Community helping apartment fire victims
by Rebekah Hammond
Contributor
Westminster apartment fire vic-
tim Debbie Caliz got out with only the
clothes she was wearing, a couple pairs
of jeans and whatever she could grab
and fit into one bag.
Since the fire Caliz has been staying
with a friend.
“Ron took us into his home,” Caliz
said. “He’s been very wonderful to help
us with whatever we need. He assisted
us as promptly as possible.”
Yesterday, Caliz and the other 93 dis-
placed tenants were finally able to go
back to their apartments and take what
they could salvage from their apart-
ments.
One man died and nine were hospital-
ized in the Aug. 7 fire.
Caliz said she’s received a lot of help
and encouragement from the com-
munity and organizations, including
gift cards from the Tzu Chi Bhuddist
Foundation and food from the Salvation
Army.
“The community has been helping,”
Caliz said. “They’ve been willingly
donating stuff. A lot of people have
been helping me and I have to thank
them very much for that.”
While Caliz is grateful for the help
she’s gotten from friends and commu-
nity members, she wishes the building’s
management had worked to assist the
residents more.
“I asked for my rent to be refunded,”
she said. “I wasn’t refunded, I’ve only
be refunded back our damage deposit.
I think our rent should be refunded
back to us because they haven’t helped
me in any way.”
Building management onsite was
refusing comment, but according to
press releases the owner of the build-
ing has offered to rent suites in its other
apartments to displaced residents at
comparable prices.
Many of the residents were low-
income and didn’t have home insur-
ance. While the province’s emergency
social services provided short-term
assistance, long-term help comes
through community groups.
“In terms of the provincial assistance,
they’re provided with a couple nights

of hotel accommodation which gives
them a chance to make phone calls
to insurance companies, friends and
families for assistance,” said Cynthia
Lockrey, city spokesperson.
City service staff have connected the
victims with community organizations
such as the Salvation Army, SUCCESS
and the Tzu Chi Foundation.
About $3,100-worth of Salvation
Army Thrift Store vouchers were given
to seventeen of the families.
“A lot of them got out with just the
clothes in on their back so we gave
them vouchers,” said Major Brad Smith,
pastor for the Richmond Salvation
Army Community Church. “They were
for $100 per person to get clothes from
our Salvation Army Thrift stores.”
Though the Salvation Army doesn’t
have room to store donated items,
they’re also taking calls and co-ordinat-
ing donations.
“There have been people in the com-
munity who’ve phoned in who want to

Set to top 14.5 million if
late stocks keep up pace
by Jeff Nagel
Black Press
Fraser River sockeye salmon are coming
in at an astonishing rate that’s surpassing
even the rosy forecast of fishery managers.
The Pacific Salmon Commission has steadi-
ly increased its estimate of the number of
incoming sockeye, now on track to exceed
14.5 million in total.
That’s more than the 11 million sockeye
projected in pre-season forecasts and far
better than the less than two million sock-
eye that returned in each of the past few
disastrous years.
“Overall, the run is looking quite good,”
said Barry Rosenberger, the federal fisher-
ies department’s area director for the B.C.
Interior. “Our test fishing is looking very
strong in the approach areas.”
Managers have okayed more commercial
fishery openings, including a yesterday’s
five-hour opening for gillnetters on the
Fraser River.
That’s in addition to ongoing catches
of sockeye by First Nations and sports
anglers.
Rosenberger said the aim is to catch
roughly another million fish in Canada with
the new openings, on top of the 1.7 mil-
lion sockeye already harvested by both
Canadian and U.S. fishermen.
The revised in-season forecasts issued
Tuesday afternoon by the Pacific Salmon
Commission upgraded the early summer-
run sockeye to 2.6 million—the largest
return on record for that component of the
Fraser run.
Just 800,000 early summer sockeye had
been forecast to come back.
Summer-run sockeye are also higher than
anticipated, at 3.3 million.
There’s still no in-season estimate of the
number of late-run sockeye returning to the
Fraser.
They’re expected to make up the bulk of
this year’s run and were projected at 8.5
million.
Rosenberger noted conservation measures
will be needed to protect weaker stocks,
such as the Cultus Lake sockeye, which
arrive at the same time as other stronger
late-run sockeye.
B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition spokes-
man Phil Eidsvik said he’s still concerned
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
isn’t allowing enough fishing given the large
run now underway.
If too many returning sockeye are let
through to spawn, he said, over-competition
on the spawning grounds could hurt future
stocks.
He said a “happy medium” number of
spawners would be three to five million,
noting that “much more than that and we’ve
got trouble.”

