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.
