A group of Kuujjuammiut visit their town’s new power plant May 28. Hydro Quebec invited residents to visit the town’s new power plant on May 26, 27 and 28, drawing more than 100 visitors and 10 school groups to the facility during the three-day open house. “This outing helped develop an interest in science and stimulate students’ intellectual curiosity,” said Susie Koneak, principal of Kuujjuaq’s Pitakallak elementary school. Construction of plant, which opened in early 2011, began in 2007.
