Flags have been lowered at Okanagan College campuses and other public post-secondary institutions and B.C. government buildings in recognition of the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Premier John Horgan issued a statement on Friday, April 9 reflecting on Prince Philip’s legacy in British Columbia, which included work he did in helping to establish the Khutzeymateen Provincial Park as a sanctuary for grizzly bears. Noted Horgan: “His legacy will also live on through The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, which he founded. This prestigious and inspirational achievement program has made a direct and real difference to thousands of young people in our province, and will continue to develop leaders of tomorrow.”
