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.
