Burst of berries

These red berries — or kimminait in Inuktitut — grow along the ground in Ippialuk, a few kilometres north of Kuujjuaq, in September. Fall is traditionally a good time of year to harvest the berries that grow all over the North. The weather around Kuujjuaq has been good for berry-picking with temperatures around 10 C in the first week of October. (Photo by Malaya Qaunirq Chapman, special to Nunatsiaq News)
