One sweet Christmas tradition
Famed Nunavik bush pilot Johnny May helps Santa Claus drop candy over Kuujjuaq on Christmas Day—a tradition he’s carried out for more than 50 years. The staff at Nunasiaq News wish our readers a happy new year. Our offices will be closed on New Year’s Day. We’ll resume publishing on Thursday, Jan. 2. (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)
CBC Gem has a great little animated film based on Johnny May’s candy drop. Family, about 22 min. long, extremely well done. https://gem.cbc.ca/media/everything-indigenous/season-1/episode-4/38e815a-00d688786cd
Yes indeed , a great of the greats. But the candy drop has turned into a 45000 dollars material throw waste. That combined with the material being fought over by the attendees. Johnny may had nothing to do with the life of the materialistic that took on, but we need to be aware that it has happened.
