Lake Country Co-op Donation to the Prince Albert Indian Metis Friendship Centre

Oct 25, 2021 | 8:54 AM

Lake Country Co-op recently donated more than $7,100 to La Ronge’s Kikinahk Friendship Centre and the Prince Albert Indian Métis Friendship Centre.

Lake Country Co-op held an orange button fundraiser in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. At each of its locations, customers had the opportunity to purchase a button for $2 with Co-op matching each donation.

“I think it was well received with everybody,” said assistant grocery manager Kirk Fedje based in La Ronge. “A lot of people came in and they wanted a whole bunch of buttons. I think the community got all behind it and we could have sold quite a bit more I think.”

Both friendship centres will receive a cheque for $3,553 with a presentation having already occurred in La Ronge on Wednesday.
