There are many things we all know about the Mayor, but let me add a fact or two I found in Wikipedia. On June 19, 2007 Sullivan became the first quadriplegic in history to throw out the opening pitch of a professional baseball game when he threw out the opening pitch, with the assistance of a purpose-built catapult, at the Vancouver Canadians minor league team's home opener at Nat Bailey Stadium. Sullivan has a long history with BC's Chinese community and is the first Vancouver mayor capable of speaking basic Cantonese and of reading Chinese. We salute you, Mr. Mayor!
