Jim Knowles of Re/Max Commercial/Residential Property Management in Kamloops, B.C. is a volunteer ski coach for physically disabled kids.

“In April I drove a motor home to Quebec to have my skiers race in the Para Nationals Championships at Mont Sainte-Anne, Que.,” he says. “Both my skiers did well with Pramod Thapa getting a 4th in slalom behind the U.S.A. and Canadian National teams; and Mel Pemble a gold in junior giant slalom. A long drive but well worth it for the kids.”

Knowles is leasing the motor home to the Toronto 2015 Pan Am & Parapan American Games to use during the torch relay this summer.

“This is the same motor home that Rick Hansen used three years ago for his 25th anniversary tour across Canada. It had been fitted out for Rick by the same organizers of the PanAm games and was perfect for their needs. It will have a full wrap different than what you see here but keep your eyes open and say hi to the guys on the bus when it rolls through your town.”
