Iqaluit service clubs come through once again

Last year, the Nunavut Hearing Impaired Charity Organization asked for help from various groups and organizations to raise money to purchase and install sound field systems in some area schools.

Well, I did the same this year, and thanks to the generosity of the service clubs of Iqaluit and a few private donors, I was able to order 26 more sound field systems at a cost of approximately $32,000 plus shipping.

At present we’re a little short, but I’m sure we’ll manage to raise enough to cover the cost of shipping the units from Toronto, Ontario, up to Iqaluit and points north.

Once again, thank you to the B.P.O. Elks, the Royal Order of Purple, the Royal Canadian Legion branch 168 and to the Rotary Club of Iqaluit.

You take enough thumping throughout the year. I hope a little bit of pumping helps out.
