Pang student recognized for poster

Daniel Keenainak of Attagoyuk School in Pangnirtung is the territorial winner in Health Canada’s fourth Canadian National Immunization Poster Competition.

The contest, open to Grade 6 students across Canada, is organized every two years by Health Canada’s Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control in partnership with the Canadian Immunization Awareness Program.

The competition is designed to help students recognize and understand the impact immunization has on the health and well being of Canadian children.

Posters were judged on creativity, brightness and how well the image of child health and immunization was projected. All winning posters can be viewed at the Canadian Immunization Awareness Program’s Web site at www.immunize.cpha.ca/english/gallery.htm.
