Rail companies should deliver cargo details, says city

Move aimed at improving emergency response planning

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Civic politicians are seeking more in-formation from rail companies about what’s being shipped on Richmond rail lines.

Following a recent unanimous vote, city council is urging Minister of Trans-port Lisa Raitt to open up the informa-tion railway—so local emergency re-sponse offi cials know the nature, exact volume and frequency of dangerous goods being transported here.

New federal rules require rail com-panies to provide municipalities with quarterly reports on transported mate-rials. But the report only provides total amounts, and the information comes after the material has already moved through Richmond.

It’s good information, according to Richmond Fire-Rescue Chief John Mc-Gowan, but not detailed enough. More data would help in emergency planning and emergency response training, he said.

“It helps for more precise planning when we understand the exact nature of the risk coming through our city,” Mc-Gowan told council.

The federal government introduced new disclosure rules for railway compa-nies last November, following the July 6, 2013 rail disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que. Forty-seven people died after a derail-ment and explosion levelled the centre of the small Quebec town.

Farmers market welcomes first liquor producer to Steveston streets on Sunday, O’Hare’s now welcomes minors


A brewery will begin selling craft beer on the streets of Steveston Sunday—the fi rst liquor producer to do so following the province’s relaxation of booze rules.

Delta-based Four Winds Brewing Co. will be sampling and selling its brews alongside the 70 to 80 other vendors at the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market.

“It’s something that people have never seen at our market before, so it just adds another dimension to what we have to off er,” said Hen-ry Pietraszek, market manager.

The province announced a batch of liquor policy changes on June 21, including allowing local liquor manufacturers at B.C.’s farmers markets. Producers can now ap-ply directly to markets, and it’s up to organizers to decide which vintners, distillers and brewers are accepted.

Pietraszek said interest in the Steveston market from would-be vendors was immediate.

“The weekend that the change became offi cial, applications start-ed coming in.”

A few other applications are un-der review, said Pietraszek, adding the Steveston market will proceed slowly in introducing liquor ven-dors.

The B.C. government is planning

a complete re-write of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. That’s scheduled for spring 2015. In the meantime, the province is phasing in changes.

“Being able to pick up a bottle of local wine at your local farmers market is one of many balanced changes that support conve-nience and choice for consumers and economic growth for B.C.,” said B.C. Attorney General Su-zanne Anton in a news release.

The open-air Steveston market runs on fi rst and third Sundays through the summer from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: July 6 and 20, Aug. 3 and 17, and Sept. 7 to 21.

A few entertainers, including the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra, will perform at Sunday’s market

to complement the vendor expe-rience, said Pietraszek.

“For me the market is all about the interaction between the ven-dors and the members of the public. That’s the energy that’s cre-ated—you can feel it when you’re walking there.”

Another signifi cant change in B.C. liquor policy allows approved

liquor-primary establishments—such as pubs and legions—to ac-commodate patrons under age 19.

Last Friday, O’Hare’s GastroPub, at 5031 Steveston Hwy., became one of the fi rst pubs in B.C. to wel-come minors, after B.C.’s liquor regulator approved a licence amendment.

Operator Grant Bryan called the change, “monumental.”

“This is, by far, the biggest change we have seen in our 27 years of operating O’Hare’s,” he told The Richmond Review.

Pubs with amended licences re-quire minors to be accompanied by an adult, and stay no later than 10 p.m. Eligible establishments must also serve food.

Airport officials ‘adopt’ panda 10,000 kilometres away to mark Sichuan Airlines milestone


It’s small, cute and has a constant han-kering for bamboo. It’s also named after Richmond’s main island.

An infant panda bear 10,000 kilome-tres away in Chengdu, China has been given the name Lulu, after Vancouver Airport Authority adopted the black-and-white bear last Friday to celebrate Sichuan Airlines’ second anniversary at Vancouver International Airport.

The airport authority’s donation will help fund research and conservation programs at Chengdu Panda Base, a

non-profi t research and panda breed-ing facility where Lulu makes his home.

Social media users and airport staff chose the Lulu name, which means “precious jade” in Chinese, according to YVR.

“We’re excited to celebrate all-things-panda with our community and Sich-uan Airlines, which two years ago chose YVR as its fi rst and only entry point into North America: a testament to our po-sition as a global gateway,” said CEO Craig Richmond, airport CEO, in a news release.

The panda bear adoption coincides with a panda festival at Richmond Night Market, which is off ering a con-test to win a family trip to visit Sichuan province and Chengdu Panda Base.

