Nearly seven years after losing his son to a toxic drug supply, an Ottawa father will set out from Belleville this weekend on a 40-kilometre walk to honour the more than 56,000 Canadians who have died in the country's opioid crisis. It will be the fifth such walk he has done this summer throughout southern and eastern Ontario.
