TERRACE — Kelvin Skead,
whose bright smile and adven-
turous spirit have made him a
welcome and familiar encounter
for (in all probability) about half
the people in Terrace over past

Caledonia Schools all acquired
the bars, ramps and fixtures that
would accomodate later students
with handicaps and disabilities.

Kelvin’s mother Marg Skead

been installed on some of the
local sidewalks, but he also
recalled some rather dramatic
spills he’s taken on a couple of
‘them that have design flaws. .

Kelvin has contributed a great
deal to the community, he’s
