‘Now or never’: Massey Theatre needs you The Arts Club production of Noises Off is set to open next week. But will audiences embrace the chance to experience live theatre again? Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
It was February of 2020 when Colleen Winton stood with her castmates and said “Curtain” to bring the Arts Club Theatre’s run of Noises Off to an end. She didn’t know it would be two years before she set foot on a stage again. Now, opening night is nearly upon her.The remount of the Arts Club production runs Feb. 15 to 27 at the Massey Theatre – marking the largest show of the season not just in NewWestminster, but on the wider Metro Vancouver theatre scene. For the team behind the production, it’s do-or-die time. “It is now or never,” said Jessica Schneider, the theatre’s executive director. Talking to the Record less than two weeks before opening night, Schneider was feeling “cautiously concerned” about ticket sales. She’s facing the starkness of the arts world’s 2022 reality: There’s no rosy future unless audiences are willing to come back.
“Showing up sends a message to the artistic community that people want those big, fun activities to start again,” Schneider said. The success of this Noises Off run may very well influence decisions by Vancouver theatre companies as they plan for 2022/23. “Right now, the leadership world in the arts is kind of looking around at each other and saying, ‘Should I just sit the next year out?” Schneider said. “Everybody is very dependent on ticket sales.There’s no professional arts organization that’s not dependent upon ticket sales; like, significant ticket sales. “Companies are not going to do big shows anymore if they’re not selling tickets.” Schneider pointed out that a show on the scale of Noises Off – with its large professional cast and extravagant, revolving set – wouldn’t even be taking to the stage right now if it weren’t a remount, because no theatre company could afford to take the financial risk of such a large-scale production.

A closer look Noises Off: ‘I just can’t wait to hear people laugh again’ Continued from page 1 The only reason it’s a go right now is because Schneider talked to the Arts Club back in 2020 about putting the show’s trappings into storage with an eye on bringing it to the Massey that fall. That wasn’t fated to happen.
audience connection. Nothing matters if the audience isn’t here. We know that’s what the audience needs to do, but it’s like everybody’s waiting for that signal to be like, ‘Go back; start acting normal,’” Schneider said. “Those people who know in their hearts that it’s good and that other people should come too?We need that grassroots encouragement to keep going, from that grassroots arts fan, theatre lover, music lover.”

masking in rehearsals.With no understudies, they all know that having one actor out sick means the show wouldn’t go on. “We’re taking it very seriously that we want audiences to be able to come see this show,” she said. Ticket sales are capped at 50% capacity, and Schneider says that won’t change even if health restrictions are relaxed in the next couple of weeks. Sales are arranged to leave space between parties. Vaccine passports are required, and masks must be worn – except in the lounge that’s being set up in Studio 1C (a.k.a. the former small gym in the Massey wing at NWSS).That room will be licensed for the occasion, with separate seating areas scattered throughout the 4,000-square-foot space. Those who feel comfortable with the idea will be able to enjoy their pre-show glass of wine and socialize with friends, just like in pre-COVID times.Those who don’t can head straight into the theatre and take their seats. Those who are still leery of sitting around other people can sit in the balcony, which will be kept open but mostly unsold. “You can go to the very top corner; there’ll be nobody else around,” Schneider said. ‘BIG, LOUD, EXUBERANT SHOW’ Much as the theatre needs its audience,Winton says, the audience needs the theatre too. As far as the actor is concerned, Noises Off is the perfect show for right now. If laughter is an antidote to the bleakness in daily headlines, then there’s no better play than Michael Frayn’s acclaimed comedy – often hailed as the funniest farce ever written. “The set is huge; there’s loads of action. This show is going to fit perfectly in the Massey – it’s

