A few words on Something Good Sarah Kelloway Publisher/Designer
Adrian MacNair Editor/Photographer
In the midst of what feels like the biggest housing boom the West Coast has ever experienced, home buyers are searching high and low for more affordable and desirable places to live. Places that don't require a rich relative passing away and leaving several million dollars orphaned for your adoption. Which is probably why many people wind up in South Delta seeking relief from the million dollar housing club in the big city. But even here we're beginning to see some prices climb and it's not hard to overhear conversations in the supermarket about whether Langley or Abbotsford may be more affordable.
foreshadowing too much here you've probably guessed I'm talking about our cover story. Float homes are an opportunity to get into the homeowner market without breaking the proverbial piggy bank, while offering all sorts of other incentives. It's peaceful, beautiful, serene, natural and all just a few minutes bike or car ride from Ladner's shops and grocery stores. It's close to farming, fishing and pretty much all the other cool things that define the Village. Read on and see if you think you could find your own home, sweet home on a river.
But there are still some hidden gems to be found in the housing market, and without

Award from the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. The moment came just days after Barry's twenty-sixth birthday. “Right when you feel like, wow, I'm getting old, you get this title of 'young' all of a sudden,” says Barry, laughing.
Despite being two years shy of 30, Barry has already started looking to the “next generation” of young entrepreneurs. Grateful for the help from Futurpreneur Canada, he's now looking to pay it forward to other young would-be businesspeople. “In entrepreneurship you don't necessarily have a lot of people that are there to support you,” says Barry

about striking off on your own. “You have to look outside of the company for mentorship or family support. You might not have a coach or a manager in the company to tell you, hey, you're doing a great job.” Last year Barry was one of 100 young entrepreneurs invited by Futurpreneur Canada to go to a summit in Toronto that explored better advocacy for small businesses from governments and financial institutions. “The whole trouble with youth entrepreneurship is they're young, which means inexperienced, and entrepreneurship, which means to partake in a risky venture. So inexperienced
and risky venture doesn't really go with banks and governments.”
From Toronto, Barry found out there was a young entrepreneur G20 summit in Istanbul, Turkey, and spent two weeks there learning from young entrepreneurs operating out of China, Japan, Mexico and dozens of other nationalities. He came away with a completely new perspective about the generation gap. “It isn't the old people versus the young people. It's the old people learning from the young people and the young people learning from the old people and working together.” In early 2016, Barry was invited to speak to students
at a high school and he enjoyed it so much that he's continued to speak to other high schools, including one in Delta.
“I just looked around the room and all these people's eyes were like, I can own my business? I don't have to work for a boss?” He later received a thank you card from a high school student saying his speech made him want to own his own business one day.
“Not everyone's going to be an entrepreneur because the world would collapse,” laughs Barry. “But there's always one or two people in a room who want to be an entrepreneur and if I can help them take the next step, that's what I get out of it.”

he sounds, smells and sights of summer are almost here, but it wouldn't truly be summer in Delta without the 16th annual Tour de Delta cycling race and festival.
Spanning July 8-10, the event kicks off on the Friday evening with the MK Delta Lands Criterium in the heart of North Delta, followed by Saturday's exciting Brenco Criterium in historical Ladner Village, and finishing up with the White Spot Delta Road Race in Tsawwassen on Sunday. The latter event sees over 150 pro cyclists tearing through T-town competing for points in the UCI 1.2 (Union Cycliste Internationale) circuit, the only internationally sanctioned pro cycling event in the province. “That race really engages the community because we use quite a few of the city streets for the course,” says long-time Tour de Delta race director Mark Ernsting, a former pro cyclist.
Mark says he encourages residents in the area to invite their friends over to have a barbecue on the front lawn to watch and cheer on the athletes as they speed by in a blur of colours.
Started back in 2001, the Tour de Delta became an official UCI 1.2 event in 2013 for the men, and in 2014 for

