200 families from Tataskweyak Cree Nation won’t get Christmas hampers after a funding request under Jordan’s Principle was denied by Indigenous Services Canada for not meeting their criteria. The hampers were cancelled after groceries had already been purchased, leaving an Inuk-owned company out $20,000.
