True North Aid has had more communities reach out to us recently after we were able to fulfill to requests from Clearwater River Dene Nation, LaLoche, and Canoe Lake Cree First Nation, all in northern and remote Saskatchewan, as well as Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids First Nations in Manitoba.
Like many First Nations communities, families within them often live in poverty and have difficulty affording and accessing school supplies in their northern stores.
With your help, we can help to ensure First Nations children are provided the basic and essential tools for learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May 2020 of this year, we were able to support Canoe Lake Cree First Nation in Saskatchewan with 195 backpacks for the entire community as well as in August supporting the communities of Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids in Manitoba and La Loche and Clearwater River Dene Nation in Saskatchewan.