PHOTO DAVID COOPER, CONTRIBUTED a big, loud, exuberant show, and the Massey is a great place for it to play,”Winton said. Schneider hopes audiences will embrace the chance to experience live theatre after two years of staying in their living rooms. “It’s a totally different experience than Netflix, even a great Netflix show, because the energy and the skills of the actors – they have to be absolutely on point, and alive, and super-super-talented to pull it off. Just witnessing their talents fully, and also hearing a whole bunch of other people laughing at the same time, is a good feeling, it really is,” she said. “You just feel like you’re all friends at the end of the night, and you’ve had this great time together.” Winton, too, embraces the feeling of connection that live theatre creates. “I just can’t wait to hear peo-
ple laugh again,” she says. “The magical sound of a baby laughing – that’s what it’s like to hear an audience laugh.” For an actor, she says, that sound sends a message that you’ve helped someone’s well-being and mental health. “For me, it’s a feeling of being in service.When all this came down, that was the thing I missed most. I missed the feeling of being in service to other human beings.That’s what I feel we do as artists, all artists; we help define the human condition.We’re storytellers for each other. “During all this time, gosh, haven’t we all been glued to our Netflix, Crave, all the streaming services, because we need to hear stories? “But there’s nothing better than being in a room with other people, having that story told to you.”
New Westminster actor set for an emotional homecoming Don’t mind Colleen Winton if she seems a little extra emotional on opening night. She’ll be the first actor onstage when the curtain rises for Noises Off, and she’ll be making up for two years of time lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I can hardly believe it, I really can’t,” Winton says. “It’s really, really magical to come back to this play after two years away from theatre.” Noises Off has been close to Winton’s heart for decades. Many years ago, she was in a production at
Bastion Theatre in Victoria with her now-husband, actor Russell Roberts; it’s where their romance began. They’ve raised two sons in New Westminster, and they still live within walking distance of Massey Theatre.
There’s an added element of nostalgia in this particular production because it’s being staged on Winton’s home turf. The Massey has been a part of her life since high school, when she was a student at NWSS. “That’s the first stage
that I set foot on as an actor,” she says. She’s been back over the years for a number of performances, including a starring role in Royal City Musical Theatre’s Hello Dolly! in 2012. But this will be her first fully professional production on the
stage she knows so well. “It’s really like coming home,” she says. “Tears will be shed, I am sure. I get verklempt talking about it, so I can’t imagine what it will be like when I’m standing on that stage. I open the show, so I hope I can hold it together.”

City Council backs preservation of Mr. May Day’s house Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A Queen’s Park resident is taking action to protect her home in perpetuity. Gail Ancill, owner of the Johnston House at 125 Third St., applied to the city for a heritage designation. Ancill sought to designate the house to honour the 1905 home’s original owner, JJ Johnston, and to prevent any potential future demolition to the home. Kathleen Stevens, the city’s heritage planning analyst, said the property has already been recognized as having heritage value through its inclusion on the heritage inventory and the heritage register, and it is also protected in the Queen’s Park heritage conservation area. “The house has historic value for its association with JJ Johnson, a former mayor and public figure in New Westminster,” she said. “The house has esthetic value for the integrity of its design, as well as for its association with celebrated local architects and crafts people, such as architects Clow and Welsh and Gardiner and Mercer, as well as stained glass manufacturer Henry Bloomfield.” In addition to serving on city council for 13 years and three terms as mayor, Johnston was the official

