In 1956, the mushroom
farmers* collective orga-
nized the Fraser Valley
Mushroom Growers Co-
operative and adopted
Money's trademark.

In the early 1980s. the
popular brown bag was
introduced and an aggres-
sive marketing strategy was
introduced that saw mush-
room consumption double
by the the middle of the
decade.

However, by the end of
the decade the mushroom
industry was in disarray due
to increased competition
based on price rather than
quality.

Today, after a five-year
strategic plan initiated in
1992 by Bykowski, the
provincial industry is back
on track with 70 growers,
and sales of more than $85
million.

recipe from the Done Like

CLOSURES

BRIDGE TRAFFIC WILL BE REDUCED TO
TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION
JUNE 6 - AUGUST 15, 1996

Immediate repairs are required to the bridge deck to ensure
continued public safely and to extend the life of the bridge. One lane
will be closed in each direction around-the-clock, June 6 through
August 15 to minimize the project's duration and overall
inconvenience.

Plan ahead and make your choice now to minimize delays during the
rehabilitation project. The Ministry of Transportation and Highways
encourages vehicles with three or more people to use the project
specific Express Lanes in Vancouver and the North Shore.

Please ensure a smoother commute by allowing extra travel time or
minimize lengthy delays by:
