Michael Foote, with the 1st Patrol Group of the Canadian Rangers, dons polar bear pants Tuesday during Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to Iqaluit. Foote purchased the hide from a hunter in Kinngait, scraped and tanned it, and designed the pants pattern. He also made a neck warmer and mitts from the fur. They serve him well in the field but spring temperatures hovering around -17 C to -27 C this time of year are getting too warm to wear the gear, he said. (Photo by Daron Letts)
