With only three days notice, 52 volunteers from St. Giles, Ottawa, provided dinner for 250 Kashechewan Cree, who had been evacuated from their James Bay homes. "We heard some of their impressions of Ottawa," writes Jean Currie. "'Everything is tall, the buildings and the trees are so high. Escalators and elevators are fun. Everything is so cheap, in Ottawa you can buy a newspaper for a dollar!' One lad wanted to go home because he missed his dad who had remained on the reserve."
