Wednesday, May 25, 1988,

will be written into the history:

Community . Fitness Challenge
hands down. And Elaine
Parmenter of the Terrace
Recreation Department gives her

Rupert by about seven percent and leaving Kitimat in the dust, about 22 percent behind.
And one of the reasons for-our success was the participation of every school in town, with
students like these from Uplands Elementary School who walked from Halliwell and