Students teach students and
build leadership skills
by Rebekah Hammond
Contributor
“There’s a hero in everybody.”
That was the theme of J.N. Burnett Secondary’s
student-driven summer program for 52 South
Korean exchange students who visited Canada
to learn the language and culture.
The 17 student volunteers learned about
leadership and made new friends when they
stepped up to the plate and welcomed the
international students into the community.
“It wasn’t just about ESL and learning anoth-
er language,” said Chantel Cheng who volun-
teered for fun. “It was also built on getting to
know other people from across the world.”
The Korean students, ages 13 to 18, were in
Richmond from July 28 until Aug. 13 and par-
ticipated in largely student-driven language
classes and leadership-building activities dur-
ing the week.
Inspiration for many of the events that taught
leadership skills came from the super hero
theme that was introduced at the beginning of
the students’ stay.
“We had a theme day,” Cheng said. “We
taught that there is a super hero in each and
everyone of us and you have to find it through
good leadership and activities.”
Team-building games included activities at
the Richmond Centre and a scavenger hunt in
Steveston.
There were also ESL classes that helped
improve the Korean students’ vocabulary and
speaking skills.
“In the morning we helped them with their
English reading, writing, and journaling,”
Cheng said.
“In the beginning, the language barrier was
really hard and challenging,” she said. “But
once we got to know each other the body
language helped and it was easier the rest of

the week.”
Another Burnett volunteer, Blossom Ko,
originally from Korea herself, used her Korean
language skills to help.
“[Ko] did an amazing job,” said Herj Ghaug,
one of the facilitating teachers. “She was run-
ning around to the various groups and she’d
help translate to those who weren’t getting
the concept.”
Ko also got updated with what was new in
Korea.
“I’ve been living here for a long time so I got
to connect with the Koreans and see what stuff
has changed.”
This was the first year Burnett ran the pro-
gram and initially it was going to be run solely
by teachers Ghaug and Leslie Cain.
Both teachers, believe the program was a
great success and are pleased the school has
been approved to have another Korean class
come next year.
“As a teacher, I’m very proud and honoured
to be a part of the team,” Ghaug said. “Both
Leslie and myself were amazed how these kids
came together and did an outstanding job for
Korean students.”
At first Ghaug wasn’t sure how well the sum-
mer would go.
“Realistically, we thought we were in for it,”
he said. “We were scared and nervous, but
once the seventeen individuals jumped on
board, it helped ease the tensions we were
feeling about it.”
“Our role was to facilitate the learning of
the Korean students,” Ghaug said. “[But] sev-
enteen heads are better than two heads. We
told [the students] that even though we’re
teachers, we would be going to them for their
feedback as well.”
During the first few days language skills were
an issue.
“There were a few days when the commu-
nication was hard,” Ghaug said. “But our stu-
dents came together to discuss the problems
that arose and solved them.”
Students used games like charades, hand
gestures and drawings to supplement verbal
instruction and discussion.
The Korean teachers were amazed to see
Canadian students were willing to volunteer
their summer hours towards the program, said
Ghaug.
Saturday morning marked the end of the
Korean students’ time in Richmond.
Ko and Cheng couldn’t specify a favorite
moment, saying each day was different and
fun, but by the end of the program both said
they made new friends and strengthened their
leadership skills.
“When you reach out to other people you find
that leader within you,” Cheng said. “There were
a lot of fun moments, but I’ll never forget saying
goodbye on the last day, it was hard for all of
us.”

