block of 12th Street in 2008, he said many concerns were raised about the proximity to nearby schools.

“We have numerous liquor stores in New West-

minster,” he said. “We have both government and private. I feel strongly that we are well served by the liquor distribution system in the province.”

Puchmayr supports public liquor stores, saying they provide better wages for employees and stronger enforcement of sales to minors. He also expressed concern about the fact that no specific location had been secured for the store.

Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services, said no particular site was identified, because staff wanted to take the proposal to a “political body” early and ask if it’s something that would even be considered.

Coun. Nadine Nakagawa also opposed consideration of a liquor store on upper 12th Street at this time.

“We have had some conversations about upper 12th, that we want to see a preservation of the multicultural businesses in that area,” she said. “While I recognize the pros, that it might attract businesses to that area, we are also very sensitive to gentrification and reno- or demovictions of the businesses in that neighbourhood.

I think I would prefer to wait for the retail strategy and know how we are going to go about maintaining those retail stores that serve very particular communities.”

20TH STREET The committee also voiced concerns about a proposed retail liquor store on 20th Street.That property, located on the northeast corner of 20th Street and Eighth Avenue, is in-

cluded in the 22nd Street station area, where council has endorsed a master planning process to create a “bold vision for a climate-friendly future.”

A preliminary report stated that process isn’t complete, and it’s the city’s expectation that rezoning applications would only be considered once the “bold vision work” and a master plan is completed.

Huang said the applicant is proposing to relocate an existing retail store licence from outside of New Westminster to this site.

Nakagawa was willing to allow the rezoning application to move forward.

“I hear my colleagues’ concerns that these are not relocations of liquor stores in New West but are new additions to liquor stores in New West,” she said. “I think that’s a really good question of whether or not we want or need more liquor stores in New West in general. My reason for not supporting the 12th Street one for consideration does not apply to 20th Street in the same way. For that reason, I would support it going forward for consideration.”

In the end, Puchmayr and Das voted to instruct staff not to proceed with the application, while Nakagawa voted against their motion.

Centre’s name ‘represents spirit of playfulness’

Continued from page 1 worked together, sharing their personal histories of the area.

“The name that the panel has chosen represents the spirit of playfulness, joyfulness and relates to the fun, laughter and happiness that the residents will find at the new aquatic community centre,” she said. “It is the name of a mammal that can be seen on the Fraser

River. I have seen videos of them frolicking on the log booms. I’m also reminded of the cheekiness of one who was feasting on the koi fish at the Dr. SunYat-Sen Garden in Vancouver.Yes, it is the otter.”

Steve Kellock, the city’s senior manager of recreation services, said it’s been nearly two years since city council directed staff to begin a process to

engage with urban Indigenous peoples and First Nations to develop a proposed name for the new facility.

He noted previous feedback had suggested that building language into the future facility would be a meaningful way to help the city on some of its goals for reconciliation.

Larrabee said the group is proud of the name that’s been selected for the facil-

ity, which will replace the Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre.

She hopes it helps the community learn that Indigenous people had their our own languages, customs and values, which served them well for thousands of years.

Mayor Jonathan Cote believes the city has landed on a good name for the new facility and

feels it’s a name the community will support.

“As you mention, Chief Larrabee, there are generations and generations of past languages on these lands that sadly over the last couple of hundred years have been displaced.

Here we have an opportunity with a beautiful new facility in the community that will serve residents and many people outside of the community, to not

only connect with the facility but also the Indigenous language behind the name,” he said.

“When I heard about the Sea Otter House, I couldn’t have thought of something more fitting for the aquatic centre because no doubt this is going to be a centre for play, community and activity.To me, a better name couldn’t be found.”

City Fireworks, festivities off the table for Canada Day With the somber events of the past month in mind, the city will mark July 1 as a day of reflection Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Instead of fireworks and festive celebrations, Canada Day is being planned as a day of reflection in NewWestminster.

