Iqaluit youth honoured by mayor

Iqaluit Mayor Kenny Bell presented Amarinda Inga Alainga with a local hero award during Tuesday night’s city council meeting. “This young lady took it upon herself and raised money for other kids to be able to get a pass to the aquatic centre,” said Bell. The newly created award recognizes those who are selflessly filling a community need and making a difference in the lives of vulnerable or marginalized groups. (Photo by Dustin Patar)
