I was able to get this tub at Food Basics since it was on sale. I'm absolutely hooked on this flavour, it's full of peanut butter, cookie dough, and brownie chunks it's such a good combo.

I paid $6 for this 1.5L tub, but I think the regular price is around $7.50

Healthy food is hard to come by in northern Manitoba. Food shipped from the south is prohibitively expensive and is often stale, and the climate and soil in the region don’t support much traditional outdoor farming.

This issue disproportionately impacts northern Indigenous communities, many of which have moved away from traditional food practices, creating a supply problem with far-reaching health consequences.

The Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN), located south of Flin Flon near the Saskatchewan border, has taken bold steps to address diabetes and other health challenges facing its residents.

According to the OCN Health Authority, more than 40 per cent of adults in the community live with hypertension and diabetes. The implications of this epidemic are profound: not only are health-care costs soaring, but resources that could be allocated to other critical areas, such as infrastructure and education, are being diverted to manage the growing health crisis. In response, OCN has made improved access to nutritious foods a priority.

In 2016, the community launched a smart vertical farm (SVF), a cutting-edge indoor facility designed to grow fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs year-round. The SVF employs computer-controlled smart technology that optimizes growing conditions by adjusting factors such as light, humidity and CO2 levels, and nutrient delivery. This advanced system ensures that the farm produces high-quality produce, despite the harsh northern climate.

There's no longer a need to support HH if you want to help Canadian companies. You can support Arc'teryx as an alternative.

Scotts shop towels (the blue rolls) are American, and that seems to be all that's sold around here, including at Canadian Tire.

Any alternatives? I already use reusable rags, buy I need something disposable and also stronger than paper towels.
