City to review B.C. smoking bylaws Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster wants to take a look at smoking bylaws in other B.C communities.

Council approved a motion from Mayor Jonathan Cote have staff conduct a review and scan of smoking bylaws in B.C. municipalities. Staff will report back to council with a preliminary assessment and options to enhance the city’s smoking bylaws.

Cote said his motion stems from a presentation made to the MetroVancouver mayors committee about smoking bylaws across the region.

“It is a bit of a patchwork, with different bylaws across the region,” he said. “Some areas of Metro Vancouver have more recently updated their smoking bylaws and are obviously probably a little bit

ahead of the curve of New Westminster, who hasn’t done a review recently of this work.”

At its November meeting, the MetroVancouver mayors committee received a presentation from Fraser Health Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health and the Action on Smoking and Health advocacy group about the need for a uniform smoking and vaping bylaw.

During the presentation, health officials said a comprehensive plan would include aligning restrictions on smoking and vaping of products like nicotine and cannabis. It’s intended to create smoke-free parks and recreation spaces; public events and markets; playgrounds, sports fields, spray parks, skate parks, etc.; beaches and trails.

The presenters also suggested the region should consider banning smok-

ing in hotel/motel rooms, group living facilities, public housing and new multi-unit housing, as well as hookah smoking in public establishments.

According to health officials, smoking results in 50,000 annual deaths in Canada (20% of all deaths), including 6,000 deaths in B.C.They said one million Canadians are suffering from illnesses as a result of smoking, one in two smokers will die prematurely and secondhand smoke kills 1,000 people annually.

During their presentation to the mayors committee, health officials outlined some of the recent developments relating to smoking bylaws.These include the legalization of cannabis, the increase of recreational vaping among youth, expanded smoking restrictions in outdoor areas, and a TransLink ban

on smoking and vaping anywhere on the public transit system.

The presentation said the purpose of uniform restrictions on smoking and vaping is to reduce modelling of smoking behaviours to children and youth, to maximize protection from secondhand smoke, to make rules easier for people to understand and follow, to simplify enforcement and to reduce litter and wildfires.

Having heard the “worthwhile” presentation, Cote said he’d like city staff to look at work that’s happened in other MetroVancouver and B.C. municipalities in regards to this ever-evolving issue.

“I do think from a public health point of view, certainly NewWestminster wants to be leaders in this regard, and I think we definitely have some areas to be engaged,” he said. “In

terms of bylaw changes, I don’t have anything specific at this point; I’d like staff to do that research and work, but I do think it is important and meaningful work for us to be undertaking.”

Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he’d like staff to report back on the interface between city bylaws and strata rules, noting the city has seen a lot of complaints about smoking in multi-unit housing.

NewWest city council last considered changes to the city’s smoking control bylaw in November 2020, when an applicant wanting to open a hookah lounge approached the city about amending its bylaw. Council, however, supported staff recommendations to stick with the city’s current smoking control bylaw, which prohibits smoking in places like restaurants and retail businesses.

The City of New Westminster’s 2022 budget has received approval from the majority of city council.

At the Jan. 10 meeting, council received a report about the 2022 to 2026 financial plan. Councillors Mary Trentadue and Nadine Nakagawa voted against a staff recommendation to give three readings to the five-yearfinancial plan bylaw, having previously expressed concern that the budget includes an increase in funding for the police department.

The city’s five-year financial plan includes a property tax increase of 4.4% and a $170.1-million capital budget for 2022.

“The 2022 budget and five-year financial plan bylaw builds upon the 2021 public engagement results and continues to deliver on council priorities and the city’s core services, while addressing the implications of emerging needs such as the COVID-19 pandemic and recent extreme weather events,” said Harji Varn, the city’s finance director.

A report to council said the financial plan has been prepared based on the city’s financial policies and budget principles, which strive to find a balance between affordability and providing resources to service a growing community for the long-term. It said the plan advances council’s strategic priorities and the city’s Seven Bold Steps for Climate Action, while staff continues to maintain core services and manage the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Later in the Jan. 10 meeting, council approved the city’s consolidated financial plan for 2022 to 2026.Trentadue voted against the motion.

6:00 pm

Heritage Revitalization Agreement Bylaw No. 8304, 2022 and Heritage Designation Bylaw No. 8305, 2022 for 323 Regina Street WHAT ARE THESE BYLAWS ABOUT?

A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) is proposed in order to permit a rental infill house which is larger than permitted under the Laneway and Carriage House Program.

