Toxic drugs claim 10 lives in four months Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

More people are dying of illicit drugs in B.C. than homicides, motor-vehicle incidents, drownings, suicide and fire-related deaths combined, according to the BC Coroners Service. The coroners service’s latest report shows that at least 161 lives were lost to toxic illicit drugs in B.C. in April 2022, which is about 5.4 deaths per day In an email to the Record, the BC Coroners Service said there was one suspected illicit drug toxicity death in New Westminster in April.That’s in addition to nine illicit drug deaths in the first three months of 2022 — five in January, one in February and three in March. According to the coroners service, men have Continued on page 3

Did you know? PIER’S PAST USES

The Westminster Pier Park site’s past uses include coal storage warehouses, industrial equipment operations, industrial machine shops, marine works, foundries or metal scrap melting, coal-fired power generation and marine and automobile fuelling.

The City of NewWestminster is commemorating the 10th anniversary ofWestminster Pier Park with an evening of celebration and cinema. Community members are invited to drop by the riverfront park on Friday, June 17, when a variety of activities, music, trivia and more will be offered from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and Spider-Man: NoWay Home hits the big screen on the festival lawn from 9:30 to 11 p.m. Details can be found at www. newwestcity.ca/pierpark10. In March 2009, the City of NewWestminster purchased the 3.2-hectare (nine-acre) Westminster Pier waterfront site at 224 Front St. for $8 million.The $25.9-million park officially opened on June 16, 2012. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I think the park has really ended up serving the important purpose that we hoped it would when it was originally built. First and foremost, it’s really become a city park that residents across the city are able to enjoy using. It has become a hub for a number of community events.” Cote saidWestminster Pier Park has also served the downtown neighbourhood in an important way. “High-density neighbourhoods don’t have the luxury of back yards and, really, Pier Park has become the back yard of downtown NewWestmin-

MARINA PLANS DERAILED

A marina where people could moor their boats for a few hours was part of early discussions about the park but it was derailed by concerns about safety, the speed of the river and the likelihood of inexperienced boaters encountering difficulties with the strong current. A marine engineer said water access would be dangerous at this site for many people.

ster,” he said. “I think in that respect, the park has been really successful in achieving some of the public green space and open space goals and desires, not only from a city perspective but also from a downtown perspective.” Westminster Pier Park includes a 325-metre waterfront boardwalk, a festival lawn, a concession, elevated viewpoints, a basketball court, public art, a children’s play area, trees, gardens and places where folks can picnic or enjoy the sights. Cote said the city took advantage of an economic downturn to purchase the waterfront property and was fortunate to receive a significant federal/ provincial grant to help develop the park. “When we were started the

planning process, I think we all sensed we were going to be building something special, but I think it has even exceeded our expectations,” he said. Early in the design process, city council made a decision to completely build out the western section of the park – including new infrastructure below the deck and a new park on top. The eastern section of the site, known as the Timber Wharf, later became home to beach volleyball courts, an urban beach and the WOWWestminster public art installation. It remained on its original wooden pilings and was destined for future redevelopment. On Sept. 13, 2020, the TimberWharf caught fire and burned for more than 10 days, destroying everything in that

section of the park. After an extensive cleanup effort, the park reopened in April 2021. “Pier Park, as it is right now, is an incredible amenity for the community, but I am even more excited about what it can be into the future,” Cote said. Cote said that, once the city works through its insurance claim, the portion of the park that burned down will ultimately be replaced with modern infrastructure that will provide the city with more options than what were permitted on the old wooden piles. Change will also be coming to the western side, next to the PierWest project that’s currently under construction. Visitors can access Pier Park via an elevator/staircase at Fourth Street and a ramp at Sixth Street.

The wood structure that’s home to the concession and washrooms was created to be representative of Lytton Square, which housed New Westminster first official public market and was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1898.

IT’S AN AWARD WINNER

Before the park even opened on June 16, 2012, it had won three awards: a 2012 Environment Award from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators, for turning a contaminated brownfield into a useable greenfield; a Sustainable Communities Award in the brownfield category from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities; and a national Brownie award from the Canadian Urban Institute for sustainable remediation technologies. Other awards would follow.

NO CAR SHOWS, CARNIVALS

Volleyball courts and a beach area were deemed to be suitable uses on the Timber Wharf section, but some uses — such as cars show and carnival rides — weren’t recommended because of weight restrictions on the section of the park that still stood on its original wood piles. (This section was destroyed by fire in September 2020.)

