Thompson Local News

Project aimed at collecting new, brand named shoes for children and youth in Shamattawa is currently underway

The Sidney Project is a local initiative aimed at collecting new, brand-named shoes for students in Shamattawa First Nation.

 

Founder Carla Antichow says she got the idea after purchasing shoes for herself and thinking about ways to give back to the community, which is where her son is from.

 

Antichow says she’s already received donations of shoes and money for the initiative.

 

Here, Antichow shares how Thompsonites can reach her if they’d like to donate to the cause.

 

“They can call or text me, my number is 204-939-0843, or they can email thesidneyproject@yahoo.com. There is a Facebook page as well.”

 

Hear the full interview with Antichow on Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon.
