Starting as a small community club, climbers now branching out to hills across Quebec
Samwillie Tullaugak and Daniel Samisack found their passion for rock climbing during a class in Inukjuak. With fellow climber Audrey Haché, they convinced the municipality to provide funding to create a climbing cliff.

Aupalu was one of several young Junior Rangers from Nunavik to earn a medal last week at Camp OKPIAPIK in Valcartier, Que. The camp, which wrapped up July 1, marked the 25 anniversary of the Junior Canadian Rangers. The program operates in 36 northern Quebec communities, and teaches young people military, leadership, and traditional on-the-land skills. (Photo courtesy of Master Cpl.
