Representatives from Food Banks Canada are visiting two Beaufort Delta communities to examine the potential for developing food banks in the region.
Jay Stevens, a program officer at the national charity, said discussions with local leaders have been ongoing for months in the hope of “developing a concrete system for the communities.”
Stevens said the goal is to establish food banks in each community within the Beaufort Delta. This week’s trip to Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk is designed to initiate that process.