Please Don’t Cycle
on Sidewalks
Riding on Sidewalks is
Illegal unless Specifically
Directed by a Sign
Bicycles belong on the
roads. Sidewalks are
reserved for pedestrians
only and are intended to provide
a safe walking environment that
is separate from moving vehicles,
both cars and bicycles.
As a cyclist, you might feel safer
on sidewalks than on busy roads,
but research has proven that
cyclists are far more likely to
be involved in a collision with a
vehicle when using a sidewalk,
especially in the wrong direction
of travel, than on the roadway.
Riding on the sidewalk makes a
cyclist less noticeable and less
predictable to drivers, thereby
increasing the risk of crashes at
driveways and intersections.
Riding on sidewalks is also a
hazard to pedestrians. Cyclists
travel faster than walking speeds
and can startle pedestrians when
approaching without warning
from behind, which can lead
to a collision. Pedestrians can

instantaneously, which leaves a
cyclist with insufficient time to
react to avoid a collision.
Cyclists are much safer in the
street, following the rules of
the road for drivers of vehicles.
When riding on off-street
trails, always use a bell to
let pedestrians know you are
approaching.

There’s a new bike
rack in town and it’s got
wheels of its own.
Functionality meets
art when it comes to
the bicycle-shaped bike
rack recently installed
in front of Village Bikes
in Steveston.
“We had it made up
awhile ago and the
city just came by and
installed it,” said Brett
Martyniuk, owner of the
bike shop. “It definitely
worked with the theme
of things.”
The rack’s design is
original to the Lower
Mainland and has
already attracted a lot
of attention from visi-
tors passing by.
“People are always
taking pictures of
it,” Martyniuk said.
“There’s lots of interest
in it.”
Not only is it a unique
shape, but it’s been
whimsically painted by
local artist Raymond
Chow.
Dr. Seuss-inspired fish
swim along the bright
blue, red and gold
frame.
Chow was originally
given the idea to paint
salmon and whales on
the bike, but he wanted
something more basic.
Inspiration came from
a book in the window
of Gerry’s Books in
Steveston.
“Dr. Seuss came to
the rescue, I liked the
humour of it,” Chow
said. “It was simple to
do little fish chasing
each other so it could be
seen from a distance.”
The idea for the bike
rack was inspired by a
similar one Martyniuk’s
father, Ray, saw while
travelling in Portland,
Ore. a couple of years
ago.
Ray saw the design
and snapped a picture
of it. Back in Canada,
the Martyniuks sent the
picture to a local welder
who recreated it for
them.

Interfaith
bridging
T
onight the Richmond Multicultural
Concerns Society will hold a discus-
sion as part of its Inter-Faith Bridg-
ing Project, focussing on three religions:
Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.
The discussion follows a successful tour of
temples and a mosque on No. 5 Road recently that
attracted 200 people.
The Inter-Faith Bridging project is a tremendous
initiative that helps bring about a greater under-
standing of three religions. They happen to be reli-
gions that often get noticed by major media for the
actions of some of their more violent followers. It is
nice to see an initiative that instead looks at build-
ing an understanding of and between Hinduism,
Islam and Sikhism.
While Richmond recently made the news for the
actions of a couple of punks with a penchant for
racist graffiti, the reality is the city is a model of
multiculturism. It’s a place where people of differ-
ent religions often portrayed as being at odds with
each other get along with each other. It’s interest-
ing to note that the Inter-Faith Bridging tour was
a walking one since the temples and mosque are
neighbours on No. 5 Road. This is also a city that
saw a basketball game played between a Muslim
school and a Jewish school. Again the message is
people of different faiths do get along.
The Richmond Multicultural Concerns Society
deserves a lot of credit for helping organize the
Inter-Faith Bridging Project. It’s been a great suc-

