REMEMBRANCE

Students pay tribute by placing poppies

Photos by Cornelia Naylor More than 350 students from two New Westminster schools turned out in the pouring rain at Fraser Cemetery to pay tribute to fallen soldiers on Nov. 4.

The students, in grades 2 through 5, were part of the annual No Stone Left Alone project.

No Stone Left Alone is an educational initiative that brings youth from across Canada out to recognize the sacrifices of Canada’s military men and women – through the simple act of placing poppies on their gravestones.

The students from Skwo:wech and École Herbert Spencer elementary schools were joined by Canadian Armed Forces members and cadets of the Royal Westminster Regiment, plus representatives from the Royal Canadian Legion and community organizations including Rotary Club, Hyack Festival Association and Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral.

Together they placed more than 450 poppies in the military section of the cemetery.

City ENVIRONMENT

New West students stage climate strike Julie MacLellan jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

“We’ll go back to class when you stop the greenhouse gas.”

“No more coal, no more oil, keep the carbon in the soil.”

The chants carry on the uptown air as a crowd of nearly 100 New Westminster Secondary School students marches their way from the school along Sixth Street to MLA Jennifer Whiteside’s office.

They’re fired up and ready to deliver their message: If adults aren’t going to do something about climate change, then they will.

“In refusing to attend school this afternoon, we are acknowledging the severity of our climate action.With the threat of environmental disaster looming over our heads as we sit in class, we are all becoming painfully aware that our education is not the only thing at stake,” the students wrote in a letter they hand-delivered to the offices of New West’s provincial and federal representatives – Whiteside and MP Peter Julian – on

Friday, Nov. 5.

For Veronica Popova, one of the student organizers of the climate strike, the time was ripe for action.

With COP26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, on in Glasgow at this moment, Popova said it’s time to drive home the message that the unfulfilled promises from the Paris climate agreement of 2015 need to be acted upon – now.

“We thought it would be a great opportunity for activism,” she said. “I feel like it’s really easy to get caught up in the idea that these things don’t make a difference. But I think apathy and inaction are, ultimately, just worse.”

Her colleague, Elena Massing, said she was pushing the message of action to students who were reluctant to join the march because of the academics they might miss.

“Will that biology quiz really matter if all of the things that we’re fighting for don’t change?” she said, noting it’s on her generation to do something.

“We have the perspective of youth who are actually

going to face the brunt of the consequences.”

The students were buoyed by the turnout at the march – Popova had hoped that perhaps 20 of her peers would be willing to step out – and by the reaction from passersby, as pedestrians and drivers honked, waved and cheered in support.

They didn’t speak to either of the elected officials (they hadn’t made ap-

pointments to see them, Popova noted), but they did drop off letters asking for action on the part of the provincial and federal governments. And they held a brief rally outside Whiteside’s office, delivering their message about the need to transition to a green economy, to improve climate literacy in schools, to make public transit free for all and to stop projects such as Fairy

Creek logging and the Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion.

Their signs – “Life in plastic isn’t fantastic”; “The sea is rising, and so are we”; “If you don’t act like adults, we will” – earned them thumbsup from passersby who stopped to see what all the ruckus was about.

And, as most of the students headed back to school for D Block classes,

Popova and Massing set out for Julian’s downtown office with a sense of relief that it had all gone well – and an optimism that, in the end, they had made a difference.

Even if it doesn’t lead to immediate, concrete change, Popova said, they spoke out – and people heard.

That, she says, has to matter.

COURT

Pharmacy facing lawsuit over reused syringes

Julie MacLellan jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

A NewWestminster pharmacy is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit over allegations that it reused syringes to administer COVID-19 vaccines to patients last summer.

The lawsuit, filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Oct. 13, arises from vaccinations that took place between Aug. 24 and 26, 2021 at Kent Pharmacy on Columbia Street.The notice of claim says patients who received their vaccines on those days were notified about a month later (on or about Sept. 22) that the syringes

had been reused. (The “syringe” refers to the plastic tube containing the vaccine solution, not the actual needle.)

“As a result, patients were advised that they could be at risk of contracting blood-borne illnesses and needed to be tested three times over the course of the next three months,” says the notice of claim.

