In the spring of 2025, SSVP North of 60 Project volunteers from Holy Family Parish and St. Albert Parish, filled a sea container with donated food and goods for Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories. Community members and supporters participated generously. The 3400 km shipment was trucked to the Tuktoyaktuk port, then loaded onto a marine barge.
Two unprecedented storms hit the Arctic coastal communities of Tuktoyaktuk, Ulukhaktok, Paulatuk, and Sachs Harbour in the late summer, delaying the barge’s arrival to Ulukhaktok to September 10. The barge arrives once a year. For the rest of the year, supplies and fresh produce are flown in.
