Nice (sort of) Elvis sighting ...

[Canskater]

Was driving to work today along 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill / Markham when one of those York Region mini-buses which transport the handicapped / elderly stopped beside me at a stop light. In large lettering on the side of the van was the following statement: "This service made possible by Elvis Stoijko".

Wow

thiswas part of the richmond hill gala money that was collected last year..
he seemed to be thrilled. had no idea his name would be on the van

Where is that Richmond Hill (asks a dumb European)?

And when was that gala? Elvis was the headliner? Who else was there?
Ok - I don't know anything about it, could you say more?

And another thing - is that unusual or very common that money from galas goes to charities?

elvis lived inrichmond hill ontario which is just north of toronto.
as a charity event elvis offered to headline their skating show...
he did 2 shows, (matinee and evening)... tickets were sold...
then there was also a dinner and a meet and greet that you bought
tickets to......
there was one last year and the year before...and i think one the year before that too.
none was held this year (2002) because elvis did the very long coi summer tour...
