High-rises
eyed for
Steveston
Waterfront could become
home to village’s first
concrete towers
by Matthew Hoekstra
Staff Reporter
A pair of high-rise towers
and a new city park could soon
be built on the Steveston wa-
terfront if the latest rezoning
application for a contentious
property is approved.
The Onni Group of Com-
panies is proposing to build
two residential towers—one
10 storeys, the other 12 sto-
reys—on its Bayview Street
property, east of No. 1 Road.
As part of the plan, which
would bring 200 new homes
to the village, Onni would do-
nate over half its 1.41-hectare
site to the city.
“Through the last rezoning,
what we have continued to
hear is that the community
and council would love more
acreage on the waterfront for
public use,” said Onni’s Chris
Evans.” They want public
space on the water, and this
obviously achieves that.”
Evans said the city would
net two acres of waterfront
land under the proposal, giv-
ing Richmond the chance “to
create a lasting legacy on the
waterfront in Steveston.”

The rezoning plan for the
narrow strip of land has yet to
be considered by city council’s
planning committee.
For years Onni has attempt-
ed to rezone the last of its Im-
perial Landing parcels to allow
for more residential space and
to open up the restrictive in-
dustrial zoning to allow for a
range of commercial tenants
on the ground floor. But Onni
has faced a backlash from
scores of residents and politi-
cians over its past plans.
Current zoning allows six
buildings to a maximum
height of four storeys, with
ground-floor space reserved
for commercial tenants that
support the maritime indus-
try.
Under the latest high-rise
proposal, the entire devel-
opment would be residential
and contained in two build-
ings near Phoenix Pond. Onni
has also pledged to donate
$500,000 to the Steveston
Community Centre.
Coun. Harold Steves said
land at Britannia Heritage
Shipyard went through a
similar process.

City agrees
to signals
for visually
impaired
New street
signals coming
by Rebekah Hammond
Contributor
The City of Richmond won’t
be going to a B.C. Human
Rights Tribunal hearing regard-
ing crosswalks said to discrimi-
nate against visually impaired
pedestrians.
A settlement was reached
late last week between the
city and Rob Sleath, chair of
Access for Sight-Impaired Con-
sumers.
“We agreed...that the hear-
ing scheduled to commence
(Monday) would not proceed,”
said Sleath. “There’s no need
to go to hearing as a result of
that settlement.”
Sleath, who lost his vision
in 1992, filed a complaint ear-
lier this month against the city
stating that Richmond’s cross-
walks discriminated against
visually impaired pedestrians.
Lack of audio technology at
intersections was making it
dangerous for Richmond’s 600
blind and visually impaired citi-
zens, according to Sleath.
Both parties involved, how-
ever, are satisfied with the
settlement that agrees to make
Richmond crosswalks more ac-
cessible to visually impaired
pedestrians.
“The city is very please with
the agreement,” said city
spokesperson Cynthia Lockrey.
“It’s given an opportunity for
Richmond to become a leader
in providing accessibility for all
our residents.”

