The Nain Recreation Department recently handed a cheque to the Nain CARE committee.
We spoke with Lisa Ivany the Rec Director for Nain Inuit Community Government.
She says on Monday during the Easter game events the Nain Recreation Dept generously donated $10 thousand dollars to help towards the Nain CARE.
Ivany adds that they also donated to the Nain Moravian Church with a new snow blower.
The Rec Department holds Radio bingos every Tuesday and Thursdays; and with funds from profits made by bingo this is a great way to help with many ongoing community events, to members and to organizations.
Ivany says the Rec Department wants to bring back into the community in different ways, here is a few to name:
Donations are given back to the community by the Rec Dept by helping our very own K-12 School Jens Haven Memorial Huskies, to the Nain Minor Hockey teams, to our JHMS Grad students, Community events such as Community breakfast, Hockey banquets, and youth/adult Christmas suppers, Christmas presents for daycare children, sponsoring sporting events, and many more.
On behalf of the Nain Inuit Community Government Rec Department they would like to thank the community for their support and to continue for supporting the Rec Bingo.
