Mayor Bruce Banman acknowledged in an interview Wednesday what the commissioners of the AHL, ECHL and WHL have already told The News – it’s highly unlikely a major junior or pro hockey team will call Abbotsford home during the 2014-15 season. “It would take extraordinary circumstances at this late juncture to be able to get any commis-

Eliminated from playoffs, the Abbotsford Heat’s five-year run in this city is now officially over, with the team moving its equipment out of the Abbotsford Centre this week. The venture proved costly for taxpayers, but how will it impact the community if Abbotsford’s 7,000-seat arena is without an anchor tenant for

Elena Halfpenny said her son Cody, 14, has improved significantly in the last year and is now able to talk, walk, and eat on his own, although he still requires some help for tasks such as getting dressed. “He walks with a bit of a limp and his left hand has been greatly affected by the strokes,” but Cody has come a long way from where he was last March, Elena said. The teen was born with a series of heart problems that resulted in several surgeries when he was a baby. His annual checkup in January 2013 revealed Continued on A4

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve just finished the first 1/3 of the year and like most years our Spring Real Estate market is in full swing. After a few slower than average years the market is starting to improve again. Listings are down overall, with sales of single family homes up year over year with strata properties still working to recover. While it has improved overall, each property is still unique and has to be looked at on its own merits. If you’d like a realistic, no obligation evaluation of your home to sell or would like a representative to expertly represent you in a purchase, draw upon my 23 years of professional, friendly and satisfying service.

Service providers have suggested ways to address homelessness in Abbotsford, including increasing detox space, providing access to affordable and supportive housing, creating an easier process for established non-profits to get tax exemptions, and creating a homeless advocate position at city hall. The suggestions came during a meeting of the city’s task force on homelessness on Tuesday, when local service providers presented their thoughts on how to address issues of homelessness, addiction and mental health in the community. Multiple service providers expressed concerns that the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee (ASDAC), a group created in 2006 to provide advice to council on addressing social issues, has not been meeting. Last June, members of ASDAC said their recommendations to council, including those on addressing homelessness, were disappearing into a void. Dorothy Henneveld, executive director of the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley and ASDAC member, said meetings of ASDAC have been suspended and the group hasn’t had an answer on whether it will move forward, which she said is disrespectful of years of work ASDAC has done. Katherine Jeffcoatt, director of communications
at the city, said the meetings have been temporarily suspended while the new general manager of planning and development, Siri Bertelsen, who joined the city in November, can get up to speed. Another suggestion for addressing homelessness was the creation of an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team, a frontline mental health program that focuses on providing outreach services to those in need. Surrey, the Tri-Cities and New Westminster are currently serviced by ACT teams. Stan Kuperis, a task force member from Fraser Health, said those projects are provided through Fraser Health with funding through the Ministry of Health. He said Fraser Health has been advocating for one in Abbotsford, but the issue is a lack of budget. Ron van Wyk, associate executive director at the Mennonite Central Committee BC, sits on the task force and is a member of ASDAC. He said that ASDAC had made that suggestion in the past, but the recommendation was not acknowledged by council. The last homeless count was conducted in 2011 and indicated that there were 117 homeless people in Abbotsford. The results of the 2014 homeless count will be released next week. The next meeting of the task force will be held on Tuesday, May 20 at 4 p.m. in room 530 at city hall.

Schools’ recess cancelled
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
Abbotsford has joined more than a dozen other B.C. school districts in cancelling recess at elementary and middle schools, citing the first phase of province-wide job action by teachers. The cancellation begins on Monday and will continue until the job action has ended, said superintendent Kevin Godden in a letter distributed to parents on Wednesday and posted on the district website. To compensate for the change, schools will begin 15 to 20 minutes later. High school schedules will not be affected. As part of their ongoing negotiations with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) initiated job action on April 23 that involves teachers not performing any duties declared non-essential by the Labour Relations Board. This includes the supervision of students outside of regularly scheduled classes. During the job action, Godden said management staff – including principals and vice-principals – have been providing this supervision.
“As job action continues, this creates a challenge for these district staff who are away from their important responsibilities for significant portions of the day,� he said. District bus transportation schedules are being adjusted to align with revised school start times. Godden said parents of elementary children who take a school bus will be contacted to confirm pickup times. He said it is anticipated that bus pickup times for middle and secondary students will not be affected. Doug Smuland, president of the Abbotsford District Teachers’ Association, stated in a letter to members that the decision to cancel recess is “not appropriate. “Management staff has done the supervision before, and they should be able to do it again, as there is no sound reason why children in Abbotsford should have to lose out on recess when most other districts have found coverage ...� he wrote. Shortly after teachers’ job action began, several school districts announced they were cancelling recess. These included Prince George, Quesnel, Prince Rupert, Central Okanagan and Bulkley Valley.

