This year marks our fifth annual staff and volunteer AGO Gives Back Holiday Drive! We will be supporting Fort Frances High School, one of the schools that participated in Connected North, by collecting new, unwrapped art supplies to support the school’s art program. Connected North fosters student engagement and enhanced education outcomes in remote Indigenous communities.

Come out and enjoy a special holiday edition of Coffee & Conversations in December, where you can drop off your donation and enjoy some festive treats. Don’t have time to shop? Donate cash instead! The AGO Gives Back team will make a group purchase. Simply drop cash donations with Akilah Child by December 19.

Date: Wednesday, December 19

Time: 9:30 to 10:30 am

Location: cafeAGO
