As B.C.’s premier prepared for a trade trip to Asia and for the February budget, he was also preparing for a service to honour his brother Pat.
John Horgan’s office announced Thursday morning his older brother Pat had died on Saturday Jan. 6, after a battle with lung cancer.
Horgan spoke fondly and often about Pat – including during his speech as he was being sworn-in as Premier at Government House.
In recent months Horgan would often choke up speaking about Pat.
