Residents of Sault Ste. Marie and other cities containing a Kewadin Casinos location will have the chance to participate in a monthlong canned food drive in November.
For several decades, Kewadin Casinos has been hosting a yearly can-a-thon food drive at each of its five locations. Local people from Sault Ste. Marie, St. Ignace, Manistique, Christmas and Hessel will all have the opportunity this month to stop by their local Kewadin Casino and contribute to a local food pantry.
While there is no record of the first can-a-thon that Kewadin hosted, the event has been a yearly occurrence since the 1990s.
