ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

It’s not very often B.C. residents visit a Cana-dian iconic residence like Rideau Hall in Ot-tawa, the home of Canada’s Governor General and the site of Royal visitors and international dignitaries. But on June 7 that’s just where Mat-thew and Simon Gallant were honoured to be in attendance for the presentation of their Medals of Bravery along with 44 other recipients.

In January 2011, the Gallant brothers rescued twin toddlers from a burning apartment with-out thought to their own safety or the wisdom of such a spontaneous act of bravery.

And since that event, both men have found the attention and recognition for their extraor-dinary act of courage both disconcerting and somewhat undeserved, claiming anyone in the same circumstances would have done the same.

However, most who hear the story disagree, arguing it takes a special kind of person or per-sons to act so sel� essly.

As the ceremony began with an address by Governor General David Johnston, 46 Medal of Bravery recipients and one Star of Courage recipient were presented by Johnston, their cou-rageous acts read to the more than 120 invited guests and the Medal of Bravery pinned to their chest over the heart.

Matthew and Simon, resplendent in their suits and looking very proud, graciously accepted their medals and were photographed with the Governor General.

It was a very moving moment for his parents, Matthew’s � ancé Jody Rosner and three family friends from Vancouver who made the trip to Ottawa to see the brothers receive this excep-tional honour.

A luncheon reception was served in one of the many palatial reception rooms and the guests and recipients were invited to tour Rideau Hall.

Although only one toddler survived the ordeal, the remaining twin Samantha Irwin, is doing much better than medical experts expected and one day she will learn of the incredibly brave brothers who saved her life.

The Twinning Society has occupied this space since the facility was opened in 2004.

Council also allocated $2,500 from the council projects account (as the 2013 budget has already been finalized) to increase the fee for service provided to the Shiraoi Twinning Society for 2013.

They are expecting a delegation from Japan in October this year.

Council approved staff applying for and administering this grant funding and if successful, the city would offer grants to private businesses/property owners for qualifying façade improvement projects.

Grants would be up to $5,000 in the way of matching funds and eligible projects would be facade improvements that increase compliance with development permit guidelines in South and West Quesnel, Highway Frontage and Downtown Development Permit areas.

Airport investmentCouncil approved the

recommendation to support the $244,815 grant application made by the city to the Northern Development Initiative Trust under the Economic Diversification Infrastructure Program for the apron expansion project at the Quesnel Regional Airport.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)The term “off-label drugs” refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an anti-malarial drug to treat night time leg cramps.Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine.Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has.It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, “there’s no such thing as a healthy tan”. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants. For advice on allergy and sunscreen products, talk to our pharmacists. We keep up to date on all the latest products available for summer ailments.

Business Valuation

Businesses are worth what someone is willing to pay. Common

Valuation methods include: the liquidation approach, industry rules of

thumb and valuing future cash flows. There are several approaches

to establishing a value for a small business: asset based, market

approach and income approach. The income approach is based on

the principle of future benefits and future earnings, which is what a

buyer is looking for! Ask your accountant which approach is best for

your business. Come and listen to "What's your business worth?" on

What dad needs to knowFather’s Day is

reserved for celebrating

the men in our lives. Whether it’s grandpa, dad, an uncle, or a husband, families do what they can on this day each year to make each man feel special and appreciated.

While a new tie, a round of golf or a pair of game tickets may be well-received, the most generous gift one can give is information that will help him take stock of his health and well-being.

Here are five important messages to share with him this Father’s Day – or any day of the year:

• Eat well: It’s important to make healthy choices and consume a well-balanced diet consisting of whole grains, vegetables, fruit, milk and alternatives, protein and healthy fats each day, to provide the body with the energy, vitamins and minerals it requires.

• Be active: According to the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, being active for at least 150 minutes per week can help reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, premature death and certain types of cancer. Exercise also promotes improved fitness, strength and mental health.

• Laugh more: Research shows laughter is a great medicine. Humour produces psychological and physiological effects on the body that are similar to the health benefits of aerobic exercise.

• Get checked: Though many men tend to avoid their doctor, an annual visit is highly recommended

by health care practitioners. It allows for necessary tests to screen for a variety of health issues and help to flag anything that could be cause for concern.

