The Home Hardware employee took on tasks with the GTA branch of the project six years ago and has been more involved every year since.

Shantz says the booth at the biennial convention brings good exposure to the cause, forming a sense of community for drivers around the event and shines a light on the good things drivers do in a climate where they are often portrayed in the media as the bad guys after incidents on the road.
