A new generator for Pangnirtung: a Sikorsky S-64F Skycrane arrives in Pangnirtung April 17 with one of the four new generators earmarked for this community whose power plant burned down April 3. The 70-foot-long twin-engine helicopter which arrived in Iqaluit April 13, is capable of carrying up to 20,000 pounds, and will be used to transport all the new generators to Pangnirtung. Meanwhile, Pangnirtung remains under a local state of emergency although emergency back-up power was restored April 6. (PHOTO BY MADELEINE QUMUATUQ)
