In Canada, part of Yellowknife’s Franklin Avenue was closed to traffic to make way for École St Patrick High School’s annual donation to the Salvation Army food bank, in -31C weather. Students sang Christmas carols as they formed a human chain to pass boxes of food from the back door of the school gym, across Franklin Avenue and through the front door of the Salvation Army, to deliver 4000 to 5000 pounds of food. The initiative, which featured 200 to 300 students, was organized by the school’s Interact Club, which runs food and clothing drives throughout the year. “We know how big food insecurity is in the North and especially around the holidays, it can be quite tough,” said Grade 12 student Malaika Mirza, co-president of the club.
