“With every ounce of my love I wish our son, Liam, a lifetime of meaning and prosperity. This century is yours, Liam. Take care of our country and the dreams of poor people. Work diligently for justice and human rights, appreciate what you’ve borrowed and remember that all of us share the commonest root. It is an inheritance to be proud of, not to be ignored.”
- Lindalee Tracey from her first book: “On The Edge: A Journey into the Heart of Canada”
On October 14, 2006, Ottawa-born author, journalist, filmmaker and mother succumbed to breast cancer. She was just 49 years of age, but in her all-too-brief life Lindalee accomplished so much, inspired many and touched human hearts around the world.
She is missed by countless friends and family, many of whom had the pleasure of working with Lindalee on her award-winning publishing and film projects, created for the CBC, TVO, CTV, History Television, Channel 4 UK, Toronto Life and others.
The underlying theme of Lindalee’s articles, books, documentaries and dramas was to champion those who are ignored, underestimated and forgotten and celebrate those who rise above disadvantage.
To commemorate Lindalee’s unique approach to her life and work, her family and friends established The Lindalee Tracey Award, presented annually to an emerging Canadian filmmaker who works in the spirit of Lindalee – with passion, humanity, a strong sense of social justice and a sense of humour.
Please join us in making The Lindalee Tracey Award an endowment by contributing to the Lindalee Tracey Fund.
