Intelligent, curious and a passionate advocate for transforming our social care systems, Lilia Zaharieva left a deep impression on the people she met.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of our former CYC students, Lilia Zaharieva. Lilia died on June 17, 2022 at the age of 35. Lilia was an extraordinary woman who took on many challenges on multiple fronts and she was an inspiration for all who knew her. She lived with cystic fibrosis (CF) and from a young age Lilia was told she would not live much past the age of 30, the average life expectancy for persons with CF before the advent of the new miracle gene-altering drugs.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of HSD News As educators, learners and staff members across seven academic units and two support centres, we have much news to share. That鈥檚 why we created HSD NEWS, an online and smallrun printed newsletter. This is the first of three issues for 2022 鈥� one for the start of each term.

It was long ago and not so long ago, that the children from this land were stolen from their homes. An agreement between State and Church, to appropriate the land and to harm Indigenous people by taking the children from the land, families and identity.

As a School and CYC community, our hearts go out to our Indigenous faculty, sessional instructors, staff and students as we acknowledge the grief and anger that they must carry and the profound impact that this has on them.

We invite you to the launch and blessing of the amazing Fearless Sisters Rising mural, displayed at the Mearns Centre for Learning- McPherson Library at the 番茄社区.

Lydia Jim, an amazing Child and Youth Care student is contributing to keeping families safe. Lydia recently introduced the 鈥淚ndigenous Bridging Program鈥� to Tsartlip First Nation as part of Victoria Foundation funded Bridges for Women program. Great work Lydia!
