Cambridge Bay elders Bessie Pihuak Omilgoetok, left, and Mary Akariuk Kaotalok, who are both in their 80s, celebrate the return of the sun by following the same tradition that Omilgoetok learned from her grandparents, on Wednesday, Jan 13. “The practice is to have a drink of water to welcome and honour the sun so it always comes back and then throw the water towards the sun for it to return again,” the Pitquhirnikkut Ilihautiniq, or Kitikmeot Heritage Society, said in a social media post. “We do this in honour of our ancestors, traditions, culture and language. We will do this every year to keep this tradition going in celebration of who we are as a people: Inuinnaujugut.” (Image courtesy of Pitquhirnikkut Ilihautiniq / Kitikmeot Heritage Society)

Arviat residents gather on Friday, Jan. 8, to host a send-off parade for Dr. Carl Leroux, the doctor who works out of the community health centre, before he headed home to B.C. the same day. Typically, as part of his rotation, Dr. Leroux spends four to six weeks in Arviat at a time. When he last arrived in October, Dr. Leroux treated the first cases of COVID-19 in Arviat and decided to stay in the Kivalliq community through the outbreak, until the case count was back to zero. “We are very grateful that he decided to stay and help the medical team here in Arviat during the COVID-19 outbreak, which showed us he does care for the people of Arviat,” said Nataasha Hilu Komakjuak.
