Allen King Memorial Walk held at Iakhihsohtha

Iakhihsohtha Residents and staff would like to send out a great big Niawen:kowa to the community for the show of support during our recent fundraiser the “Allen King Memorial Walk”. The walkers raised a total of $18,399.00 which will be used for Christmas gifts for the residents, a new hair salon renovation project, entertainment and activities that will be happening throughout the year.

We would also like to acknowledge the Bank of Nova Scotia for the Community Partnerships program for allowing us to participate in the program. This partnership matches the funds raised up to $5,000.00 by Team Scotia Bank, the team consists of Diane Dupuis, Linda Paradis and Valerie Terrance.

Thank you to the “King Family”, who support us by their presence and fundraising along with the rest of the walkers to make this event successful.
