Piece Description
The brutal murders of Navreet Waraichi and Manjit Panghali and the shooting of Gurjeet Ghurman - all within a two-week period in October 2006 - made three young women in British Columbia's Lower Mainland rise to their feet and speak publicly at a Forum on domestic violence. Supreeti Ghosh, Ahsley Sandu and Sandip Rokra caught the attention and the ear of Wally Oppal, BC's Attorney General who was at the Forum, held at Langara College, in the heart of Vancouver's Punjabi Market. "That's how we address these issues is by recognizing they in fact exist and realizing how improper conduct within the community has been legitimized for years. The gender imbalance has been taken for granted in many households and it is so odious and so wrong." - Wally Oppal Usually outspoken on the issue of domestic violence, Wally Oppal sat and listened to these three women talk about their concern for the future. Listen in.

Review of Silence Like Air
Teresa Goff expertly covers this sensitive topic by letting people speak for themselves. It is so refreshing to hear a piece about the diaspora India community that doesn't relate to the exotic or obvious entertainment bit of the "clash of two cultures" or the dancing Bollywood girls.
Choosing to end the piece with the subtle, but powerful comments of Wally Opal, really proves her ability as a news reporter that understands the power of radio to build community.
Go, Goff!
