Costs put affordable housing project in jeopardy Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The soaring price of wood is bringing an affordable housing project in Connaught Heights to a halt – at least for now.

In a July 12 report, New Westminster city staff updated council on the small sites affordable housing project that had been proposed for 2035 London St. Council approved a staff recommendation that the

city not proceed with the project at this time due to a couple of factors, including increased construction costs.

“Most significantly, construction costs, particularly the cost of wood, have

quadrupled in the last 12 months,” said the report to council. “This has a high impact on the financial viability of small wood-frame projects such as this one, which have a fewer number of units over which to

spread the increased costs.”

Increasing the number of units and overall massing of the project would reduce its objective of providing a building design that’s sympathetic with the existing neighbourhood,

said the report.

Staff also said the expedited timeline for council’s consideration of amendments to the official community plan and zoning bylaw, which is required in Continued on page 3

City FOOD SECURITY

New community garden in Queensborough

The City of New Westminster is celebrating the opening of its newest community garden.

Located in Ryall Park in Queensborough, the garden is a partnership with B.C.’s Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, GROWcery Food Network Society and the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association.

The ministry provided more than $320,000 for the project through WorkBC’s Community and Employer Partnerships.

“I strongly believe in community programs like this that provide work skills to our vulnerable populations while connecting them to their community,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote, in a statement.

“Thank you to the province for investing in our community, and also to our community partners for providing guidance to

our participants and ensuring the garden is a success in growing food and cultivating relationships.”

The garden was completed through the program by six participants, two of whom are now employed and four are actively looking for job opportunities with their new skills and experiences.

In addition, four residents of the nearby Mazarine Lodge and another individual receive funding through the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction’s work experience opportunities grant to assist with groundskeeping activities at the garden.They’re each managing a raised bed garden. The garden was added to promote food security, ecological sustainability and strengthen community connections, said a news release.

It includes the following

features: Ð 24 raised garden plots, with two plots designed for those with mobility challenges. Ð Hose-bib connections and built-in reservoirs for irrigation. Ð Tool shed for access to shared tools. Ð Three-bin compost and potting table. Ð Entry therapeutic garden planted with medicinal and edible plants typically found in the forest. Ð Perimeter pollinator meadow, planted with a fruit and nut orchard. Ð Seed and plant library for sharing plants, clippings and seeds. Ð Seating for gathering, socializing and resting.

The community is invited to explore the new Ryall Park Community Garden by registering to attend the opening event on Monday, July 19.Three family sessions are avail-

Some residents want land kept as greenspace Continued from page 1 order to seek funding from senior governments, was problematic.

“To secure funding from senior governments, it’s expected the city would need to hold a public hearing in the spring of 2022. Meeting this would require significant staff resources, more than originally anticipated given the effort to resolve the issues regarding 2038 Ninth Ave. (e.g.

Crown land grant),” said the report. “The top proponent has also shared similar concerns and has chosen to withdraw their submission.”

The staff report says city staff time could be better focused on other affordable housing projects in New Westminster.

“There are a number of other affordable housing opportunities currently under exploration in the city, and delaying this project at this time would allow staff resources to be focused on these, which: already in-

clude a partnership with senior government; meet an immediate need by providing emergency shelter beds or supportive housing units; and deliver a higher number of units,” said the report.

Staff will keep an eye out for new funding programs and changing circumstances, such as a decrease in construction costs, that may allow the project to be relaunched in the future.

In October 2019, council endorsed the use of the city-owned properties at 2035 London St. and 2038 Ninth Ave. in the Connaught Heights neighbourhood, as well as two sites in Queensborough, for the development of small-sites affordable housing projects.

After issuing a request for proposals in January 2020, the city received seven proposals for the Connaught Heights location.

Some Connaught Heights residents expressed concern about

They also said they’d like to see the site, which was once home to a small community centre, to be retained as greenspace.

HEALTH

Vaccination clinics set up in NewWest New Westminster residents who haven’t yet received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine are being given a chance to do so – without an appointment.

So far, New Westminster has been doing well with first doses, as 83% of residents aged 12 and up had received their first dose, as of the latest B.C. Centre for Disease Control numbers available at press time. But the push is still on to get those remaining unvaccinated in for their jab.

A neighbourhood clinic has been set up for Tuesday, July 20 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op at 715 Carnarvon St. Anyone aged 12 and up who hasn’t received a first dose is welcome to walk in.

