Rotary District 7090 has offered much support to the Indigenous Peoples situation as coordinated by their Honouring Indigenous Peoples (HIP) program.
One focus of those efforts is at the northern Ontario, First Nation of Pikangikum.
Over the years, many service initiatives (as coordinated by Jim and Marjorie Dawson at the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise) have supported the Pikangikum peoples including helping to purchase the original bike trailer. Jim and Marjorie (along with other adventuresome Sunrisers) also drove up the ice road to deliver bikes and hockey supplies a few years ago.
The ice road challenge is a fundraiser to support the ongoing work of the bike club in Pikangikum and the linked video gives an excellent look at the project and some great clips of the people and kids involved. People gather sponsors and then challenge themselves to ride on the Ice Road into Pikangikum in mid winter.
Do you feel like you might want to or be able to contribute to the aims set out in this video?