The rapid-transit link between Vancouver, Richmond and the airport now transports 107,000 riders on a typical weekday.
Canada Line marks one year
Canada Line celebrating ridership that tops 100,000 people a day
by Jeff Nagel
Black Press
One year after its opening
and 36 million passengers
later, the $2-billion Canada
Line has proven to be a popu-
lar transportation option, car-
rying far more people than
expected by this point.
The rapid-transit link be-
tween Vancouver, Richmond
and the airport now trans-
ports 107,000 riders on a
typical weekday, and aver-
ages 100,000 daily trips even
counting weekends.
“We’ve hit that 100,000
rides per day about two
years ahead of schedule,”
said TransLink spokesman
Ken Hardie.
He said the Canada Line
is also spurring increased
use of the rest of the Metro
Vancouver transit system,
because more people now
take SkyTrain, the SeaBus or
transit buses to connect to
the Canada Line.
“The ripple effect has been
not bad.”
The new 19-kilometre line
was key to TransLink’s gold
medal people-moving perfor-
mance during the Olympics.
“The Olympics created a sit-
uation where people needed
another way to get into down-
town Vancouver and voila,
there was the Canada Line,
along with the supporting
transit lines from South Sur-
rey, White Rock and Delta,”
Hardie said.
The record for moving peo-
ple came during the 2010 Win-
ter Games on Feb. 19, when
287,379 passengers were
counted.
Ridership stats since then
show transit use has been
higher post-Olympics relative
to the months before, sug-
gesting thousands of transit-
averse residents have been
converted, partly thanks to
the shiny new train line.
TransLink passenger sur-
veys show 51 per cent of
Canada Line users are using
the new SkyTrain line to make
the same journey they used
to take by bus.
Hardie said that suggests
the rest—a huge number of
passengers—either hadn’t
been taking the trip at all
before or had been taking it
by car.
“We’ve indeed picked up
new riders,” he said.
Every YVR-bound train car-
ries luggage-toting passen-
gers delighting in no longer
having to drive and park at
the airport or take a taxi.
But prior to the August, 2009
launch, there was trepidation
about the new line.
Regular bus commuters to
Vancouver from areas like
South Surrey and White
Rock feared the loss of their
relaxed one-seat no-transfer
ride downtown.
Richmondites fretted the
“crime train” would bring a
tide of theft and social ills.
Vancouver neighbourhoods
braced for a wave of new
development and densifica-
tion.
The long-term changes to
land-use patterns are just
beginning, but a huge new
development with towers up
to 35 storeys is already pro-
posed near the Marine Drive
station in Vancouver, along
with upscale new housing
projects in Richmond.
Transit Police ushered in the
new line with a policing blitz
to ease local concerns.
And the express buses
that used to go all the way
downtown now terminate at
the Canada Line’s Bridgeport
Station.
That’s less convenient for
some riders, but Hardie ar-
gues it freed up large num-
bers of buses to boost service
elsewhere.
Not only did the Vancouver-
bound buses bog down in
heavy traffic the closer they
got to downtown, they also
deadheaded back empty in
the reverse-peak direction.
The resulting reallocation of
buses has allowed TransLink
to boost service levels from
the Semiahmoo Peninsula
and South Delta by 38 per
cent while using the same
number of buses, Hardie
said, adding service was also
boosted on east-west routes
through Vancouver.
More frequent buses con-
necting from the south has
in turn made the Canada
Line even more attractive
to new riders, who often fly
past jammed single-occupant
cars on congested Highway
99 thanks to the extension
of bus-only lanes on the cor-
ridor.
“The Canada Line
trip to downtown is
much faster, so now
we’re moving more
people more quick-
ly and reliably.”
- Ian Jarvis
“The Canada Line trip to
downtown is much faster,
so now we’re moving more
people more quickly and
reliably,” TransLink CEO Ian
Jarvis said.
The line was not without
detractors.
Businesses disrupted by the
cut-and-cover construction
along Cambie Street are still
in court for compensation.
Metro Vancouver politicians
contend the line should not
have been built ahead of the
long-time top priority of con-
structing the Evergreen Line

lines.
Higher ridership does mean
the line is on track to finan-
cially break even at least a
few years sooner than the
projected date of 2025.
There are, however, still big
question marks over the Can-
ada Line’s opaque operating
agreement and whether ser-
vice can increase fast enough
to keep pace with demand.
TransLink says it will pay
operator InTransitBC to fi-
nance the running of an ex-
tra two peak period trains—
an increase from 14 now to
16—starting next August,
bringing a 12 per cent capac-
ity boost.
It also says more trains and
a third car can be added to
each existing train pair in the
future if necessary, providing
capacity to carry 300,000 a
day relatively easily.
Debate rages on over which
transit technologies to use on
future lines.
But the Canada Line has si-
lenced much opposition.
If anything, it has gal-
vanized demand for more
rapid-transit links—not just
the Evergreen Line, but also
promised new lines through
Surrey and across Vancouver
to UBC.
Negotiations underway
between Metro Vancouver
mayors and transportation
minister Shirley Bond are ex-
pected to conclude this fall
with a new formula governing
the financing of future lines.
Musqueam
says city
didn’t ‘act
honourably’
Latest shot
fired in lawsuit
over Garden
City lands
by Matthew Hoekstra
Staff Reporter
The Musqueam Indian Band
has fired back against the City
of Richmond in an effort to
rule the city’s $59.2-million
purchase of the Garden City
lands invalid.
The latest B.C. Supreme
Court filing in the battle for
control of the contentious
parcel of farmland suggests
the city “failed to act honour-
ably” by not upholding an ex-
isting three-way development
deal for the lands.
“In particular, the defendant
failed to uphold its promises
as well as its contractual and
fiduciary obligations as re-
flected in the” original deal,
wrote Musqueam lawyer Ma-
ria Morellato in the band’s re-
ply to Richmond’s statement
of defence.
The city claims that once the
Agricultural Land Commis-
sion denied removal of the
55-hectare parcel from the
protected land reserve, the
deal was “null and void,” the
statement says. If the com-
mission did grant removal,
approximately half the land
would have been developed
by the band and Canada
Lands Company.
“If there were anything left
over (following the commis-
sion’s ruling), the sale of the
property would have taken
care of all that,” said John
Hunter, a lawyer acting for
the city, in an interview with
the Review earlier this sum-
mer. “They got more than it
was worth.”
Days after the city finalized
a deal to buy the land, the
Musqueam filed a lawsuit, in
April, claiming damages for
breach of contract. The band,
which earned $29.6 million
in the sale, is also asking the
court to declare its original
three-way deal still valid.
The Canada Lands Company
originally purchased the land
from the federal government
for $9.54 million.