Queen’s Park resident Gail North spoke in support of the application at a public hearing Jan. 31.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
B.C. politics turns into a dull affair
For BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon, now comes the heavy lifting. Falcon was chosen party leader this past weekend, and as expected it was not even close. He received 47% of the “points” on the first ballot, besting his nearest competitor (Skeena MLA Ellis Ross) by more than 20 percentage points. He eventually won on the fifth ballot, under the preferential ballot system (in which voters rank the candidates and make second, third etc. choices). In his victory speech, Falcon acknowledged his party faces a monumental challenge when it comes to offering more diversified group of candidates to the voters come the next election. He said the party needs a “root-to-branch rebuild.” The COVID-19 pandemic has not been kind to the party, or indeed to most non-government political parties anywhere. Traditional politics and many bread-and-butter issues have been elbowed off the agenda as the public grapples with an ongoing public health crisis that has cost so many people their jobs, their health or even their life. But while the BC Liberals and their new leader are staring at a rough road ahead, they have every reason to think the next few years will be much better for them than the last two have been. While we are still in a pandemic and may be for a while, various COVID-19 health restrictions are easing or are being lifted. Perhaps, as we try to return to “normal,” politics in their traditional form also return to their usual place in the public consciousness. After almost two years of looking to government as almost a saviour, in terms of managing both economic responses and public health mea-
sures, I think the public is slowly shifting to a different mindset. One in which the government no longer automatically gets the benefit of the doubt on almost anything. The legislature resumed sitting this week, and it will be interesting to see if its proceedings – a new budget, daily question period, and new legislation – will receive more media coverage than we have seen in any legislature session held during the pandemic. The BC Liberals will certainly need the channel changed away from a near-constant focus on COVID-19 and the pandemic and onto more traditional issues.They need the voting public to once again pay attention to what they have to say about things. Of course, Falcon will have to move fast to mend the messy internal divisions that were on public display during the lengthy leadership race.The three MLAs who were also candidates – Renee Merrifield, Michael Lee and Ellis Ross – were harshly critical of Falcon, labelling him as yesterday’s man who had accumulated too much political baggage from his previous stint in government. Look for the NDP to exploit that “baggage” at every opportunity. In fact, no sooner had Falcon taken the stage to deliver his victory speech on Saturday night, than the NDP caucus merrily issued a news release talking about just that kind of thing. But the baggage issue can work both ways.The longer the NDP stays in power, the more baggage it accumulates as well. In any event, Falcon’s ascension to the leadership is the start of a new chapter in B.C. politics. Let the heavy lifting begin. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Man gets fleeced by hitchhiker
A local man likely had regrets about inviting a tall lady “hitchhiker” back to his place in July.The man picked up the woman, whom police described as sixfeet tall and wearing a body suit, on 12th Street, and the pair went to his apartment for a few drinks.When he woke up the next morning, the man discovered his keys and some cash had been stolen, but that wasn’t the end of it.When he got back from work that day, he found much of his furniture had been stolen along with a weight set and some of his clothes.

Letters Ban these hate symbols Editor: In the past few days, during demonstrations on Parliament Hill, Canadians witnessed the vile display the hateful genocidal symbols of Nazi swastikas, and the flying of Confederate flags - symbols of racist slavery- at the very centre of Canadian democracy. It was appalling that the Nazi flag was being waved steps away from the Hall of Honour where we commemorate 45,000 Canadiansincluding my uncle Patrick- who gave their lives fighting Nazism. This week, I will be re-tabling a Private Member’s Bill to amend the Criminal Code (banning symbols of hate) to prevent anyone from selling and displaying symbols that promote hatred and violence against identifiable groups. It is a tool designed to address the growing violence and hatred that we see in Canada. Our own communities of New Westminster and Burnaby are not immune from this growing extremism. The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a harsh light on the deep socio-economic inequalities experienced by the most vulnerable populations in Canada. Tragically, we are witnessing a considerable increase in Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny in our society. We see rising rates of racism and violent crimes against Indigenous people, Black, Asian and other marginalized communities and an increase in the number of

hate groups in Canada. Yet symbols of hate are freely displayed and sold across our country. Other countries have protected their citizens by banning these symbols of hate. It is time for Canada to do the same. Canadians are tired of symbolic gestures. The time for rhetoric is over: the time for action is now. Banning symbols of hatred like Nazi swastikas or Ku Klux Klan insignias is more important now than ever for all Canadians to feel safer. Everyone has the right to feel welcomed, secure and respected in their community. Allowing these symbols of hatred to be freely and indiscriminately sold in stores or publicly displayed is retraumatizing for people who have been, and continue to be, targets of violence and oppression. Symbols that have been used to incite violence against people have no place in our society. I hope that the Trudeau government and all MPs from all parties will support this bill and work with us to ensure symbols of hate aren’t tolerated in any way and to make our communities better for everyone. With hate crimes and racism on the rise across Canada, it is critical that the federal government prioritizes and concretely addresses systemic racism and discrimination for a just recovery, where no one is left behind. We must condemn all forms of hate in our communities. MP Peter Julian

