Follow the flame

THE OLYMPIC Torch comes
through North Vancouver the
morning of Sunday, Jan. 24 on its
way to Calgary, stopping here for
a special ceremony at Cleveland
Dam Park.

The torch will come over the
Lions Gate Bridge just after 9a.m.,
being handed to West Vancouver's
Rob Peliatt at Marine Drive at ap-
proximately 9:09 a.m.

After that the torch is handed to
other runners — including North
Vancouver’s Sandra Wozney,
Pamela Culver and Erin Nunweiler
— on its way to Cleveland Dam.

The three North Shore mayors
will welcome the flame on_ its
Canada-wide trip and former
North and West Vancouver Olym-
pians will take part in the event.

Carrying the torch from the cer-
emony will be North Vancouver’s
Trevor Smith..

Prior to the arrival of the torch
at Cleveland Dam, a pre-arrival
ceremony at 8:54 a.m. will feature

focal politicians and entertainment
from school bands.

Eighteen North and West Van-
couver residents will be honored
with Celebration 88 medals for
their on-going contribution to the
local amateur sports scence.

After the torch leaves the cere-
mony site there will be a Celebra-
tion 88 fun run/walk travelling
through the trails of the Capilano
River Regional Park.

“This event should not be seen
as a race,'' said North Vancouver
Recreation Commission director
Gary Young. ‘‘ its purpose is for
citizens to join in the spirit of the
Olympic torch run as it crosses our
country.**

The District of North Vancouver
enginecring department reminds
residents that parking is limited
near the ceremony site; some add-
ed parking is available where per-
mitted on nearby Capilano Road,
Prospect, Clements and Mon-
troyal.