The main vaccination clinic at Anvil Centre (777 Columbia St.) is also offering walk-in service for people still in need of a first dose. People can walk in between 10:45 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. daily to get their first dose.

Fraser Health notes that first-dose walk-in appointments are open to anyone 12 years and older. All people living in Fraser Health (the health authority that covers the territory from Burnaby to Boston Bar) are welcome, including those without personal health numbers, vulnerable people and/or people who are not residents of B.C. As for second doses? If you qualify for your second dose (that is, if it has been eight weeks or more since your first dose) and the clinic has capacity, your name will be added to a virtual wait list.You will be texted to come back later that day to get your second dose if there is enough vaccine.

REIMAGINING THE QUEEN’S PARK FARM We want your ideas to help create a NEW, long-term future for the farm space at Queen’s Park. The farm has been a well-used and loved component of the park, which has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This summer we are filling the farm with temporary programming, and starting in fall 2021 we are pursuing a possible pilot program related to food security and urban agriculture. However, the longer-term future of the farm is open for new ideas!

Before the pandemic, New Westminster Parks and Recreation started re-considering the long-standing use of the space as a petting farm.

With current animal welfare practices, and growing numbers of visitors to the farm, it has become clear that the farm space is not large enough to comfortably house the type of livestock farm-goers have enjoyed.

The comfort and care of the animals has always been the City’s top priority. Our farm staff have always provided the best possible care to our animals, but we know going forward that the current space has become insufficient.

The pause in farm operations due to the pandemic has provided an opportunity to try out different programming in the space, and start a community conversation about what this space could be in the future.

For more information about summer 2021 programming, visit newwestcity.ca/thefarm.

PARKING AT CANADA GAMES POOL & CENTENNIAL COMMUNITY CENTRE Please be advised that reserved drop-ins will no longer be required starting July 20, 2021 .

City New West endorses Sanctuary City policy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster wants to be a place where people feel safe accessing city programs and services – regardless of their immigration status.

On Monday, council endorsed the City of New Westminster Sanctuary City Policy: Access to City Facilities, Programs and Services for all Community Members.

Council also directed staff to include $5,000 in the 2022 budget process for implementation of the policy within the diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism framework that’s currently being developed.

Claudia Freire, the city’s housing social planner, said the intent of the policy is to support New Westminster community members with uncertain,

precarious, undocumented refugee or no immigration status.They’ll be able to access city facilities, programs and services with the knowledge the City of NewWestminster will not ask for information about their immigration status and will not provide information about any individuals’ immigration status to other institutions or orders of government.

The policy is intended to guide the actions of elected officials, city staff, volunteers, contractors and consultants.

Mayor Jonathan Cote said a Sanctuary City policy connects well to the values of the community.

He said it will help people to access important city services.

“I think this policy is really going to remove that barrier and make sure everyone in the City of New

This year

Westminster can connect and deal with all the programs and work we do, whether that’s parks and recreation or whether it’s emergency services,” he said. “I wholeheartedly support this and appreciate all the work and effort that’s been put into this policy.”

According to the staff report, in 2016, one in every three residents were immigrants, with about 10% of those being refugees. Sanctuary City policies are sometimes referred to “access without fear” or “don’t ask/don’t tell” policies.

“This is an act of compassion by a city that is known for such things,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. “Nobody should ever be afraid that if they call the police their immigration status might end up being examined, or the

“It is very important to have assurance from the police department that a mirror document will be coming forth soon,” she said. “For me, the two documents are the two sides of a coin. If one side is missing for too long, I feel like the effectiveness of that coin is lost; the value of that coin is lost.”

Cote, who chairs the police board, said the NWPD fully intends to have a complementary document done by the end of the year.

Chief Const. Dave Jansen said the police board has directed the NWPD to put together a policy and/or guidelines, which he expects to be presented to the board for its review and direction in September or October.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Answers needed on heat deaths

One of the most important reviews in recent memory is being carried out by B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe, who is investigating how and why so many people – literally hundreds – died in the middle of that extraordinary heat wave we just came through.

She and her team, which will include the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, will examine and analyze the circumstances surrounding each death, which could number more than 500.

The lessons learned from her investigation could shape all kinds of public policy, and it may do so over a relatively short period.

For example, will the evidence show that many people died indoors, in the mistaken belief they were beating the heat by throwing the windows open?

A finding like this may lead to a reform of building code regulations when it comes to things like requiring air conditioning or internal cooling mechanisms as part of any new construction in some regions.

