Tiny home wins Kuujjuaq recreation committee’s top prize

With a ban on big gatherings in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kuujjuaq’s recreation committee organized a decoration contest, asking residents to create an Indigenous-themed scene outside their home on Monday, June 22. The $1,000 first prize went to Mary Mosesiapik and Willie Sequaluk, seen here, who turned a dog house into a small cabin, complete with a small working wood stove on which they made tea. Beside it is a drying rack for nikkuk (dry meat) and pitsik (dry fish) and a small tupik, or tent, sewn from scratch. (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)
