When, in 2017, Amanda Amesse, our speaker, and her partner raised funds to ship medical supplies and mobility devices to the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority which served communities on the shores of James Bay she needed help. That's when she discovered True North Aid, an organization founded in 2009 serving indigenous communities across Canada's north “through community initiatives and supply programs.” With the support of The Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston she began her journey.

The Rotary Club of Cataraqui Kingston has agreed to be the International Partner on one of a pair of Rotary Global Grant Projects led by the Rotary Club of Muyenga in Uganda.
