SEPTEMBER 4-7—Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The Vintage Car Club of Canada’s Nanaimo Chapter and the Casual T’s are jointly hosting the 9th annual Island Challenge and The Great Canadian T Party in the Nanaimo-Qualicum Beach area on Vancouver Island B.C. We are combining this event with a celebration of the Model T Ford’s 100th anniversary with both events open to all vehicles pre-1928. For further event information and an itinerary including host hotel leads, contact Allan Clark 1-250-752-8178 at anclark03@shaw.ca. or Clay Thompson 1-250-752-9615 or e-mail (preferred) lorrclay@shaw.ca.  The events will offer in addition to the vehicle tours a distaff program. Plan to come early and stay later as the Central Island offers many other activities and spectacular destinations that a three-day tour can only touch on.
