Arctic Bay residents get schooled in wilderness First Aid during a Nunavut Tourism-sponsored course which unfolded in that North Baffin community Feb. 2 to Feb. 6. Local residents, especially those involved with Arctic Bay’s Search and Rescue squad and Arctic Bay Adventures Ltd., learned what to do on the land if someone is injured or ill. Instructor Louis-Philip Pothier debriefs the group after an emergency scenario. From left: Moses Koonoo, Norman Pauloosie, Roland Taqtu, Pothier, Jonah Oyukuluk and Silas Akikuluk.
