My
condolences go out to all defenders of Human Rights, women’s rights, social activists, Friends and Family
of June Callwood
Please accept
my deepest and warmest sympathy for the immeasurable loss. The loss of June Callwood, the
remarkable journalist, writer, social activist and defender of women’s rights
and gay’s rights, will have an eminent
effect on the human rights movement. The Secular movement has certainly lost
one of its passionate activists.
June Callwood
appreciated life immensely and through her work and the structure of various
organizations and campaigns, she managed to touch the lives of many people. She
was directly involved in founding in PEN Canada, the Canadian Civil Liberties
Foundation, Casey House the Toronto AID’s hospice, Digger House hostels for homeless youth,, Nellie’s Hostel shelter for abused women
and continued to be active on the Campaign to end Child Poverty. Her active
role in the International Campaign against
June Callwood died
peacefully on
It is with
sorrow that we say good bye to June Callwood; however, with great enthusiasm that we
remember her.
