Mr. Speaker, it is with profound regret that I rise to acknowledge the sudden passing of a city councillor who served two British Columbia communities.
Bill Stewart served the city of Port Coquitlam as an alderman from 1983 to 1994. Having moved to the East Kootenays to pursue a new career opportunity, he was elected in 1996 to serve in the city of Kimberley as a city councillor.
Bill Stewart died suddenly in hospital on Sunday, May 16. He is survived by his wife, Alma, a son and a daughter. Bill Stewart served the public well. He will be missed.
