In recent years, Snowarama
funds have been directed to the
continued operation and expan-
sion of Easter Seal House. It is
especially apt that the money
raised in a particular community
actually services that community
in a very real way.

Since 1955, The British Col-
umbia Lions Society has provid-
ed low-cost accommodation at
Easter Seal House for families
visiting Vancouver to obtain
treatment for their disabled
children. In 1985, the Society
realized its dream of building a
new Easter Seal House in Van-
couver to replace its existing
facility, which was no longer
large enough to meet the de-
mand for accommodation.

The new $2.5 million Easter

Seal House provides shelter for

more than 100 parents and child-
ren per night in 53 self-contained
units, The first floor is com-
pletely wheelchair accessible

_ with specially designed bath-

rooms and kitchens. Staffing by
very competent and dedicated
personnel makes this facility a
modern, comfortable haven for
families far from home.

The Northern Interior Easter
Seal House in Prince George
opened its doors in August, 1983
to provide much-needed accom-
modation for parents whose
children are being treated in
Prince George Regional Hospit-
al. Between July 1, 1985 and
June 30, 1986, 4,792 persons
were accommodated at Easter
Seal House in Vancouver, while
another 714 spent time at the
Northern Interior Easter Seal
House. Of those children
needing treatment, 351 were
under one year of age.

Easter Seal House really do
serve the whole province. Those
staying at Easter Seal House
during the past years came from
Victoria and other areas of Van-
couver Island, the North Coast,
and Queen Charlotte Islands,
Northern Interior communities
such as Terrace and Kitimat,
The Yukon and Northwest Ter-
ritories, Peace River District,
Prince George, Quesnel, Will-
iams Lake, Kamloops, and
Okanagan, the Kootenays, and
the Fraser Valley.

Easter Seal House is just one
of the services that is offered by
the British Columbia Lions Soci-
ety for Crippled Children. How-

Snowarama ’91 supports Easter Seal House

Terrace area snowmobilers have raised thousands of dollars over the past several years to

help the B.C. Lions Society for

Crippled Children, and they're getting ready to do it again. Snowarama '91 is scheduled to take place Feb. 10 on the West Kalum
Road. Pledges are being collected now. Lo

ever, it would not be possible
without the support of organiza-
tions such as the B.C. Snowmo-
bile Federation and the contrib-
utions of each and every Snow-
arama participant, volunteer,
and sponsor. Snowarama is, in
every sense, a provincial
charitable project supporting an
essential provincial service.

The Skeena Valley Snowmo-
bile Assn., amember of the B.C.
Snowmobile Federation is proud
to sponsor this event in the Ter-
race area. Snowarama 1991 is
tenatively scheduled for Feb. 10
on the West Kalum (Nass) road.
Anyone who would like to par-
ticipate in the event is welcome
to come out. Pick up a pledge
sheet from either Ken’s Marine
or Terrace Equipment Sales and
start collecting pledges. This is
not a race—the only competition
here is to see who collects the
most pledged funds. If you are
unable to ride in the event please
show your support when asked
to pledge.
