Through the Northern Birthday Box Project, Greenwin Cares supports children living in remote northern communities—many of them Indigenous—by helping bring birthday celebrations to life where access to party supplies and special treats can be limited.
This month, we are excited to celebrate Hannah, who turns 7 on October 12.
Hannah is from Inukjuak, Quebec, a northern village located on Hudson Bay at the mouth of the Innuksuak River in Nunavik, in the Nord-du-Québec region of northern Quebec. Inukjuak has a population of 1,821, according to the 2021 Canadian Census. The community was formerly known as Port Harrison and was also historically spelled Inoucdjouac.
For her celebration, Hannah has chosen a surprise-themed birthday. Her box includes a variety of treats such as chocolates, candies, cake mix, icing, along with festive decorations to help make her birthday extra special.
The Northern Birthday Box Project goes beyond delivering gifts—it is about creating meaningful connections, honouring each child’s birthday, and nurturing a sense of community despite distance. Every child deserves to feel seen and celebrated on their special day.
Spreading joy, one celebration at a time.