Three Zoning Bylaw relaxations are proposed: increased density (0.18 FSR) and a reduced side yard setback (0.9 m. / 3 ft.) for the infill house; and a reduced side yard setback (0.6 m. / 2.1 ft.) to allow the heritage house to remain in its current location. In exchange the 1928 house would be legally protected through a Heritage Designation Bylaw.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

From January 20 to January 31, 2022, copies of the proposed bylaws and related material are available for inspection at Legislative Services, City Hall 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, and online at: www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices

An application has been received to voluntarily protect the Johnston House, built in 1905, with a Heritage Designation Bylaw. This means any future changes to the exterior of the house would require a heritage permit and further development would require approval from the City. No changes to the property’s zoning nor any development are being considered at this time.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Topic: Should gyms stay closed due to COVID-19?

Two years ago this month, a soft-spoken doctor first began her journey as B.C.’s guiding hand in what would soon become an extraordinary pandemic.

And even though she has been the bearer of almost endless bad news, Dr. Bonnie Henry still enjoys the strong support of a solid majority of British Columbians.

A recent Leger poll of more than 1,000 people found her approval rating at 62%, a drop (seven points) from a similar poll in June but still in majority territory. Strengthening her position further was that just 20% expressed non-confidence in her.

Judging from attacks on social media - a toxic medium that does not mirror public opinion on pretty well any issue - her opponents seem mostly limited to anti-vaxxers and those who advocate for a “COVID-zero” approach with widespread restrictions and lockdowns.

B.C. has long been known for its polarized populace, so with that in mind it is somewhat extraordinary that a leader of any sorts would enjoy such a level of support for almost two years.

Henry reported B.C.’s first case of COVID-19 on Jan. 29, 2020.The worldwide pandemic was declared six weeks later.

Her calm, unhurried style of communicating is familiar to pretty well all British Columbians by now. Her briefings and updates continue to captivate a large portion of the public, who still hang on daily case counts, hospitalizations, vaccine progress and on again/off again public health restrictions.

There have been controversies associated with a wide array of issues, such as the wearing of masks, testing strategies for the virus, booster dose intervals and various kinds of re-

“It is an airborne virus so any activity in a closed setting that has increased breathing spreads the virus.”

Most people still back Dr. Henry

strictions.

Public health officials in other provinces have also faced criticism in recent weeks.

However, given that we are all in uncharted territory and have been for what seems an eternity, controversies and even occasional missteps are to be expected.

In any event, controversies or not, the fact remains that B.C. continues to be in a better situation when it comes to various COVID-19 indicators (cases, hospitalizations, ICUs and deaths) than comparable jurisdictions such as Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and various U.S. states.

There seems little question that frustration and fatigue have set in with many people, which no doubt helps explain the slight drop in Henry’s approval rating.Yet whatever the frustration levels may be, they have not translated to any serious pushback to her strategies.

Indeed, when you consider that almost 4.2 million British Columbians have received two doses of vaccine and that about 50,000 people a day are receiving their booster doses, that suggests serious buy-in by the vast majority.

The path ahead remains unclear. Daily cases are declining in B.C., but hospitalizations are expected to increase in number for the next week or so.

After that, who knows?

As we head towards spring and warmer weather, my gut feeling is we will be in a better place than we find ourselves in right now.

And, unless unforeseen disaster strikes, I suspect a majority of British Columbians will continue to back Henry’s approach to things until we are finally out of this.

Drunk man refused more booze

A 52-year-old man wasn’t taking no for an answer at a 10th Street liquor store. Store employees refused to sell the man alcohol because he looked drunk.Then they tried to convince him not to drive, but he didn’t listen. He sat in his car for about five minutes and then revved it up and drove into the side of the building. He then put it into reverse and backed into the Longshoreman’s Union office. Police said he did about $5,000 in damage. Paramedics said the man was still gripping his steering wheel when they arrived.

I turned to art to boost my mental health during the pandemic

Editor: During the Second World War, Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill was asked to cut the arts programs to adequately fund the war effort, to which he responded, “Then what are we fighting for?”

Many of us feel as though these past two years have been akin to a war, or at least a battle. If you are like me, it often feels like we take a few steps forward, followed by a few more steps back, particularly as new variants, such as Delta and Omicron, rear their ugly heads.

Two years later, I don’t think I am alone in feeling like I have been in the midst of a war zone, trying to keep myself, my family, my friends and my community safe during uncertain and unpredictable times.

While we collectively try to preserve and protect our physical health, we cannot lose sight of our mental wellness.

At times during this pandemic, I have felt sad, scared, anxious, depressed, forlorn, hopeless, mad and defeated — often feeling more than one of these emotions at once.

Reflecting on Churchill’s quote, I have come

to realize that the man was onto something, and art might be a much-needed respite to our ongoing struggle.

Will we solve the world’s problems with a bit of paint and paper? No. Might art bring us some light and happiness in these dark, cold, COVID-laden days? Yes, I think so, and there is solid evidence to back this conviction.

Last month, I ordered some coloured pencils, crayons and sketching paper on a whim. I hadn’t done much drawing and colouring since I left elementary school, but I thought, “What the heck!”