Remembering Danny Gordon
Editor:
The other day I said goodbye
to a long-time fishermen friend
of mine at his celebration of life
and I got to reflecting of all he
had meant to me.
It was during the fishermen
and shoreworker’s retraining
program almost a decade ago
that I met Danny Gordon, who
became in charge of the crew
who were to restore the Murchi-
son houses, two historic homes
that I had saved. It was a project
that the entire crew had taken
on with pride and enthusiasm,
and as the restoration went on
they helped prove the heritage
value of the houses, which a
couple of us had known from
the beginning.
From time to time a problem
would have arisen, but it was
always Danny who would look at
how worried I was and say “We’ll
get ’er done, me son” This would
be followed by that broad smile
of his and laughter as well, and I
was never sure just how he was
going to solve the problem. But
I knew that if he wasn’t going to
solve the problem, his cohort,
and another good friend, Randy
was. Between the two of them
any bump in the restoration road
was always well taken care of
and I was always very relieved
and indebted to them.
The pride and professional-
ism that Danny instilled in the
crew was very well reflected
when some very important
artefacts were found in the attic
of the house. The location of
the artefacts were immediately
catalogued as was each indi-
vidual artefact. I was impressed
and delighted with the in-depth
notations and drawings of the
location and artefacts and I knew
that this crew, like all the other
crews working on the waterfront,
were putting their heart and
souls into the projects they were
assigned and to this day I am
very proud of them.
I also got to know Danny as a
friend as well and always loved
his free spirited sense of humour
and his positive outlook on life.
Being with him and his beloved
missy on the boat, or on the
project was always a joy as he’d
regularly begin telling fishing
stories at the drop of a hat, or in
his case hook.
When the need arose though,
Danny was indeed one to call a
spade a spade and a sockeye a
sockeye, informing people that
the fishery was in trouble and
that something should be done.
He cared about the industry he
was a part of and wanted to help
repair the damage that had been
done over the years. The sea and
the fishery were in his blood.
I guess part of that came
from when he was in the Royal
Canadian Navy. And as I thought
how the navy was celebrating
it 100th anniversary this year,
I thought of how Danny in
his own stint in the force, had
helped keep alive the traditions What makes Ironwood

opinion. They give him a
chance to connect with
the audience.
“They’re much more
intimate settings for
the audience,” he said.
“They’re just naturally
set up so the performers
can talk about the songs
a little more.”
Such small events give
audiences an opportuni-

style to artists like Nick
Lowe, Elvis Costello and
bands like Wilco, he’s
a unique songwriter all
unto himself.
“People tend to find
humour in some of what
I write,” Kemmis said.
“I’ll create a different
situation.”
“Freak Love” from
Arena Ready is one such
fresh example. The toe-
tapping pop song tells
the story of a purse
snatcher who gets hit
by a car while on the
get-away and ends up
falling in love with the
driver.
“Not your standard
songwriting fare, but
at the same time it’s
still a love song,” said
Kemmis.
Kemmis is about two-
thirds through record-
ing his new album and
a release date can be
expected sometime dur-
ing the winter or spring
of 2011.
New additions to antic-
ipate on the upcoming
album will be more

who seems more like a

humans in the story, is a
much-loved member of
the Swift family, and es-

Denny, a semi-profes-
sional race car driver. In
fact, he idolizes him. Enzo
has a hard time warming
up to Denny’s wife Eve
at first, but he gets on
famously with their little
daughter Zoe.
Enzo is basically a
four-legged philosopher,
having spent his life
watching television and
learning about life and
race car driving from
Denny. While the art of
race car driving is merely
a metaphor for life, it
works well here. Exhibit
A: “There is no dishonor
in losing the race…There
is only dishonor in not
racing because you are
afraid to lose.”
Enzo isn’t your ordinary
dog – he understands ev-
erything and is convinced
that in his next life he’ll
come back as a human.
it’s going to sound dif-
ferent, but I don’t know
if there are any true
departures.”
Though Kemmis
lives just across from
Richmond, in Ladner,
he hasn’t played in
Richmond for a few
years and has never
played at the Britannia
Heritage Shipyard
before. He’s looking for-
ward to introducing him-
self to a new audience.
“These shows attract
people who love music
and are looking for
something a little
unique,” he said. “The
whole purpose of get-
ting up on stage is to
get people to stop, look
and listen.”
Also performing on

