Wishing you a Holy and Merry Christmas, we invite you to celebrate great housing news with us! Above, you’re looking at some very happy Kitcisakik Algonquins in an almost completed new home. These first Canadians have lived for uncounted generations at Grand Lake Victoria in northwestern Quebec in Third Word conditions, without hydro or running water – total population 386. After decades of vain efforts to gain federal recognition as an Indian Reserve, Kitcisakik Chief Edmond Brazeau contacted Frontiers Foundation’s Quebec Field Co-ordinator Lylas Polson, an Algonquin himself. After three years of fruitless pleading for either or both Ottawa and Quebec dollars, Frontiers offered Kitcisakik the use of two of our Woodmizer portables to mill their own timber plus $64,000 for other materials and Lylas’ supervision. Then last February a splendid new partner joined the enterprise: Emergency Architects of Canada. This appropriately dedicated group has already provided volunteer architects, detailed house plans and $35,000 worth of donations for the first five homes.

In these difficult economic times, it is a more challenging than ever for those desperately in need of housing to get the help that they need. Your contribution to our Aboriginal voluntary service organization will be as faithfully applied as it is gratefully received. We will endeavour to continue toward our goal of solving the homelessness crisis in Canada.

Frontiers Foundation is holding its first National Gathering Dinner since the first Operation Beaver project back in 1964.
All our Directors, Field Co-ordinators including the new Manitoba team, plus an exciting number of our supporters and veteran volunteers will be in attendance.
As one who has made an enduring contribution to our kind of good news, we'd love to have you join us. There is no charge for the event, but of course donations will be joyfully received.
You can donate to Frontiers Foundation through CanadaHelps.org. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for every donation.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to volunteer with Operation Beaver in Northern Canadian aboriginal communities.