• Address issues: If his strength and muscle tone aren’t the same as what they were last summer, or he’s not himself lately (irritable mood, lack of concentration, low energy etc.) – it’s important to investigate. These symptoms can be attributed to several conditions; in some cases, the culprit is hypogonadism, also known as low testosterone. This medical condition, which can be undiagnosed, is estimated to affect

up to 25 per cent of men in Canada over the age of 40 and can lead to symptoms such as reduced sex drive, decreased energy, body changes, mood changes and sexual dysfunction. In addition, the prevalence of low testosterone in men suffering from Type 2 diabetes is between 33 per cent and 50 per cent, and clinical guidelines

published by the Endocrine Society recommend screening the testosterone levels of all men with Type 2 diabetes. If he is experiencing any symptoms out of the ordinary, it’s important that he speaks with his doctor. Not all cases of low testosterone need to be treated, but it can be a warning sign for other health concerns.

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

– James A. Baldwin

It’s one of the most disgusting acts one can imagine.According to the BC Centre

for Elders, abuse means an action, or deliberate behaviour by a person in a position of trust that causes physical, emotional or mental harm. And with 61,000 seniors in British

Columbia experiencing abuse, it’s time we took a good hard look at how we treat our elders – or perhaps as important, how we view those abusing our seniors. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

(WEAAD) is this Saturday, June 15. The organization works to bring recognition of abuse and neglect and to highlight the need for prevention and community involvement. The BC Centre for Elder Advocacy

outlines the main reasons for elder abuse, noting power and control as primary motivators. It’s also interesting to note the

varying categories of abuse: financial, physical, mental and sexual. The 17-page document provides

readers with scenarios for each circumstance to determine levels or abuse.What is wrong with our society

that we need a “definition” of treating someone like fecal matter? While the document is surely

a guideline and reference point for many, it boggles the mind we need written explanations of what is acceptable behaviour towards another. This Saturday take note of how

you treat one another. Behaviour and attitude towards others is learned, so why not teach kindness? And just as important, speak

out if witnessing abuse. Children and seniors are among our most vulnerable and need our help, not our silence.

–Autumn MacDonald, Observer

As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy

Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year.

Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny.

That’s still not happening in B.C.

Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses.

Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more

than $60 million a year.Now-retired speaker Bill

Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either.

I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable.

A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under

the red rug of the Senate chamber.

Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.

This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle.

Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers!

You can imagine how well that worked out. As one

observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it.

Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure.

British Columbia cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum.

As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available.

But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others.

It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

During the election I became aware of Drive Able.

I had not really paid any attention to it – perhaps I should have. As a senior I found it very disconcerting when I had my brother-in-law, (who just happens to be much older than me) for dinner and realized how upset he was. Of course, I asked questions and thought if what he told me was correct then yes, seniors should be upset.

DriveAble is NOT just for seniors. No matter your age, cognitive

processes can become impaired as a result of medical conditions or medications. DriveAble should not be confused with the requirement for drivers over 80 years of age, and every two years thereafter, to have a driver

medical exam report. This assessment

is similar to an eye or hearing test. No familiarity with a computer is needed for their application. From what I understand you only need to touch a screen or press a button – I envision it being similar to using a debit or bank machine. Apparently, you can have practice session to see what is required. (I actually watched a short demonstration on the web site). Most of the information is on the web site for those that have a

computer; I printed the information off for my brother-in-law to read. www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv

A medical practicioner will request the assessment if they have concerns with a patient’s cognitive ability to drive. Considering a person has been referred for DriveAble assessment, it is recommended that someone drive you for the test. If the person conducting the session or test feels you are too nervous or overly stressed, they will suggest you book another

appointment. According to the info I read there is no cost for the DriveAble assessment nor the DriveAble on-road test.

The person conducting the test does not tell you whether you have passed or failed – that information is forwarded to the office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles – the results can take upward of 4 weeks. You will be notified by mail of any decision.

If you, or your physician, feel that your cognitive ability has improved and you wish

another assessment, there is a cost.

In all sincerity, I hope this information helps clear up some of the confusion about DriveAble. If you have more concerns perhaps a friend or family member will find the information and print it for you to read.

Mary Glassford is a long-term Quesnel resident, former Cariboo Regional District director and city councilor and president of the Post Secondary Education Council.

To support women undergoing hair loss, the Canadian Cancer Society provides free wigs at their CCS offices and facilities across Canada. Many of the wigs are donat-ed and distributed by volunteers. Frankie, at Berges Styling, is one example.

