Annette Main, who chairs the Environment Committee at Horizons Regional Council, said today that she was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Sir Archie Taiaroa.
‘His passing at a time when progress is being made with the issues he was most passionate about is extremely sad for his family, for his people and for all New Zealanders. I will always remember him as a highly principled man who was generous with his advice to me when I sought it. And sometimes when I didn’t.’
Ms Main said ‘The flag will be flying at half-mast at the Regional Council offices as a mark of respect to Sir Archie and I will be attending his tangi in Taumarunui along with other representatives of the Regional Council and the Department of Conservation’
Sir Archie Taiaroa served as a representative on the Regional Council when it was first formed. He has had an ongoing relationship with us as a tireless advocate for the establishment of meaningful partnerships between Whanganui Iwi and the Regional Council.
Ms Main said ‘Sir Archie’s passion and inspiration to us all will live on as we work together to see these come to fruition.’
