Ten enthusiastic Douglas College
employees and students will
speed down the Molson Indy
race track on July 22 ona bicycle
built for 10, all in the name of
student aid.

“T think I'll be laughing too hard
to pedal!” says Heather Scott of
the Douglas College Foundation.
Scott was instrumental in
bringing together the DC Riders,
who will secure pledges and then
race like crazy down the 200m
track.

Each team of consists of one
driver and nine peddlers,
propelling a bike resembling an
Indy-style race car complete with
full automobile braking and
steering systems. To get an idea of
what this year’s Indy Bike might
look like, go to

and scroll down to the bottom of

the page.

“Each team member can choose
the College endowment of their
choice to donate their money to,
and all donations to student aid
are matched by the Foundation,”
says Scott. “Everyone has to raise
a minimum of $100, but we're
hoping for way more than that.”
From the minimum $1,000 each
team must raise, Molson’s receives

$300 to cover operating costs.

Cheerleaders are welcome at the
event, which includes hospitality
and beer tents, entertainment
and more for everyone. Come
support the DC Riders on
Monday July 22 on 6pm at the
Molson Indy Racetrack (Concord
Pacific Place, Vancouver).

Pledges must be submitted to
Molson IndyFest by July 1, so
the last day to make your
pledge is Monday June 24,
2002.

Contest challenges youth to depict
nature's hiding spots

If you have family or friends between the ages of 6 and 17 who live in Burnaby, New
Westminster, Tri-Cities, Surrey, Delta and Vancouver, tell them to break out the crayons
and paint. The Nature’s Hiding Spots colouring and poster contest, sponsored by Douglas
College’s Institute of Urban Ecology, challenges children and teens to find nature in the
city, no matter how big or small. Parks and forests are teeming with nature, but nature in
the city is harder to find. It can be found in city parks, backyards or balconies and is often
hidden in unexpected places.

The contest has four categories, with a colouring sheet available for younger students.
Interested students can contact the Institute to receive a contest package.

Category 1: Ages 6-7 Colouring contest
Category 2: Ages 8-9 Colouring contest
Category 3: Ages 10-13 Poster contest
Category 4: Ages 14-17 Poster contest

The deadline for entries is June 21 and winners will be announced June 28. Winning
entries will be displayed at the College’s Amelia Douglas Gallery in August during the
Institute’s Special Places exhibit.

The rules are: entrants must live in Burnaby, New Westminster, Tri-Cities, Surrey, Delta
and Vancouver; one submission per person; however, group submissions are accepted. All
posters must be 11" x 17" (students may contact the Institute if they do not have access to
the paper size). The use of captions or phrases is optional. Entries will not be returned
unless a stamped, self-addressed envelope is provided. Please mail all submissions to Nadia
Pedley, Institute of Urban Ecology, PO Box 2503, New Westminster, BC, V3L 5B2.

For more information, contact Nadia at 604-527-5522 or 604-527-5682.
