NOVEMBER 27 2019 Statements Shirley Bond
A
Number
Prince
George,
Valmont,
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
she
loved
to
dance
garden
and
travel
and
she
was
a
dedicated
volunteer.
She
had
incredible
friends,
including
a
group
of
girlfriends
who
went
to
school
together
and
for
decades
they
would
meet
and
travel
and
spend
time
together.
She
had
colleagues
who
admired
and
respected
her
and
a
family
who
loved
her
and
was
proud
of
her
Ross
thorn
worked
for
the
Prince
George
and
northern
BC
construction
Association
for
48
years.
She
worked
her
way
to
the
top
of
the
organization,
eventually
becoming
its
CEO,
she
retired
in
2015.
A
Having
made
her
mark
in
a
typically
male-dominated
sector,
she
fought
to
increase
training
opportunities
in
northern
British
Columbia
and
was
a
vocal
advocate
for
her
industry
and
her
members
and
her
region.
She
loved
where
we
live.
Roz
and
her
husband
had
a
full
life
together
until
Bob
passed
away
from
cancer
in
2013
I
was
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
call
Roz
my
friend
my
supporter
and
a
hard-working
member
of
team
bond.
You
can
imagine
our
shock
when
Roz
received
a
devastating
diagnosis
of
cancer
and,
just
weeks
later,
after
a
fierce
battle
she
passed
away.
A
Ironically,
in
May
of
this
year,
Roz
was
a
key
member
of
our
Relay
for
Life
team
that
raised
money
for
cancer
research
next
year,
our
team
will
walk
in
honor
of
Roz
and
the
special
person
she
was
in
all
of
our
lives,
Thank
You
Roz,
for
your
contributions
to
our
community
and
region.
Thank
you
for
being
a
leader
and
a
difference
maker
and
for
always
stepping
up,
no
matter
how
challenging
the
task
I
appreciate
the
advice,
the
care,
and
yes,
even
the
critique
you
regularly
provided
after
watching
question
period.
