Stevie Cameron, a Canadian journalist, author and philanthropist who was active for decades, has died at the age of 80.
Cameron’s family told CBC News that she died on Saturday at her Toronto home.
Born in Belleville, Ontario, Cameron’s journalism career began in the mid-1970s and continued into the early 2000s.
During that time, she worked as a columnist, editor and reporter for many of Canada’s most prominent news organizations, including The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen and Maclean’s.
She is from C.B.C. The Fifth Power Early 1990s.
Canadian journalist Stevie Cameron has denied accusations that he is a confidential informant for the RCMP.
Cameron has written several books on topics ranging from serial killer Robert Pickton to the scandal surrounding former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
Her charitable efforts focused on helping the homeless and those in material need.
In 2013, she was made a member of the Order of Canada for her contributions to her field and “volunteer work with those less fortunate.”
“She was a gifted author and journalist, speaking truth to power,” her daughter Amy Cameron told CBC News.
“As a result, she felt that she might upset some people, but it’s also important to tell these stories.”
In addition to Amy, Cameron is survived by her husband David and their daughter Tassie.
A funeral will be held on Sept. 8 at St. Andrew’s Church in downtown Toronto, where Cameron helped found the Out of the Cold program in 1991, according to family members.
