They may not wear capes, but they're quietly overcoming challenges and making our community better. On this episode of Now or Never, we celebrate everyday heroes. Like crossing guard Mischelle Squire, whose dance moves and energy make her a favourite at Toronto's John Ross Robertson Public School. Find out why the whole school recently held a surprise parade in Mischelle's honour. Vivian Ketchum started her education at residential school, and now - at the age of 58 - is graduating from high school. Friends gather to look back on how far she's come, and we surprise Viv with her favourite musician, Ernest Monias. On a particular street in Winnipeg's West End, everyone knew Winston Basque. He'd often be found on his front deck, greeting neighbours and their dogs - and being a connecting point for the community. We join his partner Kathy and dozens of neighbours at a street party held in his memory. Celebrating his younger brother, and hero, has never been more important to Patrick de Belen then it is now. A documentary, memorial walk, and poetry are just part of celebrating Jordan de Belen, who died by suicide 17 months ago. We revisit Dianna Rasing's story, when she got the rare opportunity to thank the young woman who saved her from drowning, exactly one year after it happened.
