PLANNING

City eyes strategy to restore downtown Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster is looking for ways to bring a bit of a spark back into the downtown.

On Monday, council approved a “downtown recovery strategy” motion put forward by councillors Patrick Johnstone and Mary Trentadue.

Johnstone said the downtown has been identified as a regional town centre that will include transit-oriented, mixeduse development. He said it’s one of the densest and most rapidly growing residential neighbourhoods in the region.

Since the downtown community plan was developed in 2010, Johnstone said there has been “pretty significant” residential growth in the area. But at the same time, he said, the downtown has faced setbacks such as the loss of historic buildings to fire, the closure of an anchor retailer (Army & Navy), the loss of an important park space atWestminster Pier Park, ongoing impacts of construction and limitations on programming and public engagement because of COVID. “Just as people are moving in, as it is really densi-

fying and becoming that active, dynamic neighbourhood we want it to become, our livability goals are being challenged because of all these overlapping situations,” he said.

“I don’t think it is going to be the thriving town centre we want it to be unless we sort of take some proactive action to make it so. So what I’m asking for here is for staff and council to work towards a more proactive approach to assuring the downtown is walkable, livable, that full-service community that supports its growing population.”

The motion asks staff to review strategies and regulatory tools that are available to council to support the rapid revitalization of under-performing, derelict and vacant properties on Columbia Street. It also asks staff to provide recommendations for rapid and medium-term actions to support the vibrancy of business, the activation of the streets and improving the amenity value of the historic downtown.

“I’m hoping that staff can find us some creative ways to get moving on these sites and can send a signal to both the residents and the businesses in downtown that we are still hopeful, we are committed

to the future of the community, and it’s going to be a mixed-use and successful community for this growing population,” Johnstone said. “I am just hoping that staff can give us some ideas and we can find some creative approaches to bring back some confidence.”

Trentadue said it’s been “a challenging number of years” for the downtown.

“There was some work that was started in a number of storefronts in the

Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city has seen “tremendous progress” in downtown NewWestminster in the past 10 to 20 years, which has included significant city investments in projects like Pier Park and Anvil Centre.

“Those investments will continue to pay dividends in creating that town centre and urban downtown,” he said. “But we have also seen thousands of new residents move into the area.

I often credit that as a big

downtown core, but everything at this point seems to have stalled out,” she said.

“I think it is time to reinvigorate that conversation and try to understand what the city’s abilities are to encourage and incentivize, require changes to storefronts that are really not doing any justice to our downtown core and to the number of businesses that are really working hard at making the downtown a draw for the rest of the community.”

A new voice for New Westminister- Burnaby ROZINA JAFFER

part of the turnaround in the downtown, where more people live and more people actively using the downtown.That’s really what brings the energy.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’d like the city to keep in mind that downtown businesses have been hit hard

by COVID. He noted one landlord lost 90% of his office leases in a building because of the pandemic.

“I’ll support the motion. I just want temper things a little bit,” he said.

“I want to make sure that the general public doesn’t come away with an impression that things are really dire and going sideways downtown.”

Puchmayr recalled some dark days on Columbia Street.

“I saw the banks leave; I saw the drug trafficking at SkyTrain and the drug trafficking all along Columbia Street,” he said. “We have come a long ways. I think putting some density onto Columbia Street has really helped. It helps the small businesses. I know that, right now, this is an anomaly, what we are seeing.”

News HEPA filters ‘not required’ in schools: district Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster parent has hit a wall in his attempts to fundraise for air purifiers in local classrooms as part of the fight against COVID-19.

Gabriel Bauman launched a GoFundMe campaign last week with an aim to raise money to purchase portable high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) units and N95 masks, to be made available to classes in School District 40 on request.

As the parent and step-parent of three children in New Westminster schools, Bauman said, he wants them to be as protected as possible against COVID, especially with the highly transmissible Delta variant now spreading rapidly in B.C. “My job is to look after my kids,” he said in an interview with the Record.

