Amazing!! Thank you Yellowknife! And of course, Canadian Tire!Woohoo! We SOLD OUT of the 1500 duck tickets! $7500 will be donated to Food First Foundation and $7500 will be donated to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. Both charities help kids in our community! AMAZING! Be sure to watch your duck's progress on Cabin Radio NWT from July 13th to 17th!
Ever wonder what $20,000 in grocery gift cards looks like??
Here is our coordinator, Tess, with gift cards bound for Yellowknife Education District No. 1 and Yellowknife Catholic Schools families.
We’re grateful to the Government of Canada and @communityfoodcentrescanada for providing essential funding to
help us offer emergency food relief in our community. Thanks @JustinTrudeau @mclaudebibeau @AAFC_Canada!
Last day to get your duck at Canadian Tire. Thank you, Yellowknife, for your support! And thanks to Cabin Radio NWT for broadcasting the event starting July 13th 🙂
Only a few more days left to get your duck at Canadian Tire and compete in a week-long race to win big in Canadian Tire gift cards! Watch online with Cabin Radio NWT as the ducks take on Cameron Falls...and support NWT school food programs at the same time!
Schools around the NWT have been hard at work continuing to provide food to their students in need since schools closed due to COVID-19.
At Mezi Community School in Whati, staff has been delivering food hampers to families in the community, providing food security and maintaining a connection with students: "As people who work at school we miss our students. Delivering food hampers allowed us to see and communicate with the families of our students. Delivering food to their doors also means that we are creating positive bonds between the school and community which is amazing!"
Thanks to Breakfast Club of Canada / Club des petits déjeuners for supporting this initiative along with many others throughout the NWT. #LocalHeroes #BreakfastClubCanada
