SOMBA K'E/YELLOWKNIFE - The social justice coalition Alternatives North has been making life easier for some, and uncomfortable for others, according to a raft of speakers at the 17th anniversary get together last Friday.
Union of Northern Workers president Todd Parsons said he would struggle to cope with his workload if it were not for the volunteer organization.
"I could not do all this work by myself - and because Alternatives North exists - I don't have to," he said.
