Gjoa Haven elders gathered for a Christmas breakfast on Wednesday. The group of 26 spent time together over hashbrown casserole, French toast casserole, blueberry muffins, yogurt parfaits, mini quiches and sandwiches, all prepared by Quickstop manager Gail McSheffery. The event was held at the Northern store and plates were delivered to six elders who weren’t able to attend. “Seeing the elders and being able to spend some time with them and being able to do something for them was truly heartwarming and an absolute joy,” said organizer Farzana Sahadat, who hopes it will become a yearly event.
