The Association In Defence of the Wrongly Convicted is embarking on a unique program to raise funds for its crucial activities - "Awareness Through Art."
As the organization points out in a recent release:
"On June 11, 2011, AIDWYC (Association In Defence of The Wrongly Convicted ) is hosting the "Awareness Through Art” Art Show/Auction in order to raise funds to enable us to continue our important work on behalf of the wrongly convicted.
The Art show will be held at the Bezpala Brown Gallery, 17 Church Ave, Toronto, Ontario from 7 pm. to 10 pm. Wine and Cheese will be served.
Wrongful convictions are tragic. The “Awareness Through Art” show is one way of raising awareness for correction and prevention.
A number of our wrongly convicted clients will attend and will contribute pieces of art they have personally created to depict their journeys.
Tickets are $ 15.00 per person
Wine & Cheese will be served.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The Toronto Star, my previous employer for more than twenty incredible years, has put considerable effort into exposing the harm caused by Dr. Charles Smith and his protectors - and into pushing for reform of Ontario's forensic pediatric pathology system. The Star has a "topic" section which focuses on recent stories related to Dr. Charles Smith. It can be found at:
