Ryan Reynolds has teamed up with Canada Goose, donating over 300 parka jackets and Baffin footwear to the students of Inuujaq School in Arctic Bay, Nunavut, after the frequency of shipments of supplies to arctic communities has been impacted by Covid-19.
The Canadian outwear brand has also pledged to donate thousands of repurposed parkas to Arctic communities annually, and the Deadpool star said 'It came to my attention students at Inuujaq School in Arctic Bay were going without adequate winter clothing. Of course, it highlights a larger issue of basic needs going unmet in Canada’s northern communities. I reached out to Canada Goose to match me in providing these students with essential winter gear. They not only said yes in under 30 seconds, but went so far above and beyond matching me. I’m deeply inspired and grateful'.