When it came in the mail, my heart was delighted, and as I started to colour my less-thanrealistic, stick-figured tree, my soul felt lighter and happier.

I am not claiming that art can solve our problems, but it might help keep our spirits lifted and preserve our mental health. We must hold our public officials accountable for protecting us. But we must also work together to protect our physical and mental wellness so that we can emerge from this pandemic strong and ready to continue our pursuit of a better tomorrow.

Community Together New West moves ‘forward’ with new name Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The electors group formerly known as Together New West is moving forward with a new name.

Elections BC has confirmed that Together New Westminster registered with its office in December 2021, but subsequently updated its name to Forward New West on Dec. 23, 2021.

Gurveen Dhaliwal, who

is currently chair of the New Westminster school board, is listed as the group’s authorized principal official, while Coun.

Patrick Johnstone is listed as its financial agent.

“It’s a placeholder for now, and we will let you know if there are any updates,” Dhaliwal said in email to the Record, in response to questions about the electors group’s new name.

On Dec. 5, the Together

New West Electors Society held its inaugural annual general meeting.

While the group’s commitments included creating affordable housing, engaging in reconciliation and decolonization, addressing the climate emergency and supporting a strong public education system, it stated it would develop a full platform in 2022 before the Oct. 15 civic election.

Dhaliwal and Mayor

Jonathan Cote were quoted in the press release that was sent out to announce the formation of Together New West.

Immediately, the Downtown New West BIA voiced concerns about the group’s name, having launched a “#together newwest” campaign in the spring of 2020 in an attempt to inspire the community during the pandemic.

get tired of people wanting to hear those songs again and again. He’s happy to play for houses full of the 50-and-up folks who remember them from the first time out – and for the young fans of classic rock who’ve discovered them in recent years.

“They’re actually good songs. I’ve written many hundreds of songs, and there aren’t very many that come up to that level,” Henderson says. “They do wear well. Even with the players they wear well.”

He points out it’s easier not to get tired of your own hits when you’re a non-touring band like Chilliwack. Even in non-pandemic times, they tend to play one-off gigs – often at festivals –

“It’s easy to have it remain fresh, to have the whole experience remain fresh,” he says.

And the band doesn’t rest on its laurels. Henderson continues to write music, and the band will offer up a couple of new tunes – Alright and Dusty Old Guitar – that reflect their continued creative growth and social conscience.

“I’m just trying to write things that are about our relationships and how to have good relationships; just trying to have good relationships with other people, with the planet, everything,” Henderson says. “Having a good relationship is a proactive thing.

It’s not accidental.You have to look outside yourself to see what’s needed.”

He knows the band is playing at a time when the planet is in crisis on multiple fronts – from the pandemic to climate change and everything in between. He can’t solve those things, but he says he still has a role to play.

“As a musician, I’ve found it pointless to point fingers. Really, we just need to relax and feel good. As a musician, I can help people feel good.They love music; they love the beat; they love to dance; they love to sing. I can do that,” he says.

“I believe that people who are happy make better decisions than people who are angry.”

Proposed Triplex Project Rezoning and Development permit applications have been submitted tobuild a passive house Triplex at 817 St. Andrews Street.

The proposed triplex design follows the City’s OCP designation residential ground oriented infill housing. The property would be rezoned to a Comprehensive Development (CD) zone from a RS-1 to permit a triplex building.

This design features three carports to provide off-street parking for three vehicles. By building them at the rear access lane, we are able to maximize the green space at the front of building, thus creating a triplex home that blends into the Brow of The Hill neighbourhood.

We are committed to proactively working with the City and licensed professionals to build quality homes that meets or exceeds the requirements of the current building code and City’s bylaws.

City Man charged after attempt to take baby At attempt to take a baby in a stroller and a fight with a motorist were part of a random attack in downtown New Westminster on Friday night.

The New Westminster Police Department says a man has been charged following a series of events that allegedly included

reaching for a baby in a stroller, fighting with the guardian of the child, fighting with a driver after blocking traffic and assaulting a police officer.

About 7:45 p.m. on Friday, Jan 14, the NWPD was called to Sixth and Carnarvon streets for a report of a fight.

Upon arrival, NWPD spokesperson Sgt. Sanjay Kumar said, police learned a suspect had attempted to take a baby and a stroller away from their parents.When they fought off the suspect, Kumar said the man slammed his hands on the hood of a vehicle in traffic,

at which point the driver got out and confronted the suspect.The suspect allegedly spat on an officer while being arrested.