The plaintiff named in the notice is Marie Powell, an education assistant who lives in NewWestminster.

The suit says she has “sustained personal injury, loss and damage and, in particular, has sustained: a. Mental injuries; and

b. Such further and other injuries as may become apparent through medical reports, testing and examinations, details of which shall be provided as they become known.”

Powell’s suit is seeking an order certifying it as a class action, with her as representative plaintiff. It asks for general damages, special damages, damages for lost income and loss of opportunity, damages for loss of past and future earning capacity, aggravated damages and punitive damages. It also seeks to recover the costs of future care, costs of the action and the recovery of health-care costs incurred

by the Ministry of Health, on their behalf.

The notice of claim names three defendants: Kent Pharmacy, pharmacist/pharmacy manager Bhanu Prasad Seelaboyina and pharmacy owner Fabina Kara.

“As a result of the defendants’ failure to use reasonable care, skill and diligence in and about the treatment of the plaintiff and other class members, the plaintiff and other proposed class members suffer, at a minimum, mental injuries and alteration of lifestyles as a result of potential exposure to illnesses. Further, the plaintiff and proposed class

members may in fact develop illnesses that could seriously harm them and impair their functioning, and possibly cause death,” the notice of claim says.

As ofWednesday morning’s press deadline, no response to the claim had been filed.The allegations have not yet been tested in court.

Seelaboyina was also the subject of a complaint to the B.C. College of Pharmacists. A complaint outcome posted on the college’s website notes that: “The registrant has admitted to using the same syringe barrel for multiple patients while administering COVID-19 vac-

cinations between August 24, 2021 and August 26, 2021.This conduct occurred while he was in a leadership role as a pharmacy manager.”

A College of Pharmacists inquiry committee reached an agreement with Seelaboyina that places conditions on his practice, pending an investigation into his conduct, “until further notice.”

He is required “to not act in the role of a pharmacy manager” and “to not administer drugs or substances by injection and/or intranasal route.”

The college has also revoked his drug administration certification.

Heritage Revitalization Agreement (Bylaw No. 8262, 2021) and Heritage Designation (Bylaw No. 8263, 2021) for 515 St. George Street.

WHAT ARE THESE BYLAWS ABOUT?

A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) application has been received for 515 St. George Street (shown in bold on the adjacent map) in order to allow a laneway house at the rear of the property. The laneway house would be a single-storey fully accessible building of 77 sq. m.

(830 sq. ft.) and meet the design guidelines for new construction in the Queens Park Heritage Conservation area. The HRA would allow relaxations to the Zoning bylaw for the property to allow the laneway house, including a reduction in parking spaces from two to one. In exchange, minor restoration work would be completed on the heritage house and the property would be protected through a Heritage Designation Bylaw.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan hits big BC NDP milestone

Last week was cause for both celebration and deep concern for B.C. Premier John Horgan.

The week began with his announcement that he had throat cancer and it ended with him becoming the longest-serving NDP premier in B.C. history.

One development is decidedly unwanted, while the other marks an enviable milestone. In this column, I will examine both.

Despite the cancer finding, Horgan is still a busy premier, albeit out of the public eye. He is doing many things (such as addressing caucus or cabinet) virtually or via the phone.

He remains optimistic about his situation, which is characteristic of him.

“My prognosis is good and I expect to make a full recovery,” he said in announcing the news.

We texted each other and he said he considers his cancer “a bump along the road.”Then he added: “I have had many bumps and am better for the journey.”

His optimism and positivity is genuine. I can say that with some authority, having known him for more than 25 years.

When he begins radiation treatment, he may slow down a bit, but we are entering the time of year when government operations (as in cabinet and committee work) also begin to slow down. I will not be surprised to see him back at the legislature full-time in the NewYear.

As for breaking the record for service as an NDP premier, who saw that coming back before the 2017 election that would end up with him moving into the premier’s office?

He had already served longer than Dave Barrett, Glen Clark, Dan Miller and Ujjal Dosanjh and last week he bested Mike Harcourt’s length of term.

