Walk for Wenjack

Walk for Wenjack Events 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 2025, walks will be held in five communities, including new events in the Municipality of Kincardine and Municipality of Brockton. These events bring neighbours together to learn, reflect, and walk in solidarity on the path toward reconciliation. Join a Walk for Wenjack event near you to honour the story of Chanie Wenjack, reflect on the legacy of residential schools, and walk together in community. Schedule: August 14 – Cape Croker Park, Neyaashiinigmiing 1:00 PM refreshments provided. Gather at the Arbour. October 17 – Wiarton, Bluewater Park 1:00
