Snowy owls going hungry in DeltaADriAn MacNairr e p o r t e r

Delta's foremost wildlife rescue agency for birds says the majestic snowy owls that have captivated the hearts of bird lovers are dying from starvation. And part of that is our fault, according to its founding director.

"We've had calls from all over, we've had a few shipped in to us that haven't made it," says Bev Day, founding direc-tor of the Orphaned Wildlife (OWL) Rehabilitation Society. "They're basi-cally starving."

A large number of snowy owls migrated south to the Lower Mainland from the high Arctic for the second year in a row, and have been visible in

large numbers in Boundary Bay at the base of 64th and 72nd streets.

But the birds don't appear to be doing very well. Day says rehabilitating the owls is "touch-and-go" and likened their condition to anorexia. When they come in they have to be fed frequently, but in small portions.

"What happens with a bird of prey is when they're starting to starve and not getting enough food, they actually are eating off their own bodies."

Day believes the birds arrived late in the season because of warm weather conditions in the Arctic and it has caused many to go hungry as a result.

Although food is more plentiful in Boundary Bay and surrounding areas, Day says it is human encroachment

that is likely the cause of their contin-ued deterioration.

"I know photography is a million, billion dollar industry, but you've got these people with these huge frickin' lenses—and I could say something else, but I'll just say frickin'—and they try and get down on the foreshore and they're right in the birds' faces."

Day once saw a woman set her dog on an owl so she could get a picture of it in flight. Says she can't even go down to the dike because what she sees upsets her.

Not only does disturbing the owls cause them to lose energy and heat, Day says it encroaches on time they should be spending hunting mice.

But Day says the birds have likely

moved on from southern B.C. into the northern regions of the U.S., as far south as California.

"Last week at one point there were 30 snowys counted. Two days later there was only five on the shore."

O.W.L. currently has one snowy in captivity that was hit by a car. They are treating the injuries and hope to reha-bilitate the bird for rerelease into the wild, as they do for hundreds of birds every year. The shelter has a record 470 birds in care at present, and the condi-tion of other raptors are markedly simi-lar to the snowy owls.

Donations can be made to O.W.L. for the care and rehabilitation of wild-life. For more information, visit owl-canada.ca.

South Delta autos targeted by thieves

Delta Police arrested a male sus-pect who was spotted breaking into

a car in Ladner on Thursday.Police were called to the 4800-

block of 55B Street after a man had been seen breaking into a parked car and then fled into a nearby resi-dence.

Police were able to track down the male suspect, along with stolen items from the vehicle, arresting him without incident.

The arrest comes less than a day after a separate incident in rural

Ladner that saw vehicles along the 4700-block of 36th Avenue broken into.

Delta Police were called Thursday after the break-ins had been discov-ered from the night before.

Police canvassed the area, but were unable to locate a suspect. The items stolen the vehicles were entered into Police database, and an investigation is ongoing.

Westshore sues over ship crashAdriAn MacNairre port e r

Westshore Terminals is alleging the freighter that crashed into its coal conveyer on Dec. 7, causing 35 tonnes of coal to spill into the ocean, was being operated in a "negligent manner," by her owners, master, pilot and crew, and failed to obey marine laws.

A statement of claim was filed by Westshore Terminals in B.C. Supreme Court the same day as the accident, seeking general damages, interest and costs, the extent to which is as yet unknown. Nick Desmarais, secretary of Westshore Terminals Investment Corporation, said the civil suit is a matter of routine course to protect their legal rights.

The 180,000-tonne Panama-registered Cape Apricot slammed through the coal conveyor at berth one of Westshore Terminals in the early hours of Dec. 7, sending about 150 metres of causeway, trestle, and coal into the ocean.

The lawsuit, which names the owners of the Cape Apricot, Tokei Kaiun Ltd. in Japan, alleges the ves-

sel was "navigated, managed, and operated in a negligent manner…by her owners, master, pilot and crew."

Further, it alleges the vessel failed obey maritime rules, navigate in a safe and prudent manner, approach and dock at the terminal safely, and maintain the vessel in a seaworthy manner. Tokei Kaiun Ltd have yet to file a statement of defence.

Westshore claims it has and con-tinues to suffer losses, damages and expenses from the damage to the trestle and berth, loss of the use of the berth and accessory revenue, and repairs and other costs associ-ated from the accident.

