It is difficult to find the right words to express condolences for someone with as big a heart and spirit as Amanda. Though our time with her was brief, her impact was profound. Through her Mindful Ally Leadership Training, Amanda shared not only her knowledge but also her strength, passion, and vision for an inclusive and socially just future, led by Indigenous youth. Her fierce advocacy for Indigenous communities was a source of inspiration and will continue to shape our path forwards.
In honor of Amanda, we commit to implementing our learning from her leadership training by ensuring opportunity, equity, and welcoming learning spaces for physiotherapy students with an Indigenous background in the Western University School of Physical Therapy.
Our thoughts are with Amanda’s loved ones and close friends, and all who were fortunate to have known and learned from her.