Heat generated close to $1M for non-profits From A1
even budget of $5.7 million annually. The Heat’s total shortfall between 2009 and 2014 is expected to be approximately $7.2 million once the final numbers for the 2013-14 season are tallied. In recent years, Abbotsford Centre has run an annual deficit of about $2 million (in addition to the shortfalls incurred by the Heat), with the facility’s deficit for 2013 estimated at $2.3 million. Banman downplayed the notion that the arena’s revenues would shrink in the hockey team’s absence. Part of the plan for the arena’s future is to open it up to community user groups, and Banman said the city is hearing from groups which want to rent the ice. Without the hockey team, there will also be more available dates for entertainment, he said. Asked for a detailed breakdown of the Heat’s revenues and costs as they related to the arena, the city declined, stating those numbers are held by Global Spectrum, which is under a third-party contract to manage the facility. But Katherine Jeffcoatt, the city’s director of communications, said all revenues, including concession and sponsorships, are included within the Heat’s supply fee. Several sources indicate the absence of an anchor tenant will have a wider economic impact beyond just the facility’s bottom line. In January 2011, a study presented to city council by consulting company Grant Thornton International stated the arena generated an economic impact of $24.3 million in 2010 and created the equivalent of 305 fulltime jobs. The report didn’t break down the Heat’s share of the economic spin-off, but it did note that the hockey team accounted for 70 per cent of the arena’s total attendance in that year. In a subsequent interview, Lane Sweeting, whose Fraser Valley Sports and
50/50 draws ($444,069), Heat Foundation grants for youth-focused charities ($161,693, including an estimated $60,000 in upcoming 2014 grants), and a program which allowed groups to re-sell Heat tickets as a fundraiser (potential profits of $392,770). Almost $600,000 was generated in the last two seasons, largely due to a change in the fundraiser program which saw the non-profits’ take increased from a flat $3 fee per ticket sold to approximately 50 per cent of the retail rate. Trevor Bamford, president of the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association (AMHA), said his organization netted in the neighbourhood of $25,000 annually via the Heat 50/50. That money supported development initiatives, including extra ice time for the younger age
groups, and the AMHA’s benevolent fund, which helps kids who otherwise can’t afford to play. “It’s sizeable enough that it will have an impact,” Bamford said. “We have to go to the business community and look for sponsors.” The Heat were also major supporters of SafeRide Home, a local program which provides free transportation for young people who might be impaired, bullied, or in danger. Program director Doug McKellan said that SafeRide Home, operated by faith-based organization Youth Unlimited, collected roughly $20,000 over the past four years via Heat grants and fundraisers. They put out an appeal last week, indicating that the program could be scrapped if they aren’t able to come up with funds to re-
place what came from the Heat. An average of 50 teens use the service every weekend. McKellan said he frequently took groups of at-risk kids to Heat games, and praised the hockey team’s work with non-profit groups. Banman said the impact of not having an anchor tenant next season will be “minimal” in terms of the economy and non-profits. “In the short term, we’re going to feel some pain,” he said. “But in the long term, I would expect that it will actually be better.” Part of Banman’s optimism stems from his belief it will be easier to sell naming rights to the arena without the stigma of the Heat’s unpopular public subsidies. He’s also “very confident” that the city will be able to attract an anchor tenant for 2015-16.

Entertainment group operated the Heat, said the hockey team accounted for “well over half” of the facility’s economic impact. “The economic impact (of not having an anchor tenant) is going to be quite severe,” Sweeting told The News this week. “It’s a significant amount of salaries that are gone from this marketplace.” Sweeting added that the hockey team paid about $7,000 per game to the arena to cover overhead. Based on 41 home games in 2013-14, that represents $287,000. Local non-profit groups will also be affected by the Heat’s departure. Over their five seasons in town, the Heat generated nearly $1 million for non-profits, according to figures supplied by the hockey club. That includes

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK Do you support the decision by some school districts, including Abbotsford, to cancel recess, citing teacher job action?
Recess cancelled Just another way of making the teachers look bad. In all the years my three kids went to school in Abbotsford, at no time was it the teachers’ responsibility to watch the kids at lunch, or before and after school... Shannon Smid
To answer, go to abbynews.com
These guys have their priorities dead wrong. Recess is about the kids, not about the teachers. If teachers are not supposed to be doing non-essential tasks, then hire others to monitor recess. Rebekah Peterson
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Are you surprised the living wage for the Fraser Valley has been calculated at $17.02 an hour?
The kids should not have to pay the price. I am pointing the finger at all parties, the provincial government, the school board, the BCTF ... work it out, and don’t come back to me stating we are trying and they are trying – just get the darn thing done. Negotiate. It can be worked out, if you all want it to. Wayne Busilla

