The Media Co-op editorial collective and board are devastated to learn of the illness and sudden death of Palmira Boutillier in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Palmira was a Media Co-op board member and an active member of the Halifax Media Co-op.

She brought incredible energy and strong commitment to the Media Co-op. Palmira always contributed new ideas and brought a unique vision to her work with the Co-op, she did the same in her writing.

Our deepest condolences to her family, her friends in Halifax, in BC, and elsewhere, as well as to her partner Miles Howe, who is a member of the editorial collectives of the Media Co-op and the Halifax Media Co-op.