City of New Westminster hosts numerous fun activities for Family Day weekend Sub: From virtual events to in-person activities, there’s something for every family This Family Day weekend, the City of New Westminster is excited to announce the return of in-person activities that are fun for all ages and stages. Thanks to the generous financial support from the Province of British Columbia and presenting sponsor The Record, the City of New West is partnering with several community organizations to offer a slate of free activities as part of the City’s Family Day Weekend Adventure. “Whether you like arts or sports or want to try something new, there is such a variety we’re truly hopeful there is something for every family,” program coordinator for special events Lisa Kemp says. While the City adapted its Family Day weekend programming to offer mainly virtual events last year, this year they’re excited to offer more in-person activities, while continuing with virtual choices for those who would be more comfortable participating from home. Activities will be accessible throughout the city and with nearly all City facilities participating in some way, there is
bound to be something fun closeby for everyone. It’s a great chance for families to try out activities offered by the City that are available throughout the year. In addition to the public facilities, the Family Day Weekend Adventure will feature events in partnership with the Fraser River Discovery Centre, New West Family Place, and the Spirit of the Children Society. Because of the popularity of these programs, pre-registration is required and families are urged to sign up quickly to avoid disappointment. From outdoor gardening, to private family skate lessons, there are fun and unique events for everyone throughout the entire weekend.

OUTDOOR POOL SEASON EXTENSION
New Westminster’s outdoor pool season will be extended in 2022! Moody Park Outdoor Pool will open April 23, 2022 and Hume Park Outdoor Pool will open June 30, 2022. Both pools will remain open until October 10, 2022 and will offer lane swimming, swimming lessons, leisure swims and Aquafit. All times will require reservation. A schedule will be released in the coming weeks. Following the decision to decommission the Canada Games Pool, Parks and Recreation engaged the community to seek feedback on extending the outdoor pool season. The survey results spoke clearly to a community preference to extend the operating season with 83% of respondents indicating they would attend a swim program should Moody Park Outdoor Pool open in mid-April. In response to survey feedback, staff will be exploring options to include semipermanent tent structures to provide cover and shelter for the public and staff. We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
Beginning February 14, 2022, group fitness programs previously held in the Centennial Community Centre gymnasium will be relocated to either Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park, Century House, or the River Room at Centennial Community Centre. Pickleball will move to École Herbert Spencer Elementary School gymnasium on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The fitness centre is expected to open in early March once electrical infrastructure and inspections are complete.

Community Have your say on changes to uptown roads Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
NewWest residents are invited to share their thoughts about some of the big changes coming to uptown roads. The City of NewWestminster is launching a second round of public engagement for the Uptown Active Transportation Improvement projects, with input being used to help refine the designs as the project moves towards construction in the summer and fall of 2022. The project team is seeking feedback on the recommended designs for the Rotary Crosstown Greenway upgrades and the NewWestminster Secondary School cycling connector. “The City of NewWestminster is committed to creating accessible active transportation infrastructure that allows individuals of all ages and abilities to move around our community safely whether they cycle, walk or roll,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a news release. “This isn’t just about adding more bike lanes, but ensuring sidewalks are accessible for individuals with mobility issues, comfortable and safe to use, and include trees, greenery and seating that will make for a better user experience.” Community members can attend a pop-up event
at Royal City Centre on Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 2 to 6 p.m. In addition, people can provide feedback, until Feb. 22, via a survey at www.beheardnewwest.ca. The city estimates the survey should take a total of about 25 minutes to complete – 15 minutes for the Rotary Crosstown Greenway section and 10 minutes for the NWSS cycling connector questions, but people choose to answer just one section. A city news release states the project team developed the recommended designs based on public input during the fall 2021 engagement process, as well a comprehensive technical analysis. “We received lots of great feedback and input from the community during the first round of public engagement, including participants’ top priorities for these projects, as well as their preferred design option for the Rotary Crosstown Greenway improvements and routing option for the NWSS cycling connector,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone, chair of the city’s facilities, infrastructure and public realm advisory committee. “I encourage everyone to participate in the next phase of engagement, where we will further refine the concept and seek input on key design features.”

