Remembering Mitchell Vernon Grant

October 13, 2020

Mitchell Vernon Grant

September 4, 1987 – October 11, 2020

It is with a heavy heart that Musqueam announces the passing of Mitchell Vernon Grant. There will be a procession on reserve to create an opportunity for Musqueam to partake in the final journey for our loved one during Covid-19. The family invites community to join in this final farewell by lining up at designated spots along the procession route.

 

Procession

Wednesday, October 14, 2020, 9:30 am
Procession will start on Salish Drive (outside Musqueam Community Centre)

  • Travel north along Salish Drive
  • Right on W 51st Ave.
  • Left on Hum-lu-sum
  • Left on Si-lu Drive
  • Right back onto W 51st Ave.
  • Right back onto Salish Drive
  • Right on Thellaiwhaltun
  • Quick Left onto Crown Street
  • Left on Stautlo Avenue

Handshakes

white flowers

If you would like to offer the family a handshake or returns, this can be done during the procession. The ushers will follow behind the procession and collect envelopes along the route. Please include on envelope: name, where money will go (e.g. headstone, family etc.)

 

Saying goodbye during Covid-19

Due to Covid-19 guidelines, community will remain at designated areas and say your farewell from the curbside. We ask that everyone practice physical distancing and ensure the safety of the family in mourning. We understand how difficult this is for community, but we must remain diligent.

MIB Council and Admin acknowledge that this is not ideal, nor is it consistent with the traditional ways we come together to remember loved ones. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways we gather. We are doing our best to ensure members can still uphold cultural practices while maintaining everyone’s safety.

 

With the greatest of love and respect,
the Grant/Wilson Family
