As part of his cross-country relay celebrations to mark 25 years since he toured the world, Rick Hansen will take on the steepest grade of his Canadian journey: Thermal Drive in Coquitlam.
Hansen, who in 1987 said the hill was one of the most challenging parts of his global trek, will repeat the climb at the Port Moody base on Friday, May 18 at 10:15 a.m. And he will be accompanied by five students from the Coquitlam school district, who are designated medal bearers.
