Family, ATB and colleagues to pay tribute to AUPE member in memorial service

CALGARY – A mass will be held on Dec. 10 to commemorate the life of Sylvia Vega, a member of Local 020 who died last December when a car crashed through the wall of the Calgary bank in which she worked.

Sylvia’s family and friends will honour the memory of their daughter and sister with two masses, one in Calgary and a second service in their home of Bogota, Colombia.

The Calgary mass is scheduled to take place at the Cathedral of St. Mary’s, 219 18 Ave. SW, from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

ATB Financial will close its Country Hills Blvd. Branch, where the accident took place, on Dec. 10 in honour of Sylvia, said Local 020 Chair Linda Kneeshaw.

“We still think about her, it’s a day we will never forget,” Kneeshaw said.

German Vega, Sylvia’s brother, encouraged Sylvia’s friends and coworkers to attend the Dec. 10 service in Calgary.
