It was standing room at the Dze L K’ant Cultural Centre for a celebration of the life of Bill Goodacre, who died last week at the Bulkley Lodge at the age of 67.

The overriding theme of the day was Goodacre’s legacy is one of decency and respect. Speakers, from the scheduled dignitaries to extemporaneous well-wishers referred to the former Smithers town councillor and provincial MLA as “our friend Bill.”
