Norway House, MB Dental Initiative with the University of Manitoba

Fall, 2008

$10,000 sponsorship: The Northwest Company joined forces with Variety, the Children's Charity of Manitoba and the University of Manitoba to bring better quality dental care to the children of Norway House by providing free check- ups and fluoride treatments at a state-of- the-art clinic. The Northern Store and The Northwest Company provided a custom rewards program for children who demonstrated consistent improvement in their oral care. Over a 6-month period, the children can earn points toward a Northern Store gift card to purchase a gift of their choice. The program launched in the fall of 2008 and will continue through 2009.
