There will be a fundraiser on Saturday, March 10, to raise funds for the new Rick Hansen Monument at New World Coffee and Tea House. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., New World will serve coffee and tea by donation. All proceeds will go to the funding of the monument at the Tourism Discovery Centre. The monument will be in place in time for Hansen’s arrival March 25th as part of his 25th Anniversary Tour.
“Fundraising for this project is nearly complete, and we invite anyone interested in helping fund this monument to a hometown hero to join us at New World Coffee and Tea House for a cup of coffee or tea,” says Councillor Surinderpal Rathor. “This has always been a community project, and we’d love to build on the generous support of our donors so far.”
The monument will be unveiled Monday, March 26 at 11 a.m. at the Tourism Discovery Centre. A community celebration is planned for March 25, beginning at 4 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.
