Youth of the North
In light of the events in Attawapiskat, a group of students and staff members from Ecole Secondaire Cochrane High School decided to do something to show their support for the youth in this community. Since the beginning of May, donations were collected, items were purchased, and mindful bottles were made in order to create a hope box for the Grades 7-12 youth of Attawapiskat. We also put together care packages for the younger students. This slideshow chronicles our journey.
