I’m deeply saddened to hear that former Premier John Horgan has passed away. He was a champion for our province and a compassionate leader who treated everyone with respect and kindness.
On a personal level, I’m grateful to have had the chance to work with Premier Horgan and to have enjoyed a wonderful friendship. John’s leadership was integral to the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment project—an incredible legacy which will greatly improve the lives of countless British Columbians for generations to come.
On behalf of the entire Burnaby community, we send our heartfelt condolences to the Horgan family and his many friends during this difficult time.
Flags at City Hall have been lowered to half-mast as a show of respect for the former Premier.
Mike Hurley
Mayor
City of Burnaby
