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 Caroline Huebner Parkette, located near Logan Avenue and Dundas Street East.
The 44-year-old mother of two, an innocent bystander, was struck by a stray bullet and later died in hospital. 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 had attracted unwanted criminal activity to the area.