On June 22, 2012, the fi rst direct fl ight linking North America and China’s inte-rior province of Sichuan touched down at YVR, marking the start of a three-times-a-week service.

Sichuan province is home to 100 mil-lion people, approximately three times the population of Canada.

Vancouver International Airport gets panda link

Early spring transit referendum likely, but question up in airby Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver mayors are shifting gears on how to pay for their massive transit investment plan, returning to previously discarded options like a vehicle levy or a regional sales tax.

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said that now appears more likely after the province re-jected any reallocation of its existing carbon tax revenue.

Although mayors had specifi ed a new regional carbon tax as their backup source when they tabled the plan earlier this month, Walton now calls that “problematic” because it would largely act as an increase in the gas tax, which has re-cently become an unreliable source of cash for TransLink.

“If you raise the price at the pump, the gross revenue declines and that’s self-defeating,” Wal-ton said after last week’s meeting of the mayors’ council.

“Ultimately it looks like we’re moving back to-wards discussions concerning the vehicle levy and the sales tax,” he said, adding that will re-quire more discussions with the province this summer.

According to plan documents, a regional sales tax of 0.25 to 0.5 per cent would generate $125 to $250 million a year.

An annual vehicle levy of $72, charged on top of insurance, would generate about $100 mil-lion. Options include a fl at fee or one that var-ies based on a vehicle’s emissions or how far it’s driven in a year.

The plan needs new funding of $110 million per year initially, rising to $390 million several years in, although that assumes big capital con-tributions from Victoria and Ottawa.

Mayors have not yet set a fi rm date for the referendum the province requires on any new TransLink taxes – Transportation Minister Todd Stone directed them to pick one by July 15.

But Walton said late March or early April of next year looks likely, provided a date can be found when students and families aren’t away on spring break.

That leaves very little time to hammer out the funding decisions and develop a public engage-ment strategy, Walton said, particularly with lo-cal mayors campaigning this fall for re-election.

“There’s a massive amount of work to do,” Wal-ton said. “The timing of this could not be worse for us to do the job well. It’s such a pity because this referendum, if it does go ahead, is probably the most critical vote in the region for a decade.”

Several mayors expressed frustration that Transportation Minister Todd Stone has indicat-ed the $7.5-billion plan is too costly and needs to be pared down or stretched out over 20 years instead of 10.

“Waiting for 20 years is simply not going to as-sist the region in any way, shape or form,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding the province should lobby for the use of federal contributions other than the Build Canada fund.

“That’s the plan. That’s what we need. It has to be done within the 10-year time frame.”

She and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore Moore both said Stone must step up and enter active talks with the mayors to spell out what the province will accept.

“This back and forth has got to stop,” Watts said.

“If the province thinks it can’t aff ord it or proj-ects aren’t required they should come and work with us and tell us which ones they want to re-duce,” Moore added.

“To continually learn all of these new param-eters through a press conference is not a good way for us to develop a partnership on how to deliver this.”

More coordinated planning between Translink and the province is critical, he said, because it would be unwise to build a new bridge without

knowing how it aff ects other parts of the trans-portation system, or to build a rapid transit line without knowing if it will aff ect tolls generated on a bridge.

Some mayors suggested the choice of funding sources be left up to voters.

Moore said a preferential ballot could give multiple options.

Stone warned earlier in the week any plan and new taxes to pay for it have to be aff ordable to families.

But Moore argued the same lens should be used to scrutinize the do-nothing scenario.

“How will it aff ect aff ordability for families if your road system is clogged, and it takes you longer to get to work and you can’t get goods to market?” he asked.

“The cost to the economy, the cost to families will be much greater if you don’t do anything.”

Richmond children’s

singer to also perform at Splash Toys for Costa Rica Day


Children’s performer Charlotte Diamond will kick off the Gulf of Geor-gia Cannery’s Music at the Cannery 2014 concert series Friday.

The Richmond singer-songwriter will be on stage with her son Matt for the family concert—for which she’ll bring a maritime twist. Diamond will be singing some folk songs about fi shing and the sea, including “Where the Coho Flash Silver All Over the Bay,” by Lloyd Arntzen, and “When the Tide Goes

Out the Table Is Set” by Brian Robertson—a song she included on her album Charlotte Diamond’s World.

“This concert will be special for me as my husband, Harry Dia-mond, was a commer-cial salmon fi sherman as a gillnetter and troller for 20 years before joining me to work for our company, Hug Bug Music,” Diamond told

The Richmond Review. “He still speaks fondly

of his memories of fi sh-ing on the coast and in the Fraser River. When I was still teaching high school at New Westmin-ster Secondary, I used to fi sh up north with him during the summers.”

