• A GoFundMe has been launched for Bert Firlotte, who passed away in a snowmobile accident on March 14th (link). “This GoFundMe has been created to help support Julie, Dave, Tamara, Ryan & Nico during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will go toward helping ease the financial burden that comes with such a sudden loss, allowing his loved ones including his daughter Tamara from Vancouver to get to Ontario and handle finances in Vancouver while’s she’s in Ontario. This will allow the space and time they need to grieve and remember the wonderful man Bert was. Any left over funds will be used to create a memorial at Perry Lake or on his Camp road. “
