A Northern First Nation will soon be home to a satellite Red Cross
office. The office is being funded in part by the Paterson Foundation
and will help provide first aid, injury prevention and other services to
First Nations Communities in the North. Red Cross Manager of First
Nations Projects Melanie Goodchild-Southwind says a specific community
has not been chosen yet but the process will soon start. The Paterson
Foundation is providing 200 thousand dollars over the next two years to finance the project.