No deaths reported at supervised consumption sites

Continued from page 1 historically accounted for nearly 80 per cent of illicit drug-related deaths, but more than 26 per cent of those who died in April were female, continuing a shifting trend that began earlier in the year. The service reports that the median age of people who died between

March 2020 and February 2022 was 44, but the number of deaths in older age categories continues to increase; 38 per cent of decedents in 2022 have been among people 50 or older. No deaths have been reported at supervised consumption or drug overdose prevention sites. In

New Westminster, witnessed consumption services are offered at the health contact centre at 40 Begbie St. Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said the drug toxicity death review panel’s report, released earlier this year, outlined urgent measures that could be taken to reduce the numbers of

people dying as a result of drug toxicity in B.C. and highlighted access to a safer drug supply as the most critical life-saving need in this crisis. “BC Coroners Service data for the first four months of 2022 shows us that our province is on the path to yet another tragic milestone in terms of lives

lost,” she said in a news release. “I am hopeful that the implementation of the panel’s recommendations, on an urgent basis, will stop these preventable deaths.” Data from the BC Coroners Service shows that 84 per cent of illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2022 have occurred indoors (57

per cent in private residences and 27 per cent in other residences including social and supportive housing, SROs, shelters, hotels and other indoor locations) and 14 per cent have occurred outside in vehicles, sidewalks, streets, parks, etc.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

What’s in a name? BC Liberals ponder A political party with the word “liberal” in its official name made its first appearance on a ballot in a B.C. election way back in 1903. It now appears that word will likely not be on the ballot in the next scheduled election (set for the fall of 2024), as the BC Liberal Party has launched a process aimed at changing its name and jettisoning the political term “liberal,” which some in the party think is a drag on its fortunes. It is entirely unclear what the next party name will look like. One thing is clear: the party cannot call itself the “B.C. Party,” as that name was previously registered with Elections B.C. and 10 years must lapse before it can be used by another entity. Some other words that have been part of other provincial party names are also unlikely to be allowed in the new party name. They include: action, vision, citizens, first, heritage, progressive and reform. However, despite a recent boost in its performance in the legislature, the problems facing the BC Liberals run much deeper than sporting a different name on the ballot. Having the word “Liberals” in the name did not stop the party from drifting rightward over the past 10 years or so.The ideological makeup of the current caucus is decidedly more conservative than it was during Gordon Campbell’s term in government. During Campbell’s terms, liberals like George Abbott, Christy Clark, Colin Hansen, Gord Hogg, Terry Lake and others dominated the government, along with conservatives such as Rich Coleman, Bill Bennett and Kevin Falcon. The party likes to call itself the “free enterprise coalition,” but it has become less and less of a coalition,

as one side of the spectrum now dominates the party. The party’s conservative bent is reflected in the geographic breakdown of where the party won seats in the 2020 election. It lost eight seats in MetroVancouver to the BC NDP, and the party has been largely pushed out of MetroVancouver and into more conservative-friendly regions of the province such as the Interior and the North. It can be argued the BC Liberals lost those seats not because of their name but because of a host of other issues, from their drift to the right to a lack of diversity to 16 years of accumulating political baggage. Issues like money laundering, corporate funding and housing unaffordability first began to tarnish the party in the 2017 election. At the federal level, the word “liberals” is hardly a negative one in riding-rich MetroVancouver.Voters in that region opted for the federal Liberal Party candidate in 15 of Metro’s 24 ridings in the 2021 election. Perhaps a name change will indeed improve the BC Liberals’ political fortunes.The NDP government’s grip on popularity will not last forever as it inevitably will make missteps (it already is doing so; see: “Museum, Royal”), and that will help the Opposition to further rebuild itself. However, a new name does not automatically reconnect the party to the electorate. New party leader Kevin Falcon, who advocated for changing the party’s name, knows the party has to go through a full renewal process. Improved ethnic diversity, gender equity and a broader appeal to younger voters are the key to electoral success.The party’s name? Not so much. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

‘Handgun’ used in Slurpee theft

Two boys got a stern talking to from police after they used a replica handgun to rob three other children of their Slurpees.Three boys between the ages of nine and 12 had been walking in the 800 block of McBride Boulevard when they were approached by two other boys. One of the two pulled a handgun from his waistband and demanded the Slurpees.The three victims ran home and reported the incident to police. Officers tracked down the suspects and determined the gun was a fake. It was handed over to police to be destroyed.

