Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
Member
for
Maple
Ridge
mission.
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
speaker
today,
I
rise
to
mourn
the
loss
of
Doug
Armour,
who
sadly
passed
away
last
week
from
cancer
Doug,
was
the
assistant
fire
chief
at
the
maple
ridge
fire
department,
I'd
like
to
extend
my
heartfelt
condolences
to
Doug's
mother
Elizabeth
Armour,
his
wife
Danica,
and
his
two
sons,
Travis
and
Kade
Doug
left
leaves
behind
a
proud
legacy
of
service.
A
He
began
as
an
on-call
firefighter
in
2001
and
six
years
later,
he
received
a
career
position
in
2015,
Doug
became
a
training
officer,
and
after
two
years
there
he
was
promoted
to
assistant
fire
chief
now,
Doug
initially
worked
with
his
brother
in
the
security
alarm
business
and
according
to
his
brother,
when
Doug
initially
had
the
opportunity
to
become
a
firefighter,
he
quit
his
job
before,
even
at
being
hired
as
a
firefighter.
In
fact,
he
spent
every
moment
he
could
at
the
fire
hall
to
demonstrate
his
commitment
to
the
position.
Now.
A
Doug
loves
sports
and
spending
time
with
his
family,
and
he
also
spent
many
many
hours
at
the
Justice
Institute
of
British
Columbia,
helping
to
train
new
recruits.
We
sleep
safe
at
night,
knowing
that
life-saving
help
is
there
when
we
need
it
and
because
of
courage
and
selfless
dedication
of
firefighters
like
Doug.
The
outpouring
of
messages
in
Maple
Ridge
this
week
are
a
testament
to
the
indelible
mark
that
Doug
left
on
our
community
and
on
behalf
of
myself
and
the
Minister
for
tourism,
arts
and
culture.
