Making a bike of his own

Laipa Kusugak, 11, fixes an abandoned bicycle he found near a playground in Iqaluit on Sept. 22. With his wrench, he’s trying to switch the troubled wheels for the ones on another broken bike of his. “We’ll see how it goes,” he said, adding he hopes to be able to ride this newly repaired bike as soon as possible.

Iqaluit students run for Terry Fox

Approximately 500 Iqaluit high school and middle school students join in the annual Terry Fox Run on Friday in honour of the Canadian cancer activist who died in 1981. Since his death, the Marathon of Hope that Fox started as a trek across the country has raised millions of dollars for cancer care and research. Iqaluit students ran from Aqsarniit Middle School to Inuksuk High School, making a four-kilometre loop around the city. The fastest runner reached the finish line in just above 15 minutes.