On behalf of everyone at the Canadian Cancer Society, we thank Frankie. Frankie is a wonderful individual who cleans and cuts the donated wigs the Quesnel Unit receives for cancer patients. Her services do not go unnoticed; when her clients look good, they feel better, too. Yes, this has the potential to turn a life around. The barrier to entry for getting involved is very low and a few hours a month can really make a change. Hope-fully, one day service will be as much a part of our day as hanging out with friends or eating lunch.

One of life’s greatest question is “What are you doing for oth-ers?” I can tell you what Frankie is doing and it is nothing short of amazing. There are so many amazing qualities that exist within all of us. We have the ability to

be creative, loving, courageous, inspiring, wise, caring, kind, vi-sionary, compassion-ate and present. This list is endless. Thank you Frankie, for be-ing there to enhance the quality of life for those women who

must deal with cancer. The world will only start to change when you start to change who you are in the world.

There’s a new hand on the tiller with Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association.

Bob Salmons assumed the role of president in December last year and will be in that position for a minimum of two years.

“I see my role as overseeing the activities of the 12-member board of directors,” he said.

“There’s eight at-large positions, one member from the Canadian Cancer Society, one from the hospital, one from home care and one physician position.

“I take my direction from the board of directors and share that with the membership. The board is very much a working board, they’re active in all aspects of the organization.”

Salmons said he was asked to join the board two years ago.

“I had just lost a couple of close friends who had greatly bene� ted from the hospice/palliative care program,” he said.

“So I already had some knowledge of the organization.”

Now that Salmons is retired, he felt he had the time, the opportunity was there and felt this was one way he wanted to contribute to the community.

“We’re very fortunate to have palliative care in the community,” he said of the volunteer services

and hospice facility.“There are a lot of people who bene� t

from the program.”He added he sees the organization’s

job as making sure people know what’s available in the way of support to both those diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and their families.

“We need to educate the public and

health care workers about what services are available,” he said.

“All our volunteers are fully trained. We recommend people contact QDHPCA at the time of diagnosis but realistically about six months before they’re expected to die.

“However, regardless of the diagnosis, our emphasis is on

living the best quality of life.”He admitted it’s very hard to say how

long a person has after diagnosis and with the restrictions of admittance to a hospice bed (three months maximum time to be in a hospice bed), palliative care programs work closely with patients and families to keep the patient in a family environment as long as possible.

Some of the issues facing families and patients regarding hospice services impose an unnecessary burden including the per diem charge of $31.90 a day.

“This rate is not only � nancially demanding, this is another decision at a very dif� cult time in a person’s life,” Salmons said.

“It’s almost like a death tax. People aren’t moving to hospice as a lifestyle choice, this is an end of life issue.

“Patients and families are often faced with the choice of the cost of hospice versus the no-cost-to-patient acute care option.

“In actual fact, acute care daily cost to the health care system is probably

two to three times more expensive than a hospice bed.”

Salmons also referred to the recently released government document End of Life Care Action plan.

“It’s an excellent � rst step,” he said.“It allows palliative care advocates to

partner in discussions around this vital issue which affects everyone.”

Women are daring, skilled, excellent aviation show people, in a nutshell they are everything a man is with one significant exception – they’re women.

Melissa Pemberton is one outstanding female aerobatic pilot whose shows provide gyroscop-ic maneuvers to the extremely complex and technical maneuvers learned through competi-tion.

Pemberton views each venue as a new palate where she can create a beautiful painting in the sky. And she’s bringing her creative dare-devil antics to Skyfest - Quesnel’s International Airshow, Aug. 3 – 4.

At just 29 years old, Pemberton brings a young, daring vitality to the airshow atmo-sphere. But don’t let her young years fool you, she earned her pilot’s licence at the age of 18 and has been perfecting her aerobatic abilities ever since with solo and formation experience, multiple competitive awards, International air show performances including over water and high density altitudes.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Pember-ton was introduced to aviation and aerobatics by her flying grandmother in a Cessna 150 Aerobat.

She now flies a Zivco Edge 540 which is ca-pable of a 420 degree per second roll rate and a 3,700 foot per minute climb rate.

With every show, Pemberton strives to be a positive role model and inspiration to young people in aviation and women across the world, showing them that no dream is too big and nothing is impossible.