WHAT’S PLANNED In January, city council endorsed the preferred options for the Rotary Crosstown Greenway upgrade (between Fifth and Eighth streets) that includes construction of protected bicycle lanes and streetscape enhancements such as street trees and landscaping. Parking would be retained on only one side of the street, but some loading zones may be preserved on both sides of the street for improved accessibility. For the NWSS connector on Sixth Street, the city is proposing bicycle lanes that are physically protected from vehicles, new bus stop designs, changes to intersections, curb extensions and additional safety measures.This project is taking place on Sixth Street, between Seventh
Avenue and the crosswalk at the entrance to the new NWSS. A staff report said the design of the NWSS cycling connector will provide uni-directional protected bicycle lanes along Sixth Street (a bike lane on each side of the street
This isn’t just about adding bike lanes
in the same direction as motorized traffic), with parking/loading prohibited on one side of the street. While this option provides the most direct route and received the highest level of support among people involved in the first round
of public engagement, staff noted it will have the biggest impact on transit, traffic and businesses of all the options considered. In addition to approving the options for the two projects, council also directed staff to implement an interim NWSS cycling connector along Sixth Street that uses high-quality, lower-cost materials to test the feasibility and evaluate impacts of the routing option on transit and traffic operations. According to the report, a $450,000 budget for engagement and design work on the projects and a $2.5-million budget for construction are included in the city’s 2020 to 2024 financial plan.The interim NWSS cycling connection is projected to cost about $200,000. “These projects take di-
rection from the vision set in the council-approved Uptown StreetscapeVision, to create ‘a vibrant commercial district with a distinct identity, accessible and sustainable transportation, and inviting and engaging public spaces that are welcoming to all people,” said the staff report. “Additional goals include enhancing the public realm and tree canopy, seeking opportunities for green infrastructure, and reducing the impacts of motor vehicles and through traffic in this neighbourhood, while limiting the impacts to people who rely on on-street parking and loading.” To learn more about these projects and to provide input, visit www. beheardnewwest.ca/ uptowncycling.

Community New West marks Black History Month Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Art, entertainment and education are among the offerings in New West for Black History Month. The City of New Westminster has proclaimed February as Black History Month.This year’s theme is February and Forever: Celebrating Black History today and every day. Last year, Rachel Matembe, a member of the city’s multiculturalism advisory committee, requested that the committee take a more active role in recognizing and promoting Black History Month. City council approved a recommendation from the committee directing staff to create a working group to explore various ways to recognize and promote Black History Month. Here’s some of what’s being planned for this year: NWSS STUDENT ART Celebrating Black History in Canada Through Tessellation and Portraiture will run from Feb. 2 to June 19 at the New Westminster Museum in Anvil Centre. Community members can book their free, timed entry to view the exhibition online at booking.nwmuseumar chive.ca or call 604-5274640. “Moved by a push for greater social justice, NWSS art students researched prominent figures from Black history in Canada and share their contributions in black and white tessellation patterns and portraits,” said a statement about the exhibition. YOUTH CONNECTIONS Throughout the month, the city’s youth services department will be connecting with youth about Black History Month
through social media, its website (newwestyouth. ca) and drop-in programs. Profiles of staff and influential Canadians, activities, discussion, and information sharing are among the month’s offerings.
THURSDAY TUNES On Thursday, Feb. 17, community members are invited to drop by Sapperton Plaza from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for Thursday Tunes featuring local musicians. It runs rain or shine, so people are advised to dress for the weather. Bring your own chair or blanket. It features Sam Chimes, an Afro-Canadian jazzy hip hop music artist. He is an international street performer, producer and DJ. MONDAY MOVIE This month’s Last Monday at the Movies features The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Presented by the Arts Council of New Westminster, it take places on Monday, Feb. 28 at the Anvil Centre Theatre (doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film begins at 7 p.m.). “The plot centers around the efforts of a young black man to reclaim his childhood home, a now-expensive Victorian house,” said a notice about the event. Tickets are $9 and can be purchased in advance at www.ticketsnw.ca.Tickets (cash only) are available at the door. READING LIST The New Westminster Public Library has prepared some Black History Month reading lists for adults and children who would like to educate themselves or their family on topics about Black history and conversations about race. See www. newwestcity.ca.

