John Webb Memorial

It is with sad regret that we announce the passing of John Robert Webb on Saturday March 17th, 2007. He died peacefully at home surrounded by family and though we are devestated we are thankful for the times we shared with him. He led a full and varied life right up until the end. From music critic for the Georgia Straight in the early years to Councillor for the District of Metchosin and champion of champions for the BC provincial initiative to Bridge the Digital Divide across all BC communities.

We have set up this site to provide you with an avenue for expressing your condolences, telling of tales past and as a source of information for John's memorial. Please feel free to post as you wish.

Thank you for all of your support.
