It is with profound sadness that we announce today the passing of Aldo Del Col, M.S.M., our Co-founder, dear friend and mentor on August 6, 2019 due to unforeseen complications related to multiple myeloma. Aldo leaves behind an incredible legacy of passion, determination and accomplishments.

Aldo’s funeral will be held in his hometown of Timmins, Ontario. For those wanting to honour Aldo’s life and legacy, his family has asked that a gift be made in his honour, in lieu of flowers. A special tribute fund has been set up and is accessible here:
