A big loss for Maori in Whanganui a Tara with the death of Wellington City Council cultural advisor Billie Tait-Jones from Tuhoe and Te Arawa.
Mayor Justin Lester says she was a beloved colleague who gave decades of service to our city and helped foster a much greater understanding of tikanga Maori in the city.
He says she was kind, optimistic, supportive and always positive.
A tangi will be held for Billie Tait-Jones at Pipitea Marae before she is returned home to Waikaremoana.
