Project North
Kino is helping two of our division Outreach students to fundraise for an amazing initiative that they started last year called Project North.
Cola and Jeric were inspired by Constable McKay and his drive's to bring Christmas gifts to a few of the most remote communities in the NWT and decided to get our school division involved. Last year they beat their goal of 20 boxes and sent a total of 400 boxes of childrens gifts to the boys and girls of Hall Beach community. This year they have a goal of 600 boxes and will be flying out themselves to hand deliver the packages--a once in a lifetime opportunity!
We are hoping to help them out by donating as many items as possible to fill as many boxes as we can. They are looking for donations suited to both boys and girls from K-12 and seniors as well. Some items that would work for donations are things like:
- toys
- toiletries
- socks and underwear
- candy
- art supplies
- small travel sized games
The boxes are about double the size of a shoe box so please make sure your donation items are not too big. Donations will be accepted from October 23-31 and can be brought to the boxes in the front foyer.
Thanks Kino community! We hope to help out as much as we can with this awesome project!
