Fifteen Resolute Bay youth are sporting sunglasses thanks to an RCMP initiative.
Cpl. Brad Gregory, who arrived in the community as detachment commander a year ago, noticed that many youth didn't have eye protection despite 24 hours of daylight for three months of late spring and summer.
Gregory solicited donations from a Canadian-based sunglasses company. The donated pairs of sunglasses arrived on Tuesday.
Fifteen Resolute youth can put on a pair of sunglasses this summer as a result of a donation sought by the community's RCMP commanding officer.