“But I can’t just protect my kids.The reason I’m trying to get filtration into all the classrooms is if I don’t get all the classrooms safe, my kids aren’t safe, and neither are anyone else’s.That’s the only way to fight this: as a community.”

But his campaign ended almost before it had be-

gun, when Bauman received word from the New West school district that it would not accept donations of portable air purification devices.

“After further review and taking the time to thoughtfully consider the questions posed regarding portable air devices in classrooms, we will not be implementing these units in our classrooms,” the school district said in a statement.

“Our decision is based on these considerations: Ð these portable air filtration units are not required; Ð the questionable benefit as we consider the complexities of ventilation and air flow across multiple spaces and schools; Ð and our continued confidence as we are meeting or exceeding recommended standards on ventilation wherever possible.”

B.C. POLICY AT ISSUE The New Westminster school district notes it is following guidance from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

For Bauman, that guidance falls short. He points out the BCCDC’s back-to-school guidance touches very little on issues of ventilation and air

quality. By contrast, Ontario has mandated provincially funded air filtration units as part of the return to school.

Before the 2021/22 school year, the Ontario government announced funding for 20,000 more HEPA units in schools, bringing the total to more than 70,000 ventilation devices in Ontario classrooms.

“Ontario got on it.Why aren’t we doing that here?

And if it’s not necessary, why did they do it?” Bauman said.

At a B.C. back-toschool media briefing on Aug. 24, Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside said the B.C. government has invested $77.5 million in air-quality projects in school districts.Whiteside said the ministry has been working with school districts to identify where there are ventilation problems.

“There are very few instances where there needs to be mitigating approaches such as HEPA filters,” she said.

VENTILATION IN NEW WEST SCHOOLS Bettina Ketcham, secretary-treasurer for the New Westminster school district, said the Ministry of

Safety first: Masks are one layer of protection for students in class, but a New Westminster parent was hoping to add another – in the form of stand-alone HEPA filtration units. PHOTO FATCAMERA/GETTY IMAGES

Education has required all districts in B.C. to review the status of ventilation in their schools.

Ketcham, at the Sept.

14 school board operations committee meeting, said New Westminster is in a fortunate position in that it has relatively few schools and is therefore able to refresh and upgrade its ventilation systems more frequently.

She said most air filters in schools are at the MERV-13 level (the level recommended by the province) and all school sites with fresh-air intake systems have increased the amount of fresh air being brought in to schools.

A ministry template outlining measures for

each school site was to be posted on the school district’s website, www. newwestschools.ca, on Wednesday (following press deadline).

MORE PROTECTION But, for Bauman, the crux of the issue is simple: “An air filter is not harmful to anything, except maybe the narrative that COVID isn’t airborne.”

That’s how he put it on Twitter after being turned down by the school district, and that’s why he’d still like to see HEPA units in classrooms.

With airborne virus, aerosols only disappear once you filter them out or exhaust them out of a room, Bauman pointed

out, and that’s where the HEPA filtration units would add protection for students and school staff.

Bauman said B.C. schoolchildren remain relatively unprotected.

Masks are “encouraged” for students in kindergarten through Grade 3 and mandated for grades 4 to 12, but Bauman pointed out that provides incomplete protection at best.

“These kids are eating unmasked, shoulder to shoulder, every day, and COVID is more infectious than chickenpox,” Bauman said. “If there was a chickenpox outbreak, we would not be sending our kids to school.This is bonkers.”

Bauman pointed to the experience in countries such as the U.K. and the U.S., where Delta has spread extensively in schools.

“This notion that we are somehow in a special bubble where kids don’t transmit, and kids don’t get sick, and we don’t need filtration in classrooms – this is unacceptable.”

New West schools see first COVID exposure of the year Information about individual COVID-19 cases in schools is no longer being made public in B.C. Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster saw its first reported COVID-19 school exposure less than a week into the new school year. École Qayqayt Elementary School saw an exposure on Sept. 8 between 8:45 a.m. and 10 a.m., according to the B.C. School COVID Tracker Facebook page on Sept. 13.

