The Remote Op Shop Project The Kaniva Op Shop is supporting The Remote OpShop Project to help provide clothing, shoes, and essential items to people living in remote communities across Australia. This is a great opportunity for our town to support those doing it tough in our own country. You can help by visiting the Kaniva Post Office and purchasing an extra-large Australia Post satchel for $23.35. Leave the satchel with Glen and Katrina at the counter, and we’ll collect it, fill it with suitable donated items, and send it to remote op shops in need.