On Monday, council received a report from the Canada Day planning committee. Staff said the city’s program for July 1 has been updated to acknowledge the current times being faced by the city and the country, in light of the recent discovery of 215 children buried at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, the killing of a Muslim family in Ontario, and the city’s ongoing work to address diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.

This year’s Canada Day won’t include a big cel-

ebration at the Queen’s Park bandshell or fireworks on the waterfront.

Instead, city programming focuses on activities related to food (such as a farmers’ market, food truck drive-thru and meal offerings), movement (including an interpretive walk in Queen’s Park, family yoga, juggling and circus arts) and creativity (a found objects collage, family activity kits).

Full details of all the events can be found at www.newwestcity.ca/ canada-day-2021.

This year’s Canada Day program also includes a medicine wheel healing and teaching, presented by the Spirit of the Children Society, in memory of the 215 children.

And instead of the traditional red for Canada Day,

the city is encouraging community members to wear orange ribbons and orange T-shirts.

COUNCIL REACTION Some council members don’t feel the city has gone far enough to rethink Canada Day. One of those was Coun.

Mary Trentadue.

Council unanimously approved a motion by Trentadue to have staff review all city events and recognized holidays and report back to council with options for decolonizing city events and including more diverse and cultural holidays to be recognized and celebrated in the city.The motion states the review should consider history, diversity, cultural implications and inclusion, and the review should include city events, holiday

transform Canada Day. “We are going to transform it even better in 2022, and we are going to transform it in 2023 and 2024 to reflect the kind of community that we want to be,” he said. “We have a task force that is focused on these issues, which is working on taking a longterm view of core change in our community, so that we don’t have to do it with ad-hoc measures or responding with what is on the news.”

He said future change needs to be done “carefully and thoughtfully.”

“I am happy with the changes to Canada Day that have occurred. I won’t argue that it’s adequate, but I will argue that it sets us on the right direction for what might eventually become adequate.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

This doctor really saved the day

B.C. has so far beat back the worst outcomes associated with the Delta variant of COVID-19.

The root of this success can be traced back to a presentation given in January by a top official from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, the epidemiology lead of emerging respiratory pathogens at the BCCDC, initiated an internal debate in B.C. public health about how long the interval should be between two doses of a vaccine.

Faced with low amounts of vaccine doses and an uncertain supply schedule, Skowronski made the case that lengthening the interval would mean more people would get the first dose – and get it much sooner – than if the interval were shorter.The first dose would also provide a high level of protection, so there was no risk to moving to a longer interval.

After weeks of discussion, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced on March 1 that B.C. would move to a 16-week interval, a much -longer period than the three-to-seven weeks recommended by Pfizer and Moderna.

Why was Skowronski’s work so important? By adopting her recommendation, B.C. was able to vaccinate far more young people over a shorter period of time than did most other jurisdictions, notably the U.K. This was critical because in the U.K. the Delta variant is infecting people under the age of 30 at a greater rate than other age groups (as has been the case with COVID-19 generally throughout the pandemic) and it is putting people in hospital at a higher rate than was associated with standard COVID-19.

At this point, the Delta variant is showing up in B.C., but not in

large numbers.There is no evidence it is wreaking anywhere near the havoc it is inflicting on the U.K., where it has grown by 80% in the past week, while B.C.’s daily COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are in decline.

The latest updates from the BCCDC show the Delta variant has actually declined in numbers when it comes to proportionality with other variants of concern.

Make no mistake: the Delta variant remains a danger and could indeed spike in number as we ease public health restrictions.The number of COVID-19 cases among people in their 20s may well increase because they are the most social age group with more personal contacts.

In addition, our approved vaccines are not as effective against the Delta variant unless two doses are administered.

The flip side to vaccinating so many people so quickly with one dose, of course, is that we have relatively fewer people with two doses.

