Saskatoon Tribal Council Annual Back-to-School Carnival a HUGE Success with help from MERIT Members
The Annual Back-to-School Carnival is a multi-faceted event that brings the community together. The carnicval is held at White Buffalo Youth Lodge in Saskatoon. The main attraction of the day is the Nutrien Backpack Giveaway. Students from the ages of 5-17 are given new backpacks and school supplies, allowing them the opportunity to get excited for the start of school with new supplies. The backpack giveaway began 5 years ago handing out supplies to approximately 500 students. This year they gave away 2,500!
These seven MERIT members participated in the program through sponsorship and providing volunteers:

Our very own Member Services Coordinator, Brittany Kugler, volunteered at the Carnival as well and had great things to say about the event.
Great job to all MERIT members involved! It takes a community to help build future generations!
