Richmond nine departure.

OK, this has been bugging me for awhile.

Often departures off 08R at YVR are cleared for a Richmond (Richmond being the suburb the airport is located on) nine departure instead of runway heading. Have always thought this would be a heading of 090 - hence Richmond 9. Please clarify.