It is also important to remember that more than 500,000 people aged 18 to 29 in B.C. have received at least one dose of vaccine, a vaccination rate of about 68%. In the U.K., the number of people in the same age group who have received at least one dose has barely exceeded 25%.

Back at the beginning of the vaccine rollout, it was projected people in their 20s would get their first dose in late July. Because of the longer interval between doses, and a large increase in vaccine supply, they were able to get their first jab in late April.

As a result, we have so far avoided the U.K. experience with the Delta varian – thanks in no small part to Skowronski.

Speak up on racism

Cyclists treated unfairly

Editor: I was at Lower Hume Park recently when I witnessed a blatantly racist incident.

A number of Black families had set up in the picnic shelter and were enjoying a meal when a white lady rushed in.

She rudely demanded that they pack up and leave immediately, and to not forget to clean up after themselves.

She pointed to a small posted sign (easily overlooked) as evidence that she had booked the shelter. As she loaded in her party supplies, she continued to berate them in an attempt to hurry them along.

When they tried to relocate their party to the grass outside the shelter, she claimed that her rental also included all the space to the baseball diamond.

I know that if their skin colour was the same as hers (and mine), she would not have treated them this way.

I was so appalled, frankly, that I approached the group and apologized for her disgusting behaviour.

This kind of behaviour is not welcome in this city (or this country), and it’s time people spoke up.

Lisa Sale, New Westminster

Editor: I am a senior citizen. I can no longer walk because of chronic knee pain. I find that cycling does not bother my knees, so I ride my bicycle everywhere.

I also ride along the Quay waterfront almost every day. I ride slowly and respectfully. The beauty of the Fraser River and fragrance of the flower gardens are very soothing.

I would like to bring to your attention a decision that has been made by the City of New Westminster to outlaw cycling at the Quay waterfront. Cyclists are now forced to walk their bikes or use Quayside Drive, bypassing the waterfront.

This decision has created a lot of animosities, and, as I continue to ride my bike slowly and respectfully along the Quay, I am harassed by people all the time.

Some of these people get very angry, and I fear could become violent. My concern is that someone is going to get hurt.

Why can’t we do what Vancouver does in Stanley Park? Paint a line down the middle of the walkway. Cyclists on one side and pedestrians on the other side. Plus pedestrians also have the waterfront boardwalk.

City MP takes aim at display and sale of hate symbols Bill would ban the sale of emblems such as Nazi swastikas, KKK insignia and Confederate flags Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian is seeking support from Canadian cities for initiatives aimed at combating hate.

Julian is writing to municipalities across the country to seek an endorsement of his House of Commons motion M-84, which is related to anti-hate crimes and incidents. He’s also seeking their support for his private member’s bill C-313 on banning symbols of hate.

“We are living in an unprecedented time,” he said in a letter to municipalities. “The killing of George Floyd in the U.S., and the deaths of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a 29-year-old Indigenous-Ukrainian-Black Canadian woman, occurred in Toronto, and Chantel Moore, an Indigenous Canadian woman, was shot and killed by Edmundston police, New Brunswick police, who were called to perform a wellness check – were results of systemic racism.”

On June 17, Julian tabled Bill C-313 – an act to amend the Criminal Code (banning symbols of hate) in the House of Commons. It would broaden

provisions in the Criminal Code relating to hate propaganda, by making it an offence to publicly display visual representations that promote or incite hatred or violence against an identifiable group.

Bill C-313 states it’s in the interest of all Canadians to prevent the display or sale of symbols or emblems such as the Nazi swastika and the Ku Klux Klan’s insignia.

Other items that would be banned would include flags, such as the one used in Germany from 1933 to 1945 and those of the Confederate States of America between 1861 and 1865.

Uniforms, including the German and Confederate States of America military dress of those periods, would also be banned, as would the hoods and robes of the Ku Klux Klan.

The preamble to Bill C-313 states Parliament recognizes the importance of preventing all forms of hatred or violence against any group that is distinguished by colour, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability.