"[Damages] haven't been calcu-lated yet because we haven't fixed it and we're not back in business," said Desmarais, adding that repairs will be fully completed by the end of March.

Although Westshore is placing the blame solely in the hands of the Cape Apricot, Desmarais said they're still not sure exactly what caused the acci-dent since they haven't been able to interview the pilot yet.

"We'll get our chance and it'll get resolved," he said.

Westshore completed salvage

of collapsed road section last week using a 600-tonne Arctic Tuk crane to help get the heavier portions of road section out of the water.

Meanwhile, the federal body look-ing into the Dec. 7 crash has upgrad-ed its investigation to a Class 3.

Mohan Raman, a marine investi-gator with the Transportation Safety Board, said Friday (Dec. 28) a Class 3 investigation is more comprehensive and thorough in finding improve-ments in marine safety standards.

"We have been collecting infor-mation, interviewing the staff on the ship—well, we did and now the ship's gone—and also the personnel that were involved with the dock-ing of the ship," said Raman, adding sorting through everything, assess-ing responsibility and filing a final report is expected to take up to a year to complete.

Raman said he looked at the dam-age to the bow of the ship which, except for a dent and some paint scrapes, left the coal port relatively unscathed.

"Each accident is looked at inde-pendently, since they all have their own uniqueness," said Raman.

McDonald runs for Lib nodrobert MaNgelsdorfed i tor

Another Delta councillor is vying for a seat in the provincial legislature, as Bruce McDonald announced Sun-day he will be seeking the nomination in Delta South for the B.C. Liberal Party in the upcoming 2013 provin-cial election. He joins fellow council-lors Sylvia Bishop, who will be run-ning for the NDP in Delta North, and Scott Hamilton, who is representing the Liberals in Delta North.

McDonald has served seven terms on Delta council, and says he believes he can work at the provincial level to address South Deltans' concerns.

"I bring not only my lengthy gov-ernment experience, but also my knowledge of local and provincial issues as well as a proven commit-ment to the citizens of Delta,” said McDonald in a press release issued Sunday (Dec. 30).

McDonald said his first priority is strong fiscal management, and tout-ed Delta council's successful efforts

to reduce debt over the past 25 years."I want to work to build a strong

economy," he said. "A strong provin-cial economy allows us to maintain and improve our hospitals, transpor-tation infrastructure and education programs that enhance the lives of citizens in this riding and throughout the province.”

Former Delta school board chair Kelly Guichon said she was one of many residents in the riding who encouraged McDonald to seek the nomination.

“Delta South needs a strong voice on many issues including, agricul-ture, transportation and health care," she said. "I have worked with Coun-cillor McDonald over the years and I know he can get the job done for South Delta."

Guichon had previously flirted with the idea of running for the local Liberal nomination herself. Howev-er, she said her commitments to her family and community organizations require her to "stay local."

McDonald has some competition

for the local Liberal nod.Bruce Fougner, a Vancouver travel

agency owner and 25-year resident of Tsawwassen who sits on the Delta Hospital Foundation board of direc-tors, announced his intention to run for the local Liberal candidacy in October and says he has no plans to step aside.

"The goal was always to have a contested riding, and I think having two strong candidates go at it will be good for the party," said Fougner, Monday morning. "This will gener-ate some excitement and good buzz, I think."

Fougner conceded that McDon-ald might have a higher profile in the community, but Fougner said his decades of business experience will be an asset in the legislature.

"It's between a politician and a businessman," he said. "May the best Bruce win."

The B.C. Liberal Delta South riding association is holding their candidate selection meeting on Jan. 22 at the Delta Town and Country Inn.

First Nations at a tipping point: BairdAdriAn MacNairr e p o r t e r

As Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapiskat First Nation in Ontario enters her fourth week of a hunger strike to urge the prime minister to meet with her, First Nations groups and people across Canada have mobilized support under the "Idle No More" banner.

Kim Baird, former chief of the Tsawwassen First Nation for 14 years, said she's not surprised people are expressing their dis-satisfaction to the status quo.

"The level of poverty and low socioeconomic conditions in the country for First Nations was leading to a tipping point."