Tower proposed on New West-Burnaby border Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A 30-storey highrise on the New West/Burnaby border will be considered as part of the 22nd Street visioning process. The city has received a pre-application review for 2342 to 2346 Marine Dr., where an applicant is proposing to build a 230-unit highrise that includes 185 market rental units and 45 below- and non-market units. It would also include 192 square metres (2,055 square feet) of retail commercial, 295 square metres (3,180 square feet) for a child-care space and a 425 square metres (4,574 square feet) for community uses. In a report to the city’s land use and planning committee, staff sought support to work with the applicant to integrate their Connaught Heights site, and potentially adjacent sites, into the 22nd Street area bold vision process. The staff recommendation noted this would result in a slowing of the application review. “The proposal aligns with the city affordable and market rental housing objectives,” said the staff report. “However, pro-
ceeding in advance of the 22nd Street station area visioning and implementation is likely to put additional cost burdens and risk on the applicant, such as bearing all costs related to adequately servicing to the site and undertaking transportation networking studies.” The report goes on to say that proceeding with this project in advance of the 22nd Street visioning process would also likely limit opportunities for the applicant to participate in potential neighbourhood-wide climate action and sustainable transportation “big moves” that could be identified through the planning process. “It is recommended that staff engage with the applicant to integrate their site into the 22nd Street area bold vision process to address cost burdens and risks and to align a proposal with ‘big moves’ developed through this process,” said the report. “This has been discussed with the applicant, who has expressed general interest.” In December, city council directed staff to proceed with a workplan for the 22nd Street station bold
vision, which aims to create a roadmap for redevelopment and the transition of the station area into an eco-neighbourhood. In future years, it’s envisioned that higher density uses would be considered around the SkyTrain station, stepping down to middle-density uses in the surrounding neighbourhood. According to staff, the Marine Drive site is located 120 metres (394) feet outside the 22nd Street station area.The project is being proposed by the non-profit that owns the Schara Tzedeck Cemetery, which has been in the city for decades. “This project will serve as a catalyst to help to start to define the guiding principles of future development in this area, while at the same time, providing much needed rental housing,” said a letter from the applicants to the city. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the committee heard from the applicant about its proposal at its Jan. 31 meeting. “He told us that they were sitting on this land and wanted to put it to good use; they had some ideas on some density,” said Puchmayr, chair of
Duplex has heritage value: report Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
One of the City of New Westminster’s advisory committees is recommending council place a temporary protection order on a 1939 duplex in Sapperton. The owner of the duplex at 349 Cumberland St. approached the city about rezoning the property into two small lots and building two new houses.The site is currently home to a duplex that city staff and the community heritage commission believe has heritage value and is worthy of heritage protection.
“The result would be the loss of an identified heritage asset, an existing rental duplex,” said a report to the city’s land use and planning committee. “Staff has advised the owner such an application would not be supportable by staff.” In response to the applicant’s request for a heritage review (demolition) of the site, staff said a heritage revitalization agreement could provide alternative development options, such as the addition of a new house(s) or another duplex to the property. Another option would be large additions to
the existing duplex units. According to the staff report, the 1939 duplex is a “fine example” of the Mission Revival style of home. It’s one of only a few Mission Revival style homes in New West and retains many of its original features. Staff doesn’t currently support the application as it would result in a loss of rental infill housing units in a low-density, low-rental neighbourhood and would result in the loss of an identified heritage asset. They also stated the current application lacks community benefits or amenities.
the LUPC. “We talked about the 22nd Street plan that was being put in place and asked if he felt comfortable being part of that plan or if he wanted to move quickly. He had decided that he was willing to wait to be part of that evaluation.” Puchmayr said the site is next to the Schara Tzedeck Cemetery in New Westminster, but Burnaby is across the street. “There is a really good mix of below-market housing and rental housing. It sort of fits what we are trying to do to create more affordable housing for people in New Westminster and people moving to New Westminster,” he said of the concept. “We basically gave them the green light to be involved in the planning process.”
