Admission was a monetary donation for the food bank which raised approximately $300 cash in addition to two large, garbage can size, bins of non-perishable food. The Pic Mobert First Nations Food Bank will have its Grand re-Opening, as part of the new Pic Mobert Health Centre, this morning, Thursday, July 28^th.

Throughout the week there have been community meals, a spaghetti supper, community breakfasts, Sunrise Ceremonies, family and children’s games, Teaching Circles and much more.

Community week comes to a head this weekend, culminating with Mobert’s Annual Pow Wow. Now in its 24^th year, the Pow Wow is a great family weekend celebrating tradition and culture. All are welcome to the Pow Wow, if traveling East from Thunder Bay, the Pow Wow Campgrounds are left off Hwy 17, just minutes past the Pic Mobert First Nations turn off, watch for the billboards on Hwy 17 at the campground entrance.
