About
The Babz Chula Lifeline for Artists is a non-profit society created by a group of high-profile Canadian actors who joined forces to raise money to help pay for our dear friend’s mounting medical bills.
Babz Chula is regarded as one of Canada’s most accomplished actors and a veritable life force in Vancouver’s independent film community. She is a generous mentor to young artists and a tireless volunteer to countless charity causes.
On May 7, 2010, Babz passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family.
It was always her wish that the Society continue on her behalf–she considered it her legacy. To that end, the society has recently undergone some changes, and broadened our mandate. Please stay tuned to our Future page for further developments.
