WINNIPEG - The Manitoba government is setting up a bursary in memory of a man who was beheaded on a Greyhound bus.
The Tim McLean Memorial Bursary Fund will provide money to aboriginal students enrolled in trade apprenticeship programs.
McLean was killed on a bus near Portage la Prairie, Man. in 2008, and the man who killed him, Vince Li, is being held indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital.
McLean was a carnival worker who was also aspiring to be a motor-vehicle mechanic.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson says the bursary will help other people realize McLean's dream and keep his memory alive.
The amount of each bursary will depend on how many people are chosen every year, as well as on how much money its endowment fund earns.
