The Eenou-Eeyou Community Foundation is very pleased to again this year, receive donations from the employees of Newmont Éléonore for their Orange Shirt Day Fund. Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative day which raises awareness of individual, family and community intergenerational impacts of residential schools. The event is held each year on September 30 to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This year, over 100 Newmont Éléonore employees contributed almost $7,500, and the company has matched this amount for a total donation of $15,000. The mine’s team has once again chosen this meaningful way to show their continued support for the Crees of the region.

“The Eenou-Eeyou Community Foundation thanks Newmont Éléonore for their contribution in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” said Dr. Sarah Pash, Cree Foundation Chair. “We are grateful that Newmont Éléonore and its employees are honouring such a meaningful day that hits so close to home for our people. We thank Newmont Éléonore for choosing to support our Foundation.”