Air-conditioned homes are relatively few in British Columbia, but that may have to change going forward, especially as few scientists think the heat wave was a “freak” event.

The ages of heat victims will also draw considerable interest.Were they primarily older people living alone? On the other hand, did seemingly healthy people of a younger age succumb as well?

Heatstroke can affect any age group. Moreover, because so few of us had experience dealing with such high temperatures, some people may have been unaware of the danger 40-degree temperatures posed to their bodies.

It may well turn out that relatively few deaths occurred in long-term care

homes. If that is indeed the case, it will likely be because such facilities have staff who can ensure residents are kept safe through cooling-down measures.

However, people living alone may have been the most vulnerable, with no one to check in on them as their places of residence literally became danger zones.

Lapointe’s findings may shine on a light on a critical question: what role did communications – or perhaps, the lack of communications – play in this disaster? Was enough done to educate and inform the public about the dangers such high heat can pose?

For example, Environment Canada issued an extreme heat warning, but how many understood the implications of such a warning? After all, British Columbians are used to warnings about extreme windstorms, rain and snowfall and generally know how to cope in such situations.

But 40-degree heat?

That’s a different matter, and it is an unanswered question whether the government should have taken more steps.

There is no set timeline for Lapointe’s investigation that I’m aware of, so we shall likely have to wait at least a few weeks to see what her team uncovers.

The results will hopefully lead to changes that will prevent a high number of deaths from occurring the next time we find ourselves under a menacing heat dome.

The NDP government has received high marks for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.The jury is still out, however, on how it handled not only the deadly heat wave but also the other crisis intrinsically linked to it: the ongoing wildfire season.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should Canada boycott the 2022 Olympics?

“If the Olympics disappeared, I wouldn’t miss them.”

Scott Paper Ltd. pleaded guilty to violating the Waste Management Act by not abiding by the conditions of a permit.The company had originally been charged with three offences after an investigation into a pulp spill into the Fraser River between April 4 and 6 in 1991.

The environment ministry said the company had released more than twice as much pulp into the river as its permit allowed. A ministry official said pulp uses up oxygen as it decomposes and can clog the gills of fish and suffocate them.

How Retirement Living Can

Improve Your Life During the Pandemic

INBOX

A warning to politicians to stop ignoring climate and reconciliation

Editor: An open letter to all politicians: In the last few months, the legacy of residential schools and the impact of climate change have left Canadians reeling. And we watch in horror as they come together in the decimation of the community of Lytton and fires across B.C. Indigenous people will be disproportionately affected.

Please know, as you contemplate your political future, that this year has taught us that while crisis and change are traumatic, they are not intolerable. But the status quo most certainly is.

Reconciliation must happen now. The suffering and inequality of Indigenous peoples must be meaningfully addressed. You need to provide voters with a specific course of action based on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report and put these actions in place immediately, while continuing to support the recovery of the victims of residential schools and secure clean water for everyone in this country. We don’t care whose jurisdiction or how it’s paid for. Just do it.

You must also take meaningful, brave and impactful action on climate change based on peer-reviewed, evidence-based research. We are burning. Homes, lives, plants and animals are in peril. Make it your priority.

Everything depends on these two realities.

Employment, economy, opioid deaths, cost of living, health care, international relations – all issues that hinge on our treatment of Indigenous and racialized people, and our ability to stop climate change.

And to base your actions on fear, hate and knee-jerk public opinion means we will all continue to suffer. Your dependency on strategy based on popularity across election cycles has failed us. Please be brave and find a better way to make positive change, not just stay in office.

There is a sense of urgency that many white middle-class folks like myself are now experiencing. We’ve been quiet in the past; that top part of the bell curve of public opinion that lets the haters and the acolytes duke it out.

No more.

We will heed the call to use our privilege to address problems for others and the planet.

And we will be watching you and demanding more.

Please consider yourself warned.

Lori Walker, New Westminster

There's no question, the pandemic has forever changed our world. But what hasn’t changed is the fact that humans are wired for connection. Young or old, introverted, or extroverted, we need the company of others to sustain our physical and mental well-being. This is the philosophy retirement communities are built on, and why today, even amid a global pandemic, retirement communities are a safe solid landing place for older adults...

City City extends temporary patio program until 2022 Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is taking steps to ensure its temporary patio program mirrors what’s being permitted by the province.

