NV Locals built ist chairlift From page 14 ~ When Admiral Byrd’s expedi- tion adventured to the South Pole in the 1930s, Martin said that it was short on husky dogs. ‘‘Husky pups born on Grouse were sent down to join the expedition,”’ he attests. The first Grouse chairlift ran from the top of the watershed area to the Grouse Mountain Village. The project engineer was North Van local Peter Vadja, and Grouse’s president and manager at the time the chairlift was being built was Norgate resident Al Beaton. Previous to his involvement with Lifts Ltd., Martin established the first ski shops in Vancouver, the Two Skiers, including a branch in West Vancouver. He was also instrumental in the development of the Alpine Village condominiums at Whistler and the Christiana Inn which used to be located on the shores of Alta Lake. While still an avid skier who competes in Whistler’s Masters 60 and Over ski race, Martin has transferred his business interests to the travel industry, and has been involved with Capilano Travel for the past 12 years. Coho Start at THE COHO Festival is tradi- tionally a West Vancouver-based event, but Cleveland Dam will be the starting point for the Sept. 11 Coho Walk which is being spon- sored by the GVRD. Participants in the 7.5 kilometre walk are asked to meet at Park Royal South, where a Coho Walk Shuttlebus will leave from underneath the readerboard every 15 minutes between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The bus will take walkers to Cleveland Dam, where they will be greeted by North Vancouver District Mayor Marilyn Baker and entertained by the bands Sixuvus and Freddy Fudpucker and his Roving Clones. Sounds of plunging, roaring water, majestic vistas and free trailside refreshments await walkers along the route through high, granite canyons beside the Capilano River. There is also plen- ty of opportunity to view spawning salmon as they conclude their an- nua! odyssey. Walkers should pick up a Family Fun Guide at the Park Royal shut- oo ee alk to dam tle bus stop and get it stamped at the eight salmon lifestyle inter- pretive stations that they will find along the walk. When the three-mile walk con- cludes at Ambleside Park, walkers can take the stamped guide to the GVRD information tent where they will receive a Coho Walk but- ton. There will aiso be $6 Coho Walk T-shirts available and prizes, in- cluding a pair of walking shoes, to be won. Proceeds from the sale of the $t Family Fun Guide will go to Salmonid Enhancement. There will be a return shuttlebus (sorry, no dogs are allowed on the buses) taking walkers from Ambleside back to their cars at Park Royal. The Coho Walk is co-sponsored by GVRD Parks, Outdoor Recre- ation students at Capilano College and Take A Walk, with acknowl- edgements to North Vancouver Parks and Recreation and Western Realty.
