What story will photographer Julie Oliver remember most from this past year?
She says it’s her trip to the northern indigenous community of Attawapiskat last spring, which was in the grip of a horrific suicide crisis among its children and youth.
Read our stories on it and see Julie’s compelling photos:
‘Busy night at the hospital. Pray for Attawapiskat’
Attawapiskat youth fight for survival: ‘We are all scared for them’
Signs from kids in the community presented at a youth forum Thursday, April 14, 2016.
Five more Attawapiskat kids attempted suicide on Friday evening, chief says
Syvanna Koostachin had four friends who tried to commit suicide during the suicide pact this past Monday. Only 17 years old, she has attempted suicide multiple times herself, she says. “I just wanted to end the pain,” referring to “family problems” and “being bullied.” However, now she says “suicide is not the answer” and is scared for some of her friends. In the wake an epidemic of suicide attempts in Attawapiskat – including 11 young people last Saturday and a foiled suicide pact earlier this week – this remote northern Ontario reserve of 2,000 people declared a state of emergency over the weekend.

Julie is also the photographer who has given us an intimate look into the life of Jonathan Pitre, Ottawa’s Butterfly Boy.
Many of Julie’s best photos of Pitre can be seen in this essay by reporter Andrew Duffy.
