No one needed to ask, “What’s for dessert?” in Igloolik on Saturday.
“Pie” was the obvious answer for a lot of people.
The hamlet’s chief administrative officer George Qaunaq, Sivuniit Middle School teacher KT Melanson, and resident Melvin Taqquagaq were among the targets in a pie-throwing fundraiser that raised $1,400 for the school.
For $20 a throw, people lined up for the chance to hit someone in the face with a pie.