Banning symbols of hatred, like swastikas or the

Ku Klux Klan insignia, is important for all Canadians to feel safe, Julian said.

“Everyone has the right to feel welcomed and respected in their community. Allowing these symbols of hatred to be sold in stores or publicly displayed is re-traumatizing for people who have been, and continue to be, targets of violence and oppression,” he said. “Symbols that have been used to incite violence against people have no place in our society.We all need to work together to ensure organized hate groups aren’t normalized or tolerated in any way.”

Although Julian tabled his bill on June 17, it’s been in the works for months and has included consultation with anti-hate groups, lawyers and “legislation drafters” in the House of Commons.

“In Germany, Nazi symbols are only used in terms of public education.

There are exceptions when it comes to public education about the appalling brutality of the Nazi regime.That’s where, in places like Auschwitz and other places in Europe, people can be educated to the incredible brutality,” he told the Record last fall. “I find our schools are doing a good job in

educating the kids about what it represents. I think the vast majority of people in our community want to see something like that governed, so the only usage really is public education so that people can understand how horrific this brutal, brutal philosophy and regime was.”

Julian said Bill C-313 is another tool designed to address the growing violence and hatred in Canadian communities.

“Everyone deserves to live in safety and dignity.

It isn’t enough for governments to acknowledge the problem and not take the necessary action to counteract these troubling facts,” he said. “There is

no good reason for a store to profit from selling symbols that glamorize swastikas. Canada doesn’t need to be a place where someone can promote or support that history of genocide. I hope the government will support this bill and work with us to make our communities better for everyone.”

Islamophobia, antiSemitism, homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny are on the rise, Julian said “During the pandemic, incidents of racism reported to police rose at alarming rates,” he said in a news release. “InVancouver, police have reported that hate crimes in-

creased by over 700% in 2020.The Toronto Police have reported that anti-Asian hate crimes have risen 500% in the same period.

Many other police agencies have reported similar increases leaving cities across the country struggling to address this reality.”

In his letter to municipalities, Julian said the recent killing of a Muslim family in London, Ont. was yet another reminder of hate and Islamophobia in Canada.

“We must take a strong stance against all forms of hate and racism against Black, Indigenous, people of colour and racialized communities,” he wrote.

City Noise exemption OK’d for downtown concrete pour Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Urban One Builders will be pouring 1,200 cubic metres of concrete for the foundation of the future 618 Carnarvon building.

And just how much concrete is that?

It’s enough that Urban One Builders applied for an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw in order to do the concrete pour for the building’s foundation.The city’s bylaw only permits construction between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturdays, but the variance will allow work to be done between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. this Saturday, June 26.

According to a staff report, Urban One Builders anticipates the concrete pour will be completed by

7 p.m., but it would like some extra time to complete the finishing touches on the poured concrete and to erect fencing around the work site.

In addition to the construction noise variance, the work requires a section of Carnarvon Street, between McKenzie and Sixth streets, to be closed while the work is taking place.The staff report stated the road closure is expected to impact nearby residents and several commercial tenants, who are being notified of the work.

The work will go ahead regardless of weather, the report said.

At its June 7 meeting, council approved an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw to allow Urban One Builders to do the concrete pour at

618 Carnarvon St. In January 2018, city council supported a plan to build a 33-storey, mixed-use highrise development at the corner of Sixth and Carnarvon/ Clarkson streets.

The project includes 262 residential units, about 5,000-squarefeet of at-grade commercial space, a 1,000-squarefoot pocket park at the corner of Sixth and Clarkson streets, and 13 townhouse units and parking built atop the SkyTrain guideway, which will be enclosed in the vicinity of the project.

Construction of the development is underway, and completion is anticipated between December 2022 and March 2023.

Community SPOTLIGHT ON: NEW WEST MUSEUM WHAT’S HAPPENING? Indigenous languages are featured in a new travelling exhibition at the New Westminster Museum in Anvil Centre.

