Cervical Cancer: Canadian Citizenship

Veronica Singh-Boles Dept: Cervical cancer would claim her life long before she could ever obtain a Canadian passport, vote in an election or exercise her right to run for public office, according to Vancouver Sun.

But on June 28, with her husband Jim and seven-year-old daughter Leah by her side, the 31-year-old Guyanese native, whose life had been anything but easy, was granted this much sought after status during a private ceremony at a hospital in Milton, Ont.
