RECENTLY I had to say
goodbye to some summer
visitors ‘from Holland
who have made many
good friends in the area.

Cor and Roely Van-
Groeninger came here
from Nieuw-Vennep,
Holland for a six month
holiday in Canada. They
were here visiting Roe-
ly’s sister — Rita Hoek-
stra of Brauns Island.
This was their third visit
to Canada,

Cor has been retired for
the past six years. He was
formerly a travelling
salesman, selling building

supplies, Back in Holland 7
Cor was also very in-

volved in helping to build
three seniors’ housing
complexes.

The first time Cor and
his wife travelled to Can-
ada was a gift: from their
children for a 40th ‘wed-
ding anniversary. During
this and subsequent trips
they travelled extensively
around the province. :

They have seen Alaska,
Hyder, Stewart, the lava
beds, and gone for a hike
on Trapper Mountain.

This summer Cor and
Roely joined a group
which travelled to
Kemano by boat.

However, they left for
home on October 13,
leaving behind many new
friends, We- hope. they
will be back again soon
for a visit. .

THE TERRACE Women’s
Resource Centre is distribut-
ing white ribbons for people
to show their support for
ending violence against
women. They’re asking
people to wear the ribbons
the week of December 4-8.
This week is significant, be-
cause it was during that time
in 1989 that one man mue-
dered 14 women in
Montreal.

The women's centre hopes
the ribbons will remind men
and women throughout the
northwest that violence
against women is all too
common.

Over the last few year,
Canadians have worn white
ribbons to symbolize their
support towards ending
violence against women.

The women's centre is of
fering the ribbons free of
charge. You can call them at
638-0228 to arrange ribbons
for co-workers and family,
