The HCV community lost an artist and strong fighter for social justice last month, Jade Hood of Victoria. A survivor of so much pain and suffering in her own life, once she found her voice she made it her mission to speak out honestly and forcefully on behalf of the most vulnerable in society. She never lost her humour, her creativity, or her incredible humility. Thanks, Jade, for presenting at HepCBC’s 2011 AGM, and allowing us to use your artwork on our pamphlets. Jade is the lovely lady on our homepage slideshow with the caption, “Use your creativity to develop a healthy spirit.” Create your own moment of silence to honour what Jade stood for; thanks, we’re going to miss her.
