We would like to mark the passing of Carmen London, dear wife of long-time GCCABC leader Bertie London. She was born in Den Amstel on the West Demerara coast; before coming to Vancouver to raise her children Barbara, Carole, Beverly, and Trevor. She will be missed.
Doris Mary Joseph (1930 – 2019)
It is with great sadness that the family of Doris Mary Joseph announce her passing.
Doris was born in Guyana, South America, on June 14, 1930. She passed away peacefully, on Sunday, November 24, 2019.
She is pre-deceased by her husband John and their three daughters, Julianna, Marcia Rose and Lucyanne. She is survived by her four grandchildren, Cecil Garraway, Georgetown Guyana, Paul, Rachael and Emma Jane Campbell, England, and several great grand children.
As well, she is survived by her sister, Elsie Rempel, brother, Joseph Edwards, brother Shirland, and sisters Pearly and Yvonne.
Doris is fondly remembered as a caring older sister in a large family of 15 siblings.
Her funeral will be held at St. Edmunds Parish, 545 Mahon St, North Vancouver, BC on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 at 1 pm; viewing is 12:15 – 12:45, before memorial service.

Ole Time Lime – 2019
OLE TIME LIME – a fundraiser and social event hosted by Guyanese Canadian Cultural Association of BC (GCCABC)
In 2016, 2017, and 2018 we were able to send at least $500 each year directly to communities in Guyana to help literacy initiatives. We have been able to partner with Guyana Book Foundation to ensure that those libraries get great value for the money; it allows us to spend in Guyana and thus help the economy; and it ensures that the materials are suitable for readers in Guyana. We all think that supporting literacy initiatives is incredibly important.
This is our last chance in 2019 to add to the funds for our donation this year. If you can’t make it, we certainly will miss you, but please consider making a purchase – as a donation – and the full amount will add to the funds
Event will include: Burger, Fries/Salad and a Beer for ONLY $21.50 if you purchase in advance through Eventbrite. Tickets will be $25 at the venue, so you save a few dollars if you buy online (and it helps us plan).
The ‘burger’ option is beef, chicken, OR Veggie and the side option is fries or salad.
The beer is a light ale, or one of their house ales.
We will have music, dominos, and cards and we hope you come out and have a bite to eat and a mingle.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will help the association meet their goals.
