Todd Coon and his sister Patsy were “scooped” by child welfare
authorities when they were just toddlers in the wake of a 1966 Winnipeg
house fire. Coon’s father could made only one request — that his
children be adopted together.
The pair were shuffled through foster homes over two years before they were adopted by a family in Ontario. For Coon, it was far from a happy childhood. “I seemed to be bullied because of my skin colour. I didn’t know why,” says Coon, now 53.