Baird would know. Until 2009, the Tsaw-wassen lived as a federally administered reserve like at least 600 others across Can-ada. But in 2007, Baird led her people in signing an urban treaty with the province and the federal government that abolished their reserve status, increased their land base, and allowed for self-governance as a municipal entity under provincial land-use laws. As a result, TFN is no lon-ger subject to the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development like Attawapiskat. That doesn't mean Baird no longer sympathizes with their plight. She said people typically don't understand or are unaware of the conditions of many First Nations communities in Canada and feel helpless to change it.

"It seems so complicated and so much to overcome it's a really daunting prospect for a lot of people. If there were an easy solution, it would have been identified already."

Baird said many Canadians lack a fun-damental understanding of civic affairs, let alone the issues facing reserves. She said part of that reason is these issues aren't taught in school until a post secondary level.

"To look at the history of aboriginal relations in Canada and the colonization and the dreadful impacts of that and how that infrastructure fits in with the broader Canadian context is specialized university courses."

Baird said one issue that is often mis-understood is the disparity between Chief Spence's nearly $70,000 salary and the poverty faced by her people.

"If you want to attract good leaders to lead you out of that poverty, you need to provide them with a salary they can sup-port their family. Otherwise they'll go move somewhere else," she said, adding she thinks it's sad First Nations people

believe their leaders shouldn't be paid as well as other leaders.

One number consistently saddled with Attawapiskat is the $90 million the reserve has received in federal funding over the past five years. Baird points out that many reserves, particu-larly in remote areas of Canada, do not enjoy the same service levels and infrastructure most

municipalities take for granted."If you're in a remote First Nation com-

munity, I can't imagine the challenges of retaining people for the services that are needed," she said. "When you look at the services on a per-person basis, you'll find it's a lower figure for First Nations persons than most Canadians enjoy."

And even if First Nation councils allo-cate every federal dollar properly, they don't generally match the needs of the people since those programs and services aren't specific enough.

"First Nation councils don't get to gov-ern, they get to administer Indian Affairs programs and services that don't work for our communities."

With independence comes responsibil-ity, however, which is why TFN has begun some of the most ambitious economic development on First Nations land in Canada. Those plans include an indoor mall with 17 retailers covering 1.2 million square feet and three other major retail stores on another 600,000 square feet. Baird says both the treaty and their eco-nomic plans have been controversial.

"Not every other First Nation think it's a good model. Only time will tell."

Baird has suggested a public dialogue on aboriginal affairs is going to have to happen to find a way to provide First Nations people with the tools to prosper.

"We need to have an understanding that the status quo is unsustainable, financially and otherwise. So if we don't restructure this—and I'm conscious about taxpayers thinking First Nations are a burden—it will continue to be a drain rather than unleash-ing economic potential.

"In a country as wealthy as Canada, there has to be a way."

Baird

Lots of options for Xmas tree disposalstAff writerSouth Delta leaDer

Whether you have a Charlie Brown shrub or a majestic Noble Fir, there are plenty of options to dispose of your tree know that Christmas has passed. Like other green waste material, Christmas trees are compostable and can be turned back into nutrient-rich soil to help grow future Christmas trees.

The Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions will once again be operating their Christ-mas tree chipping fundraiser. Last year, the local Lions chipped more than 2,000 trees while collecting $8,500 for local char-ity projects. This year, you can bring your dried-out pine to one of three locations in Tsawwassen, Ladner, or North Delta to have it chipped by donation from 9 a.m.

to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 5 and Sunday, Jan. 6. Drop-off sites include the South Delta Recreation Centre (1720 56th Street), Memorial Park (5010 47th Avenue), Sun-god Recreation Centre (7825 112th Street).

Christmas trees can also be put out at the curb with yard trimmings on Green Can collection day. Please cut large trees in half so they are easier for collection crews to handle. For more information, contact Delta's Engineering Department at [email protected] or call (604) 946-3260.

For no-charge composting, Christmas trees can be dropped off at Enviro-smart Organics in Ladner (4295 72 Street) from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The City of Vancou-ver Landfill also accepts Christmas trees at their composting facility at 5400 72 Street in Delta. Please visit the vancouver.ca/landfill for hours of operation and disposal rates.

“I do” are not the only words you’ll have to say during your wedding ceremony. Not to put any pressure on you, but your vows are the reason for your union and they should be chosen and spoken with care.

If you have opted for a religious ceremony, many priests or pastors will provide you with traditional vows. If that is the case, you won’t have to think too hard. On the other hand, if you have decided on a more unconventional route, writing your own vows is a wonderfully romantic idea. But what if you can’t quite get your thoughts and feelings down on the page? What if you find yourself stuck in front of a blank page for hours on end? Here are a few suggestions for expressing your love without sounding overly sentimental.

Start by asking yourself the right questions. How did you fall in love with your future spouse? What does commitment mean to you? And marriage? Your answers are the best material to use, as they come straight from your heart.

Keep your vows simple and concise so they will be memorable and interesting. There is nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from a favourite poet or a line from a movie. Most of all, you don’t want to see your guests’ eyelids getting heavy! A good rule to follow is to make the vows about the same length as traditional vows, which are between 30 to 40 seconds long when spoken. If you have too many feelings to

express in this amount of time, then you could take up to a minute, but not any longer.

You won’t make a mistake if you are speaking from the heart. Once you have your vows down on paper, practice them until you have them memorized perfectly. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to have a copy tucked into your sleeve, just in case your nerves play with your memory.

Writing your own vows? How to get past writer’s block

We specialize in exquisitely designed floral creations for all occasions


CenterpieCe: As opposed to having one flower arrangement on a table, people are doing a variety of smaller bud vases with different, single-stemmed flowers. You could use a variety of mismatched vases from the thrift store to create the eclectic look.

Guest lists: We have started to see smaller more intimate guest lists. The couples are still spending the same but it's a more elegant and tasteful event. So, rather than having 300 people in the big hall, couples are inviting 150 guests and they're paying more attention to the food, wine and decor.

theme: The vintage look is still going strong. We can expect to see many more mason jars filled with signature cocktails or simple wildflower arrangements incorporated in reception decor

head tables: Instead of doing the traditional head table at the front of the room, couples are creating a "Harvest Table" inviting the members of their wedding party and their dates to sit at a large, double-sided head table in the center of the room.

It's definitely more social for the wedding party and then this table can be removed after dinner to make room for dancing.

Color: Mint, moss and lime green have been popular choices. Besides looking fresh and chic, these colors have a retro feel and go

great with the "vintage" theme. In case you don’t want to limit yourself to

just one wedding color, you can pick them all. Regardless whether you choose

the bold or subdued hues, we feel today that color has no limits as long as it is complimentary.

lounGinG: Your guest will love the idea with the comfy lounge area at the wedding reception. This could be set both indoors and outdoors.

The South Delta Leader's clairvoyant correspondents consulted their crystal ball to present the public a peck of pithy

prognostications and predictions for the coming year.

• Adrian Dix will become the 36th premier of British Colombia after the NDP sweep to power in a landslide victory in the May provincial election. The B.C. Liberal Party will be unable to hold together their centre-right coalition, allowing the B.C. Conservatives to split the vote just enough to prevent the liberals from getting reelected. As a thank-you for his tireless work to return the NDP to power, Dix appoints John Cummins to a cabinet position.

• The George Massey Tunnel replacement project will steam ahead with years of public consultations, Stakeholder sessions, town hall meetings, and feasibility studies. However, six weeks into the project's environmental assessment, the province will start construction anyways, claiming they don't want the project to get stalled. After all, it's not like birds can vote.

• There will be no 2012/13 NHL season, and when hockey returns in September, it will be to largely empty stands, especially south of the border. long-suffering hockey fans will boycott games, or will have just moved on to the many other sports more deserving of their entertainment dollar. lacrosse anyone?

• The proposed Southlands development will remained stalled in bureaucratic limbo as Delta councillors remain unwilling to take a stand either way on the issue. Expect more public hearings, a lot of talk, and not a lot of action. Which is just fine by many tsawwassen residents, who would prefer nothing to ever happen with the property.

• As global warming causes a sharp rise in sea levels, Port Metro Vancouver will levy hefty lease rates to South Delta residents, as every home in ladner becomes a floating home.

• BC Ferries' Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal will be reassessed for property tax purposes with a value of a single dollar, much like the Horseshoe Bay terminal in West Vancouver was this past year. Ferry execs will hardly have time to celebrate, however, when the federal government steps in and expropriates the property for a new naval base, generously paying the province double the assessed value: two dollars.

