Hockey in Iqaluit received a boost Nov. 5, when the RCMP Foundation presented a $2,500 cheque to the Iqaluit Amateur Hockey Association for its girls hockey program. Cpl. Yvonne Niego of the Iqaluit RCMP detachment had asked for some help to develop the girls hockey program in co-operation with IAHA and other partners, a Nov. 8 RCMP news release says. Here Sgt. Kim Melenchuk of the Iqaluit RCMP detachment, to the left, stands with the hockey program’s players and coaches, who are displaying a giant-sized image of the cheque. (PHOTO COURTESY OF APTN)
