[KWPeace-groups] Trudy Beaulne, Executive Director of the Social Development Centre, has passed away

[Bob Jonkman]

I am very sorry to relay the message that Trudy Beaulne has passed away.
Trudy was the Executive Director of the Social Development Centre, a
community leader, and a dear friend.

I first met Trudy at "Connect with TransitionsKW, SPCKW and Leadnow"
where she spoke passionately about community involvement. We met again
during the election of 2015, when she invited me to the New Hamburg
debate and several educational opportunities for candidates hosted by
the Social Planning Council of KW. Our paths crossed again and again at
social justice events, when Trudy was speaking at the Basic Income
consultation, and when I was invited to speak on election reform at a
meeting of ALIVe.

Most recently Trudy joined KWPeace at our potluck in the spring. As a
result of that meeting, Trudy started to work with some KWPeace groups
on setting up a community hub, intended to provide meeting space and to
provide guidance in getting funding for community groups.

Trudy was an inspiration to me, and taught me much about social justice.
I will miss her.

–Bob Jonkman
