It is with profound sadness that we share with you the death of our Board Chair, Michael Schmitt, on Thursday, January 10th. Michael led our organization with a commitment to improving the lives of those in our community who needed homes, support and advocacy. A warm, generous man with a passion for social justice, he leaves us a wonderful legacy. In his honour, 402 Erb Street West will be named Mike’s Place. His loss is our community’s loss, we will miss him. The funeral will be held at St. Louis Catholic Church on January 17th at 11 a.m. May his memory be for a blessing.
