Gord Downie, February 6, 1964 – October 17, 2017

Will McGuirk February 6, 2019

By Will McGuirk

We are slow, somethings can wait, somethings can not. Today, on what would be Gord Downie’s 55th birthday, we at slowcity.ca rededicate ourselves to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee.

I had the privilege of attending Downie’s Secret Path show at the Roy Thompson in TO and afterwards as one of the lucky select few there, I chose to be an ambassador for his message. To do better, to do something, wherever, however, to engage, acknowledge, champion and commune with First Nations, Inuit and the Metis, and all indigenous peoples.

In honour of the work and memory of Wicapi Omani, The Man Who Walked With Stars.

The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund
