On October 17, 2017 Canadians lost an icon, "Canada's Front Man". Gord was loved by his family dearly and was held in the highest regard by his many dedicated fans from around the world. Gord will be remembered by those he touched with his music and all those who knew and loved him. He will never be far from our hearts and minds.
The Downie family would like to thank each and every person across the country and beyond, for their continued outpouring of love, support, and for the privacy they have received. In Memory of Gord, to honor his legacy, continue his mission, and to help with the reconciliation efforts and bring awareness to the indigenous people. We ask that you please visit his website and donate to The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund at:

"Once you get a little bit educated, then it's time for action...Our task is to try and keep that in motion because that's what he would have wanted." -Michael Downie