Tickets are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear and the Tourist Info Centre for weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping pack-ages.

LIFESTYLES

A twining delegation of 14 students along with five adults travelled from Shiraoi arrived in Quesnel the last week of April.

The students visited several schools while in Quesnel.

The Japanese students flew many hours across the sea to visit Quesnel, a town they had not seen before.

One of the schools they visited was Lakeview, which is twinned with Midori elementary in Shiraoi, Japan.

The Japanese school had sent a school photo last year to commemorate the 30 years of the twinning of the two schools.

One of our teachers, Colleen Brigden, wanted to reciprocate.

When Brigden was in Japan last year, she noticed the photo of Lakeview was from 1988, the first year she taught at Lakeview school.

So she made the plan to gift a

recent school photo to the delegation when they were here in Quesnel.

The presentation was made jointly by Brigden and Cynthia Bernier,

who came and spoke on behalf of the board. It seemed appropriate to have the whole school participate in the presentation as that is often how things are done in Japan and and sharing this information about the twinning to the other students of Lakeview seemed a good idea.

The Lakeview student in the photo with Ayana Kuramoto (left) and Brigden (left) is Sydney White. She’s in Grade 6 and was Kuramoto’s home stay host. Brigden spoke briefly about her experience as a delegate to Shiraoi last July in hopes of encouraging and sparking some interest in the future delegations and to raise awareness of our twin school.

Come see what we’re all about. For information, phone 250-992-6532 and leave a message, someone will call you back.

Flouting Willie’s advice

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

Despite Willie Nelson’s admonition to mothers, plenty of parents brought their children to Quesnel to try their hands at being cowboys and cowgirls at the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals.

Students from all over B.C. and a few from Alberta converged on Quesnel last weekend for the B.C. High School Rodeo finals.

With ten different categories, featuring a new go around each of the three days, for riders from

cutting to bull riding, the event offered up an array for both fans and competitors.

Despite the weather more skittish than a colt, the event went off well, according to Darla Cork, one of the organizers.

“There was a huge turnout. It was a great success,” she said.

The B.C. high school rodeo had a team come in to prep the event and were complimented by a raft of volunteers to make sure everything went smoothly and it did according to Cork.

June 9 – 15, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20You could be feeling under the weather this week, Aries. Even if your to-do list is a mile long, you need to take some time to recuperate before getting back to business.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Life experience is your advantage, Taurus. When your company is looking to fill a position, they will most likely hire from within. Make the most of this opportunity.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, just when things seem hopeless, a small ray of light shines through and you find a solution to your problem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to find the answer you’re looking for.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but others are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don’t know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

It was a rough start to the racing season for the QARA, as temperamental weather left drivers and fans wondering whether the season would start as scheduled.

The race was especially important for drivers as every place was worth more than usual, with double points.

After a slow start as organizers worked out kinks that got

into the system over the winter, drivers had just begun warm up when the rain came, making the track treacherous.

The sun kept the hope of the drivers and fans up enough that everyone waited until it followed through on its promise and came out to make the racing a reality.

The QARA’s Terry Braman in his number 52 Pontiac Grand Am won the Mr. Mikes mini stocks over the weekend, jumping off

into a solid lead with 140 points.

The number 99 Chevrolet of Brian Zipser, also of QARA took second, and 114 points on the weekend.

Chris Closson came in third in his number 96 Honda Civic, tying for points with fourth place driver Robin Blair in number 24.

In Quesnel Iron Street Stocks, QARA’s John Chatman came in first in his number 8 car to take 48 points

Tim Westwick

came from Williams Lake to take on the Quesnel racers, taking second in his number 56 car leaving him ten points behind Chatman at 38 points.

QARA’s Henry Peterson took third in number 11, taking 36 points in the process.

The Oval will see racing again next weekend, June 22.

Sunday, June 16 The Quesnel Minor Football

Committee is running towards the goal for the start of the 2013 football season.

They want to have players, ages 7- to 13-years-old, on Cariboo Field this summer, and they need your help.

The plan is in place, the players are ready, but coaches are needed, so Quesnel Minor Football (QMF) is calling for anyone interested to get in the game.

To answer the call, you are invited to a coaches meeting on June 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the Correlieu High School library.

The return of minor football to Quesnel is creating a lot of excitement – especially among the children. Quesnel Minor Football coordinator Michael Keryluik is pleased, but not surprised by the response.