Barrett brought in visionary and lasting legislation (establishing ICBC and the Agriculture Land Commission are just two of many accomplishments). Harcourt’s legacy includes his government’s expansion of provincial parkland and its overhaul of forestry practices.

Clark’s term was cut short by scandal, while Miller and Dosanjh were not in office long enough to establish legacies.

Horgan’s list of accomplishments so far include the enshrinement into law of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (which has far-reaching implications), an overhaul of the auto insurance system, and leading the province through an extraordinary pandemic.

He also led his party to majority government status with it making historical breakthroughs by winning seats in places like Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley. He has altered the electoral map in ways seldom seen before.

Horgan is not done yet, by any means. I am sure he is itching to get things going again when his radiation treatment ends towards the end of December.

His government finds itself dealing with some political bush fires – deferring a huge amount of old growth timber from being logged and overhauling the funding model for autism treatment are just two recent ones – and there is no doubt his leadership will be needed internally in dealing with them.

He defied expectations when he turned an uncertain election outcome in 2017 into a minority government.

I suspect he will defy his throat cancer as well. I wish him all the best.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should pineapple go on pizza?

“Only works if the pineapple is fresh and juicy, then it can go on pizza with the ham.”

School celebrates 100 years

Among the folks registered to attend the 100th anniversary of Richard McBride School in May were two teachers who had started teaching there in the 1920s: Mae White, 1923-1947, and Jean Taylor, 1929-1939.

More than 1,300 people planned to attend the May 12 celebration, which organizers said would feature several exhibits, including a May Day room with photos of the former May Queens and a classroom with a slide show.

The school has since been renamed Skwo:wech Elementary School.

Hope is not a strategy

Editor: Re: New West takes action to address concerns about livability, Record News Hope is not a strategy.

Yet, sadly, that pretty much sums up the most recent attempt by our elected officials at city hall, who continue to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the rapidly deteriorating situation unfolding in our once vibrant and active downtown.

To label a recent staff report endorsed by Mayor Jonathan Cote as a strategy would be laughable, if it were not for the sad reality this has become life or death for so many homeless people, and a critical situation for many of our small business owners who are teetering on the brink of financial ruin.

If you haven’t been downtown lately, you’re not alone. If the prospect of ill-timed sewer construction on Columbia Street in the middle of a pandemic wasn’t enough, no doubt significantly increased crime, open drug use and the use of side streets as open toilets might be.

Our elected officials can’t blame COVID-19. It wasn’t the pandemic that triggered shuttered buildings which have sat empty for years. Our downtown has been neglected for well over a decade by elected officials who clearly lack

vision and foresight and have run out of ideas regarding how to get things moving in a positive direction once again.

They often seem more interested in passing motions and endlessly debating topics that have more to do with provincial, federal and international politics rather than dealing with the critical issues facing them right at home.

Cote should be rolling up his sleeves, collaborating with the private sector and getting council to come up with real solutions that will address the root causes of what we are witnessing on our streets. Rather, he is now openly musing about local taxpayers coming to the rescue.

In a recent interview with the CBC’s Our Vancouver, Cote offered a glimpse into one possible solution being cooked up to revitalize our downtown. He suggested if there was an identified need, city taxpayers may start buying up those privately owned derelict and underused buildings in our downtown.

As they say, hope is not a strategy. In the case of New Westminster, even our supposed strategy falls far short of what is needed to get our historic downtown back on its feet again.

NewWestminster school trustees aren’t backing down on their decision not to mandate vaccines for staff – and not all parents are happy about that.

On Oct. 27, the school board issued a public statement saying it had decided not to proceed with the mandate.

That decision didn’t sit well with parents who turned out at the Nov. 9 operations committee meeting.

Parent Marlayne Metzker questioned the logic of her being required to have a vaccine in order to serve as manager for a youth soccer team – a job that is done outside, for a

few hours a week, without close contact with players – while teachers aren’t required to get one to spend days in enclosed spaces with full classrooms.

Kathleen Carlsen, chair of the district parent advisory council, said she’s been hearing from many parents who are “really upset” about the decision.

She suggested the board might want to look at the issue again.

