Mild, sunny weather drew people outdoors in Kuujjuaq on Oct. 4, including women cleaning down in preparation for a fall parka-making workshop. Vicky Gordon, left, who is organizing the workshop on behalf of the Northern Village of Kuujjuaq, sits with apprentice Leah Pilurtuut to enjoy temperatures which climbed to 20 C on Sunday. The village is also offering a fall workshop on how to make an amautik. Contact Gordon at the Kuujjuaq village office if you are interested in learning how to make a down parka or amautik.
