Richmond roots植根列治文

Sacha was born and raised in Richmond. His father came from Germany, and his mother was of Chinese and Japanese heritage, a family story that looks a lot like Richmond itself.施培德在列治文出生及長大。他的父親來自德國，母親則有中國及日本血統，他的家庭正是列治文多元面貌的寫照。

He spent about ten years in Chilliwack, where he served on the Cultus Lake Park Board, the School District 33 (Chilliwack) Audit Committee and the Chilliwack Transportation Committee. He returned to the Lower Mainland in 2016, and in 2020 he came home to Richmond. He lives in Richmond Centre.他曾在奇利瓦克（Chilliwack）生活約十年，期間出任 Cultus Lake 公園局委員、第33學區（奇利瓦克）審計委員會委員及奇利瓦克交通委員會成員。他於2016年回到大溫地區，2020年重返家鄉列治文，現居於列治文中區。

A record of accountability問責的紀錄
