The former long-time Mayor of Wabana has passed away.
Gary Gosine served as the Mayor of Wabana for over 35 years, stepping down from the position just last year.
Gosine consistently highlighted the successes of Bell Island, emphasizing the re-opening of the mine and envisioning the island as an attractive retirement community and tourist destination.
Last year, he was awarded the 75th Anniversary of Confederation Medal at his home in Wabana by area MHA Fred Hutton.
Hutton says Gosine did everything with a “measure of determination, tenacity and respect.”
He was 67.
