Our sincerest condolences to the family, extended family, and all the Tsleil-waututh Nation for the loss of Chief Leonard George. We were very priviledged and honoured to meet him in September despite his illness to speak with him about our upcoming opera production of The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, and shared many of his wonderful early memories, participation and insights about the play with him. May the legacy of this kind and gracious soul continue to thrive.

Sincere condolences to Leonard's Family and all of His Nation!
