A high school student\u2019s efforts have brought a community fridge to a high school in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Stevie Lawrence, a Grade 11 student from Duncan\u2019s First Nation, received the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation\u2019s \u201cImagine a Canada\u201d grant in June after submitting an essay about her idea of bringing her community fridge to the Victoria School of the Arts in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

With the $1,500 grant, the community fridge has been installed outside the school and Stevie hand painted the designs herself.<\/p>\n

Stevie says that she believes it will support the Indigenous and lower-income populations that reside in the area.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Stevie put her talents towards a different project by taking on the role of assistant director for the documentary \u201cRemembering the Children, the Red Deer Industrial School,\u201d and called it a \u201ctouching experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
