Darce Fardy (1932–2022) was a long-time reporter, producer, and head of current affairs with CBC Television. His "retirement" after almost forty years with the CBC did not last long. Over the next thirty years he dedicated himself to two important causes near and dear to his heart: one, the right to access information held by publicly accountable bodies, serving as the first review officer overseeing the Nova Scotia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The second, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013, was helping others come to terms with the daily challenges of living with dementia.
