It was with great sadness that I learned of the loss of one of our greatest citizens – Bill Reid.
I knew Bill for more than 30 years, and worked with him often during my time with the Surrey Chamber of Commerce, Surrey Crime Prevention Society, Rotary Club of Surrey and as the MLA for Surrey-Tynehead for the past 12 years.
I can say without reservation that Bill Reid was one of the finest ambassadors of our city, our province and our country.
Bill was exceptional in his tireless efforts to promote Surrey and Cloverdale, and the rest of the Fraser Valley.
He has left a legacy of giving back to the community that will be remembered for generations.
Bill never shied away from work, and during his time was not only a provincial and local politician, but contributed significantly through his leadership roles on Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale chambers of commerce.
He was one of our finest ambassadors, and while he will be missed by so many, the legacy of his community work will live on indefinitely.
