St. Anne Elementary School and The Art For Aid Project Helping Art In Remote Communities

Colleen Gray and a few of the staff from St. Anne's who are involved in shipping useful items to Pang.

May 2017

St. Anne's Catholic School in Ottawa generously offered us some space in their wonderful shipment going to Alookie School in Pangnirtung Nunavut in support of their community.
The Grade 2 teachers involved in this project are Catherine Latour, Lisa Chow, Michelle Walker, Ben Spindler, and Carolyn St. Louis.

The book, My Community was created by the school and used as a fundraiser to support the costs of this project.

Thank you Carolyn for this gift!
