The University of Winnipeg Eco-Kids summer camp is receiving $25,000 thanks to the Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation.

The summer camp — the largest day camp for children in the inner-city — will see 1,200 children participate in activities focusing on indigenous science this summer.

“We are grateful for the generosity of the Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation,” university president Lloyd Axworthy said in a statement today.
