This past February we suddenly lost a friend and colleague, Patty Sahota. Patty championed the Oceanfront District vision for Flavelle, and while doing so, became a dear friend to many in Port Moody. She was a great leader driven by gratitude towards British Columbia and its people, having touched thousands through her public service, her volunteering, and as a friend, family member, and mentor. Patty had a profound impact on our organization and a profound impact on the world. No words can take away the grief in our hearts, and we know all of Patty’s loved ones feel the same.
