It is with deep sadness that we mark the passing of Rhonda Larrabee, Chief of the Qayqayt New Westminster Indian Band.

Rhonda was a courageous and determined leader who fought tirelessly for her Band’s recognition and rightful place in Canada. Her persistence, dignity, and strength ensured that the Qayqayt people’s history and rights were no longer ignored.

She represented Indigenous peoples in New Westminster with grace and clarity, speaking at city events, celebrations, and gatherings to remind us of the true history of this land and the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Rhonda never missed an opportunity to educate, to advocate, and to ensure that the voices of her community were heard. She was invited and spoke at events at Century House.

Our community is better because of her leadership. Her work advanced understanding, respect, and reconciliation in meaningful ways, and we will remain forever grateful for her contributions.

Whenever you met Rhonda she greeted you with a smile. Condolences to her partner Ryan and her family. May her memory continue to guide us toward a more honest and compassionate future.

Seniors Safe City Town Hall

Friday June 6 at 6 - 8:30

A workable community policing strategy, an effective emergency services response, accessible and safe public spaces and safe sidewalks are just some of the elements that are necessary to a well managed, orderly and safe community.

The Century House T4C group is organizing a Safe City for Seniors Town Hall to be held during this June’s Seniors Week. Guest speakers, at the time of writing, will include the NWPD’s Chief Constable, Paul Hyland and Fire Chief Erin Williams, with more to come. They will speak to how they include seniors in their operational planning and if there are gaps how they plan to fill them. There will also be a moderated Question and Answer session.

The Time 4 Change group is a partnership between Century House and the City and its focus is on seniors and advocacy. Our last event was sold out so register early (May 1 or later) at the Front Desk or by calling 604-519-1066. It’s free … program 231196
