One of his proudest achievements,

he says, came when he initiated the an

part each year

In 1986, Ritchie returned to Van
couver, spending the last year working
for A & W Restaurants, but wanting to
return to the Interior. His wish came
true in mid-September when he accep-
ted the position of recreation coor-
dinator for the Slocan Valley

Ritchie’s interests outside of work
revolve around recreation as well
Even though he has spent most winters
cross-country skiing, he decided this
year to buy a season's pass at the
Whitewater ski- area. Once spring
