Strahl Salutes the Community of 'Vancouver Bar'
Jun 13, 2011
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ottawa- Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP, Mark Strahl, stood in the House of Commons today to salute the community of Boston Bar. In support of the Vancouver Canucks the community of 800 people has, for the month of June, renamed itself, 'Vancouver Bar'.
"Mr. Speaker, my riding of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon is a vast riding that encompasses a number of small communities, including the Fraser Canyon community of Boston Bar. Boston Bar is home to about 800 people and has its history rooted in the gold rush.
"The people of Boston Bar are now enthusiastically behind the Vancouver Canucks rush for silver in the form of the Stanley Cup. Just to ensure that the good people of Boston Bar would not be accused of favouring the rival Boston Bruins, they have decided to temporarily change its name to 'Vancouver Bar' for the month of June.
"With game six of the Stanley Cup finals taking place tonight, I would invite all members of the House to join with me and with all Canadians to salute the community of 'Vancouver Bar' for taking this symbolic step to cheer on Canada's team. Go Canucks go!"
