Aaron Webster was the victim of a hate crime. He was killed because he was gay and for no other reason. This tragedy affected many of us deeply, because at the time of his death, Aaron was the president of his housing co-operative.

Not long after Aaron’s death, CHF BC established the Aaron Webster Memorial Fund. This is the seed that grew into our Scholarship Fund. Each year we name one of our scholarships the Aaron Webster Memorial Scholarship to acknowledge those roots.
