"Not only has our region lost a community leader, a family has lost a husband, father and grandfather and this loss resonates with each of us as politicians, public servants and people who treasure our spouses, families and friends
The RDKB periodically lowers its flags to half-mast to honour a sitting member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia or a past sitting member of the local riding who has died.