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 change their direction and
speed 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.

opinion
Canada Line proves
value of transit
O
ne year ago, the Canada Line opened to
much fanfare. People pushed their way
through crowds in Richmond to become
the first passengers on the rapid transit train that
links to downtown Vancouver and the airport.
Some skeptics doubted the passenger volumes, but
rerouted buses made it a near certainty that this train would
be busy. One year later, no one can question the demand for
rapid transit.
The Canada Line has carried 36 million passengers since
its opening, transporting over 100,000 riders each day. With
that number, TransLink has hit its ridership target two years
ahead of schedule.
As most passengers know, the train is regularly jammed—
as it was Feb. 19, when a record number of people, 287,379,
boarded the train during the middle of the 2010 Winter
Olympics.
TransLink surveys show half the train’s users are used to
public transit, having boarded a bus before the new shiny
trains began shuttling down the elevated guideway. The rest
have either abandoned their car or simply never made the
trip before. That in itself proves that rapid transit is worth the
enormous price tag its construction comes with.
Let the debate over elevated or at-grade persist, the popu-
larity of the Canada Line goes beyond that. It shows that
people are willing to get out of their cars or make a trip they
never had before, if the transportation method is convenient.
Riding the line isn’t always comfortable—hello Olympics—
and can be expensive—$25 for a family of four travelling
midday without transit passes—but the appetite for rapid
transit is enormous in our growing city and region.
Providing useful rapid transit links to existing lines is the
task TransLink now has before it.
But be it the oft-discussed Evergreen Line, an extension of
the Expo Line, a Broadway corridor line, a South Fraser link
to the valley or even an extension of the Canada Line, build-
ing new rapid transit lines is hardly rapid.

one. Vander Zalm’s peti-
tion calls on the govern-
ment to reimburse “all
British Columbians on a
per capita basis” for any
HST paid beyond what
would have been charged
by the provincial sales tax.
I asked Finance Minister
Colin Hansen what that
might cost. He declined to
speculate, except to say
that it would be “admin-
istratively very difficult.”
I’ll say. And the huge cost
would of course be on top
of repaying the $1.6 billion
federal transition fund.
Then there are the
rebates. If you are in the

just let the provincial defi-
cit grow some more. Our
grandchildren can pay it
back, if they can find jobs
in B.C.’s uncompetitive tax
structure. But hey, we sure
would teach the federal
and provincial govern-
ments a lesson.
Contrary to the wishes
of some HST haters, Chief
Justice Robert Bauman of
the B.C. Supreme Court
did not endorse Vander
Zalm’s petition, or deter-
mine whether any work-
able outcome can result
from it.
Bauman narrowed his
ruling to get this political
hot potato off his desk,
and that of the much-
maligned Chief Electoral
Officer. He declined to
consider whether Vander
Zalm’s proposed legisla-
tion is constitutional,
“Whether that will lead
to … the extinguishment
of the HST in British
Columbia remains to be
seen,” Bauman wrote.
The petition was formally
sent to the legislature on
Monday and the stand-
ing committee must con-
vene its first meeting in
September. It will have
until December to debate
the draft legislation that
was included in the peti-
tion.
Look for the B.C. Liberal
majority on the committee
to push through amend-
ments, such as raising
taxes to repay the $1.6
billion federal fund. Then
we might find out where
the NDP actually stands on
this thing.

