“For as long as I can remember, I have been troubled by the double standard the white culture in Canada accepts as ’normal’ when it comes to Indigenous culture and Indigenous communities. Periodically, I’m horrified by it.

Recently, my wife and I watched Secret Path and read the associated book and we were heartbroken by it. This cycle of disrespect MUST end. Supporting the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund is an important part of our efforts to try and push for justice and, hopefully, one day, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in every part of Canada.”

– Stuart Heggie, Monthly Donor