Pithy predictions for 2013

editoRiaL

R e : C o u n c i l re v e a l s m a s s opposition to Southlands (South Delta Leader, Dec. 21) and 'Green’ townhome rejected (South Delta Leader, Dec. 21).

Adrian Macnair has done a good job of reporting on what transpired at Municipal Hall

on Dec. 17, as once again the council chambers was flooded w i t h Ts aw w a s s e n re s i d e n t s anxious to hear what next step this council might take regarding the Southlands proposal.

S i n c e t h e p u b l i c h a s expressed over and over again its over whelming opposition t o h o u s i n g / c o m m e r c i a l development on this agriculturally z o n e d p r o p e r t y , I f a i l t o understand why we keep having to do so, and why we keep having to attend meeting after meeting.

If one looks at the ‘Green’

townhome rejected article in this same issue (Dec. 21) he or she will read Coun. Ian Paton’s comments, “As councillors we can’t just take petitions and roll them up and throw them in the trash, we have to listen to what neighbours think”.

I agree. Why therefore didn’t Mr. Paton say anything at the Monday council meeting? Why are residents’ petitions and letters continually ignored?

King tides and storm surges over the past few days should again serve as a wake-up call as to the flood predicament many of our low-lying Metro Vancouver urban areas are in. Over the years we have watched expensive housing developments being approved and built behind low dykes in West Vancouver, North Arm parts of Vancouver, Richmond, Delta and Surrey despite warnings of storm surges and sea level rise.

Presently hikers along the network of river trails in Vancouver have to detour around flooded areas of the riverside dike trails during very high tides.

Even small bridge decks are under water during 16-foot tides combined with winter storm surge events. The problem will get worse as science experts and climate models indicate sea level rise is

well underway and the intensity of winter storms will increase.

We see high water levels right to the top of many existing dikes with little or no free board and that results in flood damage. Parts of the old 1870-built dikes still exist on the Vancouver North Arm of the Fraser River shoreline, and with little diking upgrades over the many years, are a disaster waiting to happen.

In some places pumps and large collection ditches are the only protection today for behind the dike flooding and that assumes we will always have a stable supply of electricity to keep the pumps going. Protection in these low lying river and ocean front areas seems to be a case of wishful thinking, hoping that the big tides combined with extreme weather events never happens.

What then happens if a giant seismic event occurs at the same time of the year?

Governments often pretend that all is under control and we

just have to be proactive. However, sand bags are no longer an option. In that flood-proofing is to cost billions of dollars, have the local governments adequately pushed the Harper government to address the root cause of this problem - global warming? Why allow the mining of vast quantities of fossil fuels to speed up global warming and sea level rise when we in the Metro Vancouver area will be a major victim of sea level rise?

Maybe those promoting the export of giant quantities of coal, gas and oil to Asia such as Port Metro Vancouver, Enbridge and Kinder Morgan should pay a surcharge on their fossil fuel exports to help us address the costs of building ever higher dikes.

Why should Canadians suffer the consequences and costs associated with those that profit greatly by the exploitation, export and burning of our fossil fuel resources?

T he hardest part of being a parent is knowing when to let go. For the parents of children struggling with alcohol and drug addiction,

it can be excruciating."I was knocking down drug dealers' doors to the

point where I was scaring myself," says Tsawwas-sen mother Patricia.

She didn't realize she was obsessed with her son's addiction until she started going to counsel-ling at Tsawwassen's Little House Society. The ses-sions she attended are called Heart of a Mother, a group therapy method focusing on mothers deal-ing with children in active addiction.

Patricia's son started smoking marijuana at the age of 11 and by the time she found out two years later, it was already a habit.

"I called one of his friends' parents and asked what was going on," she recalls. "And they said, what's the big deal? It's only marijuana."

When Liz, also from Tsawwassen, found out about her daughter's drug and alcohol addiction, she didn't know what to do. She knew nothing about drugs and didn't have the first idea how to treat it.

Her daughter was kicked out of school at the age of 15 and then out of the house by her father. That was when she tried to commit suicide for the first time.

"She said after that, if I try to commit suicide again I'll do it for real," says Liz, the decades-old memory still painful.

Liz felt her daughter drifting away."It was a nightmare. I couldn't let go. She was

my little girl."She killed herself in 1997 at the age of only 19. It

was her little brother who found her body, a trau-matizing event that caused him to vow he would never take drugs.

