Letters: Support Richmond businesses, each other in time of crisis

Dear Editor, What the last couple of weeks have brought to us has been unbelievable. Richmond, along with everywhere else in Canada, has been struggling to cope. I find my Steveston neighbourhood trying to find its way in this new environment.

Shane Dagan, owner of the Steveston Seafood House, was denied a business license at the Imperial Landing boardwalk after arguing his restaurant is a maritime use as it supports the commercial fishing industry.

Dear Editor,

What the last couple of weeks have brought to us has been unbelievable. Richmond, along with everywhere else in Canada, has been struggling to cope. I find my Steveston neighbourhood trying to find its way in this new environment.

It is very depressing to see the heart-rending notes taped to the front of so many closed small businesses that were struggling before the arrival of this virus. There are things that we can do.

Please support our merchants who are struggling. Many are offering take-out meals. We ordered dinner from Steveston Seafood House and it was, as usual, delicious. Their fine linguine brightened our day and hopefully they are encouraged to carry on. We will all be in better shape if we support each other, even if it is from two metres away.
