Gim Wong arrived safely back in Vancouver airport this evening.
His family met him at the airport, and he was also met by good
friends.

I talked with Sid Tan this evening, who went to meet Gim.
Sid is also the representative for the CCNC (Chinese Canadian
National Council) that has helped to sponsor this 83-year old's
motocycle ride across Canada.

Sid reported that Gim looked good, if a little tired.  
By 9pm, Sid and friends were having a bite to eat after meeting 
Gim and family, who were then safely on their way home.

Below is Sid Tan's announcement detailing Gim Wong's expected 
flight arrival.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Yo Folks. Gim Foon Wong, 83-year old intrepid cross-country 
motocyclist, arrives on Air Canada 195 
at 8:05pm today, Wednesday July 6. 

We plan to have a press briefing in a few days 
and a welcome home dinner to thank Gim and his family. 

Gim left Victoria on June 3 and is flying back to
Vancouver from Montreal. 

His goal was to arrive in Ottawa on July 1 topublicize the 
growing Chinese head tax and exclusion redress movement.
He succeeded admirably in both. 

Arrival was to be very low key but I plan to go to airport 
to welcome him back. Gim is a true Canadian hero. Take
care.  anon    Sid   ph - 604-433-6169
