"There has to be action," Jacobs added, speaking before an audience of about 200 people Wednesday, Oct. 4 during an event hosted by the Partnership for Truth and Rec onciliation in Oakville. The event was held at Sheridan College in recognition of the National Day of Action on MMIWG. Jacobs was the lead researcher on Amnes ty International' s 2004 Stolen Sisters Report, a human rights response to discrimination and violence against Indigenous women in Canada.

Ruddy's effort attracted the attention of Tom and Gail Douglas, who walk along the lakeshore in Bronte. Douglas said he calls Ruddy `The Butterfly Man of Bronte' because he develops the annual tropical milkweed, that attracts the monarchs, from seed pods every year. They reached full bloom and provided quite a sight to see as they were covered with monarch butterflies. | Riziero Vertolli/Metroland Changing the CO Page 15 see Thousands on p.14 Lakeshore Woods DENTAL CARE 3420 R ebecca S tre e t, O a k v ille 9 0 5 .4 6 9 .6 0 7 2 w w w .lakeshorew oodsdental.com family dentistry teeth whitening emergency care digital xrays e love k i d s !
