All smiles

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shares a laugh with Arctic Bay elder Qappik Attagutsiak, who is 99, during a community feast on Thursday, Aug. 1, celebrating the completion of the Inuit impact and benefit agreement for the Tallurutiup Imanga national marine conservation area and the start of a process aimed at creating the 320,000-square-kilometre Tuvajuittuq marine protected area off northern Ellesmere Island. Ottawa will also spend $190 million on small craft harbours and job opportunities, including an Inuit environmental stewardship program for the five communities affected by the creation of Tallurutiup Imanga.
