The lede in a recent story on his life and his passing, spoke to the many historical and human legacies of Darce Fardy. "Nova Scotia’s first freedom of information officer who later shared his story of living with dementia as a Chronicle Herald columnist, died Saturday at age 89 in Halifax." His long career as a journalist led him to his role as a public servant, focusing on access to information and the right for citizens to know what governments were doing. Former Nova Scotia Politician Graham Steele worked with Fardy as both a member of the opposition and the government during his time in office. Steele now holds a similar job as the Information and Privacy Commissioner in Nunavut. That's where he spoke fondly of the strength of character and of his work later in life sharing his personal journey with Alzheimer's.
