When people asked Catherine White Holman what she did for a living, her partner Shaira Holman was always quick to interject.
She does "angel work," Shaira liked to say.
"She saved a lot of people's lives; she found people money and furniture and housing and help, and she was a light to so many people," says Shaira, her voice thick with grief.
Catherine Holman was among six people who perished in a float plane crash Nov 29 near Saturna Island.
Among her many community contributions, Catherine, a counsellor and a founding member of Vancouver's Three Bridges clinic, wrote Guidelines for Transgender Care and Care for Transgender Adolescents, considered to be the benchmark on best practices internationally.