Parent Laura Kwong, too, questioned whether the board would be willing to revisit the decision in light of new information about the transmissibility of the Delta variant and the fact that 80% to 90% vaccination rates may no longer be high enough to stop the spread.

Trustee Danielle Connelly, who chairs the operations committee, told parents the board’s decision – which was made in a closed meeting – was based on advice from public health officials.

“Those decisions can change quite rapidly if new information becomes available,” she said.

Parent AnneWhitmore said it would be helpful to know how trustees arrived at their decision and when they would revisit it, with a firm date commitment.

School board chair Gurveen Dhaliwal said discussion around the issue had been done behind closed doors because it involves labour relations – one of the grounds for holding debates in-camera

rather than in public. And she said that, at this point, the board has not received new guidance from public health officials, so revisiting the issue is not on their radar.

Trustee Dee Beattie said she had been in favour of a vaccine mandate until she realized how problematic it could be – particularly given that staff have not been shown to be the drivers of transmission in schools. She pointed to the workload involved in accommodating those staff and trying to fill their positions for “a very small amount” of gain.

“The disruption to our classrooms would be intense,” she said.

Arts & Entertainment Martha Wainwright coming to Massey Theatre Canadian folk artist opens up about love, motherhood and moving on, as she gears up for her tour. Catch her onstage Nov. 16 Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

“The house is becoming a mess again.”

Her voice is warm and genuine, carrying the tone of cheerful resignation shared by working mothers the world over.With that one light-hearted confession, MarthaWainwright reveals herself to be not so much an internationally recognized singer-songwriter as, well, a human being: a working mom grappling with the day-to-day complications of life as best she can, in a world where very little ever goes as planned.

Wainwright is on the phone from Ursa, her café and music venue in Montreal. She’s taking some time out to talk about her upcomingWest Coast tour before heading out to a show in Quebec City.

The folk artist will be in NewWestminster for a show at Massey Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 16.

The LoveWill Be Reborn tour is introducing audiences toWainwright’s latest album, her first in five years.

Though it didn’t begin as a pandemic album, perhaps it was inevitable that LoveWill Be Reborn, recorded in the basement-turned-studio at

the conversation at

Facebook.com /NewWestRecord

Ursa, carries echoes of what the world has gone through over the past 20 months.

“It’s really mirrored some of the things we have to face now, as a society. How do we keep going?What is the way out and forward and better?”

Wainwright muses. “Life is hard, but it is something you have to get through.”

At its heart, LoveWill Be Reborn is a deeply personal work forWainwright.

It is, she says, her “middle-aged” record: the album that explores the realities of being 45.

“There’s still joy.There’s still laughter and fun and edge,”Wainwright says.

“But there’s still the really painful things: emotions to manage; fear; the fact of the end and death and how to go forward; the passage of time … and once again hoping that love and friendship and positive feelings for people wins out.”

As has always been the case forWainwright, the album is a mirror of her own life – most notably, in recent years, her divorce from her producer husband, Brad Albetta.

“Music, and expressing, and singing, and being able to talk about stuff, is a way to get through it,” she says. “Love will prevail;

that is hopefully the main objective.”

She doesn’t shy away from the down sides – like not seeing her two children and how difficult that was, expressed in the poignant track Report Card.

But, ultimately, her focus is on how to navigate a way forward when things don’t go as planned.

MOTHERHOOD MUSINGS Take the reality of sharing custody of her two sons, which is already hard enough.

“Add on to that a sort of an unconventional work schedule, and having to tour and things like that, and it becomes even more complicated,” she says.

If it’s one of her weeks with the kids and she’s working that week? She tries to bring them along with her, when it makes sense. She wants them to know, she says, that she’ll always come back. And

she wants them to know that the late nights and travel are, in fact, her job.

It’s the kind of job that sometimes makes it hard to be around for the ordinary “mom” things like parent-teacher conferences and school events.

“It’s also really hard to be a mother and an artist and a singer and a traveller, because people don’t like it,” she says. “They don’t understand it. It’s uncomfortable.”

None of that, of course, is new toWainwright, who grew up as the child of folk music royalty: her dad is American singer-songwriter LoudonWainwright III; her mom, Canadian folk star Kate McGarrigle.

