She has appeared in news articles all over the world, been featured in countless media segments, appeared on the Dr Phil show and has had personal meetings with heads of state. Recently Leah, along with Rehtaeh’s father Glen Canning and Carol Todd (mother of cyberbullying / suicide victim Amanda Todd) were presented with the Rosalind Prober Award for Advocacy at the Beyond Borders ECPAT Canada Media Awards in Winnipeg.
Carol, Glen and Leah’s dedication to seeking change in preventing cyberbullying and online sexual exploitation has not only raised awareness about the issues, but their tireless advocacy has also motivated stakeholders to urgently address the harm done by this type of victimization.Rosalind Prober
