For 23 years, local motorcycle riders have carried out a tradition of collecting gifts and food items to be donated to the Elves Club and local food banks. This year’s toy run, held Sept. 28, saw riders depart from traditional and reverse the course. They left from Claytons Heritage Market in Sechelt and rode to the Blackfish Pub in Gibsons where they left their donations of toys and food. Riders enjoyed perfect weather and an enjoyable time at the Blackfish, paying this establishment back for years of hospitality as the traditional start point. Santa led the bike riders through the streets of Sechelt and then down Highway 101, with a lot of smiles en route. See more photos in the galleries at www.coastreporter.net