And, yes, her older brother is RufusWainwright, and, yes, the decades of sibling rivalry have turned into what she characterizes as “a sort of angry, resentful, mutual respect: ‘It’s annoying that you’re good, but I’ll give it to you.’”

As with so much else in life, she can laugh about it, even while sighing about the complications of family and relationships and just plain life.

“You want to make other people happy and your children’s lives perfect and your house perfect and whatever, but at

STAR POWER: Martha Wainwright is onstage at the Massey Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 16. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

the same time, you say, ‘The most important thing is that I’m happy, that I’m OK or I’m not going to be able to do any of this. I’m going to burn out. I’m going to crack,’” she says.

Thus the mess that’s building up in her house again as she gears up for the tour that begins Nov. 11 in Hollywood.

She’ll be backed by the Toronto-based musicians who also played on the album,Thom Gill, Phil Melanson and Josh Cole,

and she’s enthusiastic about the act that’s opening for them,Toronto indie-pop band Bernice.

“It’s going to be amazing,” she says with an infectious laugh. “It’s a really fun show.”

The music will cover “some lows and some highs,” she says. But, ultimately, there’s a vibe of hope.

“There’s a lift-off,” she promises.

Rather, in the end, like life.

Temporary Use Permit for 502 Columbia Street (TUP00027) WHAT IS THIS TEMPORARY USE PERMIT ABOUT?

The Lower Mainland Purpose Society has applied for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) to operate an emergency shelter on the lower floor of the former Army and Navy Department Store, located at 502 Columbia Street. The emergency shelter could comprise an Extreme Weather Response Program (EWRP) shelter, which would be operational from November 1 to March 31 and activated during extreme weather events, or an Emergency Response Centre shelter, which would operate 24/7 for up to 18-months or until new supportive housing is in place. The shelter would: provide up to 50 mats or beds, serve adults, could offer support services, and would be accessed from Front Street.

A TUP is required, as an emergency shelter is not a permitted use under the current C-8 zone (Columbia Street Historic Comprehensive Development District). The proposed TUP would allow the emergency shelter to operate for three years, with an option to renew for an additional three years subject to Council consideration.

City Coroner investigating death of New West COVID-denier Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A COVID-denying New West man who has been on trial for violating federal quarantine legislation has been found dead.

The New Westminster Police Department has confirmed that patrol members responded to a call last Thursday morning to assist paramedics in the Sapperton neighbourhood.

Mak Parhar was found deceased.

“Upon our members arriving, it was learned that Mr. Parhar was deceased,” said a statement from the NWPD. “A cause of death has not been determined, and this investigation has been assumed by the BC Coroners Service.”

Last month, Parhar posted a video online in

which he said he was experiencing a variety of symptoms, including a sore throat and fatigue. During the video he was coughing and spitting phlegm out of his car window.

A vocal COVID denier and anti-masker, he stated he didn’t have “CONVID,” saying that “CONVID” doesn’t exist. In his most recent video, he stated he was feeling a bit better.

At the time of his death, Parhar was in the midst of a trial in B.C. Supreme Court on three counts of violating federal quarantine legislation.

Parhar was charged under the Quarantine Act after he refused to self-isolate upon his return from a flat Earth conference in Greenville, South Carolina in October 2020.The then

Remembrance Day Lest we forget

47-year-old was charged with three counts of contravening a section of the Quarantine Act, which required him to self-isolate for 14 days upon re-entry into Canada.

On Nov. 1, 2020, Parhar attended a rally in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery, where he was introduced as a “no new-normal, anti-lockdown warrior.”

During an eight-minute speech, he said “people die all the time,” but they’re not dying of COVID because “COVID doesn’t exist.”

Parhar first made headlines in March 2020 when the City of Delta suspended the business licence for his yoga studio, after it failed to adhere to COVID-19 regulations such as physical distancing.

We thank all veterans and those currently serving, for everything they have done for this country and our community. We honour their service and their sacrifice and never forget their extraordinary bravery.

Business Regulation and Licensing (Rental Units) Amendment Bylaw No. 8302, 2021 WHAT IS THIS BYLAW ABOUT?

