Our mission is to provide and promote access to nutritional and affordable food to children and youth in Canada’s Far North.
We envision a Canada where all citizens have access to nutritional, affordable and culturally-appropriate food.
At the age of 17, Eva took a small step to act on the injustice of hunger in Nunavut. Surrounding herself with a strong team, she created a gently-used jewelry sale called All That Glam which has become an anticipated, annual event that has raised more than $130,000 to fund a sustainable, hot breakfast program in a Nunavut school of 250 students.
The confidence that Eva gained from that experience has propelled her to take on other challenges including an 8-month solo backpacking/working adventure in Australia, volunteering at an Indigeneous Women’s Shelter in Montreal, being selected as a Canadian delegate at the 2017 One Young World Summit and founding DueNORTH.
Eva is a McGill University graduate who majored in environmental sustainability and minored in indigenous studies. Eva might be found horseback riding, river surfing, rock-climbing or snowboarding in her spare time.
Working closely with her daughter Eva, Karen co-founded the successful All That Glam Fundraiser and currently chairs the DueNORTH board and the fundraising committee.
With over 20 years of experience in her own business as a private educator, the importance of literacy is fundamental to Karen. She feels strongly about proper nutrition and the impact that it can have on school attendance, motivation and literacy rates. Karen works throughout the year chairing the annual All That Glam event as well as speaking to groups and organizations about the prevalence of food insecurity in Nunavut.
An avid animal lover, Karen loves nothing more than riding her horse or going for long walks with her black Labrador.
Sue brings an abundance of business skills and experience to the Board, not only from her 25 years in high tech finance, but from the array of volunteer boards on which she has participated. Her efforts were instrumental in the launch of ShoeBank Canada in Ontario, an organization that delivers shoes to those in need in the Ottawa community and across Canada. Sue feels passionately about DueNORTH’s mission and is excited to be a part of the launch of the organization and its cause.
Sue enjoys spending her downtime with friends and family around the pool, and running about with her two new puppies.
As the owner of CommPassion Creative and having over 25 years experience in working with the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, Anna brings expertise in Aboriginal communications and language issues to the DueNORTH team. With a passion for helping those communities, she designs and produces culturally sensitive, health and educational focused publications and promotional collateral. She is particularly proud of the APTN logo (Aboriginal People’s Television Network) and, more recently, the design of the DueNORTH logo.
When not at her downtown studio, Anna can likely be found at her stone church studio in the country creating abstract acrylic paintings. Her passion for life finds its expression in the powerful hues of red, orange and yellow she favours.

All That Glam Wolfville is run by a group of Acadia University Students. Over a two year period, the students raised over $3000 for the Breakfast Club of Canada and DueNORTH.
We are honoured to introduce our first ever DueNORTH campus club at McGill University which is fundraising and helping us spread our mission. We are very grateful to have these young leaders on this journey with us.
