October 6, 2016
It is with deep sadness to inform the university community about the passing of Ts'msyen Matriarch, Mrs. Mildred Roberts (nee Bolton) – Sit’aał Gamaats, Gisbutwada (Killer Whale) from Kitsumkalum.  Mildred was a strong contributor to UNBC's Northwest Region and a strong advocate of First Nations peoples and education.  She taught Sm'algyax classes for UNBC and countless individuals have benefitted from her historical knowledge, memories, Sm'algyax language fluency, insights, and personal connections.
A memorial service will be held:
  • Friday, October 7th, 2016 at 6:30 pm. 
A funeral service will be held:
  • Saturday, October 8th, 2016 at 2:00 pm.
Both services will be held at the Kitsumkalum Community Hall, 3514 West Kalum Rd (Highway 16).
You are welcome to join her family and friends to celebrate her life .
The University has lowered its flags to half-staff in honour of Mildred and her contributions to our community.
