NORTH SHORE residents were
among 200 riders who cycled 200
kilometres recently to help fight
lung disease in the British Colum-
bia Lung Association’s (BCLA)
Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath.

Eleven North Shore trekkers
raised $5,937 towards a total of
$125,000 collected for lung
disease research, health education
and community programs. Further
donations are expected to come in

over the next few months.

“We are proud of the cyclists
who worked hard to collect dona-
tions toward the goal of $150,000.
It shows that British Columbians
are concerned about research into
lung disease and the importance
of using alternative methods of
transport+tion, ike bicycles, to
reduce ‘“.armful car emissions,”
says BCLA executive director Scott
McDonald.

The two-day bicycle trek route
began and ended in Fort Langley
and lead cyclists through Lynden,
Sumas, Lindell Beach and Cultus
Lake ihe first day and Cultus Lake,
Abbotsford and Bradner the se-
cond. Cyclists from all areas of the
province participated in the trek.

Each trekker was required to
raise a minimum of $350 in dona-
tions before the ride to heip pre-
vent and contral !ung diseases

B.C’s future is in your hands. And it could be
a repeat of 1972.

Over 60% of the vote in 1972 went to free
enterprise...yet an NDP government was formed.
- If the free enterprise vote splits, be prepared to turn
the clock back 20 years to economic and labour
chaos throughout all of British Columbia.

The Harcourt NDP has promised to hit
businesses hard with increased taxes. He's also
promised to rip up B.C.’s most successful labour
laws. There’s no question businesses and families

will be hurt.

You may think the Liberais have now given you
the excuse not to vote for the Socreds, but the
reality is, like 1972, a Liberal vote will guarantee
an NDP government. We believe that a Rita Johnston
government is the only way to protect our social
and economic well being.