Business Regulation and Licensing (Rental Units) Amendment Bylaw No. 8302, 2021 amends the Business Regulations and Licensing (Rental Unit) Bylaw by removing Part 6 of the bylaw. Part 6 was enacted by City Council in May 2019 to deter renovictions and provide protection to those tenants who may be displaced by large scale renovation work. The amendment was successful and resulted in a significant decrease in the number of reported renovictions and inquiries of concern. In July 2021 the Province introduced new legislation that amended the Residential Tenancy Act for the purpose of addressing renovictions. The new legislation requires landlords to apply for dispute resolution to obtain an Order to End Tenancy and an Order of Possession of the units.

This process does not require a Notice to End Tenancy and, since the trigger in the City’s Part 6 provisions is the issuance of the Notice to End Tenancy, the current Part 6 is rendered inoperative. Good public administration includes updating bylaws that are

inoperative and do not serve a purpose.

Community Emily Goss shares her story for local fundraiser

NewWest resident was hit by a drunk driver in England in June 2019. Now she’s giving back to help the centre that helped her Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

“Good. Really good.”

That’s how Emily Goss describes how she’s doing, nearly two-and-a-half years after being hit by a drunk driver in London, England on June 16, 2019.

Suffering a brain injury that left her in a medically-induced coma, she was flown home in an air ambulance. Her family was told she had a 5% chance of survival and might never walk or talk again.

“When people say, ‘Wow, so amazing, you’ve done so much,’ I don’t really realize it,” she says.

After spending two months at Royal Columbian Hospital, Goss was transferred to Queen’s Park Care Centre, where she embarked on a rigorous regime of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

“I was really depressed during that time because I was confused about why the heck I was there. I didn’t really understand what had happened to me.

I was happy to be alive, but I was really struggling; really sad as to why I was there,” she says. “I actually turned off my phone because I didn’t want to know what was going on outside of the hospital.”

Goss was discharged from Queen’s Park Care Centre in time for Christmas 2019. She’s made tremendous progress in her recovery, but the journey continues.

“Now I’m doing speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy. I get a massage every Friday, so massage therapy,” she says.

“It’s kind of like a full-time job now.”

Walks and bike rides – activities doctors once thought Goss might never

be able to do again – are among her favourite pastimes.

Goss, who was 24 at the time of the accident, was visiting friends in England, where she had previously lived for a couple of years.

Goss attributes her desire to travel again, as well as the support of her family and her boyfriend of six years, as motivating her during the tough times.

She’s still looking forward to travelling, but she has other plans, too.

“I honestly just really want to help people who maybe are in the same situation, so really talk about it more,” she says.

Goss will be doing just that at An Evening with Emily Goss, a fundraiser for the Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation that’s taking place on Friday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. at Inn at the Quay.Tickets are $125 (includes a $75

Reaching out: Emily Goss is speaking at a fundraiser on Nov. 19. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

tax receipt) and include a dinner and an evening of inspiration and celebration with Goss and her family.

Lynn Radbourne, a director on the Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation’s board, said the fundraiser includes a “fireside chat” type of event after dinner with Goss, her parents and her boyfriend. A friend of the family will be asking questions, and audience members can also

pass along questions to the narrator.

Warren Goss, Emily’s dad, is creating a video that chronicles her journey of the past two-and-ahalf years. “lt was so bad, but it could have ended up worse,” Radbourne says.

“But through Emily’s will and determination, and with all the help she’s gotten, not only from the doctors in England but here at Queen’s Park with her rehab and everything, now she’s coming along really well. Really well.”

People who have followed the family’s journey will be “absolutely blown away” at Goss’s progress, Radbourne said.

According to Radbourne, a couple of doctors have purchased tickets and donated them to some patients in the rehabilitation program at Queen’s

City City eyes ‘pedestrian scramble’ for Sixth and Sixth Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A “pedestrian scramble” at Sixth and Sixth is one of the concepts being considered as part of the Uptown Sixth Street Public Realm improvement projects.

The City of NewWestminster has kicked off public engagement about the projects, and it’s hosting a pop-up event outside the London Drugs inWestminster Centre on Sunday, Nov. 21 from noon to 4 p.m.