The cannery audience can also expect to hear Diamond favourites such as “I am a Pizza,” “Four Hugs a Day” and

“Listen to the Water.” She’ll also perform her song “Octopus (Slippery Fish),” which is now a children’s book called Slippery Fish in Hawai’i.

Summer concerts at the cannery—an annual event—have plenty of folk fl air. It’s a genre Diamond has a keen in-terest in, having opened for folk legend Pete Seeger at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in 1983.

“I was inspired by the way he engaged an audience with only his voice and a banjo. Everyone was singing along, in harmony. That experience showed me the power of music and singing as a way to bring people together.”

Two years later, Diamond launched my own music career, releasing her fi rst album 10 Carrot Diamond. After three decades in the music business—in-terrupted last year by breast cancer—she’s still performing and writing today.

The Music at the Can-nery series is sponsored by G&F Financial Group, Cannery Brewing Co. and Canada Berries, and is presented in collabo-ration with The Beat Merchant. The series continues every Friday night until Aug. 29, rain or shine. Shows start at 6:30 p.m.; admission is by donation.

Diamond will be re-turning to Steveston the following Friday, July 11, for a mini-concert and book signing at Splash Toys at 3580 Moncton St. at 11 a.m.

The event coincides with Costa Rica Day at the toy store, which is sporting the Central American nation’s co-lours for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In tribute, Diamond will be singing some songs in Spanish.

Richmond RCMP dis-mantled a suspected meth lab on Cambie Road last week.

Police often rely on witnesses’ eyes and ears for crime tips, but in this case, it was a nose that smelled trouble.

Police were called to a townhouse in the 11000 block of Cambie Road near No. 5 Road on Thursday after get-ting a call that there was a strange odour in the area. Police found what can they de-scribed as a “pre-cursor lab where it appears the chemicals needed to make meth were be-ing broken down.”

Police were still on the scene Friday dis-mantling the lab.

“These types of labs can be very danger-ous and this is a well-

populated area of Richmond, we are very glad someone called to report the unusual smell,” said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie

Ashton.Police are asking any-

one with information about this incident to contact Richmond RCMP at Richmond_

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Two-thirds of payday loan users in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria resort to the high-cost lenders at least three times a year, according to a new poll.

The Insights West survey was conducted for Vanc-ity Credit Union, which has launched its own lower cost loan off ering

for payday loan users.The poll found 35 per

cent of users took out payday loans at least once a month, while another 32 per cent said a few times per year.

The main reasons given were having an unex-pected expense, getting behind on bills or because a debt came due.

Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said he was surprised by

the frequent use of high-cost payday loans among those surveyed.

“There’s no light at the end of the tunnel if you’re relying on these services several times a year,” he said. “You may be happy you’ve subdued some of the debts you have, but down the road it’s really going to get you.”

More than 100,000 B.C. residents—about three per cent of the adult

population—took out 800,000 payday loans in 2013, according to Con-sumer Protection B.C.

Vancity vice-president Linda Morris said the credit union’s new Fair & Fast Loan is a low-cost alternative to help mem-bers who might other-wise turn to payday loans get out of the cycle of debt and rebuild their credit history.

Members can borrow $300 for a minimum two-month term and pay it off after two weeks at a total cost of $2.20, equivalent to a 19 per cent annual interest rate.

In contrast, B.C. legisla-tion lets payday lenders could charge a maximum of $69 on the same $300 loan, equivalent to a 600 per cent annual interest rate.

The maximum Vancity will loan is $1,500 and the ability to repay over two years in addition to the credit union’s more le-nient approval criteria is pitched as a way for bor-rowers in fi nancial trouble to repair damaged credit ratings.

Going through a divorce or separation ?

Payday loan fees remain highFrom Page 6

Ernie Bodrogi, a credit counsellor in Burnaby at Credit Counsellors of B.C., said provin-cial legislation passed five years ago to rein in predatory payday lenders has done little to stop the problem.

“The fees are astro-nomical and they still are after the legisla-tion,” he said.

“I see very expen-sive products com-ing across my desk and folks that have no chance of repaying it.”

But Bodrogi isn’t con-vinced Vancity’s offer of kinder, gentler pay-day lending is the an-swer.

He questions what would stop someone from getting the Vanc-ity loan and then also using other payday lenders.