But when his father also committed suicide in 2002, he had nowhere left to turn but to drown his sorrows in substance abuse. Depression and anxiety has put the 31-year-old in and out of rehab ever since.

Jim Stimson, president of Little House, says with drugs, alcohol or suicide, there's a domino effect, and any one person can affect a number of people.

Such was the case with Liz. After her daughter committed suicide there were others in Tsawwas-sen that followed.

"I called us the suicide mothers. They didn't like

that," she says.Patricia says her son and at least 16 other chil-

dren became addicted to crystal meth within a short time of one another at the age of 15. The symptoms were depression, anxiety, anger and insatiable hunger.

"I did everything wrong and everything right," she says, adding she tried unconditional love and then tough love. But nothing worked.

She had an epiphany one night when her son was 17. She went down to the beach and sat under the stars all night long worrying.

"I got the answer somehow in the morning. I realized he had to take care of himself. I had to let go."

Janine Nowacka, counsellor at Cobble Hill Recovery Centre on Vancouver Island and the facilitator for the Heart of a Mother series, says addiction can be a disease of isolation whereby parents experience a feeling of shame. There's also a stigma attached to mothers who have "allowed" their children to become addicted.

"And that's just not true. So, to have a group of women sitting in the same room connecting and sharing their stories, there's something very thera-peutic and cathartic about that."

Nowacka says parents tend to think they can "fix" their children by saying or doing the right thing or showing enough love.

"You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. And actually by trying to fix, man-age and control, you're actually perpetuating this unhealthy dynamic."

Beth and David moved to Ladner when their daughter was in Grade 12. She decided she want-ed to party like everybody else. That meant doing drugs.

"Kids will always tell you, well, everybody's doing it," says David.

They received a phone call from the hospital one day that their daughter, 19 at the time, had

tried to kill herself."When I went to the hospital to see her was

when she told us she was doing alcohol and cocaine," says Beth, adding the news was crush-ing.

"You're desperate," says David. "You go beyond anything you'd ordinarily do," finishes Patricia.

They tried counselling and promises were made. She got into rehab and was in a stable two-year relationship.

Beth grew up in alcoholic family. Going to Heart of a Mother helped her realize how much those experiences affected her.

"A place like Little House, they understand the disease of addiction and they help you with resources," says David.

Jean, from Tsawwassen, joined as a concerned grandmother.

"The idea of Heart of a Mother is to help heal myself because I was drowning and I didn't know which way to turn anymore," she says.

But she doesn't want people to think help is only available to women, adding the word mother more refers to a caregiver than a gender.

"This is where you feel safe. You don't have to explain because everybody's been there."

The Little House Society in Tsawwassen has held several group therapy sessions where mothers and caregivers can talk about their struggle to cope with their children's substance abuse addictions. The result has put many on the path to understanding, the first step toward healing.Adrian MacNair photo

The new year is always a busy time for fitness clubs, and Pilates instructor Linda Mal-

lard, owner of the Tsawwassen Well-ness Centre, has a few tips for making your resolutions stick.

For many people, the resolution to get in shape doesn't last because it is motivated by negativity, says Mallard.

"A lot of people attack their resolu-tion… because they are unhappy with themselves," she says. "But how can you come to a place of self-love, when you are coming from a place of self-loathing?"

Often people will exercise too hard and deny themselves food in order to lose weight, but that approach is

unsustainable."It's almost like people punish

themselves," says Mallard. "It's no wonder so many people quit."

It is important to listen to your body, she says, and if you are in pain, do not push through the pain. Proper nutrition is also key.

"You get out of your body what you put into it."

Mallard says to focus on an attain-able goal with a positive outcome - such as wanting to live pain free, or being able to do a bicycle trip across Europe.

"When you approach it from a posi-tive viewpoint… you'll have a greater chance of success," she says.

ithLynda Brummitt of the Delta Seniors Planning Team looks at services, housing and transportation options for seniors. Adrian MacNair photo

Plan for the agesAs the world turns

another year older, so does the population of Delta.

Lynda Brummitt, coor-dinator of the Delta Seniors Planning Team aims to ensure that transition is a little easier for its seniors.

"The population of Delta isn't growing, so what is growing is the population of seniors," she says.

