Some homeless shelters in Montreal are serving up something familiar to their Inuit clients – seal meat.
It is on the menu at the Open Door, the Native Friendship Centre and the St. Michael Mission, Chez Doris and the Aboriginal Projects of Quebec.
Once in Montreal, many Inuit people are not used to certain foods. Organizers say it's a way to respect Inuit traditions.
The five shelters receive a frozen shipment every month, thanks to the Makivik Society, a group that represents some 10,000 Inuit people from Quebec and Canada.
There is only one government-certified supplier of seal meat in Quebec.