City New reporter joins Record newsroom team

The NewWestminster Record newsroom has welcomed a new reporter to the team. Naveena Vijayan is not just new to the Record team, but also to Canada. After four years of living on the East Coast in Delaware, U.S., she decided to settle down along the Pacific coast in British Columbia, in December 2021. However, her journey as a journalist began in the southern city of India called Chennai, in 2013, where she covered stories about sustainable architecture, surfing festivals and contemporary art. In her more than eight years of experience as a journalist, she has had the chance to interview top chef celebrities such as Australian chef Curtis Stone and Scottish historian and author William Dalrymple; go on a snake-walk with the world-famous Irula snake catchers; and interact with artists in India’s largest art commune, the Cholamandal Artists’Village. New to B.C., she is eager to know more about the community and its rich history, one story at a time. Reach out to her at nav.naveenavijayan

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8341, 2022 for 735 Eighth Avenue (Massey Theatre) WHAT IS THIS BYLAW ABOUT? The proposed Zoning Bylaw text amendment would allow a Liquor Primary (LP) licence as a permitted use at 735 Eighth Avenue. With the recent purchase of the property by the City, the Massey Theatre Society has submitted a concurrent but separate event-driven LP licence application to the Province in order to continue serving liquor in conjunction with theatre performances and other artsrelated events, without having to apply for individual Special Event Permits for each event as in the past. The proposed occupant load is 1,819 persons (plus an additional 364 persons provided that they are solely in the Studio 1C gymnasium). The site’s primary use as a theatre remains the same, and no additions or exterior building changes are proposed.

As the City is the property owner, the public input process for the LP licence application will be conducted separately by the Province’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

Applications have been received for an Oﬃcial Community Plan (OCP) amendment, Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) and Special Development Permit (SDP) to facilitate the seismic upgrade and restoration of the existing cathedral at 514 Carnarvon Street, and legally protect it with a Heritage Designation Bylaw. The applications would also enable the development of a 30 storey tower with a density of 6.59 ﬂoor space ratio (FSR), which would include 285 residential units, 14 of which would be secured for rent at market rates. The development would include a new parish hall at the base of the tower, a public plaza, and a publically-accessible pedestrian pathway including an elevator and staircase connecting Carnarvon Street to Clarkson Street. The OCP amendment would change the land use designation from “Residential- Mid Rise Apartment” to “Residential – Tower Apartment”.

City Save those pickle jars: Glass recycling is on the way New grey recycling boxes are coming this month

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New West residents will soon have a new way to dispose of jam, pickle, sauce and other jars. Starting July 4, the City of New Westminster is launching its new curbside glass collection program. Under the new program, each single-family home will receive one 27-litre grey box, whose contents will be collected once every four weeks. Grey boxes are being delivered to residences in June. A notice from the city says the curbside glass collection schedule will be different from the existing solid waste collection

schedule.That’s because glass requires manual collection and must be collected separately. When the new grey boxes are delivered, residences will also receive an individualized collection schedule. Items allowed in the grey bins include non-refundable glass bottles and jars, such as jam, sauce or pickle containers (containers must be emptied and rinsed). Refundable glass bottles, such as wine and beer bottles, are optional. Drinking glasses, windows, mirrors, ceramics and light bulbs are not accepted in the glass collection program. Last October, city council directed staff to

implement a segregated glass collection program for single-family and multi-family residences starting in 2022. When approving the initiative, city officials said it would address contamination of recyclables in the current recycling program. Some residents also expressed a need for enhanced recycling offerings in response to the closure of the city’s recycling depot. “I think it is going to be well received in the community, as glass recycling was definitely identified as one of the challenges and concerns with the recycling program in New Westminster,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

CURBSIDE GLASS COLLECTION Starting July 4, 2022, the City of New Westminster will begin collecting glass packaging in a new curbside collection program. Each single family home will receive one 27L grey box that will accept nonrefundable glass packaging, such as jam, sauce, or pickle jars. The curbside glass collection schedule will be different from the existing solid waste collection schedule, as glass requires manual collection and must be collected separately. Each collection zone (A, B, C, D) will be divided into four sub-collection zones and will receive glass collection once every four weeks on their respective collection day. Staff will begin delivering grey boxes to each residence in June leading up to the first scheduled collection dates starting July 2022.

