The 2024 Colin Steward Award: Burkhard & Ingrid Plache

Ingrid receives award from Allan Robertson at HFN meeting on 15 April 2025.

Burkhard and Ingrid Plache have been active members of HFH since their arrival in Halifax many years ago. Burkhard served as our President from 2017 to 2022 when, in the latter year, he passed away in a tragic event. Ingrid continues to an active member and board member (Treasurer) of HFN.