You might find yourself expanding your vocabulary – and your appreciation for the state of Indigenous languages spoken in B.C. – after visiting the museum to view the Our Living Languages: First Peoples’ Voices in BC travelling exhibition. It’s running until July 29.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Visitors can learn what First Nations communities throughout the province are doing to help 34 different languages survive and flourish. The museum states that Our Living Languages is a beautifully designed exhibition from the Royal B.C. Museum and First Peoples’ Cultural Council that celebrates the resilience and diversity of Indigenous languages in the face of change.

“With the recent naming announcement of a new school in our city, our community is becoming increasingly aware of the living Indigenous relationships attached to the land we now call New Westminster,” said Rob McCul-

lough, the city’s museums and heritage services manager. “This exhibition helps provide context to these names by presenting the distinct identities of our First Nations neighbours relative to the lands on which we live, work and play.”

WHY DOES LANGUAGE MATTER? “Languages, especially the languages we grow up with, are powerful and potent markers of identity and culture,” states a press release from the city. “B.C., one of the planet’s most linguistically diverse regions, is known as a linguistic ‘hotspot’ because of the diversity and vitality of the First Nations languages in B.C.” Through interactive stations, video and audio, Our Living Languages provides visitors with the opportunity to learn more about the history of disrupted languages in B.C., the complexity of these languages, and the people – and entire communities – that are working tirelessly to document and revitalize them.

The original exhibition of the same name was developed in partnership with the First Peoples’ Cultural Council and is a

WHAT IS AIR HUGS? Air Hugs, which looks at how the city of New Westminster came together under the shadow of COVID-19, depicts New Westminster from April to November 2020.

School district seeks $200M for new schools, land, expansion plans Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district is going big with its capital funding requests to the Ministry of Education this year.

The district is asking the province to cough up more than $201 million for new school facilities, land acquisition and expansion plans.Trustees voted Tuesday night to support a 2022/23 capital plan submission recommended by secretary-treasurer Bettina Ketcham.

In a report to trustees, Ketcham noted the district didn’t receive any funding from the major capital project requests it submitted to the ministry for 2021/22. Chief among those requests were $30

17

million to allow the district to buy land for a new elementary school in the central part of the city and $9.5 million for a two-storey, eight-classroom expansion at Fraser River Middle School.

Both projects have returned to the district’s wish list this year – with larger price tags attached.

The district’s requests for major capital projects are due by July 31, and the ministry makes its funding decisions by March 2022.

Here’s how this year’s requests break down: Ð $62.5 million – New elementary school for Fraser River catchment:The district is asking for $62.5 million, covering both land purchase ($31 million) and school building costs ($31.5 mil-

lion) for a new, 500-student elementary school designed to serve students in the Fraser River Middle School zone, to be constructed by 2025/26. Ð $14 million – Fraser River Middle School expansion:The district is continuing to ask for a 200-seat expansion at the over-capacity middle school – at a cost now pegged at $14 million – to be completed in the 2024/25 school year. Ð $51.8 million to $82.8 million – New middle school: With both the city’s mainland middle schools filled to the brim (even with the FRMS addition) and no space for further expansion, the district is planning for a new middle school. It could mean buying new land

(thus adding $31 million to the cost) or converting an existing school site. Ð $34.6 million – New Hume Park elementary school: Hume Park Elementary closed in the 2013/14 school year due to low enrolment, and the building now houses the Home Learners Program.

In 2018 the district bought a property on Fader Street, adjacent to the old school, to be used to alleviate future enrolment pressures. Ð $500,000 – Seismic upgrade to existing Hume Park school Ð $7.5 million – alternate program site (including renovations): The district is looking for a long-term, central location for its RCAP and POWER alternate secondary school programs.

AN EXTRAORDINARY GRAD CLASS IN A REMARKABLE YEAR

On behalf of the Board of Education and every staff member, both in our schools and across our district, we want to congratulate the graduates of the class of 2021.