Everything else gets a Spring clean;
Surgeries not being cut Some unfortunate misconceptions have been created about the reduction of surgeries across Fraser Health and I would like to clarify these inaccuracies. (Re: Fraser Health cuts surgeries, May 7 edition). Fraser Health is not cancelling surgeries due to budget. Patients who need surgery are getting their surgery. Fraser Health is working within our budget, as we should be, and acting as responsible stewards of the public funding we receive. Fraser Health is the fastest-growing region in the province. Each year, we perform more than 84,000 surgeries. Our hospitals are responsible for deciding how to manage their individual surgery budgets, and this is done by physicians who prioritize
why shouldn’t your smile?!
their patient caseloads; ensuring the patients who require immediate or urgent surgery go first. The reality is that this does mean elective, lower priority, less medically needed surgeries may occur over a slightly longer period of time. This is consistent with practice across the province. We understand how frustrating it is for our patients who are waiting for surgery, and we have been working hard with our physician partners to find innovative approaches and solutions to reduce any wait list times, and improve our efficiency and effectiveness.

letters Election can’t come soon enough Re: Abbotsford Heat payout. As a long-time realtor and real estate developer, I consider myself fairly experienced in the art of negotiation. When this agreement became public I was curious about the terms and conditions and the overall process. I discovered that once again, the way in which our mayor and council govern is unwise and dysfunctional. The mayor and council need to work together on critically important issues that affect the entire city and its finances. This is my understanding of what happened. Council and mayor gave the city manager authority to negotiate an end to the contract with the Abbotsford Heat. A maximum dollar amount of $5.5 million was set. Mistake #1. When negotiating, you never give an emissary your final number ahead of time. That number will always end up as the default number. There’s no incentive to settle for less; at the very least there should be one back and forth between buyer and seller. And, any authority should note that council and mayor have to sign off the final document. Not surprisingly, an agreement is reached in the amount of $5.5 million.

Other factors in living wage
Mayor Banman schedules a news conference (not telling council). News of the settlement, and a press conference, leaks out. The news media call councilors for a comment, and they, completely taken by surprise, deny knowing about any press conference. After the weekend, Mayor Banman lets council know about the press conference but he does not brief council on the details, or show them the final agreement. Mistake #2. It’s a pretty safe assumption that all details could not have been foreseen prior to the city manager being given authority to negotiate a deal; e.g. terms of the payment, timing of payment, when the Heat would vacate, employee compensation, communication to the public, etc. It’s mind boggling that the mayor wouldn’t deem it necessary to include his council in on all the facts and details surrounding this crucial decision on one of the most controversial events in our city’s history. Our mayor once again is showing a complete lack of ability in governing our city. And the majority of councillors are not holding him accountable. The fall election can’t come soon enough. Fred Thiessen Abbotsford
Thank you for publishing the article about the cost of a living wage in Abbotsford. There are two issues I would like to draw to your attention. I did notice that one item was missing from your basic budget. You need to put in dental care. Dentists have a monopoly in this country. While there is a fee guide, they can charge a lot more than that. Dental insurance, if one is lucky enough to have some, only covers a
small portion of dentists’ demands. It is not exaggerating to suggest that if one needs a crown or something else beyond the basic care, that the insurance cost can amount to an entire month’s income, or even several months. Your budget assumes that the person is working full-time. What happens to that budget when hours are cut? Linda Matties, Abbotsford

Driver leaves crash scene carrying case of beer

A 32-year-old Abbotsford man who allegedly drove his car through a red light and hit a minivan full of young children was witnessed crawling out of his mangled car afterwards and walking over to a fast food restaurant, with a 12-pack of beer under his arm, to order a burger and call a taxi on Tuesday. Langley RCMP confirm that they believe alcohol and speed were factors when the white Nissan sports car the Abbotsford man was driving hit the van at the intersection of 264 Street and 56 Avenue in Aldergrove, north of Highway 1, around 5:30 p.m. Reporter Evan Seal, who works with the Abbotsford News’ sister paper The Surrey Leader, said he was at the McDonald’s restaurant in the area when he heard a loud bang and saw smoke coming from the intersection.