women. It has grown in popularity each year, and according to Mark it's due to the broad appeal across both genders and all age groups.
“There's a few things that are driving it but one particular reason is the opportunity for the youth and kids to become engaged in such events like this,” he says.
Tour de Delta isn't just a race, but indeed a festival spanning the three communities of Delta. There is a “Kids Crit” for both North Delta and Ladner, and a Youth Race in Ladner with age categories for all the events. There's also a Tsawwassen Kids Race starting at the South Delta Secondary School track on the day of the UCI events. Mark says having six to twelve-yearold kids coming to participate and then watch the pros compete offers a dream they can pursue, while the older youth learn about racing with teammates and tactics that help immensely. However, the other reason Tour de Delta remains a popular event is that unlike many sports, you don't need to just be a spectator.
“In our sport you can achieve success later in life,” says Mark. “A lot of sports like gymnastics or figure skating, generally you'd have to start very young
to be able to have that skillset. Whereas in our sport we've had many champions in Canada that really didn't take up cycling until 19, 20, or 21 years of age, and have since become world renowned in their late twenties and early thirties.” Indeed, Something Good Magazine profiled pro cyclist Meghan Grant in May, a 33-year-old member of Team Canada from Tsawwassen who intends to compete in the 2020 Olympics. Mark says older riders – competing in the “Master” categories beginning at age 30 and going all the way to 70+ – find cycling isn't as difficult on their bodies as other sports.
“Maybe they can't run like they used to due to their knees or hips or back or whatever it is, and now on a bike they can get out for an hour or two and leave from home without having to have a gym membership,” he says. For those coming purely to spectate, you're still in for a big treat. The Tour de Delta has traditionally brought out some big name cyclists, including multiple time Canadian champions Svein Tuft and Christian Meier.

Home sweet float home
I'M NOT A PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVER, BUT IT WOULD BE HARD TO MISS THE LADNER HOME OF SANDY MCKELLAR AND KELLY MCCLOSKEY. THE FLOAT HOME, WHICH IS MOORED AT LADNER REACH MARINA, IS THREE STORIES OF BRIGHT RED FLAMBOYANT PAINT LOOKING OUT ON THE FRASER RIVER. The couple, who used to live in a house on the “freeway” of Arthur Drive, say moving into a float home in June of 2014 was the “best decision” they ever made.
Float homes weren't even on their radar when they moved to Ladner eight years ago, and they only even knew of their existence from snippets in films and TV shows. But then Kelly's mother got tickets to a historical river tour hosted by the Delta Museum and Archives. “We were on the other side of the berm and Kelly saw the float homes and his heart was captured and he fell in love,” says Sandy, as Kelly elaborates.
“It had appeal, obviously the view of living on the water, the wildlife being in your backyard. It really struck me and reminded me of my grandmother's place in West Vancouver that was on the beach.” It doesn't take very long to soak in the fact there's plenty of wildlife living nearby these float homes. The couple say they routinely see beavers, swans, great blue herons and all types of ducks.
“Sandy loves to feed them,” says Kelly of his wife, who then interjects, “and photograph them. But they do become

your 'pets.' They are very tame.”
Every spring the geese and swans bring their newborn babies to the marina to feast on the ample donations from float home owners. “We would open this window here and they'd all come swimming over,” says Kelly.
Over time, they've gotten to know the “regulars.” There's George the seal, Harry the heron, Baxter the duck (who is flightless), and many others.
The unobstructed view of the river is also a huge bonus for many float home owners.
So, what's it like being on a floating building? Honestly, you can't even tell most of the time. Unless, of course, there's a storm. In that instance you (reportedly) feel like you're in the back of a pickup truck going down a logging road.
“We have learned that a nor'wester really bangs you around at night,” says Sandy. “We had one two Saturdays ago and this house was a'bobbin' and a'swingin'.” The couple say typically the doors will slowly open and close and the motion is detectable but nothing falls over or breaks. In fact, Kelly says it can actually be very soothing after you get used to it. Sandy agrees. “I actually walk onto the land now and I feel strange.”
neighbours are very respectful of each other's privacy and whatever personal space they have. Another question pops into my mind. Why are float homes coloured like in the Maritimes or northern territories? Nobody seems to know for sure.
“I think it reflects the personalities of the people that live around here,” ventures Sandy with a grin.
At this point you're probably wondering, OK, what's the price range of a float home? Well, it depends. If you're in a marina where you buy the float home and the water lot then you can pay anywhere from $500,000 to $900,000, since you're essentially paying for the “land” as well. At Ladner Reach Marina, which owns the water lots, buyers only purchase the float home and then pay moorage to the marina, which includes services like garbage collection. In that type of situation a smaller sized float home can go as cheaply as under $300,000, with sale prices rising upwards of $550,000.
“Which is quite affordable, obviously,” says Kelly. “There's no guarantee we'll be able to stay here forever, but if you're comfortable paying rent and some moorage then this is a very economical way to have a million dollar view and not have to pay a million dollars for it.”
Arrrrrr, landlubbers!
Like so many things that happen down on the river, the storm then gives the neighbours something to talk about. With one small walkway everybody shares, conversation about the weather and other pleasantries is inevitable.
“The people that choose the floating home lifestyle are somewhat off the grid, they're different characters, they're salt-of-the-earth people,” says Sandy about their fellow “floaties.”
If Ladner and Tsawwassen can be considered small communities, then a float home marina is the next level down. But because float homes are so close to one another,

