Lorraine is an enerietic woman, she exudes warmeh and a reat love for her career as owner of Tilsonbuzry Farins, a 140-acre cranberry farm near Fort Langley. As a recreational canoeist and cranberry farmer, she began promoting the link between the two by spearhead- ing a voyageur canoe race in Fort Langley, the birthplace of cranberry farming in the province. The canoe race was capped off by paddlers carrying a eask of cranberries across the finish line, similar to how cran- berries were delivered to the Fort more than a century ago. Motivated by the historical fink, Lorraine is helping to rebuild BC's strength in the sport. To do so. she is sponsor- ing Canada’s top race and bring- ing it tJ the province. The race, now called dhe 1998 Tilsonberry Farms Canadian Spriat Canoe Championships, will occur in Whistler August 19-23. ft is expected to draw 2,000 people daily.

Lorraine states that the bond between the sport and farming is more than historical. “You need a lot of determina- tion to win a race and you need Lorraine Tilson a Jot determination to grow cranberries.
