We love MEC!

A HUGE thank you to Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) for their generous donation of 17 pairs of snow shoes for Mikisew High School in Cross Lake, MB. We are thrilled to be able to take these snow shoes up to Mikisew School next week when we travel to the community with 12 students from Toronto. Thank you Jim Adams and Sean McSweeney for making this happen. It's always amazing the connections people have to Cross Lake. How likely is it that Jim Adams working at Mountain at MEC has been to Cross Lake!

Now, we just need to figure out how to pack them?

They are all different sizes which is amazing! Again, we can't thank you enough! 

We wanted to include a photo of Jim Adams with all of these wonderful snow shoes, but he declined. In his words, "I'm shy, like most of my people, Cree people." 

Thank you again MEC, this is truly amazing. We are hoping to be able to check them in large duffle bags and bring them with us next week.
