But Wilson told a crowd of about 120 at a Zonta Club of Guelph breakfast to commemorate International Women’s Day on Thursday that she was both surprised and inspired to learn the story of Shannen Koostachin. The 13-year-old girl, from the Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario, was fighting for the rights of children here in Canada.

“I learned through her story that there was injustice against children in our own country,” Wilson told a crowd that included Guelph Mayor Karen Farbridge and a number of local female community, academic and business leaders.

“The more I researched, the more outraged I became,” said Wilson, speaking of the plight of aboriginal children in remote reserves who have woefully inadequate schools and, in some cases, schools that are contaminated.

Koostachin, herself inspired by other children’s rights movements in this country and elsewhere, took up the cause of lobbying Ottawa to build a new school in Attawapiskat — not the shabby portables that children in the community were forced to use.

When then Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl said the government didn’t have the money to spend on a new school, Koostachin said she didn’t believe him. She started a campaign in late 2007 that spread across the country.

It took until 2009 for the community to get a commitment from the government for a new school. In June, 2010, Koostachin was killed in an automobile accident. The school has not yet been built, but is promised for 2013.

“The federal government refused to remedy the situation,” Wilson said. “Three ministers of Indian Affairs promised a school, and all three broke their promise.”

Shannen’s Dream has become one of the largest children’s rights campaigns in history, Wilson said, but few Canadians know anything about it.

“I’ve lost faith in our leaders,” said Wilson, adding political leaders and adults in general appear to have relinquished their responsibility to tackle critical issues such as poverty and global warming. But children appear ready to take up the challenge, Wilson said.

“Adults have all the excuses, but children don’t have excuses,” she said. “They only know what their hearts tell them.”

For the price of four Stealth bombers, she added, every child in the world who is not receiving an adequate education could receive one.

“I think we have a solution for the big problem of poverty, and that solution is to be found in girls,” she said. By educating and empowering the girls of the world, she said, the lives of everyone would be improved and costly and ruinous wars would end.

During the gathering, Zonta Club of Guelph committed $1,000 to http://www.fncaringsociety.com/shannensdream/Shannen’s Dream.

Navigating the Family Court System can be difficult, confusing and overwhelming. For women who have experienced abuse in their relationship, this process is intensified by safety concerns and increased complexities with processes relating to custody, access and support.

Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis is offering a new program to support women in addressing barriers as they navigate the Family Court System. The Family Court Support Program provides services to women who have experienced abuse and are currently involved or about to enter into the Family Court process.

Guelph Candlelight Vigil Commemorates

Montreal Massacre and Women killed in Ontario in 2011

December 6^th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Tuesday, December 6^th at 6:00 pm, all are invited to participate in a candlelight vigil at The Boathouse, 116 Gordon Street, Guelph to remember the 14 women murdered at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6^th, 1989. Every year, hundreds of women in Canada are seriously injured or killed at the hands of an intimate partner. In 2011, in Ontario alone, 23 women and children have died at the hands of an intimate partner. In each of these cases, the partner of the woman has been charged in connection with the death of the woman or has committed suicide.

“On December 6^th, we come together to remember, reflect and respond to the 14 women who were shot in 1989. We remember those who have been taken from us, we reflect on the prevalence of violence in our communities and we respond to social injustices that perpetuate gender based violence,” says Jessica St. Peter, Public Educator at Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis. “We want a response and we want change! Since 1990, 476 of our family, friends and neighbours have been taken. The women victimized by violence are someone’s mother, sister, cousin, aunt, grandmother or daughter. We come together as a community to say that there is no excuse for abuse, and to remember that for many, violence is an all too real part of everyday existence”.

Please join together on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 6:00pm to participate in the vigil.
