On February 26, 2012, six members of the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department will be participating in the BC Lung Association’s Climb the Wall: The Stairclimb for Clean Air 2012.

Many people participate in this BC Lung Association fundraiser, but our team will be climbing the stairs in full fire gear with air tanks (about 50 pounds weight).  There are 48 floors to climb and a friendly time competition with other fire department teams.

The Sasamat team includes Michael Devlin, Ken Honigman, Darin MacDonald, Ali Sigariani,  Dave McCloskey and Greg Winterbottom.

If you would like to support the team with a financial contribution to the BC Lung Association, got to www.stairclimb2012.kintera.org  and search for Sasamat Fire Department.

TransLink services over Christmas and New Year’s

Extended late-night service and free rides on Dec. 31

Enhanced service for post-Christmas shoppers and extended late-night service on New Year’s Eve are two of the special transit services being offered over the Christmas/New Year’s season this year.

Friday, Dec. 23 – regular schedule on all modes except West Coast Express. Afternoon trains will leave Waterfront Station at 1, 3, 4:20, 5:30 and 6:20 p.m. and the 12:55 TrainBus is cancelled.

Saturday, Dec. 24 – all modes will run their normal Saturday schedules, although SkyTrain will provide enhanced service on the Expo/Millennium Lines for the last-minute shopping rush.

Christmas Day – since that is a Sunday, all modes will run the Sunday/Holiday schedule, although some bus routes will adjust their schedules to reflect historic Christmas Day travel patterns. You can check the TransLink Trip Planner or find a list of individual routes at http://www.translink.ca/~/media/documents/schedules_and_maps/holiday_svc/christmas%20day%20schedule%20adjustments.ashx

Boxing Day (Monday, Dec. 26) – since this is a statutory holiday, you only need a one-zone ticket for travel through all three zones.

Buses – will run on the Sunday/Holiday schedule but with enhanced service on routes serving major shopping areas.

SkyTrain – will run the Saturday morning start-and-finish times – first train leaving King George Station at 6:08 a.m., last train leaving Waterfront at 1:16 a.m. – but will run additional trains at midday to accommodate shoppers.

SeaBus – will run on the Sunday/Holiday schedule, but will extend service so that the last ferry leaves Lonsdale Quay at 1 a.m. and Waterfront at 1:22 a.m. Buses will run additional trips to meet the last SeaBus and SkyTrain trips.

West Coast Express will not run Monday, Dec. 26 or Tuesday, Dec. 27. Normal service will resume Wednesday, Dec. 28

Tuesday, Dec. 27-Friday, Dec. 30 – normal service on all modes except West Coast Express (as noted above).

Buses – will run on the Saturday schedule, but extend late-night service on certain routres. Details of those service extensions can be found at http://www.translink.ca/~/media/documents/schedules_and_maps/holiday_svc/new%20years%20eve%20additional%20bus%20service.ashx

SkyTrain and SeaBus – will run on the Saturday schedule, but will extend service one hour, so the last SkyTrain leaves Waterfront at 2:05 a.m. (Canada Line to YVR-Airport), 2:15 a.m. (to Richmond-Brighouse) and 2:16 a.m. (Expo/Millennium Lines) and the last SeaBus leaves Lonsdale Quay at 2:06 a.m. and Waterfront at 2:20 a.m.

Monday, Jan. 2 – ALL SERVICE WILL RUN ON THE USUAL WEEKDAY SCHEDULE except West Coast Express, which will not run that day at all.

Tuesday, Jan. 3 – all service will return to the normal weekday schedule.

This information is subject to change, so people should check the TransLink Trip Planner at www.translink.ca for up-to-date schedules.

We should remind people that West Coast Express will run the second of its two Santa Trains on Saturday, Dec. 17, leaving Mission at 10 a.m. and returning from Waterfront at 5 p.m. The price for a return ticket is one new, unwrapped toy, to be donated to the Christmas bureaux in the communities served by West Coast Express.

TransLink and its family wish all our customers a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2012!

Here are the ideas we have come up with:

1.  SHARE family Christmas Hamper  (We will need volunteers to come shopping for the gifts and food and others to help deliver it)
2.  For $75.00, we could send money to a local aid organisation so a pair of goats could be purchased for people in developing countries. Goats provide milk for drinking, manure for gardens, and meat for eating. Given in pairs, goats are gifts that keep on giving, since they reproduce.

Send us your suggestions, based on our ideas above, about what you think we should do with the money. We will pick the most popular ones and you can vote on them.
