June passed away in April, she was 82. She was one of Canada's most celebrated authors and social advocates. She helped the homeless, dealt with issues of racism and injustice. She did much volunteer work.
In 2004, June was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and refused to undergo treatments.
I came across a last interview with her that I thought was very moving. She talks about her life, her marriage, and the fact that her cancer is terminal.
What an amazing woman.