But for now, “Gestures
are all that I have,” muses
the oft-misunderstood
Enzo. With that sixth
sense that animals pos-
ses, he knows that Eve is
sick and when she dies,
her parents battle Denny
for custody of Zoe. Enzo
watches as the drama
unfolds and knows that
someday, Denny will be
the successful racecar
driver he’s always dreamt
of being, and that he
and Zoe will be together,
despite the horrific chal-
lenges Denny faces. With
a sense of humour that
had me laughing till tears
ran down my face, Enzo
makes his way through
life deciphering the
human world as best he
can. He learns the value
of paying good deeds
forward and of standing
up to bullies.
Bottom line: This de-
lightful novel deserves to
be read by anyone with a
heart. I give it two barks!

Artisans’ Galleria is closing
Provincial
cutbacks
blamed in
gallery’s
demise
by Jessica Tieszen
Contributor
A non-profit gal-
lery operated by the
Community Arts Council
of Richmond has fallen
victim to government
cuts in funding the arts
and culture.
The Artisans’ Galleria in
Steveston showcases the
work of artist members
and exhibitions, and
is free for the public to
attend.
The Community Arts
Council of Richmond,
which raised significant
funds to help build
Richmond’s Gateway
Theatre, issued scholar-
ships to promising artists
and gave grants to many
of Richmond’s art and
culture groups to assist
in their endeavors.
“The cuts by the pro-
vincial government to
funding the arts is the
largest contributor (to the
gallery closing),” explains

The Richmond Fruit Tree Sharing Farm Society which, for many years, has
been building the Community Gardens at Terra Nova Rural Park.
This August, the volunteers and workshop participants built an old fashioned
cob oven at the Terra Nova Sharing Farm.
The new cob oven will be a community resource as part of the farm’s healing
garden that was built in 2009. The garden serves as a gathering place for many
volunteers who come out to help grow food for the Richmond Food Bank.

Baseball nationals at Brighouse
Richmond ready to host Bantam girls championship Aug. 26-30
by Don Fennell
Sports Editor
A
promotional
poster is circu-
lating around
town with the catch
phrase “You wish you
could throw like a
girl.”
It’s intended to bring
awareness to the Bantam
Girls National Baseball
Championship next week
(Aug. 26-30) at Brighouse
Park. (Two games are also
scheduled to be played at
Blundell field).
Pat Weatherill, president
of the host Richmond City
Baseball Association, ex-
pects the games to be well
attended and hopes the
event inspires young girls to
pick up the sport.
“Not having a national
youth baseball tournament
in Richmond before, or
for quite some time, this
should help bring aware-
ness of baseball in the
community—and the fact
girls do play baseball,”
Weatherill says.
An average of 250 fans are
expected at every game.
That, he says, is also good
for the local economy.
Females playing base-
ball is not new. From the
1890s to the mid-1930s the
“Bloomer Girls” clubs were
hugely popular and trav-
elled extensively through-
out the U.S., often playing
men’s teams.
Several countries,
includling Canada, cur-
rently have strong women’s
programs. And the game
is continuing to grow in
places like the Netherlands,
Pakistan and India.
There were more than
8,500 girls playing orga-
nized baseball in Canada in
2009. And Baseball Canada
expects the numbers to
continue to increase.

