Meet the staff helping to grow Arviat’s greenhouse project this summer: from left, Andrew Kuksuk, Joe Curley, Megan Gavin, coordinator Shirin Nuesslein and Ancilla Irkok. As part of the Kivalliq community’s wider wellness project, the group is experimenting with different soil and plant varieties this summer to see what works best. The goal is to help develop a new local food source, and promote fresh produce as a meal option for young Arviammiut. Read more about the project at Nunatsiaqonline.ca.
