I AM AN OUTDOOR AND INDOOR SPORTS
ENTHUSIAST, WHO BACKPACKED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. I SKIED AT WHISTLER AND BLACKCOMB WEEKLY. BRUCE BIKED, HIKED, TREKKED. A TENNIS PLAYER, CURLER, HOCKEY PLAYER. WE ALL STARTED HOCKEY AT A YOUNG AGE GROWING UP IN A SMALL TOWN SASKATCHEWAN. BRUCE EVENTUALLY PLAYED TWO GAMES AGAINST THE NOTRE DAME HOUNDS, AT WILCOX SASKATCHEWAN. I PLAYED FOOTBALL AS A TIGHT-END AND GUARD. BRUCE WAS ONCE A SCRATCH GOLFER FOR A COUPLE OF ROUNDS WHEN HE WAS IN HIS THIRTIES. FROM HIS HOME IN SEMIAHMOO, THAT WAS JUST MINUTES FROM THE US-CANADIAN BORDER. I STEADILY GOLFED HAZELMERE, PEACE PORTAL AND NICO WYNDE WAS MY PRACTICE COURSE. I FISHED THE LITTLE CAMBELL RIVER, CATCHING MY LIMIT OF COHOE SALMON. When I LIVED ON EAST PENDER STREET IN VANCOUVER, I HAD A 17 FT PETERBOROUGH BOAT. I WAS AN AVID WATER SKIER. I FISHED SOLO MANY TIMES. I WOULD GO UP INDIAN ARM AND CATCH COHOE SALMON USUALLY BY THE BC HYDRO STATION. MANY TRIPS BY THE BC FERRIE TERMINAL BY TSAWWASSEN, WHERE I WOULD USUALLY GET DOUBLE HEADERS. I TOOK MY PETERBOROUGH ON MANY LAKES IN MANY DIFFERENT REGIONS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. I WAS AN AVID SAILOR, AS I SAILED A 26 FT THUNDERBIRD SAILBOAT USUALLY AROUND BOWEN ISLAND. I SAILED OUT OF THUNDERBIRD MARINA IN WEST VANCOUVER. I VERY PROUDLY OWNED A CLASSIC YELLOW 16 FT FRONTIERSMAN CANOE THAT WAS MODIFIED FOR SOLO CANOEING. THE CANOE GAVE ME ULTIMATE PLEASURE OF ADVENTURE, AND I LOVED FISHING OUT OF IT. MY WIFE AND I WOULD GO ON EXCURSIONS WITH GOOD FRIENDS THAT INCLUDED PORTAGES!
