The little engine that could

With just over 30,000 people living in Nunavut — many in isolated communities far away from one another — you’d expect that it might be difficult for people to fundraise successfully.

But once again Canada’s newest territory and the people living there have proven otherwise. In something reminiscent of the “little engine that could” story, 40 federal employees raised an amazing $$35,450 for this year’s Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC). That’s up from their first-ever GCWCC campaign last year, when 24 donors raised more than $19,000.

Congratulations, Nunavut, for another great GCWCC outcome!
