MANY IN MOTION

PIPE PLAN OPPONENTS

Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay arrived here on Monday, and will be continuing through the city on Wednesday. The tour has retraced the Canadian segment of Hansen’s original Man in Motion tour, but this time the phrase is “many in motion,” as 7,000 participants from across Canada have become medal bearers. They are walking, wheeling and biking their segments of the tour, and passing along the Rick Hansen Medal. The anniversary relay is a 12,000 km, nine-month, 600-community tour. It began Aug. 24, 2011 at Cape Spear – the easternmost point in Canada. The tour came from Chilliwack and wound through Abbotsford on Monday, ending with a celebration at Rick Hansen secondary. BC Lions general manager Wally Buono was one of the medal bearers. Hansen is scheduled to be in Abbotsford on Wednesday, when the relay resumes from his namesake schooL. The medal will drop onto the school field with a skydiver, and Hansen will wheel the medal out of the school for the first leg of its journey to Mission. On of the medal bearers along Downes Road will be Vancouver Canucks icon Trevor Linden, at 11 a.m.
