MPS Hockey Cup at North Shore Winter Club

May 3, 2008

By Catherine "Cat" Barr

The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print.

 

Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) is a rare genetic disorder that next to no one had heard of until Kirsten and Todd Harkins came along. When their young son Nicklas was diagnosed some years ago, they put their minds to work to find help and hope for this devastating disease. The MPS Cup Fantasy Hockey Game and Gala was born and this year alone, they raised over $150,000 for this very worthwhile cause.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
