Council agreeing to Michael Folino's request the city fly the Team Ryker flag over City Hall and to arrange for a fire truck to escort him from Mountain Road to his home in the Cherrywood area when he finally is released from Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Ryker has been hospitalized since last March after he suffered burns to over 80 percent of his body in a tragic accident.

Ryker is expected to be released from hospital sometime next month
