‘Write me soon. Stay safe’: A story of Canada’s opioid crisis, told in letters from prison - The Globe and Mail

The overdose epidemic that has swept across Canada is killing an average of 11 people a day. Ex-prisoners are especially vulnerable. If they don't get treatment or help, a shocking number overdose and die. One Ontario study concluded they face a risk of fatal overdose 56 times that of the general population in the first two weeks after being released. Mr. Kell had high hopes for Mr. Daniels, too, and was working on getting him a place at the Booth centre. "I think you'll like it," he wrote. "Miss you bro – get your ass up here. We'll talk then. Hurry up!!" On March 15, he wrote again, telling Mr. Daniels, "it's a good go up here and the city is pretty. There's lots of help for guys who want it." On March 24, he said was going to meetings every day, taking classes and reading a lot. "I won't lie," he said, "there are some bad days too." He was having thoughts of using drugs again, but "starting to see reasons not to use." He was making friends who liked him for what he was, "kind of like you and me – like how we respect each other and like each other for no fake reasons."

Catholic) By Agnieszka Ruck • Catholic News Service • Posted March 27, 2019 DELTA, British Columbia (CNS) — A few years ago, Deacon Dileep Athaide could never have guessed he’d become a frequent visitor on the immense coal and container ships dotting the horizon in Delta and Vancouver. Yet nearly every day, he finds himself donning a hard hat, reflective vest and steel-toed boots, chatting with security guards who recognize his white collar and climbing high ladders into cargo ships as a chaplain to seafarers. “It’s only three years that I’ve been doing this, but it feels like 10 years — in a good way,” Deacon Athaide, 69, told The B.C. Catholic, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Vancouver, while on board a Japanese coal carrier at Westshore Terminals in Delta. The two dozen crew members on this ship are from the Philippines...

A Celebration Of Life: Bruce Wilkie - PuslinchToday

His interests outside of academia included running, photography, skiing and perhaps most significantly, racing his vintage Alfa Romeos, the latter hobby being avidly embraced by his wife Dorothy as well. The pair spent untold hours travelling to racetracks in the US to pursue their passion. Given the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease in 2007, Bruce defiantly continued both his research and working on his beloved acreage in Puslinch up until his death. Following Bruce's wishes, there will be no funeral. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 519-822-0051 or www.wallcustance.com. In lieu of flowers, donations could be directed to Parkinson Canada or a charity of your choice. A tree will be planted in memory of Bruce N. H. Wilkie in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest, University of Guelph Arboretum.
