KAWARTHA LAKES-Bobcaygeon Brewing Company has decided to give back to a man who helped put their small community on the map. “Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip have done so much to bring attention to our community, and as we are all big Hip fans at Bobcaygeon Brewing Company, we wanted to honour his legacy and support an extremely worthwhile cause.” Richard Wood, President and Co-founder of Bobcaygeon Brewing Company told Kawartha 411.
The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund is something that Downie spent much of his last few months working on. The website says it embodies his commitment, and that of his family, to improving the lives of First Peoples. “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.”