Farm focus
Westham Island farmers open up on Facebook As the general public becomes better aware of healthy eating, they've increasingly looked at food production to determine that what they're putting on their dinner table is the best possible quality. Part of ensuring that quality includes knowing where the food comes from, and who produced it. Which is why Katie Leek of Emma Lea Farms on Westham Island decided to write twelve profiles about the farmers who work on their land, publishing photos and descriptions on their Facebook page.
“I just think it's important. People are so interested in food production and knowing their farmer,” says Katie, a fifth-generation farmer whose family has been on the island since 1885. “I just wanted people to feel free to know us completely outside of the farm and what we do on the farm.” Originally a dairy and vegetable farm, Katie's parents Kevin and Joanne Husband began growing berries in the late 1970s, before purchasing adjacent land in 1986 to build a store and do farm-direct selling and U-Pick. Being a farm-direct market, Katie says customers might only see Katie or her parents and not all of the farmers who put in the hard work of growing food. “Although those people aren't working in the stand they are obviously hugely important to our farm,” she says.
Emma Lea Farms grows a variety of fruits and vegetables which they sell at their store during the farming season, and for BC Fresh on the off-season. The constant work allows them to employ 10 year-round employees.
FROM LEFT: KATIE LEEK WITH HER DAD KEVIN HUSBAND, MOM JOANNE HUSBAND, BROTHER JEFF HUSBAND AND SISTER KELLI HUSBAND. PHOTO BY SHELBY ROSE PHOTOGRAPHY
Katie posted up photos and bios of those employees in the name of farming transparency . “We want people to ask questions and we'll give very honest answers. We just want good information to get out there because there's a lot of misinformed people about certain farming practices.”
It was also a way of acknowledging the unsung heroes of farming, adds Katie, a way of telling the public how much they value their workers. She says she learned quite a bit more about the lives of everybody on the farm just by sitting down one on one and having a chat. Even the stories she already knew gave her pause to reflect on how rare it is that her father still lives in the house he grew up in. Farmers are bonded to the land, it gives back what they put into it. Unlike people who move to where the best-paying job is, there are several families on Westham Island like the Husbands who have lived there their entire lives. You can read all of the profiles at Emma Lea Farms's Facebook page.

When Holly Hastie moved to Tsawwassen from Saskatchewan six years ago she was afraid of the big city and didn't really know anybody in town.
That all changed when she joined the South Delta Newcomers and Alumni, the unofficial welcome wagon for new female residents, by existing female residents.
The group tells the newcomers about where the dentist and doctor offices are located, good places to eat and shop, and generally make them feel at home. Today, Holly is a member of the alumni who welcomes newcomers, remembering what her own experience was like. “We describe to them what the organization can provide to them and we show them the sign-up sheets, we introduce them to other executive members, talk about the ongoing activities,” says the pastpresident and former social coordinator.
For a newly widowed woman, Linda says finding the Newcomers and Alumni was a great way to find people with common social interests.
FROM LEFT: LINDA RIGBY, HOLLY HASTIE, HEATHER PATTULLO ARE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH DELTA NEWCOMERS AND ALUMNI
The South Delta Newcomers and Alumni offers a multitude of fun activities like book clubs, cycling, tea and coffee parties, knitting, ladies or couples bridge, movie outings, walking groups and even tours to Vancouver. Holly says she took a deep breath and went on a walking tour of Vancouver with others from the organization. As it turned out, the big city wasn't so scary with friends along. The current president, Linda Rigby, joined the organization in November 2011 after having moved
into the community as a recently retired widower.

“I went and the first person I met walked up to me and said I know you. You're my best friend's friend, you work together. That was nice to know somebody.”
At first she didn't know about the Newcomers and Alumni, but during a visit to the Riefel Bird Sanctuary with the Elder College she thought it might be interesting.
You may attend two consecutive meetings of the South Delta Newcomers and Alumni as a guest, after which you will be requested to join at an annual fee of $25. General meetings are held the third Thursday of every month from September to June at the Kiwanis Longhouse Centre for the Visual Arts starting at 7:15 p.m.
“I was looking for new people to do things with an organization that had a really varied group of activities,” she recalls. “What happened for me was I started walking but then I met other people that introduced me to a wider variety of people so it expanded my social group.”

There will be deadheading to do as the spring blooms finish and pinching of the annual flowers to encourage them to bush out. Cutting off the first flowers is so painful after waiting months for the flowers to open. There will be harvesting to do in the kitchen garden, peas to pick, garlic scapes to cut and lettuce ready to harvest.
June signals the beginning of berry season and I will be picking raspberries and making jam. There will be canes to tie in as the new growth on raspberries start to grow. The tomato plants will be getting
tall enough to train along the support wires. Basil will need the flowers pinched off and the leaves made into delicious pesto for winter meals.
