Dozens of people gathered at a newly-renamed park in Toronto’s east end Saturday morning to celebrate the life of its namesake, Caroline Huebner-Makurat, who was struck and killed by a stray bullet 11 months ago.
“This is where there's a culmination of the adult and the child come together and I think that really speaks to who Caroline was. She was a very grown-up child,” Huebner-Makurat’s husband, Adrian Makurat, told family, friends, and elected officials at a renaming ceremony at, Huebner-Makurat was on her way to lunch in the area of Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue when an altercation broke out between three men.
Outrage and a debate over supervised injection sites came in the wake of Huebner-Makurat's death, with some families in the area telling CTV News Toronto last year that the health centre hadblamed the SRCHC, the province and the city for what the claimants described as the neighbourhood’s"rapid" deterioration since the consumption site opened.
“It's special that we can remember someone who valued motherhood highly. Having kids that have a fun, active place to play is critical and it’s very special that I can remember and see my wife's name forever ingrained into history.
