QIA sprinkles money on youth

The Qikiqtani Inuit Association went on a small spending spree this week, sprinkling money among youth groups in three communities.

The organization announced the following handouts:

$10,000 to a youth sewing program in Iqaluit;
$10,000 to a youth sewing program in Pangnirtung;
$45,000 to a youth camping program in Pangnirtung;
$45,000 to a youth camping program in Arctic Bay.
The money for youth camping is redirected from a Heritage Canada scheme called the “Urban Multi-Purpose Aboriginal Youth Centre Program.”
