Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
sorry
Cloverdale
I,
thank
you.
Mr
speaker,
Carl
Featherstone
was
a
paid
on
call
firefighter
with
the
Lake
Country
fire
department
when
he
passed
away.
October
11
2020
due
to
a
heart
attack
as
a
result
of
his
work
as
a
firefighter
last
month
on
September
11th
I,
attended
the
Canadian
Fallen
Firefighter
Memorial,
where
family
members
current
and
former
Lake
Country
firefighters
were
there
to
see
Carl's
name
unveiled
on
the
Canadian
firefighter
wall.
A
Fire
department,
members
from
Kelowna
Kamloops
Lake
Country
made
the
journey
to
Ottawa
to
be
there
to
support
the
family
during
this
extremely
emotional
event.
Joining
Carl's
partner
Brianna,
where
Carl's
parents,
Lynn
and
Bill,
along
with
her
brother
Ben
I,
had
assisted
Brianna
with
the
navigation
through
worksafebc
and
the
public
safety
officer
benefit
process,
and
only
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
a
few
of
the
great
stories
about
Carl,
along
with
with
his
family
12.
A
Other
co-workers
shared
the
Carl
stories
with
me
that
weekend,
those
that
were
in
attendance
were
Lake
country's
fire
chief
Darren
Lee,
deputy
chief
Penner
lieutenants
Bloomer
and
Gregory
firefighters,
Canada,
drink
water,
matsuda
bald,
who
were
joined
by
Lake
Country
alumni
firefighter
young.
Now,
in
kanloops,
firefighter
turcott
now
in
Kelowna
and
DC
from
Kelowna
Carl
was
a
woodworker
extraordinaire
tables
cabinets,
fireplace
mantels.
A
Those
are
some
of
the
things
that
people
spoke
of
and
some
of
those
things
are
in
a
fire
hall
to
be
preserved
forever
more
so
the
talk
was
of
what
his
dedication
to
his
family
and
to
his
community.
It
takes
a
certain
kind
of
person
to
jump
out
of
bed
in
the
middle
of
a
night
to
drive
to
a
fire
station
to
respond
to
a
person
in
need
to
Carl's,
five-year-old
son
James
and
their
four-year-old
daughter,
Natalie.
A
Your
father
was
one
of
a
kind,
talented,
caring
and
kind
qualities
to
be
reflected
on
as
often
as
possible.
I
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
shake
your
dad's
hand
and
say
thank
you
for
everything
you
did,
but
I
will
cherish.
The
stories
passed
on
to
me
from
those
I
met
that
weekend.
Those
who
respected
and
carried
cared
for
Carl
the
most.