City council has approved a staff recommendation to extend the temporary patio program until June 1, 2022. It’s also directed staff to bring forward any bylaws that may need to be amended to support the program extension until next June.

To support local food and beverage establishments during the pandemic and to help create vibrant neighbourhoods, the city introduced a temporary patio program in the summer of 2020 and offered it once again in 2021.The program was set to end on Oct. 31, 2021.

According to staff, the province recently announced it’s extending the program until June 1, 2022, in order to give businesses time to submit applications to convert their temporary patios to permanent patios and to continue to support B.C.’s recovery from COVID-19.

Staff recommended the city extend its patio program to June 1, 2022 to “mirror” the province’s timeline.

A report to council stated 21 temporary patios have been approved as part of the program, including 11 on-street patios (one of which chose not to move forward after being approved), eight on private property, one sidewalk patio, and one that’s a combination of sidewalk/ private property.

“Over the summer and fall, staff will work with

those establishments interested in making their patios permanent and determine the process necessary depending on the individual patio context,” said the staff report.

In addition to extending the program, the city will also continue to waive associated fees for the yearly licence fee ($2.50 per square foot) and/or security deposit ($600).

Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he supports the program and believes it’s been successful from a street activation viewpoint.

“I am generally in support of waiving the fees during the trial period, but I think we need to talk about the permanent program and how we are going to allocate and price the use of public space by private businesses,” he said. “I think we want to support this, but I also

Outdoor space: Temporary patios, such as this one outside the Thirsty Duck pub on 12th Street , will be able to stay awhile longer. The city is extending the pandemic-inspired patio program until June 1, 2022 following changes by the B.C. government.

think we have to recognize there is a requirement that we cost recover at least on space used.”

Carolyn Armanini, planner in economic development, said the City of New Westminster is “a little bit lucky” in that it’s had a patio program since 1997. She said the city has

a “square footage fee” that applies to permanent patios that are created on sidewalks. She said the city’s economic development and transportation staff are working together on the issue.

“We are going to be running some numbers to see where that number

generally comes out when it’s applied to on-street parking versus the loss of parking revenue,” she said.

“That’s the kind of think we will be taking a look at over the next little bit as we look to update our existing permanent program.”

Now is always the best time to buy cemetery property.

City Parking reduction OK’d for new aquatic centre Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The future təməsew̓ txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre has received its second parking variance in as many years.

On Monday, council approved a development

variance permit that reduces the number of parking spaces required for the future facility being built at 65 East Sixth Ave., on the site next to the Canada Games Pool and the Glenbrook Fire Hall.

Instead of the 527 onsite parking spots required

under the site’s zoning, a staff report said it will have no fewer than 386 spaces.

It’s the second parking variance council has granted to the city’s new aquatic and community centre project.

In 2019, council approved a variance that al-

lowed 413 stalls, which is 114 fewer spaces than what’s required under zoning.The latest development variance permit allows a further reduction of 27 stalls, meaning the facility will have 141 fewer spots than what’s required for on-site parking under

ROTARY IN ACTION THIS SPACE IS SPONSORED

BY THESE ROTARIANS:

the site’s current zoning.

A staff report said the latest parking variance is required because the city wants a storage structure at the rear of the fire hall to remain in its current location. It was originally proposed to be relocated, but it has since been determined it should stay put because of cost, issues finding suitable and secure storage locations in the city and negative impacts on the fire department.

According to the staff report, NewWestminster Fire and Rescue Services uses the storage structure to house an emergency response vehicle, the fire investigation trailer, a wild land unit, flood response equipment, as well as small equipment reserves

and personal protective equipment. Retaining this storage structure in its current location would result in a reduction of parking stalls on the site of the aquatic and community centre that’s now under construction.

To help mitigate the demand for on-site parking, staff is developing a transportation demand management (TDM) program that would encourage the use of sustainable transportation modes for patrons and staff.The program will include: encouragement of modes of transportation such as car-pooling, cycling and transit; implementation of parking time limits; and development of secure long-term bike storage.

CRAFT SALE

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Royal City Gogos are hosting their 10th annual Artisan Crafts for Africa Sale. This year’s event is taking place in Tipperary Park on Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

TELL ME MORE: This year’s sale will include the high-quality signature items that shoppers have come to appreciate through the years, including tote bags, neck pouches and snappy bags, dryer balls, garden fairies, microwave cozies, and silk and merino felted scarves. It also features a wide variety of new items, including silk and suede totes, jewelry, art originals and art cards, cat pillows and

painted, beaded, appliquéd and embroidered denim jackets.

