Coming to you live from Pangnirtung!

Karen Alivaktuk broadcasts a public service announcement Tuesday as a host on Pangnirtung’s community radio station. Formerly a weekend host, Alivaktuk recently switched to hosting her show on weekdays. She reads announcements and invites community members to come on-air to read their own well-wishes. Other hosts at the radio station call bingo games over the airwaves for their listeners to play at home. (Photo by Daron Letts)
