On the left is Candice Beale, an anti-poverty activist and single mother from Ottawa. Candice is also
the provincial coordinator of the Feed the Kids AND Pay the Rent Campaign - a campaign challenging the provincial
government to raise inadequate shelter allowances that force social assistance recipients to often chose
between paying the rent or feeding the kids. The campaign was initiated by SWAN and is now being duplicated
in communities across the country. Candice is also an active member of SWAN and the
co-chair of the Ontario Social Safety NetWork (OSSN), one of the public interest groups
with intervener's status at the Inquest into the death of Kimberly Rogers.

In the centre, is Bob Busby, an anti-poverty activist with the Somerset West Action Action Network (SWAN)
holding a Justice with Dignity sign. Bob was the principal organizer for the SWAN visit.

to the Ontario Social Safety NetWork (OSSN) and the legal clinics' Steering Committee on Social Assistance (SCSA)
who have joint standing at the Inquest into the death of Kimberly Rogers. Bob was instrumental in the launch of
Feed the Kids AND Pay the Rent Campaign and is extremely active lobbying all levels of government
for social and co-operative housing.
