MOUNTAIN bikers from Argyle
and Handsworth secondaries
rode in style at the B.C. champi-
onships — thanks to Bicycle
Sports Pacific.

The 10-year-old Lynn Valley store sup-
plied 130 custom cycling jerseys, worth
$12,600 at rerail, for free.

“These are not simply store jerseys,” said
Michacl Thell, who owns Bicycle Sports
Pacific with wife Wendy. “Rather, cach jersey
was custom designed using school colours
and team input.”

The jerseys contain small logos for Bicycle
Sports Pacific and suppliers like helmet
maker Bell Sports Canada, bike manutactur-
ers Cannondale and Giant, and shoe compa-
ny Airwalk.

Thel!’s employees also provided safety
checks and maintenance during all high
school races on the North Shore.

“As a parent on the North Shore I am
aware that school budgets are shrinking,”
said Thell, an Argyle graduate. “I therefore belicve schools will
increasingly have to look to corporate sponsors to help with the
cost of extracurricular activities.”

North Vancouver school board chair Doug MacKay-Dunn
wishes there were more businesses like Thell’s.

“Anyone that wants to assist with the sports program we're
going to look very carefully a:. We're certainly not going to
stand in the way as long as the needs of the children have been
met and nothing has been compromised.”

A 1967 school board regulation, which was reviewed in
1988, said principals must ensure schools aren’t used to display,
distribute or advertise a product, scrvice or function on behalf
of a person, business or organization, unless:

@ the display will not lead to the exploitation of students;

MacKay-Dunn said the school board strives for equity
throughout a district where there is both affluence and pover-
ye
Sponsorship must be used to encourage overall participation
rather than reward a small number of elite athletes, he added.
“A lot of kids out there have the natural ability but they
don’t have the opportunity,” he said. “We've got to make sure
everybody gets the same kick at rhe cat. I would not like the
idea of one particular school getting the lion’s share of dona-
tions over other schools.”
