Chris Bearchell Memorial in Toronto


I'm about to leave for Toronto for tonight's memorial celebration of Chris's life and work. Appropriately it's being held from 7:30 to 10 pm in the 519 Church St. Community Centre, a place where Chris's voice was often heard during her two decade stay in the city.

Here are four web essays on her passing:

Chris Bearchell: Fierce Activist, Writer, Editor, Organizer by Andrew Sorfleet at Walnet.org.

Goodbye to a queer pioneer by Annie Smith in Xtra West.

When Chris Bearchell was Toronto's only lesbian by Susan Cole in Now Magazine.

In Memoriam by Kenn Chaplin from his weblog My journey with AIDS.

Andrew is also updating a memorial homepage in CB's section of Walnet.
