Wilson Hodder 1949-2000
Wilson Hodder, born in Ireland's Eye, Newfoundland, died at 51 of complications due to AIDS, at home in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia, surrounded by friends and caregivers. In May 1999, Wilson was one of the first two men in the country to qualify for same-sex spousal survivor benefits under the Canada Pension Plan when the federal justice minister acknowledged to a tribunal that the rules are discriminatory.
