At École Saint-Joseph in Blind River, several girls in Grades 6, 7 and 8 are proud participants in the school’s FitSpirit Club under the guidance of teacher Heather Roberts.
Sophie Azzi, a former student at École Saint-Joseph and ÉSC Jeunesse-Nord says she was inspired by her past participation in the FitSpirit Club and took the initiative of supporting the young students by organizing a five-kilometre run in the community of Blind River.
She says the race that took place yesterday afternoon at the Blind River Boom Camp had 34 participants who raised just over $900 to go towards supporting the women shelters in Mississauga First Nation and Elliot Lake.