“It’s the serial borrow-ing that’s the problem,” Bodrogi said.

“People go into one place, then they go down the street to get some more, then they go to a third one to pay off the first one.”

He said more borrow-ing should never be a central strategy to solv-ing financial woes.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University has announced its own review of execu-tive compensation after a provincial government review declared the university broke the rules by making two pre-employment payments of $50,000 each to president Alan Da-vis and former vice president Anne Lavack.

The announcement was made by Davis, who said “the recipients, in-cluding myself, were unaware that these contracts might be non-com-

pliant in some way with BC public sector regulations.”

Davis said it was clear that before he became president “there was an established pattern of issuing pre-employment consulting contracts to people being hired to senior posi-tions” and other such contracts were issued before the two that attracted government attention.

“I am therefore conducting my own review of these issues, using indepen-dent external resources as required,” Davis said in a written statement re-leased by the university.

Davis said the results and recom-

mendations of his review “will be shared with the KPU Board and, to the extent allowed by legal and privacy

regulations, with the broader KPU community and the public later this summer.”

opinion

The Supreme Court of Cana-da’s landmark

decision on aborigi-nal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many ques-tions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this centu-ry? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autono-mous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hun-dreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argu-

ment in its first appeal. She also upheld the deci-sion of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s posi-tion that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.

Here’s McLachlin’s defi-nition:

“The nature of aborigi-nal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land owner-ship in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal commu-nities.

Another big ques-tion: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the bar-ricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the hand-ful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aborigi-nal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can con-vert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.

One of the big ques-tions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipe-line project dead?

None of the aboriginal

communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aborigi-nal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seek-ers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose

occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Hai-da Nation was represent-ed in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation presi-dent Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court rul-ing. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision

Two weights, two mea-sures. Whichever is more convenient.

At least that is how it seems Prime Minister Stephen Harper deals with science, scientists and their advice.

What other explanation can there be for Harper saying, in a CBC interview, in reference to parents who for various reasons do not allow their children to receive

immunization shots, “it’s a tragedy when people start to go off on their own theories and not listen to scientifi c evidence.”

Let’s take a pause to let that bit of irony sink in.

Harper has consistently worked to eliminate or, at minimum, im-pede the development of scientifi c research, eliminate the objectiv-ity of science from any debate by muzzling scientists, cutting

budgets and just plain ignoring their fi ndings and advice.

Facts can be problematic, a nuisance, a hinderance, especially when he has an agenda and the only thing between Harper and the realization of his agenda is science.

Unless of course the facts sup-port his agenda.

Knowledge of our environment, and the deplorable condition it is in, is particularly troubling for

Harper’s agenda.So gone is most of the funding

for Environment Canada, Fisher-ies and Oceans, as well as for the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory, and the Experimental Lakes Area.

If we don’t know how misman-aged and mistreated the environ-ment is, then we won’t have to lie awake worrying.

lettersLimit councillors to two termsEditor:

Can there be any doubt that the city will accept the cash off er for the latest development to apply for a cash instead of aff ordable housing? They have yielded every single time so far. They made the rule with a promise of aff ordable housing coming to Rich-mond—nothing but money into the coff ers so we can subsidize the white elephant that is the oval.

City council works part time, they are not available to their citizens unless it is for the chance of getting their names and photos in the papers. Our councils should not be elected for life—two terms should be a maximum. Do you know that councillors receive more than $55,000 per year plus expenses, and addi-tional pay for attending outside meetings? The mayor is double that.

Too bad we can’t have someone elected that is truly there for the people, rather than that part-time job that pays full-time wages. Is it any wonder why they want to stay on year after year, election after election.

Jim Crighton, Richmond

Highway to Heaven comes together for Canada Day

Editor:For the fi rst time in Richmond and possibly in

B.C.’s history, more than twenty places of wor-ship, representing world’s major religions, along Richmond’s No. 5 Road, popularly known as the Highway to Heaven, came together to participate in Canada Day celebrations.

A 45-foot long trailer/fl oat decorated with the banners of all of the participating places of worship took part in the Steveston Salmon Festival Parade.

About two years ago, representatives from various places of worship along a few kilometers stretch of No. 5 Road, came together under the leadership of India Cultural Centre of Canada’s Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) Nanak Niwas and formed the Highway to Heaven Association. Since then, they have met a few times to discuss matters of common interest. After some discussions, it was decided to par-ticipate, as group, in the Salmon Fest parade. The group never looked back.