People Fire department’s new ‘dirty dozen’ ready to go Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The “dirty dozen” has wrapped up an exhausting and exhilarating training program with New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services, but the journey is just beginning. Twelve recruits — the largest group of firefighters to ever be hired at one time by the New Westminster fire department — have just completed five weeks of training and one week of evaluations. “All of the staff at NWFRS are excited to have such a large and enthusiastic recruit class join our team and begin their career as a first responder,” said acting fire Chief Erin Williams. Nick Bruyere, Dean Clarke, Ryder Chidley, Daniel Cotter, Rachel Coulson, Evan Jumaga, Sean McPhee, Jason Mukhija, Amar Rai, Sean Staples, Nick Stone and Kayla Weltzin have have now been assigned to shifts at the city’s three fire halls. “We have been able to hire a really diverse group of firefighters. But again, for us, safety and ability is our primary concern. They are here for a reason — we feel they are going to be good firefighters,” said Glen Bailey, the department’s chief training officer. “They all have the potential to be fantastic firefighters.” The recruits come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all share a burning desire to be a firefighter. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Ryder Chidley. “Hard work will get you here and hard work will keep you here. I am so happy just to be part of it.”

Chidley’s interest in firefighting was sparked at a young age, when his father, a professional photographer, would stop the car to snap photos at incidents being attended by first responders. “I just never really thought it would be a reality until my later years in life because of some obstacles that stood in the way,” he said. “In the last few years I just decided to go for my goals, to follow my dreams and to give it everything I had.” Dean Clarke’s path began in the United Kingdom, when firefighters were called to the house next door to extinguish a fire. “They were able to deal with that situation and save my neighbours,” he said. “From that moment on, I have always wanted to be a firefighter. I was eight years old.” Nick Bruyere said he’s always wanted to be a firefighter, as it’s a good fit with his competitive sports background. “The team environment is something that has always appealed to me. Being part of a team is really important,” he said. “As well, I have a lot of family that struggles with a lot of mental health problems, so that’s something that resonates with me a lot — to help the public and to help those in need.” Rachel Coulson has several relatives who have worked as firefighters, but it wasn’t a career she initially considered. “It took me a while to get here.To be honest, it was never something I dreamed about my whole life,” she said. “For females, it’s not something that you grow up thinking about. It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s just

that often we find a different route to get here. Once I graduated from university, then it was something I became super passionate about.” But perhaps it was meant to be? “My grandparents grew up right beside the Glenbrook fire hall. I was exposed to the New Westminster Fire Department when I was really, really little,” she recalled. “There is actually a photo of five-year-old me sitting in a New West fire truck. It says Fire Chief on the plastic hat.” Along with several volunteer firefighters, the recruits have worked in a variety of jobs, including an arborist, a welder, an auto mechanic and other trades positions — many chosen specifically to help them in their quest

of becoming firefighters. Prior to being hired by New Westminster Fire and Rescue, Kayla Weltzin had been working for the B.C.Wildfire Service, leaving her Lower Mainland home each summer to fight wild fires in the Cariboo. “I wanted to make the switch to structural firefighting because it’s a better work-life balance and more consistent, and just being involved in the community.You don’t always get that with B.C.Wildfire,” she said. “The medical side of things, as well, is really appealing to me.” June 10 marked the final day of training and evaluations for the new recruits — coming after weeks of developing skills with ladders, search and rescue, exterior fire attacks, interior fire at-

The recruits will have one year of probation, during which time their skills will be constantly evaluated. “They are still a little green, but we train every day,” Bailey said. “They have a lot to learn still, so they are going to be training extensively with the crews for the next year.” The recruits say they’re keen to keep learning. “The training is top-notch,” said Daniel Cotter. “I am really enjoying it.

Opinion FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

Reason for optimism on National Indigenous Peoples Day Mark Falkenberg

mwfalkenberg@newwestrecord.ca

With Canada marking National Indigenous History month — and National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21 — it’s worth noting how much has been done in recent years to move toward fulfilling the goals of the First Nations of this country — and what a long path stretches ahead. In B.C., of course, that path is tangled with the deep thicket of unresolved land claims, with all

but roughly five per cent of the province comprising land to which Indigenous people never legally signed away their rights. Yet over the past decade, landmark court decisions have opened the doors to change for the better. While not initially successful for the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs and their Gitxsan neighbours who launched it, the lawsuit that brought about the Delgamuukw decision of 1997 helped define the concept of Aboriginal title.That concept

