The Sign of Being Human is to be a Friend to the Weak announced the bold headline. In section A, there was a major profile of Jean Vanier: Close to a saint and a shorter piece on Jean's spiritual heritage through his grandmother Spiritual Pedigree linked to Thérèse. The Weekend section featured a long, reflective and very positive review of Jean's new book, Our Life Together: A Memoir in Letters and another new picture of Jean.
Important Survey on End of Life Services for People with Disabilities The Canadian Abilities Foundation (CAF) is supporting Hospice Toronto in an initiative known as the Transitions Project. The objective is to help gain a greater understanding of the needs of people with disabilities as they deal with end of life issues. Hospice Toronto is inviting people with disabilities and those who care for them from across Canada to participate in the survey. Your point of view is needed and would be very much appreciated.
