More than 250 cars and trucks poured down Johnston Road hill on Friday, May 29, 2020 for the second Cruise for Care in Port Alberni.
The first Cruise for Care at the end of April drew 150 cars, twice as many as organizers Angela Mallory and Ron Lightfoot anticipated.
Participants first drove past Tsawaayuus Rainbow Gardens seniors’ care home before cruising past onlookers at Victoria Quay, then up past Echo Village and Fir Park Village before heading to West Coast General Hospital.
The second Cruise for Care took place a week after emergency personnel conducted their final Saturday parade to honour frontline workers at the hospital.
