Photo: Drum dancing for Jim Balsillie in Cambridge Bay

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Cambridge Bay elder Mary Kilaodluk drums and sings for friends and visitors, including former BlackBerry CEO Jim Balsillie, seated, far left, during a feast April 17 in that Kitikmeot community in the Luke Novoligak community hall. The event was organized by the Arctic Research Foundation, a body founded by Balsillie to provide leadership and hardware in the search for the sunken Franklin ships HMS Erebus, which was found near Cambridge Bay in September 2014, and the HMS Terror, still at large on the sea bottom. Instrumental in that effort was the ARF's contribution to retrofitting the 64-foot Martin Bergmann research vessel which served as home base for Parks Canada and Navy personnel during the search.
