Greenhouse program helps grow young gardeners
Alec Nichol, 9, gets his green thumb on with help from Nancy Fynn-Sackey during the Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society’s regular youth program. Held each Sunday afternoon, the program allows youngsters to get their hands dirty working in the gardens in the greenhouse and take home what they harvest. Fynn-Sackey is a board member with the greenhouse society, which also hosts weekly Wednesday harvest nights starting at approximately 5:30 p.m. where people can take home the vegetables they pick.

Amazing stuff Tony !
Who is Tony? I don’t see a Tony mentioned in the article.
Arviat did the same and only use it for the that 1 summer now there all gone most of it to the dump.
Yup same with one in igloolik I bet. Should use it to grow weed then people might wanna keep it running I guess?
Repulse not igloolik. Cost like $300k to build too
Kugluktuk as well. Over $300k wasted. Was supposed to be an educational project in partnership with the school, but all it turned out to be was a short lived side gig for a few teachers.
be proactive then and take the reins … lead by example and operate the green houses. Family Services has grants for food insecurity initiatives
The greenhouse in Iqaluit is different from the ones in these communities because the one in Iqaluit was developed and is run by people living here. It has been running for many years now. I understand the ones in the communities was developed by people from away. Quite different context.
