Chrissy Brett remembered as fierce, relentless fighter for homeless
July 20, 2022
Vancouver - Tireless, relentless and fierce are words being used by anti-poverty advocates and politicians to describe Chrissy Brett, an outspoken Indigenous housing activist who died suddenly over the weekend. She was believed to be in her mid-40s.
No cause of death has been made public but close ally Fiona York, a longtime fighter for rights of homeless people in Vancouver, said a friend of Brett’s family alerted her Sunday that the Nuxalk grandmother had died in her sleep in a home in the Lower Mainland.
“I hadn't seen her for a few months, but I know quite a few people who saw her in the last week and said that she looked quite well and healthy and strong — nothing to indicate anything was going to happen,” said York, who considered Brett a mentor. “Everything that I do currently is really because of her — how I do things, the way I do things, my understanding — everything is really informed by learning from her and watching her and working with her. And that was just really a privilege.”
