Elders visit Burnaby
A Burnaby business received a royal visit last month.
James and Dinah Lulua, King and Queen of the B.C. Elders Gathering and members of the Xeni Gwet’in First Nations, stopped by Coastal Ford in Burnaby last month to pick up a 2016 Ford Explorer. The local dealership donated the vehicle to the pair to use while they tour British Columbia, drumming up excitement in anticipation of the 40th annual B.C. Elders Gathering, noted a press release from the dealership.
The donation is part of Coastal Ford Burnaby’s charitable work in the community, led by Lindsay Maingot with the dealership’s First Nations finance team.
This year’s elders’ gathering is set to take place from July 11 to 14 in Williams Lake. For more information on the gathering, visit www.eldersgathering.ca.
