Project Overview
TrueNorth Aid is helping to collect and purchase hockey equipment and supplies for youth living on the Montreal Lake First Nation.
Sports and Cultural activities improve self-esteem and social skills while providing motivation for education and other areas of life. Working with the communities’ leadership and our circle of partners, we are happy to respond to this request and support wellness and positive lifestyles for youth in this community.
