Unite Here! Member in Tragic Auto Crash


Unite Here! Local 40 member Rosane (Rosie) Perreault, a housekeeper at the Coast Bastion and her husband Lyle Hall, a meatcutter at Thrifty Foods, were both killed when a southbound VIA Rail train smashed into their car at Dorman Rd in Nanaimo October 14. Their son, Andrew, 14 who was in the rear seat, is in critical condition at Children's Hospital in Vancouver. They are also survived by Shawn, 16 and another brother at college in the United States.

Members of Unite Here! Local 40 began their rally on Friday with a brief eulogy and a minute of silence by all attending. A private family memorial service for Perreault and Hall will be held on Oct. 24 in Nanaimo at Sands Funeral Chapel at 1:00 pm.