was reinforced in 2014 by the Supreme Court of Canada in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, which affirmed the rights of First Nations by recognizing the principle of Aboriginal title in Canada. Recently, many Indigenous leaders have welcomed the B.C. government’s move to come up with new laws aligned with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). In 2019, B.C. became the first province in Canada to formally recog-

nize the UN declaration in law. More recently it introduced the Declaration Act Action Plan, which sets out steps for the province to try to improve the lives of Indigenous Peoples under UNDRIP. Quoted in APTN News, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, said the Declaration Act was an important step, but cautioned that is more a beginning than an end. “Two years ago, the seeds of change were TITLE SPONSOR

sown — a future life with the promises of true transformation and reconciliation became possible with the historic passage of the Declaration Act,” Phillip said. “Make no mistake, there have been and there will continue to be, numerous obstacles that challenge the work being done to revolutionize and rebuild a relationship that has long been mired in colonial violence and discrimination.Today is not only a day of celebration but a day of reflection and accountability.” There’s reason to be optimistic about these changes and the momentum they have given the drive for Indigenous rights.The difference, for example, between attitudes on the issue now compared with those of the not-so-distant past is illuminating. One has only to look back to the late 1990s, when much of

the mainstream press was full of intense opposition to the Nisga’a Treaty — B.C.’s first modern treaty. The vehemence of that opposition would be hard to imagine — thankfully — nowadays outside of extremist websites. We’ve come a long way in the 22 years since that treaty was signed. Not to say that colonial attitudes and racism don’t persist. But they are less obviously enshrined in official opinion and statutes. I don’t doubt that the next few years will put a lot more distance on the injustices of the past, and bring about more rapid progress toward safeguarding and recognizing the ambitions and rights of Indigenous Peoples in B.C. and across Canada. Mark Falkenberg is editor of the NewWest Record, Burnaby NOW and Tri-City News.

New ﬁre recruits ‘stoked’ to start Continued from page 11 say they’re grateful for the opportunity to work for New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services. They can’t wait to hit the floor, get to know their crews and become part of the fire department’s “family” and start serving

the community. “I am stoked,” said Evan Jumaga. “It’s been a lot of fun, but it’s also been a lot of hard work. I am just excited to get started.” See more about the recruits at www.newwest record.ca

This National Indigenous Peoples Day is a time to celebrate the rich heritage, diversity, and historic and current achievements of Indigenous peoples across Canada. As Canadians, we stand together to honour Indigenous Peoples, including residential school victims and survivors, and commit to truth, justice and reconciliation. The time has come to fully understand our shared history, diverse pathways and to celebrate Indigenous Peoples while they are recovering their identities, communities, and economies to ensure we create a brighter future together.

Community ‘A triumph of ﬁrsts’: Hospice society pays tribute to founder The New West Hospice Society will be paying tribute to founder Kay Johnson. At its June 22 annual general meeting, the society will recognize Johnson’s leadership and years

of dedication to the cause. “There would be no New West Hospice Society without the vision, wisdom and perseverance of Kay Johnson,” said the society in an email to the Record. “A triumph

of ‘firsts’ occurred under Kay’s leadership over the past six years.” Some of these firsts include: becoming the first hospice organization founded by New West, for New West, and in New

West; being the first hospice society in B.C. to be recognized as a Compassionate City by the Public Health Palliative Care International; and hosting North America’s first-ever Festival of Loss and Heal-

ing, which is now an annual event. Other highlights during Johnson’s time at the helm included raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants from government and charitable sources,

as well as launching programs and events such as Community Conversations,The River Walk and the Compassionate City Crew (in-home hospice volunteers). – Theresa McManus

FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK - FACEBOOK.COM/NEWWESTSHELTER NOTE: As of March 17, 2020, our shelter is closed to the general public to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. However, we are still processing adoptions! If there is an animal you are interested in, please submit an adoption application form, and we will be in touch. We will be scheduling visits with the animals *by appointment only* for pre-screened applicants. This is to reduce the number of people coming into the shelter and the number of visits.

PETS OF THE WEEK Luke and Scooby

BONDED PAIR OF MALE GUINEA PIGS Luke & Scooby are a bonded pair of male guinea pigs who were surrendered as their owner had to leave the country and could not find another home for them in time. Luke is the tri colour Abyssinian boy and Scooby is the black/white Silkie. They are very handsome little fellows who were obviously loved and cared for. They are approximately 3.5 years old, and nicely socialized to enjoy human companionship. Please submit an application if you are interested in these cute little guys! Their adoption fee is $37.50 + tax for the pair.

