HOST HOMES NEEDED FOR OUT-OF-TOWN RACERS! “Volunteering as a host family for the Tour de Delta is one of the ways that I can give back by representing Ladner as a giving and caring community. I also learnt a lot about the racing community in Canada and my lady racer was certainly polite and respectful of my home. It was my pleasure to volunteer.

I hope to do so again in the future.“ Regards, Judy
