True North Aid is proud to have been able to support the Northern Lights School Division in providing basic personal hygiene supplies to students in Saskatchewan. Personal hygiene products are very costly and most students live in remote communities where travel is required to purchase basic necessities. This program helps reduce the barriers Indigenous students have when it comes to learning and feeling good about themselves. Hygiene supplies closets will be located at division headquarters in La Ronge as well as a sub-office in Beauval. Each school will be distributed the resources they need to get going but we will have additional supplies stored in La Ronge and/or Beauval so that resources can travel to the communities they are needed in.
