KAWARTHA LAKES-Eight years ago Erin Attard lost her daughter to suicide. Attard was one of about two dozen people who attended a candlelight vigil in Lindsay on World Suicide Prevention Day. For years it’s been a taboo subject. Law enforcement won’t report or comment on suspected suicides, much of the media steers clear of the topic as well. She says people need to start talking openly about suicide in order to stem the tide.
The vigil was held at the beautiful Hospice Service Labrynth Garden at 112 McLaughlin Road in Lindsay. Â It’s open to the public.
