Velma Jean Davies is the daughter of Garda and Ebenezer Sutherland. She grew up in Peguis with her seven siblings:  twin Rick, Randy, Darlene, Shirley, twins Fern & Ray and baby sister Pearl. She was born in the local hospital on the reserve and enjoyed helping her grandmother, Pearl Williams, and mother around the home.

She married and had two children, Glennis and John, with Glen Bird Jr.  In 1999, she laid to rest her son who had been missing for five months, he was 22 years old at the time of his disappearance. Velma drew strength from family, friends, and her strong  faith in God. Today, Velma enjoys spending time with her two grandchildren, Chloe and Colton, who live in Winnipeg with daughter Glennis and son-in-law Rick Bushie.

Velma moved to BC in the early eighties and remarried. She currently lives with her husband, Bob, in Abbotsford and  her daughter Rachel and husband Shane live close enough by to make it over for holiday dinners, which she loves hosting. “Vel” as she is often referred to as,  enjoys giving her time and lending a helping hand to family and friends.   

She has worked at Zellers, for the past twenty years this coming April, and has received the opportunity through work to participate as an Official Torch Bearer in the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Velma was selected after she submitted a 150 word essay which highlighted her as First Nations woman from Peguis and a brief history between the  Hudson’s Bay Company and First Nations people.

January 26th Velma will be walking the torch somewhere between Kelowna and Revelstoke BC. The location and time have yet to be announced, however,  three to four weeks prior she will receive her Official Olympic Wear and exact location and time. Family and friends are excited for her and wish her well!
