The Ontario SPCA is calling it the largest in-kind donation they’ve ever received.
Over 28,000 pounds of pet food has been donated by Rolf Hagen, a pet food manufacturer.
Daryl Vaillancourt from the SPCA says the dog food is now being flown into several remote first nation communities by North Star Air.
He says they understand accessing food is a real challenge for many fly-in communities, which he claims may pay up to $90 for a bag of dog food.
Vaillancourt says the dog food was initially shipped via CN rail to Winnipeg and then trucked up to Pickle Lake. (File Photo)