The Bantam national
tournament began in 1999
and has been held annually
since 2003. Adam Morris-
sette, coordinator of media/
public relations for Baseball
Canada, says the goal of the
tournament is to continue
to increase the profile of
girls’ baseball which, will in
turn, attract more females
to the sport.
“Not having a na-
tional youth base-
ball tournament in
Richmond before,
or for quite some
time, this should
help bring aware-
ness of baseball in
the community—
and the fact girls
do play baseball.”
- Pat Weatherill
“We run several success-
ful girls’ clinics or skills
camps and we see these
expanding as interest grows
in the game,” he says.
Morrissette acknowledges
girls’ baseball initially drew
some players from soft-
ball. But now most of the
athletes start in baseball
and progress through the
system just the same as
the boys—from Rally Cap
(a program that intro-
duces youth to the sport)
to senior. The pinnacle is to
earn a roster spot with the
Canadian women’s national
team that competes at
World Cups and other inter-
national events.
“There was a demand for
a national championship
because there were enough
girls playing the game at
a high level,” Morrissette
says.
Currently, the girls’ teams

play other girls-only teams,
boys’ teams and teams of
girls and boys—depending
on the number of players in
a particular community.
Women are eligible to play
in a senior division which
has no age restriction.
There is a women’s national
championship held every
year, featuring the best
players in the country.
David Laing, executive
director of Baseball BC, is
a keen supporter of girls’
baseball. He says while the
growth has already been
impressive, there’s plenty of
room for expansion.
“It’s very much in its in-
fancy stage,” Laing says.
The heart of girls’ baseball
in B.C. is in the Okanagan.
The Okanagan Halos Girls
Baseball Club is a girls-only
association based out of
Kelowna. From a single
all-girls Mosquito Division
team four years ago, the
program now sports four
teams in three age groups.
As a testament to how
Baseball BC views girls’
baseball, it has established
a girls’ baseball commit-
tee. Baseball BC held skill
development sessions, for
Peewee and Bantam players
aged 11 to 16, at locations
around the province in
preparation for the Bantam
girls championships. This
year Baseball BC will be
fielding two teams in the
tournament—a provincial
select team and a host
squad.
As with many sports, and
regardless of gender, base-
ball begins to experience a
drop off in players around
the Peewee age group.
Many girls also transfer to
play softball to be with their
friends. Laing, however, is
confident if there were more
all-girls baseball teams and
leagues, baseball would be Baseball Canada photo
able to retain more of those Like pitcher Vanessa Riopel, many young girls playing baseball in Canada aspire to suit up for
players. the national women’s team.

Kajaks glow at Canadian track
and field championships
Evan Dunfee has a marathon walk ahead of
him. The 20 kilometre race walk at the upcom-
ing Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India to be
exact.
The 19-year-old Richmondite qualified in im-
pressive fashion at the recent Canadian senior
track and field championships in Toronto, win-
ning the men’s title in a personal-best one hour,
25 minutes, 57.7 seconds. The race walk at the
Commonwealth Games will be contested Oct.
9—just 12 days after Dunfee’s 20th birthday.
Dunfee’s teammates with the Richmond Kajaks
also made it onto the podium at the Canadian
championships.
Chantel Spies won the women’s one kilogram
discus throw, beating out her nearest competitor
by more than a metre. After completing a long
and gruelling season at the University of Cali-
fornia-Los Angeles,Trey Henderson was second
in the men’s 7.26 kilogram hammer throw. And
Yvonne Mensah, after a two-year absence from
competition to nurse injuries, was second in the
women’s 400 metre hurdles.
Another up-and-comer in the race walk, Heath-
er Warwick, placed fourth at her first senior na-
tionals.
Kajaks’ head coach Richard Collier was further
delighted by the progress of the club’s young
athletes at the Canadian youth championships in
Ottawa. All five athletes that competed reached
the podium.
Samantha Kennedy won the women’s under-18
hammer throw for the second straight year; Serena
Graf won the silver in the under-18 javelin throw,
just 46 centimetres back of the winning throw; Ha-
ley Stewart won bronze in the under-18 long jump;
Nicholas Fyffe won a silver as a member of the four-
by-100-metre men’s relay team and bronze in the tri-
ple jump; and Asianna Covington won the under-16
discus throw and was second in the shot put.
Oval 10k was sunny success
by Jessica Tieszen
Contributor
Richmond Kajaks couldn’t have asked
for a better day to host their 10k oval
race Sunday.
Competitors, numbering 247 in all,
lined up at the starting gates with their
shoes and sunscreen, ready to compete
in the fundraiser for the Kajaks Junior
Track and Field Development Program.
“The event (concluding the 10-race
Steve Nash Sports Club Lower Main-
land Road Race Series) was extremely
successful this year,” explains Media
Director Susan Bernardino.
“We wanted a bigger turnout and got at
least 100 more people (than in 2009).”
The race began at 8:30 a.m. and par-
ticipants were divided up into age cat-
egories.
The top three runners in each category
received gifts from Forerunners.

