He has spent more than 25 years working among folks who are living on or close to the streets of Toronto. He was the founding director of the Salvation Army Gateway; a shelter for men experiencing homelessness.
Dion also lives with Multiple Sclerosis and uses a walker or mobility scooter to get around.
