Remembering John Horgan

For Immediate Release

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Bridgitte Anderson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade has released the following statement:

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of John Horgan, former Premier of British Columbia. John was a dedicated public servant who devoted his life to building a better province.

He was our leader during challenging times, and he continually demonstrated a unique ability to unite diverse perspectives around a common goal. His humour and wit were infectious. He cared deeply about our collective future, and at the heart of his decisions was a determined and profound love and respect for this province.

My sincere condolences to Ellie, his entire family and countless friends and colleagues. We join all British Columbians in mourning his loss and honoring his contributions to our province. He left us too soon.”