Move Artisans’ Galleria
to cyberspace
Editor:
It is very sad to learn that the Artisans’ Gal-
leria is closing due to financial difficulties. It is
a favourite shop for not only many Richmond
residents, but also for many people in the rest
of Metro Vancouver. The bad economic times are
hard on everyone, especially the non-profile or-
ganizations.
To survive in this difficult economic climate,
we need to adapt to the changing econom-
ic times. Instead of occupying a 1,500-square-
foot space, the shop might stay open by moving
to a smaller space.
If downsizing is not an option, moving the store
into cyberspace definitely can be an option, at
least for now. Many brick and block shops have
moved to the Internet successfully in order to
save on costly expenses.
If having an online shop website is too costly or
too technically challenging, moving the shop to

If artists don’t want to sell their artworks side-

clubs and private concerts throughout
the UK, Europe, the United States and the
Middle East.
At age 38, finding himself burned out,
creatively stifled and desperately un-
happy, he turned off and checked out. In
2004 he left the UK and his music career
behind, moving with his family to Victoria
for a fresh start as a classroom teacher.
The immigration experience created a
of his music career. Along with regular ap-
pearances in and around his home base
of Vancouver Island came a burgeoning
international career.
After touring England, Scotland and
Ireland in early 2009, O’Brien was signed
by a German label.
O’Brien has developed an eclectic folk
style that is broadly appealing and not
easily categorized. His experiences as

T

continues Friday, Aug. 27, with Paul
O’Brien in concert.
O’Brien is a singer, songwriter and in-
strumentalist with a gift for going straight
to the emotional heart of the story, and
taking his listeners with him. Born and
raised Irish Catholic in an English inner
city, he spent the first 20-odd years of his
professional life playing traditional Celtic
music for pub gigs, folk festivals, folk
tectonic shift in O’Brien, unleashing a
creative energy he had long suppressed.
Suddenly, the gifted songwriter thrash-
ing around inside him wanted out. While
teaching full time, O’Brien wrote and
recorded two CDs of original songs.
The gigs started coming in. O’Brien’s
full-time teaching job became a part-time
teaching job, and then he left teaching
entirely to focus on this second iteration
an immigrant, musician and teacher, his
natural instinct for humour and storytell-
ing, and his empathy for the underdog
have combined to produce an insightful
and entertaining artist. O’Brien’s concerts
are dynamic affairs, and his connection
with the audience is palpable.
The Music at the Cannery series is
presented in collaboration with the Beat
Merchant and the Steveston Folk Guild.

BUILDS BUSINESS BRIDGE TO CHINA WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

On September 17th Richmond
Chamber of Commerce and 14 of
its members will be embarking
on a Business related trip to
China to visit Xiamen and
Shanghai. The main purpose
of this trip will be to further
enhance the already fostered
business relationships with
Richmond’s Friendship City
Xiamen.
Following the successful
visits of delegates, Mayor
and Vice Mayor of Xiamen
to the Chamber in 2008 and
2009, Richmond Chamber of
Commerce has accepted the
kind invitation to visit Xiamen
to further develop business
relationships. Richmond
Chamber of Commerce members
taking part in the delegation
represent sectors such as;
Agriculture, Business services,
Green Lighting, Residential
Services, Education, Food
Processing, International Freight
Services, IT Solutions and
Banking services.
The itinerary of the trip
includes a day with Xiamen
Chamber of Commerce, tours
of Xiamen Hi-tech region and
business meetings with Xiamen
companies and the Mayor of
Xiamen. The groups will then
move on to Shanghai were they
will continue networking and
attend ‘Richmond Day’ hosted
in the Canadian Pavilion at the
Shanghai Expo.
Following the recent Approved
Destination Status (ADS) given
to Canada in June this year,
focus on Chinese business trade
is at an all time high.
Richmond Chamber of
Commerce President, Tony
Kwan comments “Over the
years, the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce, with the assistance
of the City of Richmond, has
worked very hard to develop
a business relationship with
the City of Xiamen. This trip
marks the first significant
business delegation consisting
of Chamber members to visit
Xiamen. The Chamber hopes
to continue to open business
opportunities for Richmond
businesses in Xiamen and other
international markets”.
Richmond Chamber of
Commerce looks forward to
strengthening its bond with
Xiamen and introducing some
of its members to its business
contacts, education and culture.