Police investigate the scene of an accident involving an Abbotsford driver. “You could hear the kids screaming and crying. There were already people there helping. The woman driving was on the ground seizuring,” Seal said. While many witnesses were helping the kids and woman in the van, Seal watched the driver of the sports car crawl out his vehicle via the T-bar roof, and start collecting his belongings into a plastic bag. He then went back to his car, grabbed a
12-pack of beer and walked over to the fast food restaurant. The driver was limping from a compound fracture to his leg. He was later taken to hospital with broken bones, said police. “He ordered himself a meal and called himself a taxi,” Seal said. Witnesses said the driver appeared extremely impaired and seemed oblivious to the fact that a bone was

The female driver of the van was taken to hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries and released. Another witness to the crash said he was taking the highway exit to 264 Street just prior to the crash when the white Nissan passed him on the shoulder, travelling at speeds estimated up to 200 km/h.

48-year-old victim suffers numerous broken bones A 48-year-old woman is recovering from nu-
merous broken bones after being struck by
a semi-trailer unit on Highway 1 in

A $200,000 project to upgrade the Barrowtown Pump Station circuit breaker in Abbotsford, announced on Friday, will help protect residents from potential flooding. The funding is a joint investment by the federal, provincial and municipal government with each covering one-third of the funding. The funding will allow for the installation of a back-up circuit breaker at the existing Barrowtown Pump Station which will allow the city to resume operation of the pump if the existing breaker fails. “The installation of a back-up circuit breaker will provide residents with a great degree of comfort knowing that the Barrowtown facility will protect people and their property in the event of flooding,” said Darryl Plecas, MLA for Abbotsford South. This project is part of $27 million that will support a total of 26 flood mitigation projects which will help communities address existing flood concerns, and take proactive steps toward preventing flooding emergencies. Flood protection projects were selected from local government or dike authority applications that offered cost-effective solutions for areas at risk.

Tourism director Stefanson leaving Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News
CUT DOWN YOUR POWER BILL
JASON ROESSLE Abbotsford News
Tourism Abbotsford executive director Dan Stefanson is leaving Abbotsford.
The first employee of Tradex after the city purchased the trade centre at Abbotsford airport more than a decade ago is moving on. Dan Stefanson has been the executive director of Tourism Abbotsford – which operates Tradex – since 2003. He leaves later this month to take a job with Consumer Protection B.C. in Victoria. “When I first arrived, the facility was struggling,” he said. Previously, the B.C. Pavilion Corporation had owned the centre since its construction in 1991. He said one of the keys to Tradex’s success was its business model. “Although we’re a non-profit, we were directed to run it as a business,” he explained. Tourism Abbotsford has a long-term Continued on A18

But recently, while Tradex has been racking up accolades and positive news, the Abbotsford Centre (AC) across town has struggled. “The situation with [AC] is a bit interesting. The costs to build were so significant … and there’s been a hyper focus on what’s wrong with the venue and not with what’s done right,” said Stefanson. “They’re coming off three soldout shows. “I’m not saying they’re successful, but Tradex was unsuccessful for the first decade before it hit its stride. I think the best is yet to come there.” The community must come to see AC as an “opportunity and asset.” Stefanson’s last day is May 23, and he’s pleased with the state of the organization as he prepares to depart. “Tourism Abbotsford is in a good place. There’s a clear mandate and financials. The organization won’t miss a beat with my departure.”

efits from the spin-offs – the hotels, food and car rentals” and more, he said. Tradex has earned a positive reputation, said Stefanson. One of the first successes he recalls is when Abbotsford beat out Montreal and Calgary to host the U18 national volleyball championships in 2006. They were able to cram 18 courts into the building. “It was the first time we punched above our weight.” The experience impressed the organizers, and there has been a western or national championship annually at Tradex ever since. Another linchpin for Tradex’s success is the relationship between Tourism Abbotsford and the city, said Stefanson. “Our relationship with the city has been the envy of my peers. The spirit of cooperation and partnership has been here from day one. The city trusted us enough to hand us the keys to this building,” he noted.

Heat hold exit meetings, prep for move to N.Y. Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
It was, in effect, the mother of all exit meetings. On Monday, the Abbotsford Heat players – with the exception of Sven Baertschi (playing for Switzerland at the IIHF World Hockey Championship) and Kane Lafranchise (reassigned to the ECHL’s Alaska Aces) – convened at Abbotsford Centre for their year-end debrief sessions. Brad Treliving, the Calgary Flames’ freshly hired general manager, and special assistant Craig Conroy met with each player individually, as did Heat head coach Troy Ward. It was the last official team function before the players disperse for the summer, in the wake of last Friday’s 5-3 loss to the Grand Rapids Griffins which eliminated them from the Calder Cup playoffs. For the rest of the week, Ward and the Heat’s hockey operations staff will be combing through the locker room to determine which equipment belongs to the Flames, which was paid for by the Heat’s local operating group, and which of the latter items the Flames would like to purchase.

