6 remaining teams hit their start under blue skies
Mushers in the annual Ivakkak dogsled race got back into the swing of things Thursday after weather delays earlier in the week. This year’s Ivkkak race started March 18 in Akulivik with eight teams, but two have dropped out.
Students from Nuvviti School in Ivujivik sample training opportunities in areas such as driving, mechanics, construction and professional cooking during a recent trip to Inukjuak. They were there from Feb. 9 to 13 as part of their school’s the Pre-Work Training Program. The group also visited the Daniel Weetaluktuk Museum, which preserves and promotes Inuit culture and language, and were able to explore archeological and historical artifacts.