“We knew that once the word got out that the kids

would want to play,” Keryluik said.

“The challenge is not finding the players, it’s finding the coaches.

“We know they are here in the community, now we have to find them. We have had many people step up to volunteer and now we are looking for three key people willing to be the primary coaches.”

Keryluik goes on to say that the willingness of volunteers has been amazing.

“The QMF Committee now consists of seven people who are committed to getting this started.”

Many others have also volunteered to help out where needed. Many are willing to help as assistant coaches, but don’t feel confident as head coaches.

“We can work with that,”

Keryluik said. “We will train the coaches at

the same time we’re training the players. We just need one person for each division to take on the head coach role.”

The three divisions are atoms (ages 7 – 9), pee wee (ages 10 – 11), and junior bantam (ages 12 – 13).

If you have any experience with football the QMF Committee wants to hear from you.

Whether you’ve played football in the past or just been a fan of the game, you might be surprised how at how much you know.

For information on how you can be involved, contact Michael Keryluik at 250-983-7006, or email him at [email protected].

The youth of Quesnel thank you.

Cariboo gets results in B.C. H.S. Rodeo from A14

Cork was happy with the results of the local riders, saying they did well overall.

Five local riders finished in the top tier of their events during the weekend.

Lane Cork took first in the Quesnel-dominated bull riding event.

“All the bulls were rank and made for an exciting event,” he said.

Cork rode to first in every go around of the event.

Levi Lawlor took second in bullriding, while Dustin Spiers rounded out the all Quesnel podium.

Spiers also took first in team roping with team mate Ricky

Warren, riding out of Hudson’s Hope.

Rachelle Hancock took third in breakaway roping with a solid performance across all three go arounds.

“There were so many great and tough competitors there this weekend. I was thrilled to have placed third. I just went out there and tried my best,” she said

Out of town riders dominated the composite all

around cowboy and all around cow girl event, Dustin Spiers took seventh over all, which, on his first outing in the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals, was high enough to see him named as the rookie of the year.

The event ended with a grad dinner to celebrate the riders that would be graduating from high school and the B.C. High School Rodeo.

The event was

amazing said Cork.Some of the

students moving on from the rodeo received scholarships, including locals Lane Cork, Brooke Wills, Levi Lalor and Rachelle Hancock.

Also representing Quesnel on the weekend were Lane, McKenzie and Brett Wills, Rikki Hutnyk, Ashley Zapone, Mariah Mannering, Sarah Mack, Savanah Watson and Tavis and Brayden Roch.

A very sincere heartfelt thank you to our incredible community!!

Thank you to the 26 teams, the 245 registered participants, the 150 volunteers, the countless visitors, and the hundreds of very generous donors who all came together on Saturday, May 25 to Celebrate survivors, Remember loved ones, and Fight Back against cancer. Despite some rain, we had a great day and together we raised over $109,000!! Highlights of the day include:

• Our guest speakers Ray Kinloch and Melanie McKinnon who shared their stories and inspired us all to keep � ghting.

• Get Snapped! Photobu� ons on site to preserve your Relay memories!

• Talented groups and individuals and the sound/stage crew from McKillican Production Services that kept us entertained all day long!!

• Our mid Field Activities provided by Quesnel Pipes & Drums, K-Max Games & Video, Quesnel Downtown Association, Cheryl Scanlan, and Debi Smith – a great time was had by all!

• The powerful message of the Fight Back Team and our third Relay Flash Mob!

• 570 luminaries lining the track, sharing their light of hope through the evening hours.

• Partnering with the Salvation Army Food Bank, we collected many cans of food food items for our luminary ceremony that will be put to good use at the Food Bank.

• Delicious food from our vendors Booster Juice, Knights of Columbus, Fat Daddy’s, Rosie’s Perogies, Mountain East Farms, and A&W, as well as our teams who sold food as well!

The generosity of the people of Quesnel never fails to amaze! Every participant, volunteer, donor, and supporter has helped us to make a di� erence in the � ght against cancer.

Our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude, 2013 Relay For Life Leadership Team

Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who provided sponsorship donations to the event – over $35,000 in cash and gift in kind.

We are very fortunate to live in such a generous community. To anyone we may have missed our sincere apologies.

We greatly appreciate your support and hope to work with you again next year!
