Hundreds of individuals who’ve died on Highway 63 over the years are once again being remembered through an annual memorial ride.
For the tenth year in a row, several vehicles will drive down the road as a way to honour all the past victims.
Founder Annie Lelievre tells Mix News she started the ride to remember her son Jason who died in an accident back in 2011. Her ex-husband John also pass away on the road just a couple years later.
She says it’s extremely hard to process that her son has been gone for almost a decade.
