Three students from E.S.S. came to teach us a lesson on what the costs of foods are in Churchill compared to the cost of food in Winnipeg. It was very interesting and fun to participate in. We were divided into 4 groups and were instructed to follow the Canada Food Guide. Two groups went shopping in the south and two groups went shopping in the north. The two groups shopping in the north were given $100 to spend and they quickly realized that they couldn't buy very much for that amount. The two groups shopping in the south were also given $100 and were able to buy all the items on their list plus some extra treats. The cost of groceries in the north is very high compared to the south. Amy, Mikayla and Madeline made us aware that if we can come up with solutions to assist the families in the north, it would help them tremendously. At the end of the activity the girls handed out brochures that we took home, so we can make our

families aware of the problem as well.
