[Advisors] sad news

[James Van Leeuwen]

Thanks for this Marita. 

Brian was a pioneer in the most meaningful and respectable sense of the word.

I will remember him, and I will celebrate his legacy.

He was indeed a remarkable man.

James

I will miss his acute insight and perspectives grounded in the community contexts he knew so well. He was a remarkable man who had a vision of community-owned infrastructure from early days. I always wanted to be a fly on the wall in the National Broadband Taskforce discussions. He came out of that with some serious telco/gov't contributions to First Nations owned communications networks -- back in the late 1990s.