Tambellini has designs on
a third line role, either at
left wing or centre with
the Canucks, but said
it’s up to him to earn the
chance during the exhibi-
tion schedule.
“It’s more important to
take advantage of the
opportunity when it’s in
front of you,” he said. “I
want to come in and be a
strong two-way guy and
add scoring depth. I have
to add a scoring dynamic
for me to be successful,
but also to bring reliabil-
ity. I have to be counted
on to kill penalties or play
four-on-four or five-on-
five and to be solid on
the ice.”
Tambellini enjoys the
challenge of playing
while his team is short-
handed. A couple of
seasons ago with the
Bridgeport Sound Tigers,
the Islanders’ top affiliate
in the American Hockey
League, he teamed with
Frans Nielsen to become
one of the league’s dy-
namic duos. Not only did
they routinely shut down
the opposition, but also
were a threat to score.

“You see new guys com-

constantly working your-

begin to be passed by,”
he said.
The son of former
Vancouver Canuck and
current Edmonton Oil-
ers general manager
Steve, Tambellini grew
up around the Canucks.
But as much as he’s part
of a close-knit family, he
has deliberately tried to
avoid playing for a team
managed by his dad.
“It’s nice to be close and
I enjoy playing against
his teams, but to be on
the same team puts a lot
of stress and pressures
on both parties I think,”
he said.

Five Strikers play rugby for B.C. at nationals
by Don Fennell
Sports Editor
Hugh McRoberts Secondary’s
reputation as a producer of rugby
talent continues.
Five boys attending the Rich-
mond school were selected to
play on various B.C. teams at last
week’s national championships.
The representative players were
Kapi Vataiki (under-18), Anton Met-
alnikov and Harjun Gill (under-16),
and Spencer Walker and Nick Wu
(under-14). Metalnikov was the
youngest player selected to the
under-16 A team, while Gill was
the second youngest.
“This is a significant achievement
as only seven other schools in the
province had five or more players
selected for the national tourna-
ment,” said Al Smith, one of the
McRoberts coaches.
The selection process for the
B.C. under-18 and under-16 teams
started at the provincial regional
championships at the University of
B.C. a month ago. Besides Metal-
nikov and Gill, the Vancouver West
team also featured Strikers Taran
Dhesi, Austin Matilda, Som Ghosh
and Danny Chang. The selection for
the provincial under-14 squad was
made at the recent B.C. Summer
Games with McRoberts represent-
ed by Nolan Howell, Cody Krajic,
Nicolas Morowat, Alvaro Lopez as
well as Walker and Wu.
Three McRoberts grads—Bryan Garry Point Park
Tyrer, Alex Kam and Connor Fuller— Steveston
were members of the Vancouver 2pm Registration
under-20 team that narrowly lost 4pm Walk
to Newfoundland and Labrador in
the national championship.
“It is especially encouraging for
the coaching staff in that four of the
five B.C. players are either entering
grades 9 or 10,” Smith said.

Stone on Canada’s Commonwealth field hockey team
Richmond’s Amanda Stone is one of 16 athletes
to be selected to Canada’s women’s field hockey
team for the upcoming Commonwealth Games
in New Delhi, India this October.
The field hockey competition is traditionally
strong at the Commonwealth Games. Five of
the women’s teams qualified for Delhi will be
competing at the World Cup in Argentina early
September.
“The team selected is relatively young in terms
of experience,” said Louis Mendonca, coach of
the Canadian women’s team.
“The Commonwealth Games will be a great
testing ground for measuring present prog-
ress and preparing us for future important events
such as the Pan American Games and Olympic
Qualifier. We had some good results in a series of
matches against India and Chile, but we now need
to bring more consistency to our performance to
be competitive against teams in the top 10.”
In pool play, Canada will be playing England

Just say
NO to a
cash ‘deal’
Industry leaders are concerned
about how the HST will impact
the underground cash economy
in the home renovation market.
Homeowners who think they’ll
save money on a cash deal
paying homage
to the past:
instead of hiring a reputable

Second Wind sales manager Jason says.

