Cambridge Bay became the eighth community supported through the Canada Goose Resource Centre Program. The seven others are Pond Inlet, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Pangnirtung, Cape Dorset, Iglulik and Kuujjuaq, Que.

Canada Goose stated that the programSA国际影视传媒檚 inception came in 2007 when Pond Inlet sewers Meeka Atagootak and Rebecca Killiktee visited the companySA国际影视传媒檚 factory in Toronto to demonstrate their traditional Inuit sewing methods. They asked if they could bring home some scraps of fabric to fashion parkas for family and friends.

Since that time close to two million metres of fabric have been donated, according to Canada Goose.

Gross said sheSA国际影视传媒檇 like to see the companySA国际影视传媒檚 representatives return to the community again someday.

SA国际影视传媒淭he partnership is there and we hope there can be more events happening in the future, different kinds of events, possibly,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檒l see whatSA国际影视传媒檚 in store, but weSA国际影视传媒檙e hopeful.SA国际影视传媒�
