The bus, which is equipped with
a wheelchair lift, can hold up to six
wheelchairs and has a 12-seat ca-
pacity.
TAKING AN EXCURSION

Ten out of 150 residents took
part in Tuesday’s excursion to
Lynn Valley shopying mall.

“They seally enjoyed it,’ said
Paterson.

“Now they're looking forward
to going farther afield — shopping
trips to Nanaimo, Victoria and
Bellingham. All these trips are
possible now. We also have many
active gardeners here who want to
visit. Fantasy Garden World in
Richmond.’”

Paterson said the lodge could
not offer trips outside of the Van-
couver region before, because it
never had a vehicle capable of car-
rying wheelchairs or volunteer
drivers willing to go on longer
trips.

FUNDRAISING

Maurice Fellis, president of the
North Shore Intermediate Society,
said the non-profit organization
had been fundraising for the past

year to make the donation possi-
ble.

“It’s a very welcome piece of
equipment to the Jodge,"’ he said.

‘*Part of what the lodge is trying
to do is to encourage residents to
be active. One way to do that is to
take them out inte the community
to attend any events they might
like to see.

“Before people would volunteer
their time, but now we’re going to
be a lot more independent and be
able to provide more frequent
outings.””

Fellis said the society is made up
of all of the Legions on the North
Shore, the North Vancouver
Kiwanis Club and the North Shore
Army and Navy Veterans.

The provincial government of-
fered to provide up to $10,000
towards the cost of the bus, but
Fellis said it is not known yet how
much money the society will ask
the governement to contritute.

That amount will depend on
how much the group was able to
raise on its own, through raffles
and special fundraising events,
such as last summer's Sea Fair.
