A minor hockey team in Attawapiskat, Ontario has been given a boost in their fundraising efforts, thanks to a donation from The North West Company and the Attawapiskat Northern Store.

Gerald Landry, the Attawapiskat Northern Store manager, presented a donation of $2,000 to Jarrette Paul Martin, the captain of The Attawapiskat Midget Selects, on Feb. 22.

“Having these young men and women participate in hockey leads to a healthy lifestyle and builds character and leadership,” says Landry. “By supporting these activities, we as a business build stronger relationships with our community, and that in turn helps everyone.”
