“There are a lot of Nunavummiut who want to move down south so they can go to work at the mine”
Underground haul-truck driver Katelyn Netser has her eye on Sept. 28: that’s when she returns to work again at Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.’s Meliadine gold mine in Nunavut.
“That’s no sunset!” writes Rankin Inlet photographer David Kakuktinniq. “That’s the moon over the horizon. Along with the beautiful northern lights/ᐊᒃᓴᕐᖕᓂᖅ outside of Rankin Inlet, #Nunavut.” The moon appears so bright because of the long exposure used to capture the northern lights in the shot, taken on Aug. 28. We wish our readers a happy and peaceful Labour Day weekend. The offices of Nunatsiaq News will be closed on Monday. (Photo by David Kakuktinniq)
