Hudson's Bay is putting its money where its mouth is.

The Canadian department store is donating $1 million to support Indigenous communities across the country, the CBC reports.

The donation from the Hudson's Bay Foundation is part of the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund, which was inspired by singer-songwriter Downie's call to build a better Canada.
