A generous donation for youth in Fort Hope First Nation.
Kenora MP Bob Nault has delivered new inflatable play structures for indoor and outdoor use, a giant kin ball and 20-new pairs of skates and helmets.
The money was raised by Janaki Mehta, a student at Sir John A. McDonald Secondary School in Waterloo,
Mehta was assisted by a group of student volunteers as well as the Canadian Tire JumpStart program.
Fort Hope lost its community centre to a fire last April, resulting in roughly $1-million in repairs.
Nault says the students in southern Ontario have demonstrated a tremendous sense of social conscious and extraordinary leadership skills.
He adds it was heartwarming to be in the remote northern community to see the children receive the donation.
I had a great time in Fort Hope FN. What a pleasure to see youth so excited when they saw the donations! https://t.co/l697Fp7pvQ #cdnpol pic.twitter.com/trwzMMpaTK
