Maxim Participates in Food Delivery Across Ice Roads to Northern First Nations

Participants from Harvest Manitoba food bank, the Regional Food Distribution Association in Thunder Bay and Maxim Truck & Trailer teamed up to drive 3,000 kilometers across Canada’s ice roads to drop off 4,000 pounds worth of food in Shamattawa First Nation in Manitoba and in Fort Severn First Nation in northern Ontario.

"As soon as the food truck arrived, the people just started coming," said Glenda Flett, who has lived in Shamattawa First Nation since 2015.
