MPS Fantasty Hockey Game and Gala and Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life

Jun 9, 2007

By Catherine "Cat" Barr

The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print.

 

A fight for life is the theme this week as two very worthy causes make athletics the focus of their fundraising. Saturday afternoon at the North Shore Winter Club was where former NHL'ers laced up the skates at the MPS Cup Fantasy Hockey Game and Gala. This devastating disease has been the cause celebre for North Van's Kirsten and Todd Harkins who have tirelessly worked to find a cure for MPS for their eldest son Nicklas. And a rainy, muddy track didn't keep them back at Mahon Park that same afternoon as participants at the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life spent 12+ hours celebrating life and light.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
