To family and friends from Ottawa and around the world, from Bamako, Mali to Vancouver, BC, Canada. From Zimbabwe to Ghana, and beyond. On April 22, 2023, our loving son James was taken from us far too early, if 40 is the prime of life James was just getting underway. He left, but he left behind immeasurable memories for all of us to cherish forever.

James could make us all smile, laugh, weep and at times make us cry, his memories and smiling images will help guide us through our sorrow.

This fund is in loving memory of James and is established to generate much-needed support for programs to help and assist efforts to fight the ravages of substance abuse.

Your generous contributions and all funds raised will go entirely towards programs in support of drug rehabilitation and other support programs dedicated to fighting the ravages of drug abuse in our communities.
