OPP to Deliver Donations

Family and Children Services for the Rainy River district has found some help in getting some 4,5000 kilograms of children clothing, diapers and food to donation Pikangikum First Nation.

Executive Director Vik Nowak says members of the Ontario Provincial Police have stepped forward with assistance to move the items.

"That's a tremendous relief," says Nowak. "because we were struggling trying to find someone who could get the donations right into the community. As you know, it's kinds of isolated and remote and the only way to get there in the winter time is by ice road or by plane."

Nowak says OPP will provide vehicles and personnel to help deliver the donations early in the new year.
