Aupaluk mayor David Angutinguak, left, stands with Quebec’s minister of Aboriginal Affairs Geoffrey Kelley Oct. 15 in front of the community’s daycare, during a visit of Quebec ministers to Nunavik last week. The centre houses two school classrooms since the community’s Tarsakallak school was destroyed in a fire last March, while an old municipal office houses other classrooms. The Quebec government has committed $600,000 towards the construction of five more temporary classrooms and an exercise room in Aupaluk, to be used until a new school is built.