Rook notes the company obtains its tim-
ber from dismantling old commercial
and industrial structures that are slated
for demolition, such as an old Vancou-
ver sawmill, granaries, wharfs, canneries
and warehouses.
“Much of the timber in these struc-
tures was originally harvested in the
1800s and early 1900s and was cut from
huge, old-growth forests along the West
Coast of British Columbia,” Rook says.
There are many great reasons for
using reclaimed wood, the biggest being
that it is ecologically responsible and
creates less impact on the environment.
The aesthetic and physical character-
istics of ancient, old-growth timber is
appealing to many people. The natural
process of aging over many decades
produces timber that is dry and stable;
thus, there is no further shrinkage.
The natural aging and drying process
also brings out beautiful colours unique
to each species of wood.
Another advantage of using reclaimed
wood is it reduces the pressure to har-

Bezanson suggests going to a
local stationer or drug store with
a photo department and getting
old family snaps, which are usually
quite small, reproduced and en-
larged a little to make them more
consistent.
Once properly framed and mat-
ted, placing the photos on the wall
without hammering several holes
before getting each one perfectly
placed, or to hang straight, can be
daunting.
Bezanson suggests working on
a grid.
“If you work it out on paper be-

measurements, you don’t have a

says.
“You can also lay the frames out
on the floor ... move them around
until you are happy with the lay-
out, then measure the total width
and length and the spaces between
frames.”
Bezanson also advises starting
in the centre and working outward
when creating a photo wall,
because if a homeowner starts at

inches, it will show on the other
side.

“The most common questions are about the difference
in materials versus cost benefit,” Essery says.
Often, clients will come in with a photo of a door taken
from the Internet or a magazine, wanting to know if it can
be replicated in a size that will fit their home or whether
the glass style can be changed or if it can be made in a dif-
ferent kind of wood, she says.
Walker is one of the few places that can accommodate
such requests, Essery says.
“If you can imagine it, we can almost always have it
built.”
While sustainability and energy efficiency come up a lot,
it mainly boils down to a specific style the client is looking
for, the price point, and how readily available the product
is.
Before purchasing a door, Essery says it is important to
let the door professional know where the home is located,
if it is in full sun, what type of colour or finish the home-
owner will be putting on the door, and any other concerns,
such as environmentally conscious options.
“This will ensure you are getting a product that is best
suited for your individual (home), and produced locally if
necessary,” she says.
“You should always discuss the maintenance required
for each material option, and factor that into your final

Protecting the home in the old days
meant buying a solid wood door and
installing a heavy-duty dead bolt – and
that’s only if the homeowners felt the
need to lock their doors at all.
Those good ’ol days are long gone.
Today, home security has come a long
way and homeowners can, if they
choose, have as much security as presi-
dents and prime ministers enjoy.
Orca Security Corporation general
manager Brian Pozzolo says homeown-
ers are looking for more than just
security these days.
Now, home security usually means
having an alarm, perimeter protection,
interior protection, glass protection
and life safety devices, such as carbon
monoxide and smoke detectors, plus
temperature and flood sensors, he says.
“Now clients are integrating other Home security is high-tech, offering

Heritage:
restoring
the past
MAGGIE CALLOWAY
There is a good reason Basil Restoration
Ltd. calls the company ‘restoration’ rather
than a renovation company when it comes to
heritage homes.
Basil is well-known in New Westminster as
a company dedicated to both bringing the me-
chanics of a heritage home up to present-day
standards and preserving the priceless
beauty which, once lost, cannot be
returned.
In the 20 years Basil Restora-
tion Ltd. has been involved in RESTORING

restoring heritage homes, the
company has gained an exper-
tise second to none.
There is no substitute for lon-
gevity for gaining specialized knowl-
edge but also, and equally important,
sourcing craftspeople who are able to repair
or duplicate the many period embellishments
often found on these grand dames of the past.
