More youngsters getting into Ironworking!
This time we were with students at Imagine High School in Chilliwack.
The kids did some rebar tying and even got a little competitive with a tying contest.
Thanks to teacher Joe Taylor, who is a Red Seal Welder!

On behalf of City Council and the residents of Maple Ridge, we are saddened to hear and extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and countless fans of Jim Robson on his passing❤️ We remember Jim as a beloved hometown hero whose impact on our community and on Canadian sport will never be forgotten.

Jim grew up in Maple Ridge, attending Alexander Robinson School before moving on to Maple Ridge Junior and Senior High School. He was well known locally as an athlete, playing basketball for Maple Ridge High School and baseball for the Haney Junior team.

Jim went on to become the trusted ‘Voice of the Vancouver Canucks’ for more than 25 years, calling over 2,000 NHL games and covering Stanley Cup finals, NHL all-star games, and international competitions, including the 1984 Olympic Games 🏒 His remarkable career earned him induction into the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame, the BC Hockey Hall of Fame, and the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Maple Ridge was proud to honour Jim in 2017 by naming a section of 105 Avenue, from Lougheed Highway to the traffic circle at Tamarack Lane, as Jim Robson Way. We will always take pride in the fact that one of Canada’s most iconic voices came from Maple Ridge 🍁
