“I thought I lived in a place where life mattered,” she said. “But there’s been no justice, no accountability.”
Because Madeline did not have dependent children, B.C. civil law places little monetary value on her life. Compensation in cases of wrongful death caused by negligence is tied to the victim’s future earning potential and the age of their dependent children.

The 2nd Annual Mothers for Justice Memorial Walk was held on Saturday, May 13th at 1PM, led by bagpiper Rich Nichol to Premier Eby’s constituency office.
