Project offers long-distance helping hand July 28, 2021
It began with Sr. Fay Trombley of Catholic Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception.
Upon settling into her new home of Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., over 15 years ago, she quickly noticed that this small hamlet nestled close to the Arctic Ocean perennially experienced shortages of food and goods.
She mobilized her contacts, particularly the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul (SSVP) in Alberta, to secure the items and funding to make a difference.
Her grassroots effort germinated into the SSVP North of 60 Project, an ambitious initiative executed by nine different parish teams, including eight in northern Alberta and one from Calgary. Each SSVP conference twins with a Northwest Territories municipality north of the 60th parallel as steep food and goods prices perpetrate impoverished conditions upon these communities.
