The group has been learning about healthy food while cooking together and afterwards, sitting down to enjoy a meal. The program, run by Ilitaqsiniq, the Nunavut Literacy Council, is also hosting a Qamusiurniq program in town where residents are learning to build a qamutik. (Photo courtesy of Adriana Kusugak)
Lucky Baker Lake residents were treated to caribou stew and fresh bannock last week when Annie Anautalik (left) and Aliyak Innakatsik (right) handed out food at the local Northern and Co-op stores. The initiative was run on Oct. 7 to promote the Baker Lake Prenatal Nutrition Project’s programming, which is starting back up after a pandemic-related break in in-person classes. The organization helps expectant mothers and new mothers have healthy pregnancies and babies through educational programming. “[The ladies] attracted the attention of many Baker Lakers who came to get a taste of the food and learn about our program,” Valerie Dorey, the program coordinator said. “A delicious success for everyone,” she said.

Hundreds of Rankin Inlet residents gather at an arena-naming ceremony on Wednesday. Darren Flynn, the hamlet’s senior administrative officer, said the event, which included a community barbecue, bouncy houses and over $30,000 in prizes to be won — like an ATV — exceeded expectations. The arena was named Agnico Eagle Arena, after the mining company that has signed a 10-year agreement to contribute $50,000 annually to the hamlet, Flynn said. (Photo by Pam Simons)
