Gord Downie performs Secret Path at the Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto earlier this year. Secret Path is the story of the death of Chanie Wenjack during trek home from Cecilia Jeffery residential school in 1966.

Inspired by The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie and his project, The Secret Path, Guelph's Jason Lafave and three other fans will leave this weekend on a two-day hike to retrace the journey of Chanie Wenjack. The 12-year-old Anishinaabe boy, who is the focus of Downie’s multi-media project, died in October 1966 at the age of 12 after he ran away from a residential school and tried to find his way home.
