Vale Greg Mate

It is sad that we note the passing of Greg Mate.

Greg was a long term resident of Beacon Cove. He was a member of the BCNA and served on the committee and as Vice President.

Greg was a surveyor by training. His knowledge of surveying and town planning was invaluable to the community and to the Beacon Cove Neighbourhood Association.

The BCNA extends our sympathy to Greg’s wife Pam and to their family.