You worked hard to build the foundation of knowledge, skills and experiences that will carry you into the future.

WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE BEEN PART OF YOUR JOURNEY.

What a year! A toast to the grad class of 2021 The following is a portion of the address by this year’s NewWestminster Secondary School valedictorian,Ananya Govindarajapuram. (It has been edited for length.)

This year has been different from other years for a whole host of reasons.There were a bunch of things that could have gone wrong, and then a bunch of things that did – notably, the pandemic we were stuck in.This year, we really got the short end of the stick.

Still, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit this wonderful year.

Back in September, we switched to the quarter system.You thought precalc 12 was hard?Well, now you have the joy of learning it in half the time, but with three-hour lectures!You want to study with friends for that bio test? Ah ah ah … the library is closed, and social distancing means you can’t go into each other’s houses. Hey IB kids: you

have exams at the end of the year, worth the entirety of your grade, right?

How would you feel about learning everything online?

Yes, these were all necessary changes in the effort of keeping the virus contained. But they undoubtedly made our senior year much harder than it otherwise might have been.

Yet, even with all the changes, we kept our heads up. And not just that – we succeeded during this chaotic year. Every single one of us got our diplomas.

We rocked pre-calc 12, and you aced that bio test.

We turned this situation upside down.

Many clubs run by the 12s turned to MS Teams – once our greatest foe, now, perhaps a friend – and found success! The Create Change club, for example, sold a ridiculous number of masks.The grad committee kept our spirits up with fun events and festivities.

During the hubbub of

this challenging year, with demanding classes, we somehow still learned how to find the bathrooms and classes in the new school.

At the end of the road, the work we put into this year has paid off. Not everyone can say they graduated in the middle of a pandemic, but we did that.

And here at NDub, we didn’t just graduate during a pandemic, we graduated with class and style. But to do that, we had a little help from a lot of people.

As difficult as listening to a three-hour class might have been, a thank you goes out to the teachers who had to teach during that big chunk of time.

On the flip side of that, the IB teachers somehow managed to teach effectively during their itty-bitty 40-minute time slots. And then there are the online teachers: those who may not have often seen our faces, but got to know us through all the work we definitely submitted on time.

Thank you to the secretaries, principal, vice-principals – everyone who kept the school year flowing as smoothly as possible.

Thanks to our counsellors, who were bombarded with questions about university and “where do I get my transcript??!”

And, of course, this year could not have been possible without our amazing custodians. During a year when just leaving the house could be dangerous, they made us all feel safer.

So, thank you to everyone for your help in our success this year, and high school in general.Thank you to our parents who might have dropped us off at school every morning since we were yay high, and might even drop us off at post-secondary.

This year was by no means easy. A lot could have gone wrong, and then a lot sure did.

On a more serious note, many social injustices were brought to light – in the world around us and in

our own school.We came to realize that we, our community, and the world is not as perfect as some might say. Suffering exists, as do all the wrongs that people have yet to even attempt to right.That’s a truth we have had to face in one way or another, all while pushing through some tough courses at school and who knows how many other challenges.

Yet, as we always do, we persisted, learned and adapted. Many took active steps to make our community a better place, and others have dreams of becoming leaders and change makers.The important thing is that the grad class of 2021 has experience with adversity, and we all know how to keep going.

So, look out world.

Cheers to us.

AsWe Age Celebrate our caregivers Margaret Coates contributor

In 2017, B.C.’s seniors advocate published a report that stated: “Caregiver distress is rising in B.C. while supports and services are not keeping pace with growing need.”

While things may have changed for the better in the few years before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, a recent survey commissioned by the Family Caregivers of British Columbia stated that, unfortunately, caregivers have been negatively impacted by the pandemic.

The survey results show that more than 50% of caregivers reported their mental health had gotten worse, more than 40% reported their physical health had declined, and caregiver anxiety levels increased 19%, reflected in feelings of concern, ner-

vousness and anguish.