B.C. School COVID Tracker is a parent-run effort to provide pub-

lic information about COVID-19 in schools. It keeps a Facebook page and a database, with data provided by the public and confirmation in the form of letters from public health.

School-based exposure data is no longer being made publicly available by the province for the 2021/22 school year.

Fraser Health no longer publishes a list of current school exposures; its website (www.fraserhealth. ca/schoolexposures) will

now list only current outbreaks, rather than individual cases.

School-wide exposure notifications are also not being sent out for individual COVID-19 exposures.

As of this school year, families will not receive the general notification letters and phone calls from school principals that were done each time someone associated with a school tested positive for COVID-19 during the 2020/21 school year.

“As per provincial direc-

tion, public health will notify staff and students who need to take a specific action, such as self-monitoring or self-isolation, as a result of a COVID-19 exposure.The school community will be notified when appropriate, such as in the case of an outbreak, and this will be posted to our website,” Fraser Health said in a letter to school districts.

NewWestminster school district superintendent Karim Hachlaf confirmed the district sent out two

letters – a self-monitoring letter and a self-isolation letter – in connection with the Qayqayt case, the only COVID-related letters it had issued as of Tuesday night. (Hachlaf provides monthly COVID-19 updates at the school board’s operations committee meetings.)

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry addressed reporter questions about school exposure notifications during an Aug. 31 briefing.

“We’ve heard very

clearly from people that the majority of people felt that the school-based letters were more anxiety-provoking than helpful,” Henry said.

“We will absolutely be keeping the schools informed and working with the schools, with our school response teams, to make sure that every single case in the school setting is identified and the contacts are managed and that people are informed of what’s happening in the school setting.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Suburban ridings will be close

Predicting an election outcome is a risky endeavour at best, but a somewhat safer exercise is focusing on the specific ridings that may determine which party forms government after Sept. 20.

In B.C., there are 42 ridings, but close to 30 of them can be considered strongholds for one party or another.The outcomes of the races in ridings such as Vancouver East (an NDP fortress),Vancouver Centre (a Liberal mainstay) and Prince GeorgePeace River-Northern Rockies (a Conservative bastion) can be declared before the ballot boxes are even opened.

About a dozen ridings, however, usually have close results and therefore stand a good chance of changing hands from one party to another. Depending on what happens in the rest of the country (particularly southern Ontario and Quebec) these B.C. ridings could be pivotal to the election outcome.

Almost all of these ridings are sprinkled through the suburbs.

The Tri-Cities area, for example, has two seats that could go down to the wire.The Conservatives narrowly won Port Moody-Coquitlam in 2019 in a genuine threeway fight while the Liberals squeaked out a victory in neighbouring Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam.

The Conservatives have to be concerned some other seats nearby that they currently hold – Cloverdale-Langley City, Maple Ridge-Mission and South Surrey-White Rock – could easily change hands as voting demographics have changed over time, with more younger voters moving into the region.

Recent polling has shown Liberal fortunes may be taking a dip in B.C.Whether that happens or not, the party is

likely nervous about its grip on two North Shore ridings.

I have written before that the NDP has a decent chance at taking Burnaby North-Seymour, but the Liberals cannot presume to have a lock on West Vancouver-Sunshine CoastSea to Sky. Incumbent Paul Weiler received just 35% of the vote in 2019 in a riding that has elected Conservative candidates on numerous occasions.

The Liberals are also likely worried about two Surrey ridings - Fleetwood-Port Kells and Surrey Centre - which they won with less than 40% of the vote last time around.

The NDP’s closest win came in South Okanagan-West Kootenay, so that is one to keep an eye on as well.

Polls may show the race tightening even further in the campaign’s final week or perhaps the opposite will occur: maybe there will be more daylight between the parties.

Can Justin Trudeau gain some momentum after appearing to be stuck in neutral for most of the campaign?

