- On November 18, 1998, only a week before the inaugural CJFE Press Freedom Awards, Tara Singh Hayer, editor of the Indo-Canadian Times and recipient of the Order of Canada, was assassinated in the garage of his Surrey, British Columbia home. It was the second attempt on his life, the first having left Mr Hayer partially paralysed. The murder, the first of a Canadian journalist this century, shocked the community with the realization that freedom of expression issues are not only a problem outside our borders. The Indo-Canadian Times continues to publish, led by an editorial board that includes Dave Hayer, son of the former editor.

  • The CJFE Canadian Press Freedom Award was renamed in honour of Mr Hayer.
