Arctic Bay elders, served by local youth, enjoy a meal, entertainment and community presentations in honour of the United Nations’ International Day of Older Persons Oct. 1 — a day set aside for communities the world over to pay tribute to their elders. In Arctic Bay, elders enjoyed caribou stew and snacks, throat singing by Inga Muckpa and Molly Oyukuluk and presentations on elder abuse and mental health by RCMP members and healthcare workers.