Debbie

Van

(4 YEARS OLD)

(APPROX 1.5 YEARS OLD) Debbie Harry is a beautiful English Spot bunny who is looking for a rabbit-savvy home. Debbie was one of a large group of rabbits we rescued from horrible living conditions. Debbie loves to nibble on her hay, pellets, and greens. She is curious and will come to say hello, and likes to follow you around to see what you’re doing. Quick movements and loud noises startle her. For that reason, we think she would not be well-suited to homes with children. Debbie is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. For the whole month of June at New Westminster Animal Services, all rabbit adoptions are being sponsored by a generous donor. That means the adoption fees for the rabbits will be waived! The application form is still required, though.

Van is a handsome, friendly siberian husky who is looking for a new home! He is a very lovely boy, is affectionate and outgoing. He is comfortable meeting new people without any issues and is quite content to have a nap while you work. He likes to come up and sneak his head under your hand for pets and enjoys a good snuggle. He likes other dogs. We are looking for a home with preteens or older children, or no children. Van is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has received flea and worm preventative treatment. His adoption fee is $350+ tax.

goal. “HOPE International first started around a kitchen table in New Westminster by folks who wanted to help families in Ethiopia get clean wa-

ter in 1975,” said executive director Kim Savage. “Today … we are the only international development agency that is based in New West.We draw so much support from the lo-

cal community.” HOPE International is hosting the Move for H20 on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Riverfront Park, 2750 East Kent Ave. South in Van-

couver.The fundraiser features a six-kilometre run/ walk, a 10 km run, a 1 km kid’s run and a 50-metre toddler dash. You can register at moveforh2o.com.

Please note that if you wish to adopt a rabbit from us, we will not be placing any rabbits until after Easter.

TOBY (6 MONTHS OLD)

Toby, a six month old slobbery silly giant puppy! We believe he is a mix of Maremma and a giant breed - likely a Livestock Guardian Breed. What we do know is that at 37 kg already, Toby is going to be a big boy! He is very friendly with people, greeting everyone with gusto! He needs to learn that he can’t put his paws up on people, since he’s about as tall as they are. He loves other dogs and is very playful with them. Toby is not used to being alone for long periods, and he can get quite sad and vocal in his kennel. His housetraining is a workin-progress. He has been vaccinated and microchipped. His neuter surgery has been pre-booked for January 2023. In addition to his adoption fee of $400, we will take a deposit from the adopter, which will be refunded after the neuter surgery has been completed.

DASH

(4 YEARS OLD)

Dash is a voluptuous beautiful kitty cat who is looking for a new home to call her own. Dash will purr, roll over, and rub up against our legs. She is an extremely affectionate kitty! Dash grew up with two little girls, and reportedly, was very close with them. She used to have a kitty sibling when she was a kitten, but since then, has been the only pet in the home. She has never been around dogs. She has been an indoor only kitty. Dash has been spayed, vaccinated, tattooed, microchipped, FeLV & FIV tested, and had a dental cleaning. Dash needs help to get moving a bit more to shed some weight. Her adoption fee is $225+ tax.

Community Alumni golf event raises money for NWSS students Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Alumni from high schools in New Westminster are hoping to help today’s students make the most of their time in secondary school. The newly formed NWSS Alumni Committee, comprised of students who attended New Westminster Secondary, Lester Pearson, Duke of Connaught or T.J.Trapp Tech secondary schools, is coming together to raise money for the athletic department at NWSS. The goal is to help with the growth of athletics, to provide scholarships, to assist dedicated athletes from lower-income homes, to provide development clinics and to help with uniforms and busing at the high school. Don Robertson, who graduated from NWSS is 1973/74, said the idea came about after a discussion he had with a school official, who mentioned some funding had been cut for athletics programs. “The idea was to try and figure out a way to get into the school system to make a positive impact on the life of kids,” he said. Robertson, Ronda (Josey) Baker, Chuck Leek

and George Morneau formed a committee and, since December, have been meeting every couple of weeks on Zoom to discuss fundraising plans. New West high school alumni Ken Winslade, Chuck Condon and Bob Wright have been providing additional assistance. The NWSS Alumni Committee is hard at work on plans for its first major event – a golf event fundraiser that’s taking place at Delta Golf and Country Club on Saturday, June 25, with a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. (attendees should arrive around 12:30 p.m.) The event features a “scramble format” with men’s, women’s and mixed teams. Folks don’t have to be great golfers to attend the fundraiser, Robertson said. The event includes a post-golf barbecue dinner and an auction, where attendees will have a chance to bid on items such as a wine fridge, an electric bike, rounds of golf at Whistler Golf Club, a restored antique putter and a painting by alumna Lynn Usher.

