Logan Middleton is a radio personality and producer, and Evan Legate is a public affairs and communications professional.

When Logan joined the Big Brothers Big Sisters community mentorship program as a young boy, he wasn’t just looking for companionship—he was searching for a sense of belonging and connection. Growing up with his mom after the loss of his father, Logan found a true role model in Evan who at the time was a university student eager to give back.

Evan and Logan would be the first to admit that they spent a lot of their time goofing off, playing video games , or grabbing hot dogs for dinner. But their bond grew through meaningful experiences, like creating a winning music video that took them to a live concert where they even got on stage and jammed with the band during sound check. During their time together, Evan’s involvement with various political organizations demonstrated the importance of community engagement and inspired Logan to see how individual actions can contribute to something larger. Evan’s encouragement and example of giving back taught Logan the importance of community and being part of something larger than himself.

This lesson stayed with Logan as he grew. In Grade 9, he became an in-school mentor through the BBBS In-school mentoring program, sharing his time and energy to support younger students. Many years later, Logan had a chance encounter with his mentee’s sister. In a “small world” moment, they discovered that Logan had been the teen mentor who helped her brother build confidence and make new friends during his school years. For Logan, this reconnection was a powerful reminder of the ripple effect of mentorship and the role community plays in shaping lives.

Today, Logan continues to embody the values Evan instilled in him. As a radio host at Calgary’s x92.9, he uses his platform to champion local talent through his show, Xposure. Logan sees himself as a proud bastion of Calgary’s music scene, fostering connection and celebrating the community that shaped him. His journey from mentee to mentor to advocate highlights the enduring impact of mentorship and the importance of building vibrant, supportive communities.