Can Erin O’Toole continue his risk-averse approach to campaigning, or can his opponents use some issues (vaccination requirements, child care funding e.g.) to inflict some damage?

Will Jagmeet Singh’s relentless focus on heavily taxing the “super rich” pay off at the voting booth?

And will the Green Party’s apparent erosion of support favour one party over another?

In most ridings, the answers to questions like these may not change the voting outcome. However, in about a dozen or so ridings in this province, they may very well determine a winner.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Clean up after horses on local trails?

“It is just generally unattractive. Appreciate those that kick it off the trail, but many others don’t.”

“I usually just walk around it. People need to chill.”

A longtime patron of Gateway Casino at the Royal Towers Hotel was hauled into the office by two security workers for giving a runner a counterfeit $50 bill. But the woman said she had gotten the bill from an ATM in the hotel lobby – and New West police said Gateway employees had found another fake $50 bill when counting the cash that night.The woman said the experience was “demeaning” but a Gateway manager said staff were just following procedures.To add insult to injury, the woman wasn’t reimbursed the $50.

Road is a noisy mess

Editor: Over the past year-and-a-half, I have been forced to work from home due to the COVID crisis. What I have discovered is the amount of noise and congestion on Princess Street has become increasingly disturbing.

The noise from the delivery trucks, their back-up beeping, honking, loud motorcycles and drivers of cars revving their motors to the point you cannot hear your television or speak on a headset.

I trust you will understand the stress this noise has created for my family.

I have contacted the city, had a call and some followup emails, but the situation has become increasingly worse. Now, I understand the delivery trucks need to deliver, but if a sign could be posted, like in other communities: “Please reduce your engine brake noise as this is a residential area,” this would be a step forward. Perhaps the delivery times could be restricted to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., as I understand at the present time the trucks can deliver up to 10 p.m. at night. However, we have documented trucks arriving as early as 3:15 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m.

The trucks keep honking at one another to get out of the way, like truck rage, and the

constant cars honking at the trucks who block the road. Quite often, due to road space, our building driveway is blocked by large semitrucks waiting for bay docking space.

Princess Street used to be a great place to live. After 10 years, it has changed, and the noise has become unreasonable.

Ruth Wang, New Westminster

‘Eighth Street Freeway’ Editor: Apparently how much noise the residents make will determine the action by the traffic police. I would like to offer my sympathy to the downtown residents and say that I live on what I have named the “Eighth Street Freeway,” located between Eighth Avenue and Sixth Avenue.

It is a “playground zone,” but no one observes the 30 km/h speed limit. Now the city has paved this area, so the traffic is able to speed even faster.

Can the traffic police not monitor these areas? Or put a speed camera up. Or even enlarge the signs, which remain hidden and small. I do not believe that the police have enough members to monitor speed or any other traffic concerns.

News ELECTION 2021

New West-Burnaby candidates talk climate change

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster-Burnaby’s Green, Liberal and NDP candidates agree Canada needs to address the climate crisis – but they don’t all agree on how it should be done.

Environmental groups joined forces to host a Sept. 7 all-candidates meeting that focused on the climate crisis. About 60 people attended the online event, including candidates David Macdonald (Green), Rozina Jaffer (Liberal) and Peter Julian (NDP).

Macdonald said the 45th parliament of Canada will likely feature another minority government, whether that’s a Conservative or a Liberal government. If elected, he said the “bare minimum”

another party would have to agree to in order to win his support is to immediately terminate construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline and to immediately discontinue all subsidies to fossil fuel companies.

“I would be prepared to bring down the government, to immediately force another election … with the focus being the climate crisis,” he said.

Jaffer said former B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver and an SFU professor familiar with the various parties’ plans are among the people who have endorsed the Liberals’ climate plan. She said the Liberal party has an “excellent platform” on climate change and plans to transition away from fossil fuels.

“The Liberal plan is

Green New Deal,” he said.

