The Town of North West River mourns the loss of Happy Valley-Goose Bay Mayor, and former MHA, John Hickey.
John had many ties to our town, through friendships and professional colleagues. It was very common for John to drive down from his Happy Valley-Goose Bay home over the years to visit North West River.
He supported our community causes and, as Mayor of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, he sought for regional cooperation with North West River at the municipal level.
He was known to call North West River "the jewel of Labrador."
John was known as a fighter for all of Labrador during his decades in municipal and provincial politics. He was also known for his big personality and his warm heart.
Today, our flags at the Town Office stand at half mast in his honour.
Our sincerest condolences go out to John's friends and family during this difficult time.
