As you've probably heard, the Attawapiskat community has called and been in an emergency state for the last few months despits having recieved $90 million in the last 5 years. Our community is in the process of donating and collecting various supplies and materials they need immediately and will be shipping those relief materials by Kepa to Val D'or, where they will be shipped by cargo plane to Attawapiskat. In a matter of 1.5-2 days, there are many boxes accumulated in the lobby of my workplace. It is heartwarming to see such generosity for First Nations people just across the James Bay from us.
Go Wemindji!
