These athletes will compete in
19 events including sports ranging
from tennis, rugby and horse
shoes to body building, the
triathlon, and the ‘‘toughest com-
petitor alive’’ competition. A total
of 47 evencs will be held.

The Narth Shore competitors
will be joining 313 competitors
from throughout B.C. — the se-
cond largest group attending the
games, according to Larry Reda, a
retired firefighier who is chairman
of the North Shore Police and
Fire Games committee.

Reda says bis committee plans
to register as a non-profit society
so that fundraising activities can
continue for the 1993 games in
Colorado and the 1995 games in
Australia.

“Obviously, its important to

have an organization formed to
keep the fundraising going,’’ he
says.

Held in Vancouver, the 1989
Woarld Police and Fire Games at-
tracted 6,800 competitors from 24
countries and thousands of spec-
tators. Reda says at least 5,000
athletes will compete in Memphis.

At the 1989 World Police and
Fire Games, 108 North Shore
competitors won a total of 39
medals including three gold, 22
silver and 14 bronze.

This year North Vancouver city
firefighter Paul Granger has been
selected to carry the B.C. flag into
the opening ceremonies.

Granger will be defending his
gold medal in the open division
for triathletes.

The North Shore soccer team is
also going to have another run at
the gold medal. At the Vancouver
games, the team had to settie for
a silver medal after it was
defeated by the Netherlands.

For the past !8 months, North
Shore tirefighters and poli. of-
ficers have been involved in’ a
variety of fundraising efforts to
help defray the $1,200 cast for
