Canadian North Releases Short Film “Serving Communities with Care: 2021 Canadian North Toy Drive”

On December 14, 2021, Canadian North staff, Kimmirut Hamlet members, with the help of the Kimmirut RCMP, delivered joy in the form of toys to children in the community. The toys were delivered door-to-door from staff wearing personal protective equipment to ensure the safety of the community. Toy distributions within Taloyoak and Clyde River also took place during that week.

“There are communities where our people coach hockey, there’s communities where we teach kids about basically everything. In every community, we have somebody that does something for the kids. It’s inseparable.” Patrick Akpalialuk, Manager, Community Relations and Station, Kuujjuaq, based in Iqaluit.

We would like to invite you to watch the short film documenting the journey from Ottawa, Ontario to Kimmirut, Nunavut:

Serving Communities with Care: 2021 Canadian North Toy Drive

“Canadian North is full of caring and giving employees and we value all opportunities to be able to showcase this, especially while supporting our communities.” Chris Avery, CEO

“To be able to bring these toys to the children in our communities has been so wonderful and I can’t thank our employee group and Canada Goose enough for contributing and I hope we can do this for years to come.” Shelly De Caria, Sr. Director Sales and Community Investment

As the fourth year of this initiative, Canadian North staff and partners, including Canada Goose and Mastermind Toys, raised over $17,000 for the event, with the funds going towards purchasing new toys from Mastermind Toys in Ottawa, ON and Edmonton AB.
