If you see a red-beaded penguin at the Vancouver Aquarium, holler "Steveston" and see if he turns around.
He might well do, given that his new name is hailed after Richmond's famous village.
The penguin - one of seven African penguins recently arrived at the aquarium - and his buddies were all part of a month-long naming contest.
Entrants were asked to think of B.C. places for names and more than 600 entries poured in.
Richmondite Winnie Kwok stayed loyal to her hometown and offered up a poem, song and video dedicated to why one of the penguins should be called Steveston.
