Kitikmeot trade show a success

The 2005 Kitikmeot Trade Show, held in Cambridge Bay last week, attracted 40 exhibitors and 120 delegates – the highest number on record.

“That was extremely well received,” said mayor Terry McCallum. “We kind of have a higher mark to achieve to make it bigger and better.”

The show packed the local high school gym, and welcomed the teen-aged students.

“Many of them are our future business leaders,” said Cambridge Bay MLA Keith Peterson in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday.