A number of tireless volunteers have worked very hard to make it happen. Decorating the fl oat has been a truly community eff ort. It is a unique way to refl ect harmony in religious diversity.

The Highway to Heaven Association Float is an impressive display of mutual goodwill and peace. It goes to show that regardless of our religious and cultural beliefs and values we can live together in peace and harmony.

Such an initiative sends a strong message to the people around the globe that rather than creating divisions and confl icts, religious tolerance goes a long way in creating peace and harmony.

Our Highway to Heaven is a great model of mu-tual co-operation, universal love and peace.

Seniors put green thumbs to work at Sharing FarmGreenhouse volunteer program encourages seniors to get active and contribute to their community

by Matthew Hoekstra and Martin van den HemelStaff Reporters

A new volunteer program for active seniors is making green thumbs at Richmond’s Sharing Farm.

The Seniors Greenhouse Club program invites seniors to the Sharing Farm at Terra Nova Rural Park to enjoy fresh air, new friends and the rewards of help-ing others.

The program is a chance for volunteers to put their gardening skills to good use—or learn new ones—and participate in age ap-propriate activities at the Sharing Farm’s greenhouse and gardens. Tai chi sessions and refreshments are also part of the weekly event.

It happens each Monday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. until Oct. 27, ex-cluding holidays. Transportation is also available via a shuttle that departs from Brighouse library’s book drop location between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. The shuttle bus transports participants from the farm and back to the library at 1

p.m.Anyone wishing to volunteer at

the farm can take the shuttle, but preference is given to seniors.

The project is funded in part by the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program, which has contributed $19,000 to help older adults remain ac-tive, healthy and contributing members of the community.

Sporting raised beds that make it easier for seniors to plant seedlings and eventually harvest crops for donation to the local food bank, the club will use the money to upgrade its collec-tion of garden tools and modify greenhouse shelving that will make it easier for seniors to ac-cess.

The project is expected to ben-efi t 5,000 seniors.

“As people get older, they look for new ways to stay active and make a diff erence in their com-munities,” said Richmond MP Alice Wong, minister of state for seniors, at a funding announce-ment this spring. “By supporting projects such as these, we’re

making sure that seniors main-tain a good quality of life.”

Greenhouse co-ordinator Susan Lee Hem acknowledged that “community-minded seniors” played a pivotal role in the founding of the Sharing Farm.

“I have to remember Mary Gazetas and her friends who are the ones who initially started off by gleaning fruits trees within Richmond and from there began growing vegetables in the Steveston area,” she said at the announcement.

She recognized the Sharing Farm has a great environment for socializing and contributing to the community.

“We need to get that message out there to the seniors who are feeling isolated, who are feeling like they are no longer useful, who have lost connection maybe with their friends, who are no longer active in the workplace—to know that there is a place for you.”

ONE BEDROOM SUITE AVAILABLE A special “topping off ” ceremony last week means Richmond seniors in need of aff ordable housing are less than a year from moving into the fi rst of two new 15-storey residential towers in the heart of the city.

The new Kiwanis Towers at 7388 and 7378 Gollner Ave. (formerly 6291 Minoru Blvd.) will provide 296 new rental apartments for seniors with low-to-moderate incomes. The project is being built through a joint ef-fort of government, community organizations and the private sector.

Polygon Minoru Aff ordable Seniors Homes Ltd., a member of the Polygon family of companies, is act-ing as the development and construction managers for the two towers in conjunction with an adjoining market residential development. They welcomed proj-ect participants to a ceremony to mark the completion of the tower structure for the fi rst of the two towers. With the fi nal phase of construction now underway, it is anticipated the building will be ready for occupancy in the spring of 2015.

The site formerly contained a 122-unit seniors’ hous-ing complex owned and managed by Richmond Ki-wanis Senior Citizens Housing Society since 1961. The society provided approximately $21 million in proceeds from selling land to Polygon for the adjoin-ing market housing site. Kiwanis will own and manage the new seniors’ development.

“The new buildings will more than double the num-ber of aff ordable units originally on the site as well as off er indoor and outdoor space for resident programs,” said Jack Mulleny, spokesman for the Richmond Ki-wanis Senior Citizens Housing Society. “We are look-ing forward to opening our doors in spring 2015 and welcoming residents to their new homes in what we believe will be a bright and inspiring new community.”

The City of Richmond has allocated up to $20.8 mil-lion over fi ve years for this project. The entire amount

comes from the city’s Aff ordable Housing Reserve, funded by developer contributions. In addition, the City will continue to assist in the development of a resi-dent management plan to address operations as well as resident wellness and management programming.

