The school has installed a brand new viewing screen, measuring 18 feet by 13 feet. Drama teacher and play director Gord Billard said the screen will be used for multiple purposes. He said, in the past, films screened on movie night and video presentations made in the theatre were hindered by a very small screen. "We'll be able to move the projector way back with this new screen, and we also have a wicked sound system with brand-new speakers," said Billard. "So, we're going to be able to show a pretty decent movie here from now on."

Country food for all of Nunavut Kivalliq Arctic Foods on solid ground as new product released by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Rankin Inlet A renewed focus on the Nunavut market is proving itself to be a solid business move by the Rankin Inletbased Kivalliq Arctic Foods (KAF). The company is a subsidiary of the Nunavut Development Corp. (NDC), operating year-round with an average of nine full-time staff. It employs two or three additional workers during peak periods. KAF recently launched an updated version of a product line it introduced in December of 2012. The family pack has proven itself to be an extremely popular choice across Kivalliq and Nunavut. The latest family pack weighs in at more than seven kilograms and contains at least one sampling of every product available at the plant. For a cost of $250, including shipping to anywhere in Nunavut, the case consists of two kilograms of maktaaq, two kilograms of caribou stew cubes, four pounds of ground muskox, one kilogram of traditional pipsi, one kilogram of turbot fillets and 200 grams of candied char nuggets. Plant manager Todd Johnson said the company is trying to put as much reasonably-priced food into a family pack as possible. He said the goal is to see people take advantage of Kivalliq Arctic Food products, without having to buy a full case of one specific item. "We're also running a unique promotion in connection to the family pack," said Johnson. "Anyone who purchases one can then post their best turbot recipe to our Facebook page, and whoever gets the most likes for their recipe will win the prize. "The grand prize is a family pack, a full case of traditional pipsi, and a full case of caribou mikku. "We see it as a very nice prize package and hope our customers feel the same." Johnson said family packs have incredible potential to keep costs down and get country food into more Nunavut homes. He said the pack is showing itself to be a phenomenal marketing approach for the company. "They increase our visibility and get a good crossselection of product out. "The success of the product also provides benefits to hunters in our region. "We had seven hunters from Arviat and Whale Cove arrive with an abundance of caribou this past month. "We purchased every pound of tuktu they brought." KAF buys caribou from regional hunters every winter, from the beginning of November to the end of March. Johnson said if regional hunters can get the tuktu to the plant, the company will purchase it from them. He said November to March is used because outdoor temps have to be -18 C or colder to transport the meat. "The cold keeps the meat healthy and safe. "The hunters really appreciate the chance to earn income from their harvesting. "We still have a market outside of Nunavut, which we appreciate, but we're able to focus on the territory because there's enough demand for our products here now." NDC president Darrin Nichol said he's pleased with how much KAF product is being sold in Nunavut. He said NDC is all about supporting employment and income-earning opportunities in Nunavut. "Providing Kivalliq harvesters an opportunity to sell sustainable products to Kivalliq Arctic Foods under an established commercial quota system is important to us, as well as the guys who rely on it to generate additional income to support their harvesting endeavours," said Nichol. "The plant is busy and we appreciate and recognize the importance of putting this product back into the hands of Nunavummiut. "Our operation is proudly Nunavut. "It's about our territory, and recognizing some things are changing in that Nunavut is evolving and people are working, don't always have the time to harvest and find it expensive to hunt." Nichol said the family pack makes a basket of quality country food, processed by Inuit at the plant, available to people across the territory. He said running a processing facility in Nunavut is extremely costly and NDC is always revenue-challenged, but Kivalliq Arctic Foods is on solid footing as an NDC subsidiary company and there's no danger of the company closing its doors anytime soon. "We always hear about the cost of freight, in terms of bringing food into the North from the south. "But, what aren't discussed often are the overhead costs of power, fuel and local public utilities, which are very significant. "It's difficult to find a balance between putting stuff out there that's affordable, and trying to run an organization that generates enough revenue to cover all those costs. "It's an ongoing issue, but, when NDC assesses these things, we also look at what we're doing employment wise, and how we're advancing our programs at Kivalliq Arctic Foods to help support the hunters in our region." bf l A 79,Tā m4WZz 12 4 KIVALLIQ NEWS, Wednesday, January 28, 2015 news r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, /8kxE 28, 2015 mƬ¦k°z R[;6qKāRqāys_b#D@# ÿ<Gÿ@ām ù<ā[3[* omv3[* ù`B<m* ÿ<Gmāù!