WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANKS As we prepare this issue of WCRA News, it is early morning and we are in Squamish for day 1 of our Polar Express event. It seems hard to believe that we are writing the first issue for 2013, but the holiday season and year end are upon us. Another year has gone and passed, and with it another set of exciting times and growth for WCRA—but also another year with some ongoing challenges. However, significant progress has been made and we are on our way forward and looking ahead to an exciting 2013. Plans are now being put in place and will be reviewed with the board this month, then shared with all members. I want to send my sincere appreciation to all who have helped in any way over the past year. Without any of you—be you staff, volunteer, supplier, funder or supporter—we would not be where we are today without you. Thank you for your contribution and support. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE NOVEMBER GENERAL MEETING The November meeting was the WCRA’s annual Dinner and Awards night, held at Cheers Restaurant in North Vancouver. President Don Evans presided over the event, with 70 members and guests present. It was a delightful time, with good food and fun together. Ryan Cruickshank related a recent story where he found himself in the cab on a CN transfer freight from Thornton to Lynn Creek (see cover photo), immediately behind his three unit motive power set was FP9A WCXX 6520. Don then let everyone know that both the coach and FP9A locomotive had arrived safely in Squamish. Members of the WCRA board present and senior staff were introduced, then Jennifer Mitchell looked after calling up the tables to dinner. It was also good to see some of our members from Vancouver Island here—Colin Smith (past chair) was recognized and Jack and Bev Wallace also made it over. After dinner, the awards ceremony took place with the winners this year as follows. The winners received a framed plaque with a 2012 photo of the Heritage Park taken by Russ Grycan, framing and plaques made up as always by Paul Ohannesian .
