Ms. Roscovich was an acclaimed filmmaker and environmental advocate for Wild Salmon, while Mr. Hill was known for his environmental work in the Stikine watershed and staunch opposition to many of the proposed LNG projects of the Northwest.
Through the course of her statement to the House of Monday afternoon, Ms. Rice recalled the times she spent with Ms. Roscovich, first as student at the Prince Rupert campus of NWCC and later through her work as a film maker in more recent years.
Also remembered in the House on Monday was the time Ms. Rice had shared with Mr. Hill, well known for his work on environmental issues in Northwestern British Columbia.
The comments to the Legislature offered a testimony as to how the lives of both resonated strongly with the MLA, she shared her thoughts as part of the statements portion of the afternoon session.
As Ms. Rice noted in her statement, a Go Fund Me page has been created in support of Ms. Roscovich's daughter.
