Dear Editor,

I would like to congratulate Mark Blundell on receiving the Diamond Jubilee Award. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of that award. Mark has been very active in the community of Pemberton. He works very hard for this community and is generous with his time and makes many donations.

Mark was very instrumental in the raising of funds for the Pemberton Dragon Boat Teams. He has always championed the 4H Club and supported their many activities. He has been an active member of the Pemberton Legion and a member of the Lion’s club.

Mark and his wife Carolyn have privately helped many families and individuals in the valley, never seeking recognition, but helping others because they are kind individuals.

Mark has always wanted the best for Pemberton and has been involved in many ways. He is past president of the Pemberton Chamber of Commerce and still works very hard with them. He is a past councillor for the Village of Pemberton and is the Alternate Director for Susie Gimse at the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. He is the present chair of the Pemberton Health Society.

Pemberton and District are indeed fortunate to have Mark and Carolyn Blundell as business owners and residents. They quietly go about helping people and working for the betterment of the community.

Congratulations Mark. It is a well deserved award.

Elinor Warner
