Jessica Arychuk
My name is Jessica Arychuk and I am a Cree/Metis/Irish woman. My community work started with my late fiancee Cayden Carfrae . He welcomed me into his care package projects and we would do smaller projects on our own. After his passing I have continued his community work efforts in his honour to keep his memory alive.
Caydens Shoe Project
Caydens Shoe Project is a program that aims to serve low income indigenous youth by providing them a new pair of shoes and giving them the opportunity to customize them with an indigenous artist in hopes to empower them through culture and creativity going into their school year.