Brummitt and her team have conducted studies of the services, transporta-tion and housing options for seniors in North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen, in order to make recom-mendations for municipal planners.

"This isn't solely for seniors. It's about making

our community more age-friendly for young children all the way to seniors."

Housing is a big issue for Brummitt. Since few developments open up options for seniors, many have to move away when they retire.

"They lived and raised their kids here, and they want to stay here."

Her goal is to iden-tify "hubs" in Ladner and Tsawwassen where seniors can socialize, shop, and live, often without relying on a car.

Brummitt and the DSPT will soon release a walk-ability study of North and South Delta they conduct-ed last summer.

Metro Vancouver is widely known as one of the best places in the world to live in. Leisure and recreation is right on our doorstep, our economy is thriving, we have a lively arts and cultural scene, and new residents move here in droves.

But what exactly makes the Lower Mainland such a wonderful place to live?

“I think people love living in the Lower Mainland because of the excellent work-life balance,” says Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. “There aren’t many places where someone can ski and golf in the same day in the same city!”

Michael Hungerford, a partner at Hungerford Properties, agrees, saying that Metro Vancouver has it all.

“There’s a tremendous quality of life here,” he says, adding “People recognize the stability that the Lower Mainland has. It’s a great city to work in and have fun.”

Hungerford himself lived outside of the Lower Mainland for 10 years, but kept coming back to Vancouver.

“There are studies that speak to the Lower Mainland as one of the best places to live in the world,” he says. “People want to raise their kids here. They recognize the stability that the Lower Mainland has.”

Indeed, Vancouver was rated as the fifth best city in the world on the Mercer Quality of Living survey, the results of which were released in early December. A similar study by the

Economic Intelligence Unit rated Vancouver as third in the world.

The citizens of of Metro Vancouver are an intelligent bunch, according to a study by Smartcities Hub. The study rated Vancouver as the fourth smartest city in the world.

Our relatively temperate climate is also a draw for people considering where to live. With warm summer days and cool fall nights, it’s rare for citizens of Metro Vancouver to experience major weather-related problems, unless of course you’re yearning for the white Christmas that doesn’t happen very often.

“I think people are drawn first to Canada – because of our relatively greater political and economic freedoms – and then once they’re here, to the Lower Mainland, probably due to our having the best climate in the country,” says de Wit.

Another wonderful thing about the Lower Mainland is the options for business owners here.

“You can really create your own opportunities,” Hungerford says.

It’s no wonder Metro Vancouver’s population grows every year, when there are so many great reasons to live here.

Martin Knowles photo above, submitted photo belowA temperate climate and some pretty amazing scenery are just two of the reasons that people love living in the Lower Mainland. A thriving economy and a great quality of life draw new residents every year.

His daughters & other close family members were with him in the Delta hospital at the end. We know he felt our love as he left the world.Reg is survived by his beloved daughters: Tracy (Chris) & Bonnie (Erich), grandchildren: Brit & Shannon (Chris) & sweet, great grandchildren: Isabella & Malachi. Christmas was very diffi cult without him.Reg was born in Wynyard, Saskatchewan May 21st 1921, to parents, Mary Ryan & Fred, a French furniture polisher who had immigrated from England to a farm in Canada. In his youth he worked on the farm & played sports in school. During World War II, he worked as an airplane mechanic until he contracted Pleurisy. After recovering he boldly moved to Vancouver where he met & married the love of his life, Teri, in 1946. They lived in Vancouver in a home where he did many renovations. After 20 years they resettled in Tsawwassen.A successful, independent businessman, Reg worked tirelessly to publish the telephone directories for the Yukon, Northwest Territories & Northern BC for forty years. This work took him up & down the Alaska highway many times where he was fondly welcomed by his customers.Reg was an honest, hard working & intelligent man.He devoted his life to his family, who were everything to him. A warm & sincere friend to many, he enjoyed watching football & hockey & was a formidable pool player. A true humanitarian & great role model for his children, he generously donated to many charities. Very literate, Reg enjoyed current events & history, & steadfastly watched & supported public TV. He loved his orange cat, Pootie who is also in mourning.

The family wishes to invite friends to honour and

celebrate Reg’s life of 91 years on Friday, January

25th at 1:00 pm,at Cammidge House in

Boundary Bay, Regional Park.
