Matthew Gordon was 10 years old when his father was tragically killed on the 103 highway.
His memory lives on with the annual Matthew Gordon Clothing Drive which has now gone national after The Canadian National Railway became involved along with The Salvation Army.
The big picture is a goal of a facility to help homeless men get back on their feet away from triggers of addiction with the newly formed and registered non profit, Ken Gordon Society.
We chatted with the now 15 year old Matthew about this event honouring his late father, along with his mom Lorna.