Jamie MacLean, a 46-year-old New West resident, has been charged with one count of mischief and one count of assaulting a police officer.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

DI GESO, Linda M. February 3, 1947 − January 10, 2022

Chris was born in Vancouver and lived there and in North Vancouver for his first eight years and then the family moved to New Westminster. Except for two years, just after their marriage, this was his “Home” town.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Linda DiGeso (Goodrich) on Jan 10, 2022. Linda was born on Feb 3, 1947, in Vancouver, BC. She will be missed by her husband Tony; her three children, Trevor (Sadie), Darren (Laura), Tonia (Ian); and six grandchildren, Angelina, Laila, Sam, Nicco, Daniel and Ben. Linda is predeceased by her brother Don (Sue) and survived by her brother Brian (Linda). A funeral service will be held at St. Michael’s Parish, Burnaby, BC, on Saturday, Jan 22, at 11 am. Due to Covid restrictions, no refreshments will be served after the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson Society of BC (www.parkinson.bc.ca) and Queens Park Healthcare Foundation (www.qphf.org).

In North Vancouver, he lived across the road from the Capilano Tennis Club and upon moving to New West he joined the New Westminster Tennis Club. At 15, he began to coach the younger children at the club and continued as the club pro through his years at university.

EXECUTOR SERVICES

CHONG, Christopher Gayling January 16, 1949 - December 20, 2021 Known to many as either Chris, Mr. Chong or Coach Chong passed away surrounded by family in Laurel Place Hospice in Surrey, British Columbia. He leaves behind his wife of 51 years, Solrun and his loving children Andy Chong, Michael Chong (Kristy), Brian Chong (Kate), Laura Lipon (Gary) and his beloved grandchildren Tiana, Cameron, Hayden, Spencer, Emery, Quinton, Adelynn and Scarlett.

He was a great coach who was ready to teach children and adults alike. His best advice for all those he coached was: “Don’t tell me you can’t, just tell me you’ll try.” For rainy days when the clay courts were unable to be used, he would entertain his students with the card game “Oh Hell”. It was an equal achievement to win the club tennis tournament and the “Oh Hell” tournament at the end of the year.

In 1976, he started work with the Canadian Border Services Agency at the Peace Arch border. He was well respected at the border and finished his career at the downtown Customs Center located in the Main Vancouver Post office.

Even with less time while working at the border, he still managed to play and coach tennis. For many years, he scheduled the C Level Men’s tennis league which involved a lot of checking and rechecking. When he finally decided to stop, the BC Tennis Association gave the next person a computer to work with.

Notice to Creditors − In the estate of Ronald Dean Fraser and Donna Elaine Fraser of West Kelowna, B.C., previously of New Westminster, B.C. All claims against the above estate, duly verified by statutory declaration and with particulars and valuation of security held, if any, must be sent to counsel representing the family.

Contact counsel Brian Coen at briancoen@coenandcompany.ca.

(Solicitor for the Executrix.)

In his early 30’s, he experienced a shoulder injury which slowed his tennis down and he began to play more golf and turn to coaching other sports. The children were playing Soccer, Baseball, Volleyball, Basketball, Lacrosse and Softball. At the district level, he coached Brian and Laura in Soccer and Laura Softball. The coaching staff at New Westminster Secondary School (NWSS) asked him to coach Basketball for Brian’s Junior Team and for Laura’s Grade 8 team. This was an honour for him as he had been a manager for the basketball team when he attended NWSS. It is also the pride of the family that he, his four children and his two oldest grandchildren all attended NWSS. Coaching Laura’s softball team led Chris and Solrun into the world of softball at all levels. He became the president of the New Westminster Softball Association. He was able to increase the number of youths playing softball. He led a team of volunteers in holding the yearly Hyack Girl’s Softball Tournament which attracted teams from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

After making the provincials, he reinstated a Rep B Girl’s team. When Laura stopped playing, he continued to coach younger girl’s teams making it to the provincials more than once.

He and Solrun became fans of the University of Washington Husky’s Women’s Softball team, eventually buying season tickets and following their preseason games. He became an expert in booking great BnB’s. for the tournament cities.

Golf became the other big part of his life. Playing 264 different golf courses was a source of pride, but his biggest joy was playing with his children and grandchildren. Because of the care he received he was able to go on three weekends of golf with his children in the past year - the last one including his 35-week pregnant daughter. He came home to say that was the best weekend of his life. His other great joy was having family dinners or going out for Dim Sum. He was always up for a card game before dinner and ready to be on dish duty after.

The family would like to thank his GP Dr. Warner and Oncologist Dr. Constantine along with the staff of the Oncology team at Royal Columbia Hospital (RCH) for making his last year a good one. Also, thanks to his dentist Dr. Margulius and Oral Surgeon Dr. Villings for relieving the oral issues he suffered during his last few months. As well, we would like to thank the staff on 6 North in RCH and on the Palliative unit at Laurel Place Hospice for their care of him and the family.

He has requested that no funeral be held and in lieu of flowers, please donate blood through Canadian Blood Service or donations to Royal Columbia Hospital Foundation or Laurel Place Hospice.

Condolences for the family may be left at www.kearneyfs.com Kearney Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881
