  • Once Upon an Alley in Hamilton

    I first met Brenda during an election, but I came to know her through the work that happens long after campaigns end; in alleys, gardens, and neighbourhood spaces most people overlook.

    Brenda believed that community was built by showing up, by listening, and by making room for people to belong again.

    This is a remembrance of her life and work, of the quiet spaces she made better, and of the kind of everyday service that makes a city feel like home.
