North of 60

The North of 60 Project, led by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, combats food insecurity and supports community development in remote Arctic regions. Despite challenges like river transportation disruptions in 2024, the project has sustained its efforts through donor support, fostering resilience and hope in nine communities while planning future initiatives to enhance their well-being.

Peter Ouellette offers the Western Region North of 60 Project 2023 Annual Report.

This project is managed by a team of SSVP volunteers. There are no paid employees. Team members are assigned a community. They work with members of their own parish to learn about the needs of those living in a specific Arctic Community.

Ten years ago, Western Region of Society of Saint Vincent de Paul took on the challenge to assist those in need living in Arctic Canada.
