“The best part about Spirit North is the people. They’re all nice, they don’t judge anybody, and they make me so welcome.”
“Spirit North does a great job of exposing kids to different activities: kayaking or canoeing on lakes, mountain biking in the bush, Indigenous games like double ball, cross country skiing. These kids don’t have the opportunity to do them otherwise.”
