Councillor Ryan Donn choked back tears at yesterday's Kelowna city council meeting as he acknowledged the death of Cassy Miller.
She was 28 and a mother. She was reported missing November 6th. Her body was found last friday. According to her friends, Cassy had struggled with addiction issues. Donn once worked at the Boys and Girls club and Cassy was a regular in programs he ran for about 5 years. He saw her and her daughter briefly in October at an event in Rutland and then she died.
Donn thinks it important that he acknowledged her passing at Kelowna Council. He believes her circumstances may help the city find solutions to issues of housing, addiciton, mental health and more.
