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.