Community Discover plant, animal life at Glenbrook Ravine River Basin Days on Saturday Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Families are invited to learn more about New Westminster’s plants and animals at this weekend’s edition of River Basin Days. Fraser River Discovery Centre’s next River Basin Days event is taking place at Glenbrook Ravine Park on Saturday, June 18. “If you have ever wondered about the kinds of plants and animals that live in our local parks, this month’s River Basin Days is for you,” said Stephen Bruyneel, the centre’s director of external relations and development. “We are going to Glenbrook Ravine Park in New Westminster on Saturday, June 18 to learn how to identify what is there using the easy-to-use Seek app.” Two sessions are being offered on Saturday – from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and from 2 to 3 p.m. Attendees will need a device – like a phone or tablet – that can run apps and is connected to data. “With that and the Seek app, you can identify almost any plant, animal, or fungus we may come across,” said a notice about the event. “It’s like Poké-

mon Go, but for nature.” Participants can park at Glenbrook Amenities Centre (76 Jamieson Ct.) and meet next to the park entrance sign. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place for this activity, including the need to pre-register at www.fraser riverdiscovery.org. “Join us on a guided walk as we discover a whole new world living all around us,” Bruyneel said. “We will walk about one kilometre through the park, so please dress appropriately and bring water as well. June weather is getting warm!” River Basin Days is a series of outdoor public programs geared towards families that takes place on the second Saturday of every month at rotating locations around the Fraser River Basin. FRDC staff guide families through one hour of activities, experiments, and art projects learn about the biodiversity of the Fraser. Located on New Westminster’s waterfront at 788 Quayside Dr., Fraser River Discovery Centre provides a variety of programs and exhibits related to the Fraser River. See www. fraserriverdiscovery.org.

OBITUARIES

Westcoast Wills & Estates

Probate made easy. McMULLEN, Dagney It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Dagney McMullen on June 14, 2022, at Royal Columbian Hospital. Dagney was born on April 22, 1928, in Langley, BC. Dagney was a serious child, one of two daughters born to hard-working immigrant parents from Sweden. She attended Otter Road School and worked at Otter Co-op, where she met the love of her life, Harold. She and Harold raised two young daughters at their home in Burnaby, Lougheed area. Dagney was a dedicated mother and homemaker. Her gardens were large and bountiful. She climbed ladders to pick fruit and also to tackle paint jobs. She had great skill in intricate sewing and in making jams and applesauce. In 1961, she suffered traumatic injuries in a car accident on the family’s vacation. She unexpectedly survived and was determined to walk again - a process over many years and surgeries. She achieved her goal and walked, although with difficulty. In 1965, the family moved to New Westminster, near Woodward’s, where Harold worked for more than 30 years. Dagney loved being around her grandchildren and other children, volunteering at Herbert Spencer Elementary. She lovingly took on the role of “Gramma” for many - both children and adults. She also enjoyed fellowship at Queens Avenue United Church. Always creative, in later years Dagney enjoyed first attempts at water colours and acrylic painting. She loved animals, Hallmark movies, and doing puzzles with her family. She was predeceased by her adoring husband Harold and her eldest daughter Janice Nicholson (Wayne). Dagney passed peacefully in hospital, after the care and vigil of her loving granddaughter Monique Green (Jeff). She is also survived by her devoted daughter, Wanda Gendron (Garth), grandsons Adrien Nicholson (Krista), Roger Gendron, Randy Nicholson (Drealle), Owen Gendron, and great-grandchildren Breanne, Paige, Shya and Jase. We gratefully acknowledge the excellent care provided by New Westminster first responders, and the nurses, doctors, and support staff at RCH emergency and the 6th floor units. The family will be having a small celebration of life in their yard for friends and family early in the summer. In lieu of flowers (which her cat, Lucky, will unwisely eat), please consider making a donation to BC Women’s Health Foundation in her memory.
