| City Council has an idea how best to commemorate the life of Odd Eidsvike who passed away one year ago |
The proposal to be discussed will see a recommendation that the woodland area located behind the site of the old Westview School be dedicated to him, a process that will take place jointly with the Rotary Club or Prince Rupert.
Should they move forward with the proposal Council may arrange at a later date to have a plaque or sign put in place at the entry way to the parklands to offer a salute to the long time community leader.
Mr. Edsvik had a lengthy period of engagement on civic matters both as a serving councillor as well as through a number of other positions and board memberships as well as his long time participation with the Rotary Club of Prince Rupert and Hecate Strait Rotary club of which he was a charter member.
He also had strong ties to the North Coast fishing fleet both as a commercial fisherman and later through his work as a chartered accountant both in Prince Rupert and in Richmond.
His passing on June 12th of last year was noted with sadness and thanks for a lifetime of service to the community by many across the region.
