Sight of sea cans bobbing in the water in October was the very definition of a big, breaking news story
Iqalummiut race to pick up a hammer and then drive a nail into a wooden box, as close to 200 people packed into Nakasuk School in Iqaluit on Wednesday night for the annual Christmas games. For this event, people get in a circle and roll a dice. If the dice hit a certain number, participants have to run to the middle, grab the hammer and pound one of the nails into a wooden block. Kids played other games, including rolling a ball and trying to hit a lighter positioned about 10 metres away, and a paper airplane flying contest. The games started Dec. 23 and continue until Dec. 30 at Nakasuk School. (Photo by David Lochead)
