Car buffs are invited to a special Weekend of Wheels this weekend to help raise funds for important Centennial secondary school projects.
On Friday, June 1, the second annual Show and Shine will take place at the Coquitlam high school in the student parking lot off Winslow Street from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
This is a family-friendly event to raise funds for the Geoff McElgunn Automotive Scholarship Award to support students pursuing automotive careers.
The public is invited to view the vehicles and enthusiasts with cars to showcase can do so for $15 and by emailing Jacquie Hutchins at [email protected].
McElgunn retired last year after teaching auto mechanics and mentoring students at Centennial for 35 years.
DRIVE ONE
Then, on Sunday, June 3, Centennial's After Grad 2012 will partner with Metro Ford to host a Ford Canada Drive One event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This will be an opportunity for drivers with a valid drivers' license to test drive a new Ford vehicle and try the new MyFord Touch in-car, voice-activated technology and see how the new "Active Park Assist" works to parallel park.
For every qualifying test drive (one per household, drivers must be 18 years or older), Ford Canada will donate $20 to Centennial's Dry After Grad.
The test drives will take place in the school parking lot off Winslow Avenue, across from Coquitlam Farmer's Market and Dogwood Pavilion.
