Sioux Lookout positives

Here’s some good news!

Let’s push negativity aside and look at what’s going right in our neck of the woods.

Here are a couple of things to make us smile today:

Huge news out of Sioux Lookout!! The Sioux Lookout Food Bank just landed a massive $500,000 grant from the province. They are going to build a brand new, 3,000-square-foot facility! This means more space, better food selection, and more dignity for those in the Sioux Lookout area who need a helping hand. That is a massive win for the ‘Hub of the North.’

A quick shout-out to the Ojibway Power Toboggan Association. Their recent Pink Warrior Run was a smashing success, raising over $10,400 for the Meno Ya Win Health Centre Foundation. That money is going directly toward a new mammography machine. Way to go, Sioux Lookout!

And that is…… ‘Good News’—because your day could always use a little goodness! 

What’s your good news today?  If you’ve got your own good news—maybe one of your kids did something special for someone or you saw a robin—text the details to the TbayTel Talk and Text Line at 807-223-5215.

OR send an email with the details to:
