Cirqiniq is back in town! Capping off their two-week training session from October 31 to Nov. 11, 32 youth from Kuujjuaq perform Nov. 10 in the circus show called “Walking Tall.” Cirqiniq is a social circus program for youth, supported by the Kativik Regional Government in partnership with the Cirque du Soleil’s outreach program. Similar community training sessions also took place in Puvirnituq and Kangiqsualujjuaq. There novice circus performers also displayed their new circus skills to members of the public.
