Dear Mayor and Council,

_....' MAN IN MOTION',..,. THERMAL DRIVE.....COQUITLAM.....

On May 22nd 1987... the 'MAN IN MOTION'.... RICK HANSEN
Passed this point on the final day of his MARATHON
ACHIEVEMENT.... Thermal Drive was one of the steepest grades
encountered in his ROUND THE WORLD WHEFLCHAIR ODYSSEY,

Thig message igs on a sign located at the intersection of
Thermal, Mohawk and Moray, where Coquitlam meets Port Moody.

Has it really been five years since we all CHEERED and CRIER
as we witnessed Rick wheel his way into our LIVES and into

the WORLD'S HISTORY BOOK 7?

As long as the good lord continues to provide me with the air
that I breath, I will never.... never..,. ever.... forget
that day... May 22nd, 1987... as I watched with absolute
amazement and admiration, that young RICK HANSEN, wheeling
his way up ‘Thermal Mountain'.... with a smile on his face,
WoW fitit

With the above considered, I believe that it would he
appropriate to declare May 22nd, _1992 as "RICK HANSEN DAY“

in the... District of Coquitlam... the Village of Anmore...
the Village of Belcarra... the City of Port Moody... and in

the City of Port Coquitlam.

Moved by... Seconded by... All In Favor....

Respectfully,

Walter Ohirko
