Remembering Pat Kelln 1954-2017
Longtime activist Pat Kelln pictured above at Vancouver's Shoe Memorial, which she founded in 2002. Pat once told a reporter she started the memorial when she was tired of hearing more about the perpetrators in the media than the women who were killed. Pat was a tireless advocate for women with disAbilities, a strong voice for Pacific DAWN and a member of the CCWS Provincial Working Group.
On February 8th, CCWS Regional Coordinator Gail Edinger and disAbilities advocate Jewelles Smith appeared on Co-Op Radio's Soap Box show to share their memories of Pat. You can listen to the program through
Co-Op Radio's Archives. Look for the Soap Box edition that aired at 1 p.m. on February 9, 2017.
Please look for a fuller remembrance of Pat by Jewelles Smith in EVA BC's Spring Edition newsletter.
