Insurance
West Richmond brokerage in the Seafair area on No. 1 Road, part of the InsureBC network. Autoplan, home, strata, tenant and business coverage for the Seafair, Terra Nova and Steveston side of the city, without a trip into the City Centre crowds.
Autoplan business still means turning up in person with paperwork, which makes location matter more in this category than in almost any other. Getting that done on No. 1 Road in Seafair rather than driving into the City Centre and hunting for a space off No. 3 Road is the entire argument for a west-side brokerage, and for anyone living out here it is a good one.
The range is the standard one: Autoplan, home, strata, tenant and business coverage. Strata and tenant policies deserve singling out in Richmond specifically, because so much of the city's housing is strata and a great many people carry the wrong amount of it, or assume the building's policy covers things it does not. A conversation with a broker about what your strata actually insures is one of those unglamorous errands that saves people serious money after something goes wrong.
Seafair, Terra Nova and Steveston form a distinct part of the city: quieter, flatter, further from the corridor, and served mostly by a handful of small plazas along No. 1 Road. People who live out here do their business locally rather than driving in, and the services that survive out here are the ones that understand that. Telephone before driving over with a folder of documents, and bring more paperwork than you think you need. That advice holds for every broker everywhere and it has never once been wrong.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
