Now the government is set to hold a memorial service for him, which will include religious components by reverend Dr. Keith Howard, musical interludes, and words of remembrance.

The service will take place on December 15 at the Q Centre in Colwood, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Details on how the public can attend the service will be revealed in the coming days.
