Cops for Cancer Inspiration for the RideCops for Cancer is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a life changing event that brings Cops and communities together for a very special cause.

Over a hundred members of law enforcement and emergency services across BC are cycling thousands of kilometers to help kids fi ght cancer. Proceeds from Cops for Cancer allow the Canadian Cancer Society to invest in pediatric cancer research and caring support programs, like Camp Goodtimes, for children living with cancer and their families.

Camp Goodtimes, located beside Loon Lake in Maple Ridge, is committed to creating a safe environment where kids with cancer have the freedom and support to enjoy their summer vacation just like any other kid.

Th ese children are the inspiration for Cops for Cancer. Each year, the cops visit Camp Goodtimes, tour the facility and meet the kids who have sparked the cause for the tour. Th is gives the cops the drive to persevere, put the pedal to the metal and fi nish two challenging weeks of cycling.

Watch for the cops riding through Langley on September 22 and Maple Ridge on September 28 and be sure to cheer them on!

Lessons on How to Dominate Your Market

from Self-Made Entrepreneurs

Who Did It Right

ADAM TOREN AND MATTHEW TOREN

Matthew Toren is an award winning author, serial entrepreneur and local Maple Ridge resident. Along with his brother

Adam, he has bought and sold many companies over the past several years. He co-founded YoungEntrepreneur.com in 1999

which has grown to become the largest social networking forum for entrepreneurs in the world.

Matthew is co-author of the book: Small Business, Big Vision: “Lessons on How to Dominate Your Market from Self-Made

Entrepreneurs Who Did it Right” And also the co-author of the award-winning book: Kidpreneurs - Young Entrepreneurs

with BIG Ideas!

Matthew and his brother Adam have a very large portfolio of websites and domains including 100WaysToMakeMoney.

com, VancouverBC.com, BreakingNews.ca, Blogtrepreneur.com and even a local site: MapleRidgeRestaurants.com – A

directory of Maple Ridge Restaurants with star ratings of all the restaurants. You can follow Matthew on twitter.com/

MatthewToren.

We sat down with Matthew and asked him a question:

What’s on Magazine: What’s the one piece of advice that you would want to make sure that every

young person knows when it comes to business?

Matthew: Th ere are actually two things.

Firstly: follow your passion. If you’re doing what you love, nothing can stand in your way.

Secondly: I think what sets successful entrepreneurs apart more than anything else is perseverance. I

would want young entrepreneurs to know two things about perseverance:

1, You will have challenges and obstacles. Th ey’re inevitable, they’re part of life, and if you look at them

right, they can actually be fun!

2, You can overcome any obstacle if you truly want to. You’ve got the power within you to make it

through anything and come out better on the other side – if you just persevere and refuse to quit.

Maple Ridge

Tee BallUpon signing our daughter Elexus up for T-ball earlier this

year never did we imagine that we would end up coaching her

team.

With very little experience under our belts other than the fact

that coach Chris Sterling and his assistant coach Gavin Lovitt

played ball as children, we rallied up our ambitions and our

skills to create the best season for the kids as we could.

Our practices consisted of batting, throwing and ball chasing

followed by a game against another league team and rounded

off with a dragon race, something that turned out to be the

favorite part for most of the kids.

We witnessed the development of batting skills, throwing

technique and great team work in all eleven of our team

members.

It was great to see all the parents out there cheering on their

little ones and over all seeing the kids just having a good time.

A New School Comes to Town

Imagine … learning activities that are outdoors, experiential,

hands-on and in context. Th e natural and cultural

environments provide the place for learning; the connections

to community enhance and broaden learning. Th e

Environmental School Project is a journey through Place-

based, Imaginative and Ecological Education.

Th is fall, sixty kindergarten through grade seven students

begin the journey. Building on their strengths and talents,

they will grow relationships with the natural world, as well as

learn the stories, histories and knowledge of Maple Ridge/Pitt

Meadows. Th ey will learn as a community with multi-age

families and integrated curriculum.

Over the last 3 ½ years, the Project has taken shape through

extensive communication to ask what it means to learn

ecologically and strengthen relationships. People are

passionate about contextual and experiential learning, are

excited about learning possibilities with and in the natural

world, and are extremely committed to a fl ourishing,

sustainable community.

Imagine … A group of students walking and balancing

along a log. Th ey stop to direct each other’s attention to the

diff erent patterns and feelings of the mosses. Th ey jump

off the log’s end to examine an ancient cedar stump. Th ey

ponder its age, while an Elder begins the tree’s story. Th ey

have many questions. Th e “learning journey” begins.

Th is is a DMRBIA initiative, supported by the District of Maple Ridge/Parks & Leisure Services

Six members of the Ridge Meadows Outdoor Club (RMOC) took to their bikes and spent 5 days cycling the Columbia Western Railway trail. Th is rail line built between Midway and Castlegar by the CPR at the end of the 19th Century is now an unpaved recreational trail.

On day 1 we cycled 32 kilometers to the beautiful, heritage city of Greenwood, famous for their amazing well-maintained 1900 era style houses and businesses.

Next day, a 41- kilometer trek brought us to the historic Russian city of Grand Forks, where we camped at the city site and dined on cabbage rolls, perogies and borscht.

On Day 3 we managed to get into our spandex biking shorts for a short 21-kilometer cycle to the Cascade Gorge on the Kettle River. We camped on top of the gorge with an amazing view of the river carving its way through the canyon down to Christina Lake.

We had our work cut out for us on Day 4, a 52-kilometer ride with a 500-metre elevation gain, spread out over 35 kilometers. Th anks to a local biking group in Castlegar, this part of the trail is in very

good condition, and although quite a grunt cycling 35 kilometers on a packed bike on a 2% grade, it was attainable by going at a steady pace and taking breaks. We camped on a fl at ridge near Bulldog Tunnel.

We put on our headlamps and headed for the long (1 kilometer), very dark, watery, Bulldog Tunnel on Day 5. It was all down hill after that to Castlegar, the end of our journey. It was a fascinating 200-kilometer trip through B.C. history, and a physically challenging, but rewarding cycle.