“We are thrilled to see this building taking shape and becoming a reality,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “In-creasing our inventory of aff ordable housing is one of Council’s top priorities. In particular, aff ordable hous-ing for seniors is one of our most pressing needs. Our thanks to all the participants who have made this proj-ect happen, and especially to Richmond Kiwanis for taking a leadership role in addressing senior housing needs in our community for more than half a century.”

The B.C. government will provide up to $19.7 million in construction fi nancing. The Government of Canada provided Proposal Development Funding of $100,000 through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

In 1967, at Canada’s 100th anniversary, the popular song at the time contained the line “now we are 20 million…..” (the rest of the song was, looking back, a little cheesy so I won’t give the whole thing). Well, the population in the last 47 years has about doubled, but it has more importantly changed in other signifi cant ways and the implications are formidable for the coming several decades. It might be appropriate to say also that the “population ripple eff ects” (if you will) of the second World War are still being felt in our country. Last week, Statistics Canada released the results of the demographic aspects of Canada based upon the last census, of 2011. So, let’s take a deeper look into our population.HistoryCanada lost about 37,000 people in World War II. Mostly, these were men, as women did not have any signifi cant combat roles in that war. It was a heavy toll for a country with such a (then) small population. It dramatically aff ected many families, and hurt our economy as well.In the ten or so years aft er 1945, when the war ended, the so called “baby boomers” were born. In those years, our population was fairly well distributed, in the sense that there were many more young people (under 15) than older people. Life expectancy at the time was far from where it is today. Remember also that in those years there was no CPP. Life was harder. Th ere were not as many people in the 20-30 age group, likely the result of the losses we suff ered during the war. Also, the composition of the population was such that the numbers of persons above age 45 diminished with each year. Put another way, our population was young. And, there were many more people under age 15 relative to those over 65. Th e distribution changed dramatically in the decades since the end of the war. Medical advancements have been spectacular and life expectancy has climbed. In 2006, the last year the chart was done, the distribution showed the largest proportion of the population being around 45 – 50 years of age. Stats Can says this is the aging baby boomer segment of the population. But perhaps more important, there were in 2006 far more persons at the higher age ranges, and far fewer at the younger age ranges. On July 1, 2013 there were 5,379,600 persons above age 65 (15.3% of the population). Meanwhile, the numbers of persons under age 15 that day was 5,674,100. By now, likely those over 65 outnumber those under 15. Th e gap has changed signifi cantly. Th e reason experts examine carefully those numbers is that they have major implications for the future of our workforce, its ability to keep pace with new technology, maintain a high level of productivity and ultimately, its ability to support our elders. Th e fewer people going forward who can pay into the CPP suggests long term trouble in being able to maintain the CPP (not to mention by the way, the OAS, which is not funded except out of our general revenue!). TodayDemographically and otherwise, what is happening in Canada now is this. First, the population is closing in on 36 million. Th e median age of Canadians is now about 41 years. It has been on the rise for some time. “Median” means that there are as many people now in Canada above age 41 as below it.Th e most recently available measure of new applicants for CPP benefi ts was in April. Th e table (published by Service Canada) shows that across the country there were 26,490 new pensioners (just in April!).Th is gives you further insight into why the Federal Government does not want to increase CPP benefi ts. Th ere are too many new applicants because, of course, the population is aging. To pay more out, will put a strain on the plan in the not so long term!Meanwhile, in the fi ve year period between 2006 and 2011, the numbers of persons between ages 10-14 and 40-44 years plunged. Th e numbers of persons in every other age category rose, especially in the categories of ages 60-64, 85-89 and over 100 years. You see how we are aging.Th ere are some shift s in population – people are moving in high numbers to Alberta, mainly from Ontario, B.C., Quebec and Nova Scotia. Maybe most important, our working age population is aging. A recent article examined this issue just in Ontario. Among the fi ndings are that the newly re-elected premier will have trouble growing the economy in Ontario because of the demographics of her province’s workforce. Th e problem is not confi ned to Ontario but perhaps is more pronounced in Ontario because it is our most populous province. I expect the problems in B.C. are not far diff erent except the numbers here are smaller (our population exceeds 4 million but Ontario’s exceeds 14 million).Of our cities, Peterborough (Ontario) and Trois–Rivieres (Quebec) have proportionally the most seniors (that is, over age 65), at 20.3%. Understandably, they also have the smallest proportion of persons under age 15 (under 14%). Vancouver has a 14.1% proportion of seniors and 14.6% of persons under 15 (perhaps in part due to the high cost of housing for young families).Th e Conclusions?So, as a country we are aging, our birth rate is in decline and immigration helps us maintain a population growth rate. Our labor force is aging, but at least we are living longer. In the next two decades, our senior population will increase dramatically. Th e demands on the CPP and OAS will accelerate. Th erefore, we will need the tax revenue to support the OAS (and the guaranteed income supplement that thousands of seniors now and in the future will need).With good policy implementation and some luck, immigrants to Canada will remain and ultimately contribute from decent jobs to our tax system (there is reason to be concerned with this. Th ere is a high rate of departure from Canada by immigrants within the fi rst ten years of their arrival), and our birth rate won’t sink further so that there will be other, non-immigrant younger persons who will also from decent jobs contribute to our tax system. We need young people, immigrants and otherwise, as do several other developed countries. Th at’s why we need luck.What does this mean for us all? Well, fi rst, we should in my opinion feel fortunate to be here. In the world today, on July 1st, Canada is probably among the best countries, generally, in which to live. Otherwise, whoever you are, start saving if you can because statistics say that you will live above 80 if you are male and above 84 if female. Anyone over 50 now can probably depend on the CPP and OAS for their retirement, but it won’t be enough to fully support you given the costs of living. So, you need to save and invest in assets that will give you a decent return without too much risk. I believe that what worries the government most is a growing seniors population without spending power, which may stall our economy. For individuals, it’s a potentially serious problem. So, start putting together some sort of plan. Don’t let it go much longer. In the meantime, have a pleasant Canada Day (things could be much worse!)

