Katy Hutchison

Katy, the mother of sixteen-year old twins, Emma and Sam, resides with her family in Victoria, BC. She moved to Vancouver Island eleven years ago, following the horrific murder of her husband Bob McIntosh. In the course of dealing with the legal issues surrounding Bob's death, she met and married lawyer Michael Hutchison.

After Bob's murder on New Year's Eve 1997 Katy waited for five years while the RCMP worked tirelessly to obtain the evidence to prosecute and convict his killers. During that period, Katy developed her perception of the societal forces and lack of understanding amongst young people that created the circumstances leading to Bob's death. She grew to recognize the need to advise and educate young members of the community about the risks that arise with the combination of young people, alcohol, and a lack of supervision.

United Way of Quinte has proudly hosted Katy twice in the past year enabling her to share her story with more than 5,000 area high school students. Feedback from educators, students and parents alike confirm  these types of presentations are extremely helpful in providing tools and strategies for our youth. We will continue to seek out opportunities of this nature and facilitate the delivery of these kinds of messages whenever appropriate for us to do so.