The survey says: “Family and friend caregivers are on the front lines of COVID-19.The pandemic is highlighting the essential role caregivers are playing to help our healthcare system cope with this emergency.”

This is not good news for the roughly 1.1 million family and friend caregivers in British Columbia.

Most of us have taken on the role of an unpaid caregiver or will take on the role if we have loved ones or friends who need support.

Family caregivers are often a relative or friend who provides care and support to someone living with disease, disability, or frailty due to aging.Their ongoing work may involve transportation to appointments, or transport to a specific program targeted at the loved one or friend.

Be Wise

Caregivers may also provide personal care such as bathing, hygiene, mobility assistance, dressing and assisting with eating. Or they might provide supports like phone check-ins, companionship and emotional care, medication management, light housekeeping, gardening, and yard work.

Unfortunately, according to Family Caregivers of B.C., caregivers are often “unrecognized, unsupported, and underappreciated.” But the role of the caregiver cannot be underestimated.The Canadian Association of Retired People states that the economic value of unpaid caregivers who look after seniors can save Canada’s health-care system up to $31 billion annually.

Family caregivers deserve our support for their critical role in our community, especially now during these unprecedented

Q

What is the difference between Clinical / Medical skincare VS Drugstore products?

Q

Strength training at home: Is it effective and should I be doing it?

Q

My dentures are loose, what can I do?

A

The difference between the products from the drugstore and what you would get at Triniti Laser Clinic is a results oriented product. The ingredients that are in clinical skin care have something called a bio activity score, and the products you receive at your skin clinic have a higher score meaning they have an elevated level of active ingredients, which are better quality and are geared towards treating the skin at a cellular level. The best analogy is a meal from McDonald’s versus the Keg, it’s the quality you’re looking for, as for quantity you’ll find you use less product when switching to a higher calibre product.

A

ABSOLUTELY! Strength training can be done by EVERYONE at home and without fancy gym equipment.

A

There are various reasons, but suffice to say that the construction and successful wearing of a denture is dependent on many factors which cannot all be controlled by your dental provider. The shape of your mouth, the quality of your saliva and the presence or lack thereof of any teeth will make the largest determination of denture stability. There are many people who successfully wear dentures, but for some they can be problematic. If you have continued problems, it’s best to seek a professional opinion. There are options, like a reline to the existing denture. If it is not too old, the base of the denture can be relined to fit the present state of your ridge. For some, they may be a candidate in establishing a suction lower denture. A new technique on the market, with certified providers. If your dentures are too old, you may want to look into getting a new set to re-establish a good bite and fit, improve quality in function and aesthetics.

Alternatively, there are also implant solutions. We always want to introduce what’s best and fits your needs.

Over the past year, many have turned to walking as their primary form of exercise; A great option for cardio but, not a replacement for strength training. Strength training is an essential component of EVERYONE’S exercise plan. It improves the quality of life and has proven health benefits for people of all ages.

The most effective plan is one that you enjoy, helps you reach your goals, and one that you will execute on consistently.

A health/fitness coach can enhance your success at home by providing support, accountability and helping you focus. At LIVE WELL, your Health Coach can create a customized, at-home or in-person, strength program tailored to your unique health history and goals.

Q

I’m in the market for a used vehicle, how do I know who to trust and what steps should I take to ensure I get a quality vehicle?

Q

How do I choose a toothpaste?

Q

A

Buying a used vehicle may sound intimidating at first, but purchasing from a reputable licensed dealer is the first step. Make sure you see the Carfax and safety/mechanical report. Ask about warranty and finance options. Most reputable dealers will offer credit to customers regardless of their credit history. Check out the dealers online reviews and see what other customers are saying about their experience, so you feel comfortable with that dealership.