JHub Richmond opens its doors

The Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver and several Richmond Jewish community organizations celebrated the offi cial opening of the new Richmond Jewish Community Service Hub last month.

Richmond is home to the second largest Jewish com-munity in B.C., with a growing number of seniors. JHub Richmond at #212 – 8171 Cook Rd, Richmond. was developed in response to research conducted by the Jewish Federation in 2010 indicating that many Jewish seniors found having to travel to Vancouver to access Jewish social services was a barrier. The new hub is based on a shared services model whereby a variety of community agencies deliver needed services and have access to offi ce space on a set schedule.

In 2011, the board of Jewish Federation committed to raising the necessary funds to lease a centrally located space and hire a co-ordinator to oversee the delivery of services. A planning committee, comprised of rep-resentatives from Beth Tikvah Congregation, Chabad of Richmond, Kehila Society for Richmond, Richmond Jewish Day School, Jewish Family Service Agency, the Jewish Community Centre, Jewish Seniors Alliance and Jewish Federation, met for almost two years to bring the concept to reality. As the planning progressed, the hub evolved from a single focus on seniors to a more broad-based community service hub that would also meet the needs of children, youth and families.

More British Columbians will now be able to borrow advanced health care equipment as Canadian Red Cross opened its new 1,000 square metre facility in Richmond last week servicing Vancouver Coastal Health residents.

HELP Plus provides advanced equipment such as hospital beds, mattresses, fl oor-to-ceiling poles, and patient lifts for loan. It supple-ments Red Cross’s basic Health Equipment Loan Program that loans essential health equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, commodes and bathing assists on a by-dona-tion basis, and with a referral from a health care professional.

“Just last year, more than 86,000 people in B.C. and Yukon borrowed equipment that allowed them to stay at home instead of in hospital,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Canadian Red Cross Director for B.C. & Yukon. “It makes such a positive impact on the lives of the patients—and their family and caregivers—to be able to be at home.”

Red Cross loaned more than 156,000 pieces of health equipment to British Columbians last year and

demand in both volume and types of equipment continues to increase. This new warehouse facility in Richmond will become the central-ized cleaning, repair and distribu-tion hub for the Vancouver Coastal Health region.

The HELP Plus service in the Van-couver Coastal Health region will service clients in Vancouver, Rich-mond and North Vancouver. HELP Plus is already in place in the Island Health and Fraser Health regions and has recently been introduced in Interior Health and Northern Health.

The Canadian Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program is a community-based, volunteer-sup-ported program, with more than 70 locations in B.C. and Yukon. Access to this service lets seniors stay in their home longer, helps people re-turn home from the hospital sooner, and supports palliative patients who wish to spend their fi nal days in the comfort of their own home. HELP programs are made possible by the support of health authori-ties, donations of used equipment, fi nancial donations, and the eff orts of hundreds of volunteers.

by Don FennellSports Editor

Dennis Novikov made a diffi cult decision a year ago—turn pro or return to school.

