Johnny Issaluk prepares two contestants to give the head-pull a try at the Relay for Life fundraiser held July 20 by the Canadian Cancer Society at the Arctic Winter Games Arena in Iqaluit. More than 110 residents signed on for a day of walking and running around the indoor field in an all-day event that included demonstrations of zumba and hip-hop dance, yoga, and Inuit games. Funds raised at the event approached the goal of $40,000, which will go towards improving early detection of the disease in Iqaluit, organizers said. (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
