Mr. Premier Arrives

Introductions. Thank yous. Spirit of BC week is here. Applause! Thank yous. More introductions. Applause. 2010 Legacies Now and for a long time after. Applause!! Now let's start the games...


Sledge hockey is a fast-growing and popular sport that's inclusive of everybody. So, before you can say SpiritofBC, Mr. Premier jumps in and starts playing a game of sledge hockey!

No, I'm not kidding.

I was there. And it looked like fun!

Surrey Mayor, Dianne Watts was all smiles (she's a real nice lady) and decked out in the Spirit of BC shwagg - matching scarf, vest, and support flag.

Sledge Hockey - The Game

There was a team on the ice playing along with paralympian athlete Gary Cormack. He got a medal in curling at the Torino Paralympics!

There were fireworks, a synchronized skating demonstration by local athletes, a drumming performance by the Children of the Rainbow Drum Group and much more.

More later. I'm signing off for the weekend.

I'll be back with news from around the province because Spirit of BC Week is province-wide!

There's events in Abbotsford, Vanderhoof, Campbell River, and many more communities where I'll be getting the full scoop.