An all-star season from Chad Billins (left) and an all-rookie campaign from goalie Joni Ortio were among the highlights for the Abbotsford Heat in 2013-14. Then it’s a matter of packing up the gear for transportation to Glens Falls, N.Y., where the American Hockey League team will play next year, and the facility’s locks will be changed. And thus will end the Heat’s five-year stint in Abbotsford. “It’s sad, to be honest with you,” said Heat captain Dean Arsene. “I count myself very lucky to have played here a year, and the fact that they’re leaving, it’s disappointing. “Obviously we didn’t have the fan support, and it (the move) makes sense – the city was losing money on it. But it’s too bad that it couldn’t have lasted a little bit longer.” Goalie Joni Ortio said

MEI’s Matthew Welsh was flying high en route to a silver medal in the junior boys 110m hurdles.
Track athletes terrific at Upper Valleys Abbotsford’s high school track and field athletes excelled at home last week, as Rotary Stadium played host to the Upper Fraser Valley championships. All told, locals earned 96 medals at the zone meet, and combined for some tremendous team performances. The W.J. Mouat Hawks finished second in both the senior (200 points) and junior (207) aggregate standings, edged
in both categories by Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators. The Abby Christian Knights also excelled, finishing top-four in all three aggregate divisions – second in Grade 8 (92), third in junior (142.5) and fourth in senior (151.5). MEI Middle School was the champ in the Grade 8 category by a huge margin, racking up 144 points.

‘A great city to play in’ From A23
that saying goodbye to teammates – some for the summer, some for good – is difficult. “The amount of time we spend on the road, we see each other more than we see our wives and girlfriends,” he said. “And it’s the end of the franchise – kind of surreal, seeing these hallways and locker room for the last time. “We’ve enjoyed our time here, it’s too bad it couldn’t work out with all the financials and stuff. But it’s been a great city to play in.” Ward termed the Heat’s departure from Abbotsford a “bittersweet exit.” “Really, if you look at it in terms of winning and losing and developing players . . . this was a home run,” he said. “A lot of people will call this home for their development. “In our business, that’s special. Maybe to the general reader, what does all that mean? Well, when you move as much as we do . . . it’s always nice to go back to somewhere you can call home.” For more coverage, visit the Heat Central page at abbynews.com

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge.

New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget. Private Sale or from a Dealership? Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales

home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check. The Myth of Displacements Many new riders like to set a cap on the cc displacement they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow 750cc. And he loves it. I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally. Test Rides Private sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets. Mechanical Inspection If you’re buying used, and you are this close to making the decision, before you go to the bank and give up your savings, spend an extra $100-$200 to get a motorcycle mechanic to look at your potential purchase. Private sellers will generally ride the bike down to a location of your choice and let the mechanic work their magic. The mechanic will then let you know what things might need to be worked on in the near or distant future. If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting into. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

5 years have passed since That sad day, When the one we loved Was called away. There’s a sad but sweet Remembrance, There is a memory fond and true, There is not a day That goes by Mom, That we do not think of you.
Our family circle has been broken A link gone from our chain; But though we’re parted for a while We know we’ll meet again. Some day, we know not when, We shall meet in a better land And never part again.
Love Reg, Jim, Howard, Mike, Rob and Families
Always loved and missed Gerry & Family

Pat passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family. The love that was present in that room at Pat’s passing was a tribute to the woman who had lived a life that fulfilled the great commandment of “love one another”. Despite the ravages of ALS Pat never gave up her role of wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her husband Peter and a marriage that lasted a wonderful fiftynine years. Pat and Pete emigrated from England to Canada in 1975, they settled in BC and raised four great kids - Gary, Mark, Shelley and Patrick. They were the apple of Pat’s eye and woe betide you if you made any less than complimentary remarks about her brood! Pat is survived by her daughters-in-law Lori, Pat, Kathy and son-in-law Rick. Over the years Pat and Pete were thrilled to welcome into the family home grandchildren Adam, (Melissa), Kent, Danielle (Daniel), Lauren, Hailey (Mark) Megan, Emily. Kelsey (Brody), Miles and finally Kimberley. To round off the family the arrival of a great-granddaughter little Lily, she completed the Welford brood. Pat was thrilled to have so many to love and dote on. Others that will so miss our Pat are brother Pete (Christine) from California, sister Linda (Tony), and sisterin-law Peggy, who reside in England. All have been blessed by the seventy-nine years that the Lord gave Pat, she left an indelible mark on all the lives that she touched, she will be forever missed. A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford on Saturday, May 17th at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the ALS Society of BC.