He opted for the former. And so far, at least, the young American has to be pleased by his choice.

Armed with a powerful serve and massive deter-mination, the 20-year-old who was born in Moscow but raised in San Jose, won his second futures event in the last six weeks at the in-augural Richmond Futures men’s tennis event at Rich-mond Country Club.

After dropping the fi rst set 6-1 to local favourite Filip Peliwo, Novikov re-bounded to win the fi nal two sets 6-4 and 6-4 to take the match. “I feel like I never give up. I don’t give anyone free wins,” said Novikov.

“I have a lot of energy and when I get pumped up I seem to play a lot better. I think it’s in my personality. I’m naturally competitive and I don’t like to lose.”

Making his fi rst trip to Canada, Novikov (the

tournament’s third seed) arrived late last Monday morning (June 23) and played his fi rst match later that day but was still able to quickly oust Australia’s Chris Letcher in straight sets 6-3 and 6-2. He then eliminated eighth seed Mico Santiago of the U.S. 6-0, 6-2 to reach the semi-fi nals where he blew past South Africa’s Rik De Voest, the fi fth seed, 6-1, 6-1.

“Overall I think I got bet-ter every single day and every match,” Novikov said. “I’ve got a lot of mo-mentum going right now. In the last month and a half I won a futures tour-nament in Mexico and now this one, and I won a doubles event last week.”

He hopes to continue to ride the wave through at least the balance of the year, at which point he hopes to improve on his current International Tennis Federation singles’ ranking of 494 to at least No. 250 in the world.

“It’s a doable goal I think,” said Novikov, who will gain valuable points as a result of last weekend’s victory. “I hope to do well in some challengers later

this summer and hope to make the U.S. Open (Aug. 25 to Sept. 8 in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.).”

Novikov enjoyed an auspicious debut at the U.S. Open debut last year, winning his fi rst match over eighth-ranked Jerzy Janowicz of Poland in four sets. He also teamed with

Michael Relicki to defeat fellow Americans Bobby Reynolds and Michael Russell in three sets in fi rst-round doubles action. He was awarded a wild card entry in the main draw at the U.S. Open as a result of winning both the singles and doubles titles at the U.S. Tennis Association boys’ 18s national cham-pionships in Kalamazoo, Mich. in 2012 while a sophomore at University of California-Los Angeles. He chose to go pro after being the No. 1 singles and doubles player for the Bruins in the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation fi nal last May.

•Rik De Voest and Matt Seeberger of the U.S, who were unranked, won the doubles title at the Rich-mond Futures with a 5-7, 7-5 (10-5) victory over No. 3-ranked Hans Hach of Mexico and Canadian Brayden Schnur.

The doubles event also produced a unique local story, as Henry Choi (the head pro at Richmond Country Club) and assis-tant pro Carl Ho teamed up and reached the tour-nament semifi nals, which they lost in straight sets 6-2, 6-4 to De Voest and Seeberger.

It was the fi rst time Choi and Ho, who technically needed a wildcard to get into the Richmond Futures tournament, have paired up.

“I always felt like our games matched because we have two very diff er-ent styles and that usually works out,” said Choi. “I have a little more variety in my game and come to the net a bit more, where-as Carl is a bit steadier and more reliable on the return.”

Multicultural Heritage Festival at Minoru Plaza

An eclectic mix of cultures were repre-sented at the annual Multicultural Heritage

Festival, hosted by the Vancouver Cantonese Opera in partner-ship with the City of Richmond at Minoru Plaza last weekend.

“Although we are Canadian, we still have our roots,” said Rosa Cheng, artistic direc-tor of the Vancouver Cantonese Opera.

The festival celebrated those roots—whether they are Cantonese, Thai, Ukrainian or

Bangladeshi—with two days of dance, music and other performances from around the world.

“This year we (included) new cultures from Russian culture to (Romani) culture,” Cheng said.

Along with the main stage performances there were kids activi-ties set up, food for sale and a table where people could learn how to make pysanky, which

are Ukrainian Easter eggs.

The main objectives of the weekend were to “promote cultural awareness and foster intercultural aware-ness,” according to Cheng.

The Multicultural Heritage Festival provided an opportu-nity for people to learn more about different cultural groups in the community.

This was the first year it was expanded to be held over two days instead of one.

“We definitely have grown,” Cheng said.

“People are getting to know more about this event.”

Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. She may be reached via email at [email protected].
