Jen Powley has passed away. She was a tenacious champion for people with disabilities and others whose voice was seldom heard. She proved many times that the loudest voice is not the most powerful voice. She will be greatly missed. She made a difference.

When a big red wall in the new office sings out for a special brand moment – you ask your good friends for help. Thanks @Wunderinc for the amazing concept, @BuildNovaScotia for the authentically-worn bench, and @tphcanada for production/installation! #unitedway #community
A bright red office wall with a weathered park bench sitting in front of it. Above the bench, white text reads: "This is a park bench. It's not a good place to sleep, or to spend a day alone in the cold. It's not a very safe place for someone to sit and beat themselves up about the situation they're in. It's not a nice place to realize that a food bank is the only way for you to put a meal on the table. It's not a comfortable place for someone to shed tears after they have lost everything, including the support of their family. So until this park bench is just a place to enjoy the sunshine or share stories with a friend, our work here isn't done." Above that text is a white United Way Halifax logo.