@ām ù<U3[* omv3[* 7EWùā@ām* 97 <UUPāNm bB<[* ÿNmG '@'^3 °¨¸¸ !%[3 !sWkmE ÿ<Gÿ@sN 3ā> !%3 3> E%[*> ÿ9oUāmGÿ>> 0.> q3s# <ù<*3 YUāmGmā> °¨¸¸ '@'^3 ,mL 5B k>RPm āk@āmm !smāN i^E@ām ÿ<Gm*3 .5 ÿ@ād^āB>3 ākUB>3 ÿ<GÿLk@sN$m 5m5 57<s3 * <ā G'#* ó5 ÿNk[3[*Nm 0.> ÿ975 .ÿsN# 5 57<93 ÿ@āN.N5 <mEmā7 ÿNW.N5 <.!āmGm3 RL"o3 āù[3 mù3[.ô ākUB>3 k>RPm óÿE.!B>! 5Yÿ āù[3 ÿ<Gmā> i^7[3mG, Hst[3mGā3[. .B> 57<93 0.> E> i^7mE3 N[7oE3> ÿ<GYEUGm óÿ. āmN# āPā3Y '@'^3 ,mL, NR u<, ÿ5s A[^u*ā5 ÿNmāN97[.t io ÿ@o93 ÿ<GÿLkW.B> óNR =NG3 ko93Ym ÿ.< <mEmāo>[> ÿ97ÿ ÿNW.N .3 ÿ<GÿL!N97[3[>! kāLG[3m#ô k>RPm 0.> .*s 3$m ÿE.!Pkmù.<Y>Y* āù[3 ÿ<GÿN.B>3 .3 k>RPm ākUB>3 d^Gkmā% °¨¸¸ ÿ'>3 W97[3m# EÿA db ÿ<GÿN.<@āmm .3 <ā G'# *GÿNm .! aù* !āmGmB>! !%[* NW94mGÿB>3 omv3[* 7EWùā@ām* photo courtesy of Noel Kaludjak Leo Subgut puts Maggie Foseid through her musical paces during a violin lesson in Rankin Inlet this past week. ÿ973> āù[3 i^!P<u3 ÿ<GmkW97[*Nm !sW.N3 53 āù[3 ÿuoāù[3> ù<āWù[3> ākUB>3 gEÿN EÿB> !m B<3m ā5o3 ÿ<Gÿk[> ÿ@āB># #3 ÿ<Gÿ> 0.> 3[>#94mGPā> Ymā3m ù`B<[* /s ![> ó.5 ÿ<Gmā> ā3 E> i^7[. 7u*3m No93[*3 ā#E<mB<W97[. kāL.Pk<mE 0.> ÿ975 i^7[. #97mùB>3 ó7>7om *E5 5Y5 *!Pā3[*Nm .97 NW94mGN.N5 āù[3 0.> No93[*3 kāLN97[. ÿE.7o3 ó*E?%>[. 5Yÿ āù[3 No ÿuoāù[3> RPāù[3> 57<93 ù3< d^Gkoù.u. /3 ā3mG, gEmù.N3 óÿ/o@ ā97[. 7u*3m kāL.<mE3 No*3 #ù[3 ÿoWù[3> GY97qmE3 NW94mGB>3 ā3 0.> i^7>qmE3 NW94mGÿB>3 ÿ<.>m3 5m3ô Sparking creativity with song Musicians start music lessons in Rankin Inlet omv3[*ā s 5 ÿ@ākā@āmm !%[* ÿ<GÿB>! ù`B<* bB<[* ÿNmā^ā '@'^3 omv3[* 7EWùā@ām* by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Rankin Inlet The first in a series of music lessons got underway in Rankin Inlet this past week.

The Blizzard will return to Rankin to defend their Powerful Peewees title this coming weekend. āb>;5DT09 20@RāsGq Peewees drop the puck in Rankin this weekend by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Rankin Inlet Tournament season officially gets underway in Rankin Inlet when eight teams vie for the Powerful Peewees title this coming weekend, Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. The Iqaluit Blizzard is returning to defend its 2014 title, while, for the first time ever, the tournament will feature both an all-female squad and an atom A team. Organizer David Clark said if all goes according to plan, the event will feature three Rankin teams, Iqaluit, Baker Lake, Arviat, a combined Repulse Bay and Chesterfield Inlet squad, and a combined Coral Harbour and Whale Cove entry. He said the Powerful Peewees has produced a number of big moments in the past, including a year when a Winnipeg team competed and three years when the final game went into overtime. "It was pretty cool the year Winnipeg was here, and it's always exciting for the fans when Iqaluit comes, but, mainly, this is a good regional event for the kids," said Clark. "It's pretty neat to have an all-girl's team this year, and the atom A team is using the tournament as a way to get some good practice in for the upcoming Munn Cup in Thompson, Man. "We're able to do this now, with bodychecking removed from peewee hockey, and we're also doing something a little different this year by having two pools. "The top teams will play off in one pool and the bottom four in the other, with the hope it will benefit all the teams by making a lot more of the games mean something." Clark said the Powerful Peewees is a big event for the young players. He said the local players are pumped to be playing a tournament in their hometown, while, for many of the regional young players, this is the only tournament they get to compete in all season. "We had a bit of controversy with some of the Iqaluit parents this past year, but, for the most part, we do a good job hosting in Rankin. "The communities and the parents in the region are grateful for the tournaments we host, and how well they're organized for the kids. "We book the airfares for the kids coming from the smaller communities and do what we can to help them cut down on their travel costs. "Rankin leads our region in hosting hockey events and the community is always very supportive of them." Clark said the young players love getting to play a big game in front of a large, loud crowd in Rankin. He said he remembers how exciting the experience was for him when he was a minor hockey player. "I'd be counting down the days all winter until our tournament. It's pretty exciting, that feeling you have as a kid, when you have trouble sleeping because you can't wait for the tournament to come. "I still remember it well and, I'm sure, the kids today feel the same way. "Some of these kids will be playing on our regional teams a few years down the road, and they'll have known each other since their atom and peewee days through these events."
