Working the dead beat – how did these people change Canada?
In her book, “The Dead beat,”
Sandra Martin, a columnist for the “Globe & Mail”, has honoured the
lives of Canada’s famous, infamous, and unsung heroes in this collection of obituaries of the first
decade of the twenty-first century.
Please join us as Ms. Martin presents at the Barbara Frum Library on
April 18, 2013, to talk about her book and the interesting people whose lives
and deaths she has chronicled.
Do you agree with the choices she has made for this book? Are there other people who left us in the
first decade of this century, whose lives and deaths you think should have been
included? Are there choices here that
surprise you?
One of the subject headings for her book is “heroes.” Do you agree that some or all of these
individuals would be considered to be heroes?
And how do you define what constitutes a hero?
