A final tribute to longtime Baker Lake driver

Four water trucks, four sewage trucks and a garbage truck line up in Baker Lake on April 4 to honour longtime driver Hugh Avatituq, 77, who died March 24. Avatituq started working with the hamlet in 1991, driving garbage trucks and water trucks before joining the sewage fleet, his daughter, Amy Avatituq, said. When he retired in 2022, his fellow workers organized a truck parade in his honour; this lineup serves as a final salute from the fleet he loved. (Photo courtesy of Dannekay Inukpak)
