The Rotary Club of Yellowknife has gone above and beyond when it comes to beleaguered Fort Good Hope.

The organization, which initially budgeted $4,500 in donation spending for the Sahtu community hit hard by a COVID-19 outbreak, ended up exceeding estimated range with $7,548 overall.

Celestino Oh, president of the 37-member rotary club, assured Yellowknifer that the reserve in place is enough to SA国际影视传媒渁bsorb the excess over budget.SA国际影视传媒�

Fort Good Hope community leadership was SA国际影视传媒渧ery pleased to accept the donations on behalf of the community,SA国际影视传媒� said Oh.

SA国际影视传媒淭he biggest benefit was giving the community members and leadership our support during their difficult times; them knowing that people in the NWT/Canada were aware of the hardships they were going through and thinking of them was a boost to their confidence that they would be able to endure,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

The rotary clubSA国际影视传媒檚 donations have already been distributed among residents in need.

SA国际影视传媒淲e will continue to stay in touch with the community,SA国际影视传媒� said Oh. SA国际影视传媒淗owever, we donSA国际影视传媒檛 anticipate any more shipments. We also are staying up-to-date on the COVID situation in the territory and should we identify a need for donations to other communities, we will go back to the rotary membership to seek approval for more spending.SA国际影视传媒�
