A big food donation arrives just in time for Christmas in the western Nunavut community of Cambridge Bay, thanks to singer-songwriter Susan Aglukark’s Arctic Rose Project. Aglukark’s goal, through the Arctic Rose Project, is to supply the three regional food banks with regular, twice-monthly shipments of food from southern supermarkets throughout the year.
