Games Shirts Fridays
Proclaimed at Capilano College

F ridays at Capilano College could
take on a whole new look with the
proclamation of Games Shirts Fridays
in support of the North Vancouver 1996
B.C. Winter Games. Capilano College
is one of the four key community
partners in the Games and the host site
for many Games activities.

The proceeds from the sale of the
Games commemorative apparel will
benefit the North Vancouver Winter
Games Legacy Fund. This fund will
remain in the community to support
sport, recreation and youth programs.
“We are trying to encourage people to
purchase their Games attire before the
Games begin, because that is when the
fund will benefit most,” says Marleen
Morris, director of Public Relations at
Capilano College and director of

Promotions for the Games. “Our contract
with the supplier is such that once the
Games begin, a greater percentage of the
proceeds will be retained by the supplier
itself.”

A wide selection of merchandise is
available from t-shirts, sweatshirts and
shorts, to golf shirts, denim shirts and
baseball caps. Commemorative apparel
will be sold on campus from Monday to
Thursday at the south Student Union
office next to the Cap Corner Store.
Proceeds will go towards the recycling
program. Other retail outlets include the
Bay at Park Royal, North Vancouver
RecCentres, North or West Vancouver real
estate offices and the B.C. Winter Games
Office at #207-123 East 15th Street, North
Vancouver. Games volunteers will receive
a 10 per cent discount on all purchases.

The Games will take place February
22 to 25, 1996. More than 2,800 athletes,
coaches and managers from around the
province will compete in 30 sporting
events, making these the largest Winter
Games ever.

Volunteers Still Needed

The skills and energy of roughly 3,500
volunteers are key to ensuring the success
of the North Vancouver Winter Games.

With so many opportunities available,
there is something for everyone. This is a
great way to meet new people and make
new friends.

Be a part of the action and get
involved! Register at the Games office at
any North Vancouver recCentre. For
