Dan Howlett, director of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, and Andy Dabydeen, Canadian Tire Product Stewardship Manager, prepare supplies to be sent to the the James Bay area, including the Attawapiskat and Kashechewan First Nation communities. Canadian Tire Jumpstart has been working with these communities for the past year and is stepping up their relief efforts by donating 600 pairs of footwear, 550 pieces of outerwear, 300 flashlights, and other gifts, which were sent almost 700 km to the affected areas.