Twins delight in Western championship

Exhibition doubleheader in Richmond helped set table for title
by Don Fennell
Sports Editor
A tune up against a young Richmond peewee team
proved to be just what the Lloydminster (Sask.) Twins
needed.
Buoyed by the experience they gained from an ex-
hibition doubleheader last week at Gibbons Park, the
Twins went on to win the Western Canadian peewee
AA boys’ baseball championship Sunday in Newton.
They defeated B.C. 15-5 in the final game.
Lloydmister coach David Keck told The Richmond
Review that the exhibition games were invaluable.
Keck also noted the similarities between the Lloy-
Richmond City Baseball’s Chuckers see the resurgence of the Lloydminster dminster and Richmond minor baseball progarms.
Twins’ program as an example of what it too can achieve. He said the program in Lloydmister had all but dis-

appeared in 1996, and the success enjoyed by this
year’s peewee Twins is a reward for hanging in and
rebuilding the program.
The Richmond City Baseball Association was
formed in 2008, a merger of the former Richmond
and West Richmond baseball associations. Under the
guidance of president Pat Weatherill, RCBA’s focus in
on developing youth baseball skills and sportsman-
ship in a fun, inclusive learning environment.
Weatherill said the exhibition games against Lloy-
dmister were equally important for Richmond’s pee-
wees.
“It gave us an opportunity to play a higher level
of ball, “ he said. “We would like to duplicate their
feat (winning Westerns), however because we have a
larger base of players we have to play AAA ball.”

Surrey leads
starts in Metro
Vancouver
Metro Vancouver recorded 1,124 housing
starts in July, reports the Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corporation.
Year-to-date, builders have started con-
struction on 8,005 new homes in the Vancou-
ver Census Metropolitan Area, CMHC says.
“An adequate inventory of newly completed
and unsold homes, and a well-supplied resale
market have tempered housing starts to more
modest levels,” says CMHC senior market
analyst Robyn Adamache.
“So far this year, Surrey has led new hous-
ing construction in the Vancouver CMA with
half of the new homes started being single-
detached dwellings,” she says.
By the time they ask “Are we there yet?”
… you will be.
61 FRESH APARTMENT HOMES STARTING FROM $119,900!
“Strong population growth and an ample
supply of land for development have encour-
aged new home construction in the area.”
While the total number of starts for the
region is down by 10 per cent from
June’s new-home starts, Greater Van-
couver Home Builders’ Association
president and CE) Peter Simpson
notes that “year-to-date, we’re more
than double.”
“I prefer to see double what we
were last year, rather than half,”
Simpson says of local housing starts. Peter Simpson
He is impressed that, in just the
first seven months of 2010, Surrey is respon-
sible for one-quarter of all housing starts in
Metro Vancouver, with so many being single-
family detached home starts.
This shows there is recognition among
builders that people want single-family
homes, Simpson says. Although Surrey came
close to having more single-detached starts
than all other Metro Vancouver communi-
ties combined, city staff work hard to ensure
there is still plenty of green space and a focus the BCREA reports.

well, he notes.
“It enables you to live, work and play here,”
says Simpson, who lives in Surrey. “I don’t
have to leave town to go to work or for
recreation.”
Surrey was recently ranked fourth-
best place in Canada to invest in real
estate by the Real Estate Investment
Network; REIN also ranked it first in
the province.
Even though starts are down this
