Ottawa Residents Donate Equipment to NW Ont. First Nations


Youth at four First Nations around Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls are benefiting from a large donation of sports equipment from residents of Ottawa.

A truck load of equipment was distributed yesterday to children at Whitefish Bay, Northwest Angle #33 and #37 and Onigaming.

Peter White, an elder at Whitefish Bay, says it's a great gift.

White, along with former president of the Metis Nation of Ontario, Tony Belcourt, helped organize the drive.
