[homeles_ot-l] Notice of Memorial - for street involved "Dee" - Sun. Sept 14, 2008 7pm - Human R

[Julie Tousignant]

Hi, 

I do not know this young woman and I am sad to hear of her early death.  

I am also somewhat upset with this email's last paragraph...  Sounds like this unfortunate incident is quite recent and it sounds like it is too early to start pointing fingers. 

When the time is more appropriate, I would be interested to know of the factors which led to this event in order to work on prevention.

Did you or do you live on the streets? Did you know a young woman named Dee? She was also in attendance at the Homeless Action Strike in Ottawa.
 
I will send a PDF flyer soon, for posting at various locations and community centres, but Dee has unfortunately passed away at the age of just 20. There will be a memorial for her at the Human Rights Monument in Ottawa, Sunday the 14th of September at 7pm.
 
The poster will have the following words on it and it will have her picture as well. This is more of a Notice of a pending message to the list.
 
The words will say something similar to this
 
Several people will speak about what happened and what action will be taken in connection with the Children's Aid Societies which are responsible for her suicide to see to it that no other young lives are ended senselessly
The poster will be posted to this list when posted. SincerelyJohn Dunn Executive DirectorThe Foster Care Council of Canada http://www.afterfostercare.ca
