Description:
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.
