Some 329 teachers from schools across the Qikiqtani region – from as far north as Grise Fiord to Nunavut’s most southerly hamlet, Sanikiluaq – gathered for five days of workshops and presentations centred on themes of literacy and cultural development, Prusky said. The conference wraps up Feb. 20. (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
