Drop in centre for LGBTQ youth opens Adam Kveton

The Kanata Haven Youth Centre held its first monthly drop in for LGBTQ youth and their supporters on March 5 in Glen Cairn, becoming one of the first community supports for queer and transgender people in Ottawa’s west end. In about two months the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre plans to do
the same, opening their own drop-in centre in Kanata. That news might not have meant very much to Glen Cairn resident Amanda Jetté Knox a little more than a year ago. But now, it’s a major development for her and her family. “I was thrilled,” she said. “We don’t have anything like this in the west end right now.” See YOUTH, page 6

Kanata teacher and author Caroline Pignat, second from left, points out artifacts brought up from the Empress of Ireland shipwreck shown in an exhibit at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. The porthole, seen here, was of particular interest to Pignat, who wrote an historical fiction book about the ship’s sinking. Open portholes on the ship provided a way for some small passengers to escape the quickly sinking vessel in 1914, leaving others trapped in their cabins. For the full story, see page 14.