A

Since there is no “silver bullet” toothpaste, the best option for you will depend on the specific needs of your mouth. As a general rule, the most important ingredient of any toothpaste is fluoride for cavity control. If you choose a toothpaste without fluoride for personal reasons, be aware that more frequent brushing and flossing might be needed to prevent cavities. Beyond fluoride, a good place to start your search is by asking your dentist what areas of your mouth could use improvement. For example, if you have a lot of plaque build-up, a toothpaste aimed at tartar control would be best for you. Some other useful toothpaste options include anti-sensitivity, tooth whitening, and gum care. It is also wise to choose a toothpaste that has received the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval. Any toothpaste that has received this approval is safe to use and will help you keep your teeth their healthiest!

How do I choose the right colors for my home?

We are spending more time indoors and with COVID restrictions your surroundings may feel a bit blah. Why not change your scenery by having a mini staycation and give your home a MDD color makeover?

Balance and Harmony Choose palette with complementary colors for whole house. Like clutter, too many different colors will distract attention. Changing the color value and intensity of the palette and/or adding pop of color to rooms creates interest.

Lighting Lighting plays a vital part in how colors appear in your home. In a well-lit room, darker colors can absorb the space and create warmth and comfort but in north facing rooms/ basement with low natural light, dark colors close in the room.

Book a MDD color consultation today for your home’s color makeover.

Q

What made you decide to become a Realtor and what is your favorite part of the job?

A

I became interested in this profession after raising my three children. Being able to offer my clients specialized professional attention to detail has always been very important to me. As I worked for the City of New Westminster in the Parks and Recreational facilities part time prior to venturing in to real estate this gives me the opportunity to provide top notch customer service from the training we received. I feel this is something people appreciate and know they can count on from me.

Q

Why do dog daycares have spay and neuter policies?

Q

How do I talk to a parent about home care?

Q

Lucky or Good? “My brother-in-law’s friend is making tons on trading XYZ stock.”

A

While we wish we could take all your pups in forever, there often comes a time when your fuzzbutt is asked to take a break until... “The Big Snip.” They may have to leave daycare permanently if you choose to keep your pupper unaltered.

As your care providers and trainers, we along with your groomers, dog walkers and breeders really shouldn’t have a say in this decision. You and your veterinarian will make this tough call together, and we will support it whatever it may be! However, when it comes to managing a group environment, the group dynamic really shifts if someone has skipped “The Big Snip” and it could put your pup as well as others in harm’s way. We usually see this change occur somewhere between 6-8 months, so our policy is fairly strict for everyone’s safety.

A

It’s challenging to introduce in-home care services to a parent, or another loved one to support aging in place safely as long as possible. Most parents are struggling to accept outside help as they might not see a need or might believe they will lose their independence. In fact, it’s the opposite!

A

It is good to be lucky, but history has shown us that being lucky in the stock market is not a good long-term strategy. As the markets soar, you inevitably hear stories of people making millions on high flying stocks but for each of those, there are 10 untold stories of people losing everything, and often, the later story follows the former in short-order.

All this to say that although getting lucky feels good at the time, make sure your investment decisions are based on a larger financial plan and that, to the best of your ability, emotions like fear, greed and envy are taken out of the equation. This is proven to be one area that working with an advisor can provide the most value.

Helpful tips on how to start this brave conversation: 1 Start early (don’t wait until a crisis), leave out your emotions, be empathetic and involve the loved one(s) in the conversation.

2 Ensure that other family members agree on in-home care and focus on its benefits.

3

Schedule an in-home care consultation to assess care needs, mobility, safety and highlight home care benefits.

4 Don’t parent your parent(s)! Listen & respect the person’s wishes!

5 Consider the financial situation and be ready to help with home care if required.

Go to www.waddingtonwealth.com to book your free consultation and make sure your investment strategy isn’t based on more than just luck.

6 When speaking to a loved one who suffers from Dementia/ Alzheimer’s, ensure you get their attention by saying their name and making eye contact.
