The high prices of groceries in Nunavut, for example — $47 for a box of laundry detergent or $105 for a case of water — have drawn increasing outcry over the last few years. It was just shocking to see the prices they were paying for a head of cabbage or a flat of water, Gwilliam told The Huffington Post B.C. I was just appalled. Its hard enough to make ends meet down here, let alone with those sort of prices. So I wanted to do something. After doing some digging, Gwilliam came across the Facebook group Feeding My Family, designed to raise awareness about the northern crisis and advocate for change. But she wanted to turn outrage into action, so she started her own Facebook group, Helping Our Northern Neighbours, last summer. huffingtonpost.ca/…/bc-woman-northern-food-crisi…
