Congratulations to Armond and Rita Tessier, a local couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on May 15.
Armond and Rita have lived in the same Burnaby house for 58 years, according to Juliette Singh, who knows the two through her in-laws.
“They are such a lovely couple, and they both still love each other like no one’s business,” she wrote in an email to the NOW.
MS raises funds
The MS Society raised more than $141,000 with the annual Scotiabank MS Walk. The event took place on April 13 in Vancouver, and more than 400 people participated by collecting pledges for the walk. Money raised goes towards research and support programs for people with multiple sclerosis, an incurable disease with no known cause or cure.
The MS Society of Canada, B.C. and Yukon Division, is based in Burnaby but helps people throughout the province and in the Yukon.
