"Most of the kids going to an event like this would not otherwise have an opportunity to be in a plane of any kind," said Lee Shepherd. a Big Brothers of Halton case worker. "So this just gives themn an idea of what it's like to be up in a plane and maybe leamn a little bit about flying." This is the 2Oth year COPA bas hosted the event and they're commemnorating the anniversary with some added giftsfor the lit- tdc brothers and sisters. Before take-off, each child participant will be armed with a dis- posable camera to document their adventurc. "Somne of the kids have been back several years running. Some even from 20 years ago are back as adults. But for a lot of them, they'rc ftirst-timers," explained John Stairs, COPA Airlift 2001 chair. "Normally, the kids comne back with a grin you can't wipe off their face for four days," he laughed. 'We've rarely had anyone get sick. t think wc've had maybe two people bai-fin the 20 years." Though Airlift is scheduled for tomorrow, it aIl depends on the weather, warned Mr. Stairs. "We insist on good weather. This is not supposed to be a white-knuckle experience. This is supposed to be fun and we want themn to come back.' Conference to address violence issues Are you concemed about violence in your neighbourhood, school or workplace?
