Still hurting from losing such a positive force in our world. John Horgan was a truly good guy who did so much for the province and many citizen groups like those who loved sport and it’s impact! @CanadaSevens @RugbyCanada @bcplace @SportHostingVan @victoriavisitor
I'm incredibly grateful for the leadership of John Horgan and his passion for sport to connect with community. This week as we prepare to host the Grey Cup, it's John's legacy that gave the nod, so I'll proudly wear my orange and cheers to an amazing team BC champion 🧡Thankyou🕊️
