tion, Community Awareness and
Emergency Response) train allows
the public to walk through so that
they can learn how chemicals are
transported by rail and what safe-
ty precautions are taken.

Built by the Canadian Chemical
Producers’ Association, the
TransCAER is used for training
chemical company personnel — as
well as firemen, police officers,
and other emergency response
crews — in the safe transport of
chemicals and dealing with spills
or other problems.

Another popular display this
year will be the various model
railroads which will be on display
at the nearby BC Rail head-
quarters building.

Once again Port Day is free to
the public. The concession stands

are the only areas where the
public will have to pay and this
year there will be no shortage of
food.

The Seymour Lions Club of
North Vancouver will hold a pan-
cake breakfast from 9 a.m. to 11
a.m. and North Shore Rescue will
also have a kitchen open. The
PMTI kitchen is also open on
Port Day.

Duggan encourages the public
to take public transit because
there will be very limited public
parking around the Waterfront
Park/PMTI location.

“The whole purpose of Port
Day is that it is the one day of the
vear that the people who own the
port, the public, can have a close
up look at what the port’s all
about.

“The rest of the year the port is
closed because it is a dangerous
place to be,’’ says Duggan.

Port Day will be open from 10
am. to 4 p.m., although the
Lions Club pancake breakfast will
start at9 a.m.
