The flags at Terrace City hall were lowered to half mast today, to commemorate the passing of Chief Don Roberts.
An Esteemed hereditary Chief of the Kitsumkalum First Nation, Cheif Roberts was described by his Nation in a statement as an invaluable leader, who made significant contributions to Treaty negotiations, Land Claims, and Economic Development.
Roberts will be remembered as a protector of Aboriginal Rights and Title, a bridge builder between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, and a visionary for the Kitsumkalum Peoples.
Arrangements for the memorial are still to come.
