NTI hosts country food giveaway
Mary Angmarlik, a governance co-ordinator with Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., bags some maktaaq on Thursday afternoon as part of a country food giveaway in Iqaluit. NTI hosted the event with the Iqaluit Hunters and Trappers Association as part of its board of directors meeting, which wrapped up Wednesday. NTI often hosts giveaways in communities where meetings take place, according to Angmarlik. All of the fish NTI had brought was gone within minutes, and the maktaaq was claimed quickly by residents who came ready with their shopping bags. (Photo by Jeff Pelletier)

Cruisin’ for a snack
The National Geographic Resolution sailed to Gjoa Haven on Aug. 3 but its passengers didn’t just come to take in the hamlet’s sites. They brought food to share with the community. Hamlet resident Waylon Nahaglulik said the cruise dropped off around 25 to 30 boxes of chips, cookies, raisins, cereal, cocoa powder and various other snacks. Community members brought other food to share alongside the impromptu treats. Nahaglulik said it is rare to see cruise ships bring snacks to share with the communities they visit.
