MEDIA HAVE HELPED IN THE PAST AND MAY AGAIN

Since we have learned that Ayn will be coming home to her family, the media is asking for opportunity to consult with Derek Hoare. None of us know full details of the agreement that has been reached with the Ministry of Children and Family Development. When the return is imminent and when Derek is ready, I am sure that he will make himself available to release information. There are some comments from Derek on Ayn's Facebook Page which is open to anyone. Let me remind all of you of the good coverage that some news journalists provided to Derek in the early weeks of this now 18 month ordeal.

On the day that his daughter was celebrating her tenth birthday, the ABBOTSFORD NEWS 1130 interviewed Derek Hoare and this is whatnews journalist Jess Johnston wrote on that day, December 14th, 2011. It is a good review of Derek’s present situation. Many of you know the details. Here is the account.