Visitors, including folks wanting to shop for themselves or hoping to buy some specialty items for Christmas, will be able to shop in 10 “departments” at the sale.

“Fashion lovers will enjoy the beaded, embroidered, embellished jean jackets and the quilted suede and silk totes, felted silk scarves and chunky statement jewelry,” said a press release about the event.

“Over 300 Christmas decorations dazzle in the Christmas in July department. Cat lovers will adore the array of door stops and cat cushions. Come early to get

the one and only denim ‘splat cat’ – she is sure to make you smile! Fairies glide on twig swings above the potted succulents in the garden department. There are brightly coloured African baskets and wall hangings, tasty preserves, and toys for kids made of upcycled sweaters. This sale will be a highlight of your summer.”

ANYTHING ELSE? Attendees can enter their name in a door prize draw, where two lucky winners will win a large basket of treasures from each “department” at the sale.

Shoppers can also place bids in a sealed bid auction on four handcrafted and hand-painted character figures.

If they’re hungry after all that shopping, they can stop by the Lucha Libre Mexican street food truck.

Artisan wares: Handmade creations of all kinds will be available at the Royal City Gogos’ 10th annual Artisan Crafts for Africa Sale, coming July 24 to Tipperary Park.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

WHAT’S IT FOR? All proceeds from the sale go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, which supports community-based projects in 15 countries in Africa. The money assists African grandmothers who have undertaken the nurturing, safety and education of some of 17 million children orphaned by AIDS.

Janine Reid founded the Royal City Gogos in New Westminster in 2009 to allow local women, including grandmothers (gogos), to support the campaign.

“We have raised $620,000, she said in an email to the Record.

“This amount of money will have changed lives for the better for African grandmothers and the children in their care.”

Through the years, the group has hosted a variety of events to raise money for the campaign.

The Artisan Crafts for Africa sale has grown from humble beginnings to a event that attracts shoppers from near and far.

“Years ago, the Rotary Club of New Westminster gave Royal City Gogos $750 to purchase craft materials. We have grown every year since to a three-day event in 2019 that attracted

1,000 people and raised $60,000,” Reid said. “We have had to take a small step back with COVID in the past two years to hold outdoor, one-day events, but we have enjoyed tremendous community support. We have a loyal following, including people who fly in from Alberta to attend or come over from the Islands just for our sale. People report our sale is a highlight of their year – great vibe, beautiful products and wonderful value, all for a good cause.”

For more information about Grandmothers to Grandmothers, go to www.grandmothers campaign.org.

KRGOVICH, Eileen E. December 30, 1933 − June 16, 2021 We remember a strong and caring woman; a daughter, a sister, wife, mother, grammy, great grammy, auntie, great auntie, and true friend.

Eileen passed away peacefully at the age of 87 years in a loving and caring home environment at Brookside Lodge, where she lived for the past twelve years with Alzheimer’s disease. The staff grew to love and care for her exceptionally well.

With our extreme gratitude through the COVID−19 chaos, she was kept safe from the pandemic.

Eileen was born to Olaf and Ruby Johnson on December 30, 1933, in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan.

She left the family farm in Ordale District at the age of sixteen to move to Vancouver to live with her sister Margaret and family. Eileen worked for Eaton’s and Glenburn Telephone Exchange and contributed her time to the Royal Canadian Air Force Reserve.

Eileen married Mike on June 1, 1957. They became proprietors of Admiral Decorating Supplies, and later on, Mike’s Kaboose. Eileen was actively involved in her community. While raising her children, she opened their home to many neighbourhood children. She was a PTA mom and when the boys became involved with Lacrosse and Hockey, she was a valued contributor to the Minor and Junior Sports Club Executives.

Eileen is predeceased by her husband, Mike [Milan]. She is survived by her daughter, Janis Rose; granddaughters, Auzsha Rose and Tallea Evelyn Rose; great−grandson, Kache Michael Robert; sons, Milan Robert [Marna] and Douglas John; her brothers, Clarence, Aaron [Arlene], and Bill; and sisters, Kate, Grace, and Shirley [Al]; as well as, many nieces & nephews, and great−nieces & great−nephews. Eileen is predeceased by her parents; and siblings, Ernie, Annie, Margaret, Marvin, Ida and Lesley.

To honour Eileen, please consider donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or a society of your choice.
