Skijoring into victory

Igimaq Williamson Bathory and his dog Kuku win the Toonik Tyme skijor race Wednesday with a dominant lead over their opponents. Around a dozen skiers, each accompanied by a dog, took part in the race through Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park, with several dozen spectators cheering them on. Toonik Tyme events continue Thursday with an elders’ fashion show and games. The weekend schedule is also packed with more games, dogsled and snowmobile races, and other activities. Sunday is the final day for this year’s Toonik Tyme. (Photo by Jeff Pelletier)
