About

Hosted by award-winning journalist & bestselling author Tanya Talaga, Understanding the Secret Path explores the creation of Gord Downie’s Secret Path (based on the true story of Chanie Wenjack), the history of residential schools, and how the Wenjack and Downie families came together to support Canada’s journey towards reconciliation. Featuring guests such as Mike Downie (Gord’s brother), Harriet Visitor (Chanie’s niece), Kevin Hearn and Kevin Drew (Barenaked Ladies and Broken Social Scene), we are all urged to answer Gord’s call to “Do Something” to make our country a better place.
