The CHS now has a bench dedicated to Beaver and has also planted a tree in memory of another member of the cannabis club. The Calgary Cannabis Club’s initial thought was to donate the money it had raised from members to AHS’s Tom Baker Cancer Centre, which offers a range of healthcare services for people with cancer. The donation was in remembrance of Rick Beaver, a friend of the centre who grew and used his own medicinal cannabis, according to Global News. Wong reported the club has raised more than $2,200 to honour Chris LaFrance, another member who died from cancer and had received treatment at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. The hope is that money can be given to the centre in both Beaver’s and LaFrance’s name, Wong said.
