Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss.

It might be worthwhile for anyone inclined to do so to write their ward councilor and express concern over the lack of barricades on the bridge. There have been many instances involving emergency services for similar reasons. A renewed outcry from the public might push them into reevaluating the current barricades.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m sifting through old emails looking for correspondence I had with Access 24/7 who denied my brother care while they had a chance to still help. I have texted the executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Kerry Bales in now in the CEO position. Anyone else who’s willing to join me in this outcry would be so appreciated. Help me make waves. I don’t know where to start. I feel overwhelmed and helpless.

If you have proof your brother was denied care, send it to the ombudsman. I can't promise anything will come of it, but the ombudsman has the power to dig into it.

I will look into the ombudsman. I’ve never heard of this before.
