THE HONOURABLE LAURIER LUCIEN LAPIERRE

I was graced with the companionship of Laurier when I moved to Britannia Beach in November 1984. It led to a wonderful friendship as Laurier sparked the activism which led not only to the remediation of "Canada's worst point source of mineral contamination" but eventually into securing affordable community housing, which unfortunately Laurier never came to benefit from. His lovely manager's home was purchased by my brother Ron. We will all be eternally grateful to a loving and kind...

I am saddened by the news that my fair friend, Laurier LaPierre has passed away. We laughed a lot and shared many tears during the years he spent with us as our good neighbour in Britannia Beach, B.C.
A passionate historian and Canadian, Laurier supported our struggling community and the Britannia Mine Museum in many ways. He was our friend and neighbour. He served as President for the Britannia Beach Community Association and was a member of the Board of Directors for the Britannia Beach...

Harvey: Bob and I are thinking of you and the sad loss of your loving partner at this time. Laurier was a unique person, so full of life. Have some wonderful photos of the two of you at AJ's Bat Mitzvah which I will send to you. May his memory remain in all our hearts and minds as a blessed person.
Sincerely, Arleen and Bob Auerbach

So sorry to hear of Laurier's passing. What an honour it was to have him at the National Historica Fair in Halifax in 2006. Our great nation will certainly miss Laurier LaPierre, a great Canadian whose passion for Canadian heritage was evident in his contented smile as he watched children carry out Historica Activities. His contribution and support from coast to coast was a stronghold for the program. Laurier seemed so satisfied and confident that the wonderful historic stories would live...

My father was a journalist and always held Mr. Lapierre in very high regard. He will be missed.

What a wonderful impact he had on all Canadian lives. While sadddened by this loss I will always remember his strength of spirit and his joyful personality.

We are all enriched because of this unabashed and fiercely proud Canadian who believed in positive, collegial and progressive Canadian values.

Harvey,

We were very sorry to hear about Laurier. He was a wonderful and interesting person, and we enjoyed the evenings that we spent together very much. We are in Florida right now, however, Mark is staying on here and I'll be back in Ottawa next week, so I will se you at the visitation on the 11th. We're thinking of you.

Blair and Mark
