Member Spotlight: The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF)

The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund is part of Gord Downie’s legacy and embodies his commitment, and that of his family, to improving lives of First Peoples in Canada. In collaboration with the Wenjack Family, the goal of the Fund is to continue the conversation that began with Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story, and to aid our collective reconciliation journey through a combination of awareness, education, and action. 

In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, DWF is offering a week of learning and reflection, including webinars and resources to support your ongoing reconciliation journey.
