BARRIE, ONT. As crews continue to pick up the pieces and start to rebuild what was lost in Barrie s recent tornado, officials are working towards making access to mental health support as easy as possible. Dozens turned out to St. Gabriel s School Thursday afternoon for Healing After Trauma: Regaining Your Mental Health After a Disaster, a community event spearheaded by Barrie s Ward 1 councillor, Jim Harris. This is really very simple. We can see the impact of the tornado, the physical impact, the shingles, the roofs, the cars, the damage, but there s also the personal impact, says Harris, who also works for New Path Youth & Family Services, one of the agencies making their support available. We wanted to make sure that our families and children, our community knows that there are services available to help them through this very challenging time.

After the Ontario Review Board released him into the community three years later, Vassell stopped taking his medication. The day after he unsuccessfully tried to get himself readmitted to Ontario Shores, he stabbed his mother, Yvonne Bachelor-Vassell, and set fire to her Etobicoke townhouse.
