Financial means should not be a barrier to pursuing your dream. Every year in British
Columbia young people are denied their dream of pursuing post-secondary education not
because they lack talent, ambition or dedication, but because they lack the financial means.
Elmer Helm had a dream of his own. That dream was to make a positive difference in his
community by acting on the belief that when people work together to strengthen their
neighbourhoods, everyone benefits. For more than 40 years, Elmer worked with the
Association of Neighbourhood Houses BC (ANHBC) to provide services in pursuit of that goal.
In the spirit of Elmer’s dedication to the youth, seniors and families of Vancouver through
ANHBC, this Scholarship was set up in his name.
Please submit the following information in the following order via email to central@anhbc.org
