A group of youth and instructors pose outside of Iguarsivik school in Puvirnituq July 7 after wrapping up this summer’s CIRQINIQ camp in the Hudson Bay community. Nunavik’s social circus program, modeled after Cirque du Soleil’s Cirque du Monde project for youth at risk, teaches acrobatics, aerials and clowning to Nunavimmiut youth, while recruiting and training local youth instructors. The program is now in its fifth year. (PHOTO BY KARIN KETTLER)
