It is with great sadness that the Village of Foremost announces the sudden passing of our Mayor and friend Lorne Buis.
Lorne has served on Council for many years and as Mayor, has provided hours of his time to serving the community of Foremost. He has given his time to many boards and committees and has travelled many miles to discuss issues with member of government, in an effort to better our Community.
He has always been supportive of the administration and staff and ready and willing to assist in any way possible.
Lorne loved the community of Foremost and wanted nothing but the best for it. He will be missed every day and will leave a huge space that will never be filled.
Our deepest condolences go out to his Family and friends and all that knew him.
