Celestino Urayak, 60, wants to form a radio committee that would oversee the operations and management of Igloolik’s community radio station, which is currently run by the hamlet council. Urayak, a former hamlet mayor, says a dedicated radio society will help update the station’s technology and provide better community programming for elders and children.
