MAYORS 'ALL IN' FOR HOMECOMING GAME CHALLENGE
Both these mayors are former players who gave it their all on the gridiron before jumping to the big league of B.C. politics. Now Wayne Wright and Richard Stewart are willing to give the jerseys off their backs to support their high school football teams.
New Westminster's Wright challenged his Coquitlam counterpart Stewart to a friendly wager on the outcome of the annual Hyacks Football Homecoming Game on September 13, when the Hyacks will square off against the Centennial Centaurs. The mayor whose team loses the game has to wear the winner's jersey at their next council meeting.
Stewart agreed and both mayors will be at Mercer Stadium cheering their squads on. They even agreed to model their football fashion in advance. In fact, both seem reluctant to take their team colours off.
"Maybe we should suit up for the game in case they need a play brought in from the sidelines," said Stewart.
