A
Foreign
statements
by
members,
member
for
West,
Vancouver
caplano,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
Rotary,
Club
of
West
Vancouver
Sunrise
is
an
energetic
service,
Club,
consisting
of
committed
individuals
who
make
an
impact
not
only
in
our
community
but
globally.
For
over
32
years,
this
group
of
dedicated
rotarians
have
embarked
on
many
projects
which
have
truly
made
a
difference.
In
fact,
it
was
actually
rotary
that
initially
piqued
my
interest
in
Canadian
politics,
as
they
sponsored
me
way
back
in
high
school
to
visit.
Parliament
Ottawa
meet
the
Prime
Minister
while
rotary,
surprise,
Sunrise
his
generous
sponsors
and
partners.
A
They
also
fundraise
for
the
projects
they
support
and
one
of
their
signature.
Community
fundraisers
is
an
event
called
the
rotary
ride
for
rescue.
This
is
a
cycling
event
where
participants
ride
up
Cypress
Mountain.
How
it
works
is
that
an
individual
or
a
team
of
cyclists
registers
their
commitment
to
ride
in
the
event
and
then,
in
the
weeks
leading
up
to
the
ride,
they
gather
donations
from
families,
friends
and
community
members
in
support
of
their
efforts.
A
The
ride
starts
at
the
corner
of
Cypress
Bull
Road
and
Cypress
Lane,
where
cyclists
climb
to
an
elevation
of
900
meters
and
travel,
a
distance
of
over
14
kilometers
to
the
Finish
Line
at
the
Cypress
Bowl
Nordic
ski
area,
there's
also
a
mountain
bike
route,
as
well
as
a
virtual
ride
for
those
who
want
to
partake
at
home
and
guess
which
one
I
might
be
doing.
Mr
Speaker
the
event
benefits
among
other
great
causes,
North
Shore
rescue,
hence
the
name
of
the
event.
A
North
Shore
rescue
reliefs
relies
on
donations
for
things
like
critical,
ongoing
member
training
and
regular
updating
of
equipment
to
help
them
with
their
important
search
and
rescue
work,
as
they
are
very
appreciative
of
the
financial
contributions
the
rotary
Sunrise
makes
to
the
organization.
This
year.
The
ride
takes
place
on
June
10th,
marking
the
12th
anniversary
of
the
event
and,
while
I
won't
be
riding
myself,
I
will
be
joining
rotary
ride.
Chair
Karen
Harrison

the
beautiful
Cypress
pop-up
Village
to
congratulate
participants
on
their
successful
Quest
up
the
mountain.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
