Making sure all of Kugluktuk’s children and families are fed and receiving gifts at Christmas is a year-round volunteering and fundraising effort, says hamlet Coun. Nadene McMenemy.

McMenemy was recognized for her volunteer work earlier this month when she was presented the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers — an honour awarded by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.

“Her fundraising efforts contributed to a new dementia care facility in Yellowknife and ensured those in need in Kugluktuk received food and gifts during the Christmas season,” a description of McMenemy’s work, published on the Governor General’s website said.
