Kangirsuk’s Makitautik halfway house is a place with a view — not bars. In 2006 Makitautik halfway house in Kangirsuk moved into its $3-million home, located in the Ungava Bay community of 470. To be referred to Makitautik, an offender must be on parole or serving a conditional sentence of less than two years. At Makitautik, residents given the tools they need to keep out of trouble, says the halfway house’s director Zebedee Annahatak. (PHOTO BY JANE GEORGE)
