We are thrilled to announce that the response to the I Love First Peoples shoebox campaign has been so great that the organization has decided to EXTEND the donation deadline to December 15th!
Remember, it takes only five EASY steps to participate:
- Fill a shoebox with educational toys and warm winter supplies: books, math games, arts and craft supplies, toys, card games, hats, mittens, socks, paint and brushes, modelling clay, fancy markers, beading kits, bells, etc.
- Mark the box with the following info: Gender (Girl, Boy, Neutral) and Age (3-5, 6-8, 9-12, 13-16)
- Write a note to the child with a positive message of friendship.
- Include $5 in the box to cover the cost of transporting the gifts along the ice road to the Kashechewan First Nation Reserve
- Drop your filled box off to the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre by December 15th no later than 4:30pm (we're at Lakeshore campus in the Student Welcome and Resource Centre: WEL-104)
