Canadian Committe for World Press Freedom Gathering

I was pleased to attend a reception to formally thank sponsors and supporters of the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom for their commitment and to honor the memory of Tara Singh Hayer, a Canadian journalist murdered eleven years ago this November. It is believed Hayer was assassinated because of knowledge he had obtained regarding the 1985 Air India bombing . photos from the gathering held in the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Room at the Rideau Club. top: Hugh Winsor from the Globe and Mail, Bob Rae, Guy Badeaux [aka Bado] editorial cartoonist for Le Droit; myself and Jim Orban of the Ottawa Citizen
