Adam's Fall
An investigation into suicide, prevention, and how cities can save lives.
Originally published in The Coast (January 2008), this investigation explores the tragic reality of suicides occurring at Halifax's Angus L. Macdonald Bridge and the public policy debate regarding barriers and mental health support.
The bridge has long been a site of significant concern for the community. Activists and victim families argued that physical barriers were not just a safety precaution, but a necessary moral imperative to prevent impulsive acts of self-harm.