“This block of Sixth Street is the heart of uptown, and this project will see a complete reimagining of this important area,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote in a news release. “Many improvements are planned that will enhance the experience, comfort and accessibility for all users of this section of Sixth Street, as

well as allow for exciting flexible uses such as outdoor events.”

The initiative would see Sixth Street, between Sixth Avenue and Belmont Street, reimagined to orient the street toward pedestrian uses, including more flexible uses of Sixth Street and improved accessibility, the release said.

Proposed features include widened sidewalks, improved lighting, more seating options and temporary road closures for special events. It also envisions a “pedestrian scramble” at Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue, which would see all vehicle traffic stopped while pedestrians can cross in all directions at the same time.

These upcoming changes take direction from the vision outlined in city’s Uptown Streetscape Vision, which was en-

dorsed by city council in November 2020.The vision’s plan is to “create a vibrant commercial district with a distinct identity, accessible and sustainable transportation, as well as inviting and engaging public spaces that are welcoming to all people.”

According to the city, both the Sixth Street Public Realm Improvements and a related project, the Uptown Active Transportation Improvements, align with the city’s master

transportation plan goals and Seven Bold Steps for Climate Action.

The city has been consulting with community members about the active transportation improvements planned in the uptown.These include upgrades to the Rotary Crosstown Greenway (along Seventh Avenue, between Eighth and Fifth streets) – including the replacement of the interim bike lanes that were installed on Seventh Avenue

in 2017.

That plan also includes a cycling connection from the Rotary Crosstown Greenway on Seventh Avenue to NewWestminster Secondary School, with the goal of making it more convenient and safe for students, staff and visitors to access NWSS. “A key goal of these projects is to realize the opportunities for vibrant public streets and areas that are safe, accessible and enjoyable for all our

community members,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone, chair of the facilities, infrastructure and public realm committee. “We invite everyone to participate in the engagement activities and share which features that are most important to them so we can ensure the future space meets the needs of all users.”

Making purchases with purpose We are your online shopping assistant. Discover more reviews, tips, and awesome shopping guides at newwestrecord.ca/endorsed

D

o you find yourself scrolling through hundreds of product reviews before bedtime, unsure if you should add to cart?

Save time and stress researching your next online purchase with our shopping guide, Endorsed.

Endorsed is the ideal shopping companion; the go-to source that scouts for deals, uncovers new hero products and spots trends that are about to dominate your social feed. We want to help you score a pair of designer jeans in the discount bin and find a set of I-don’t-know-how-I-lived-withoutit bedding that makes life a little dreamier with the click of a button.

What Makes Our Recommendations Reliable?

Our team of product testers, researchers and recommenders will be led by Maria Tallarico, an experienced lifestyle editor and culture writer who was part of Canada’s first push into digital lifestyle

content. We’ll be your online shopping buddy, helping you find the ‘one great thing’ that you can brag about in the group text. When we don’t know the answer to a question, we’ll find it by tapping into a list of experts, tastemakers and pretty smart people who will help us on our searches.

It’s Online Shopping, How Hard Can It Be? There’s a reason “when you order it online vs. when it arrives” is a meme – there’s a lot of junk on the Internet that hides behind glossy marketing. With so many online shopping options, our team will do the heavy lifting for you, from testing products to targeting the best deals to comparing similar items to falling down research rabbit holes (a.k.a. Reddit) for detailed reviews.

We will offer practical tips like fit notes and flag potential online shopping pitfalls (like long shipping waits, surprise duty charges and scammy

Instagram ads). All of the items we recommend will go through several rounds of “is this worth it?” debate and be held to the highest standard (which doesn’t necessarily mean the highest price point).

We are not an algorithm and we don’t have any stake in the products we select, although we may receive a small commission for purchases you make—all which goes back into supporting our newsrooms to continue to tell great stories about our communities.

We also take personal shopping requests: searching for eco-friendly laundry soap made in Canada?

Looking for a coffee maker that rivals your favourite pour over? In desperate need of a last-minute birthday gift for a tween?

Reach out at mtallarico@glaciermedia.ca and our team will do our best to make your life a little easier.