“It is not a gradual transition; we are past gradual transitions.We have seen the destructive impacts of the climate impacts this summer.We are past the idea that somehow we can just muddle along for another couple of decades.”

Jaffer, however, is confident the Liberals have the best plan to address the climate crisis.

“Mr. Julian talks about the Green New Deal,” she said, “but the reality is we have a real workable plan, one that has already been estimated to cost the least and to get us there the fastest.”

TMX: STAY THE COURSE OR CANCEL? Both Macdonald and Julian want the federal government to cancel construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Community SAVE THE DATE: SEPT. 19

TERRY FOX RUN

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

The 41st annual Terry Fox Run is taking place in communities across Canada, including New Westminster, on Sunday, Sept. 19.

“The Terry Fox Foundation has now raised over $850 million for cancer cure research,” said Dr. Kathy Jones, who organizes the local run. “Terry’s legacy lives on and his story continues to inspire people in Canada and around the world.”

TELL US ABOUT THIS YEAR’S RUN:

Like last year, community members will not gather in New Westminster for the annual Terry Fox Run because of the pandemic. But that doesn’t mean they can’t support the cause.

“Participants are

encouraged to walk, run, wheel or cycle the distance of their choice, solo or with others in their bubbles, wherever they are on Sunday,” Jones said. “All of this is to try to optimize safety of participants during the ongoing COVID pandemic. We sure hope to be able to gather safely for next year’s run!”

TELL US ABOUT THE NEW WEST RUN:

“Last year, the New Westminster run raised an impressive $17,147.72 in the community and $16,519.22 in the school events for a grand total of $33,666.94,” Jones said in an email.

“Way to go New Westminster! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Jones said the New West Terry Fox community lost a stalwart supporter when Deb Jacques died

from her cancer in March of this year.

“Deb raised over $70,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation through her many years of participation and fundraising. She did this to honour a close friend who died of cancer many years ago. Deb carried on her efforts even when struck with cancer herself a few years ago,” Jones said. “She is one of the many people I will be remembering when I run on the 19th.”

WHY DO YOU ORGANIZE THIS EVENT?

This year marks Jones’ 13th year as the organizer of the run in New West.

“It is an honour and a pleasure to help the Terry Fox Foundation and to help local residents have a place to support Terry’s dream of finding cures for cancer,” she said. “Terry is a hero of epic proportions for me.”

many of you are,TMX, which is a massive, colossal boondoggle, an incredible financial hole that also has the added impacts of threatening the environment of the Salish Sea, and above all will increase mightily our greenhouse gas emissions,” he said. “If we are already the worst in

the G7,TMX will make it far, far worse.”

Jaffer, however, said the federal government needs to look at the “big picture” and consider how to transition away from fossil fuels in a way that’s fair for everyone. As much as she wishes it wasn’t the case, she said the current reality

is that people are still driving cars and are very dependent on fossil fuels.

“All of the money that is being raised from TMX is actually going to the clean environment section, to try and come up with energies that are cleaner,” she said. “I understand where you guys are com-

Macdonald, however, said the TMX expansion project isn’t about providing fossil fuels for Canadians, as it’s carrying a product that’s being exported abroad.

“It’s not going to go to Asia. At present, there is only one buyer for the tar sands, and that is the same buyer that we’ve always had – the United States; they have the capacity to deal with tar sands,” he said. “I don’t see China, Malaysia or any Asian

OBITUARIES

RADBOURNE, Robert February 12, 1935 − September 3, 2021 It is with sadness we announce the passing of Bob on September 3, 2021. He passed peacefully at RCH surrounded by his family. Bob will be greatly missed and remembered by his wife of 62 years, Wilma; children, Sandra (Brent) and Brent; grandchildren, Alyssa (Andrew) and Josh (Cassidy); great−grandchild, Nathan; and siblings, Florence and Barb. He is predeceased by Val; Doug; his twin brother, Frank; Loraine; and Bill.

