Chilliwack designer basks in VFW spotlight

By Adam Louis

It wasn’t something she planned, but Chilliwack fashion designer Anelia Basson found herself showing her colourful creations during one of the biggest fashion events in the world.

Basson said the organizers of Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) reached out to her after perusing her Instagram account (@anelia.art) and seeing her bright, sunny creations.

Basson said she got her start in fashion by infusing eco-friendly fabrics with bright, whismical colours, melding art and fashion into a new, bright, beautiful something; altogether. She stands proudly by her flamboyant use of colours and the healing powers thereof.

“Vancouver is so dark in the winter time; nobody can see you,” Basson said. “We should be brighter and not go and hide away. If green is your colour, wear it!

People feel better when they wear certain colours.

Basson said the planners, models and fellow designers behind VFW were consummate professionals and the Enter experience was a thrill.

Vancouver Fashion Week has been going strong since 2001; showcasing fashion talent from both established and yet undiscovered designers. It is the second largest fashion event in North America - meant to display clothing and accessories from creators all over the world and to celebrate their respective cultures.

Basson’s creations are completely locally made and environmentally friendly.

Do you ever see old items and get the overwhelming Fresh Produce and urge to handle them? Well have no fear, the discovery Homemade Relish bins are here for you!

By Archivist: Located in the back section of our permanent exhibit is an interactive discovery bin station.

The discovery bins provide a more hands on and interactive experience for visitors of all ages, though they tend to appeal largely to children.

For children, these bins help them learn about and test out tools (or rather artifacts) people once used in their home, work or everyday life.For other visitors, the artifacts in the bins can be a trip down memory lane, as they see familiar items that may have been found in their childhood home’s kitchen or toy bin.

Tristan Evans

We currently have six themed discovery bins available for exploration. The themes are farming, home, toy, travel, education and local First Nations history. In each bin various artifacts are provided along with interactive games, worksheets, and information on the artifacts.

The worksheets can be helpful in starting the conversation about what something is and how it may haveFamily be used. Packing A Discovery Plums, Hunt booklet Kipp ca. takes visitors through each bin as a type of 1880s scavenger hunt.

The most iconic produce stand in Chilliwack’s history might just be Christie’s Produce Stand.

Christie’s Service Station, 1936 James Christie and Caroline Runzer married in 1925 at the age of 38 and 25 respectively. The relatively new immigrants to Canada opened a restaurant in Stony Plain, Alberta.

In 1935 a devastating fire destroyed their restaurant so the couple packed up shop and moved to Chilliwack.

They purchased land on Yale Road West just south of Cheam Avenue near the gates of the City for $600.

Upon arrival in Chilliwack, James immediately built a Standard Oil gas station that contained the living quarters for the family and a small lunch counter. The gas station was sold in 1939. A newer Chevron station still operates at the same location as Christie’s gas station. In a 2005 interview, James and Caroline’s daughter Audrey Neufeld recalled how, “Dad was quite an entrepreneur, he had all

Makes: 20-24 cookies, Preparation time: 20 minutes, Cooking time: 8-10 minutes

Ingredients

Method

1 cup / 225g butter or vegan butter 1/2 cup / 60g confectioners sugar ) (&* Zlgj & *''^ Xcc gligfj\ Ô fli#

Preheat oven to 400F / 200C / Gas mark 6 Cream the butter and sugar together k_fifl^_cp% 8[[ Ô fli# jXck# mXe`ccX Xe[ pecans, and mix well.

Cover dough and chill for half an hour.

Form dough into small balls (about 1 inch / 2.5cm diameter). If the dough seems too crumbly don’t be tempted to add water or the resulting cookies will be hard, just let the heat from your hands gradually bring it all together. Place 2 inches / 5cm apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until set but NOT brown (8-10 minutes). Allow to cool for 3 minutes before removing from baking sheet, then roll in icing sugar. When completely cool, roll in the confectioners sugar again. They make lovely festive handmade gifts in pretty boxes.
