Another Steveston - filmed TV Series ready to air

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Bill deMooy, Realtor®

With Once Upon a Time wrapping up its filming in Steveston for good, a new Steveston filmed television series is ready to take over the streets, bringing viewers into a whole new fantasy world.

Siren, which will air on ABC Spark Canada, is a thriller that brings mermaid legends to life.

So from 'Storybrooke' - Steveston will now convert to 'Bristol Cove', a town that's obsessed with mermaids thrown into chaos - when a mysterious girl appears.

The first, 10- episode season of the new series was also filmed in Vancouver and Port Moody.

Will this new show attract similar attention that ' Once Upon a Time' did, drawing tourists from all over for a visit to Steveston?

Sadly some Richmondites are OK with venting over modular housing

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Bill deMooy, Realtor®

It's sad that so many Richmond residents refuse to welcome those that are less fortunate. Especially those residents that brought along their children to attend the rally and pose for the picture. What is this teaching our children about the tolerance of one another?

Canada is a country that thankfully accepts those from other countries, cultures, religions and circumstances - but when it come to the homeless, too many Richmond residents are exclusive of those who only live up to what they think are acceptable standards.

All the homeless need is a chance to recover, a place to call home and a chance to thrive and survive without judgement of life on the street.

The protesters need a change of attitude. They ackowledge that someone should do something to help the homeless, as long as it isn't in their neighbourhood.

Let's help these less fortunate by providing a decent roof over their head and give them a place to call home. Something that these protesters take for granted.

Some of Richmond's residents who drive luxury cars and live in million dollar homes need some perspective. Shame on you.

Congratulation to Richmond's City Council's response to homelessness and in keeping with what should be a guide to a healthy community. The City of Richmond and BC Housing seem committed to ensuring everyone has a place to call home. Let's be a little more supportive of this initiative.

New Carshare company launches Pedal-powered Trikes.

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Bill deMooy, Realtor®

A new carshare... or should I say bikeshare... company called Veemo has launched. Veemo is sort of a new electric-assist solar-powered enclosed tricycle out at UBC that you can take for a ride after signing up for their service.

Since the vehicles are classified as bicycles you can ride...or drive...them in the bike lanes and park them as you would a bicycle.

Much like Evo and Car2Go, but with a more eco-forward mission, Veemo's next move will be into the downtown core. Beyond that they are considering a more global expansion as well as selling bikes directly to consumers.

Sounds like a great idea - I Want One!