Bob was a Burnaby Firefighter for 36 years, rising to the rank of Assistant Chief. Bob enjoyed golfing, curling, and fishing. He also enjoyed traveling the world with Wilma, and they shared many adventures and special memories with family and friends. Bob was very involved at Gordon Presbyterian Church in Burnaby. He was on the Board of Managers and Treasurer for many years.

Bob was a fighter. He battled many illnesses, including Parkinson’s. He fought to the end, but is now at rest, and will be greatly missed by many.

SIDDON, Shirley Ann (nee: Lewis) February 8, 1939 - September 9, 2021 Shirley was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to loving parents Norma and Harvey Lewis. Shirley loved playing cards, completing puzzles, and enjoyed morning coffee visits at the local MacDonalds, but especially liked getting away from it all with her family at their Timothy Lake cabin.

OBITUARIES

OBITUARIES

LEE, Sum It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sum Lee on September 5, 2021. Sum was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He is survived by his wife Helen of 51 years, sons Vay, Keith (Tamara) and Kyle (Janice) and five grandchildren Matthew, Briana, Lucy, Naomi and Adina.

He passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his wife and sons at his side.

Sum was a kind, quiet and unassuming man who was fiercely devoted to his family. He fled South Vietnam at the end of the Vietnam War with his young family and made his way to Canada in August of 1975 as refugees, with the dream of building a new life in BC. He worked at Gray Beverage (Pepsi) for nearly 20 years, eventually retiring in 1996.

After retirement, he embarked on a new “career”, acting as a project manager and building five houses for himself and other family members. In between building houses, Sum and Helen travelled the globe with stops in South and Central America, Continental and Eastern Europe/Balkans, India, China, Southeast Asia and North Africa just to name a few destinations.

An avid swimmer and ping pong player, he could be found along with his wife at CG Brown or Eileen Daily Pools at 6 am every morning hanging out with other retirees, which he affectionately called his “swimming friends”. He was also involved in helping out with the childcare of his grandchildren, whenever he was asked.

COMMUNITY

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to the BC Cancer Agency or Diabetes Canada.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The family would like to thank Dr. Marazzi and the team at Mission Home Health Care - Natasha, Jo-Ellen and Alba, who were all so compassionate and supportive. Also, thank you to the kind, dedicated staff at Mission Memorial Hospital.

604.444.3056

By family request, there will be no funeral service.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair

Peter was born in Vancouver to Olive and Peter Costanzo. Peter and Joy, his beloved wife of 62 years, are survived by their three children: Dale, Carol, and Michael; five grandchildren: Amos, Rana, Charlotte, Caitlin, and Brody; and two great grandchildren: Caleb and Evelyn. Peter is also survived by his two younger brothers: Ron and Geoff.

Peter and Joy loved to travel. His employment for 30 years as a P. Eng. for H.A. Simons took Peter and his family all over the world. After retirement Peter began backpacking. He completed the West Coast Trail three times and hiked the Patagonian mountains among many other feats. Peter spent his later years volunteering at the long-term care residence where Joy eventually lived. Dedicated to his wife, Peter visited Joy on a daily basis until she died.

Peter touched many lives through his jokes and stories, patience, generosity and positive outlook on life.

Thank you to the staff at Thornebridge Gardens for all of their care and support.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation is appreciated.

A Celebration of Peter’s Life will be held on Sunday, October 3rd at 1:00 PM at the LOWER Hume Park picnic shelter located at 660 East Columbia Street, New Westminster, BC.

Sum left behind a legacy of children and grandchildren who loved him dearly and will cherish his memory forever.

Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, (Albert) Murray Siddon of Mission, and by her daughter Holly (Ken), her son Gordi (Roxanne), grandsons Anthony (Katie), Jordan (Christina), Nick (Krissy), great-granddaughters Payton and Giorgia.

She is also survived by her brother-in-law Chris Price, nephews Kevin and Perry Whitcher, niece Norma Whitcher. She is predeceased by her parents and sister, Jean Whitcher.
