It is with great sadness and shock that we share the news of the untimely and tragic loss of Sebastien Charly, the son/stepson of our Arts and Entertainment Manager, Kel Halligan, and his partner, Caby. Sebastien passed away in an apartment fire during the early morning hours of Saturday, February 15th, in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec. He was only 18 years old.
The costs of funeral expenses are quite exorbitant these days, and no one is ever prepared for such a sudden loss, especially without a will. Here are the details on the GoFundMe page, with English text below the French. Any dollar amount will help them reach their goal. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Merci beaucoup.

**English below** C’est avec une immense tristesse et un sentiment d’inc… Daphne Bastin needs your support for Sébastien-Charley, 18 ans, parti trop jeune
