Salt Spring Island was treated to a holiday season first on Saturday, Dec. 6 as the inaugural Trucker n’ Trade Holiday Parade made its way through Ganges, beginning and ending at Windsor Plywood on Rainbow Road.
The event raised more than $5,900 for the Canadian Cancer Society in honour of born-and-raised Salt Springer Rick Andrew, who passed away from cancer this past summer. A Rick Andrews Excavating Ltd. Truck led the parade of more than 50 decorated vehicles owned by the island’s truckers and tradespeople, which was initiated by Graham and Myriam Outerbridge of Fresco Refrigeration in partnership with the Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commerce and support from Windsor Plywood, Mouat’s Trading Co. and others.
The following photos of the event were taken for the Driftwood by Rob Lowrie.
