Lawrence Wesley Education Centre at Cat Lake in Northern Ontario
IODE has “adopted” two elementary school classrooms in Cat Lake, Northern Ontario. Working closely with their teachers, we purchase and seek donations of educational supplies, sports equipment, books and warm clothing for the children in this remote Ojibway community.
The Cat Lake First Nation Reserve (population c. 600) is a 7000-year-old settlement situated some 180 kilometres north of Sioux Lookout on Ontario’s western boundary and is considered to be one of the province’s 31 very isolated communities.
