The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
Unfortunately,
on
the
weekend,
the
community
of
Kamloops,
Province
and
Country
lost
Pat
was
a
true
Community
icon
in
Kamloops
and
and
a
lot
of
times.
We
say
that
about
people,
but
Pat
really
was.
It
was
not
just
her
elected
work
that
she
did
and
on
behalf
of
people
for
over
30
years
in
Kamloops
she
was
a
great
Community
Advocate
and
she
was
a
true
Mentor,
not
just
the
politicians,
but
by
people
trying
to
get
ahead
in
life.
People
that
needed
help,
people
that
needed
advice.
Pat
was
always
there.
A
You
always
knew
where
you
stood
with
Pat.
She
didn't
always
agree
with
you.
She
certainly
didn't
always
agree
with
me,
but
she
always
made
sure
that
you
were
listened
to
and
then
she
stuck
by
her
convictions,
if
you
could
convince
her.
Otherwise
you
were
on
a
winning
side
of
an
argument.
More
often
than
not
around
the
rest
of
the
council
table,
unfortunately,
as
news
of
Pat's
passing
was
becoming
more
broadly
known
in
the
in
the
campus
community.
A
We
discovered
that,
on
the
same
day,
at
the
same
age,
we
also
lost
a
former
long-serving
mayor
of
Kamloops
Cliff
Branch
Farm
Cliff
had
served
eight
years
as
the
mayor.
Pat
was
a
counselor
with
them.
Then
they
also
served
on
Council
together
in
the
80s.
In
fact,
my
father
was
on
some
of
those
councils
with
those
two
Cliff
again
was
a
tireless
advocate
for
our
community.
They
were
both
made
Freeman
of
the
city
in
various
stages
of
their
post
political
lives.
They
both
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
in
our
communities.
A
Again,
Cliff
was
somebody
that
really
stuck
by
the
courage
of
his
convictions.
It
didn't
matter
what
your
your
point
of
view
was
as
long
as
you
could
be
sure
that
you'd
thought
it
through
always
somebody
that
was
very
strong
in
his
faith
and
his
religion.
Cliff
lived
every
day
the
same
way
in
terms
of
that
so
on
behalf
of
of
the
countless
broader
Kamloops
community
and
this
chamber,
I
just
send
our
condolence
deepest
condolences
to
all
of
their
families
in
the
Kamloops
area.
