Chesterfield Inlet athletes show well on home court for Arctic sports qualifier
Home daycare options available
Nunavut The Government of Nunavut has released some information on the benefits of becoming a licensed daycare provider from your home. “Taking care of more than four children under the age of 12 in your home requires a licence from the Department of Education – it’s the law,” stated a news release issued Oct. 23. “Take your care to the next level by becoming a licensed provider.” Becoming a licensed provider means one can obtain a government subsidy and offer $10 per day daycare, receive additional funding support, access early learning resources, benefit from specialized training and access a network of care providers and supports. More information can be found on the Department of Education’s website.

Client Safety Week
Nunavut The Department of Health is encouraging Nunavummiut to recognize Client Safety Week from Oct. 23 to 27. This year’s theme is “small changes, big impact, safer care.” “Even small things can make a big difference in ensuring safe and appropriate care when accessing health services,” stated the department in a news release. The department went on to recommend clients ask questions during their next visit to a healthcare facility and to share their experiences by contacting the Office of Patient Relations at 1-855-438-3003 or patientrelations1@gov. nu.ca to discuss healthcare experiences confidentially.
Vaccine recommendation
Nunavut The Department of Health is reminding Nunavummiut of an increased risk of getting sick from influenza, Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses during the fall and winter months. “Effective prevention measures are available and seasonal vaccines are an important tool to help protect individuals and communities,” stated a news release from the department. Flu and Covid-19 vaccines are free and available at all health centres in Nunavut. “It is safe and recommended to receive both the flu and Covid-19 vaccine during the same appointment,” stated the department. “The updated Moderna Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for individuals if it has been six months since a previous dose of a Covid-19 vaccine or if it has been at least six months since a suspected or confirmed Covid-19 infection. Current national recommendations are for all individuals aged six months and older to receive a flu vaccine. If you are 65 years or older, a separate flu vaccine with additional protection for this age group is available.” Contact your local health centre or public health unit to book an appointment if you wish.
Masks mandatory in healthcare facilities again
Nunavut As of Oct. 17, masks are mandatory in all Nunavut health facilities, announced the Department of Health. “Increasing numbers of Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses have been detected in Nunavut,” stated the department. “The Department of Health is taking the necessary steps to reduce the risk of transmission of respiratory illness in our facilities and protect our more vulnerable populations.” The department went on to say masks are a proven tool to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and other respiratory viruses. “Clients, visitors and staff entering health facilities will be screened for symptoms of Covid-19 upon arrival,” stated the department. “We urge everyone to do their part to help keep our facilities safe by answering questions honestly and respectfully.”

Year of the rookie competitor vying for Artctic Winter Games roster spots By Darrell Greer Northern News Services Chesterfield Inlet
The Arctic sports tryout for the 2024 Arctic Winter Games (AWG) in Alaska took a unique twist with the vast majority of athletes over all age groups being rookies to the sport. The tryouts were held in Chesterfield Inlet earlier this month with more than 30 athletes competing for a spot on Nunavut’s Arctic sports squad for the AWG. The event was overseen by the not-for-profit sports organization Sport Nunavut, which is not to be confused with the Sport and Recreation Division of Community and Government Services Chesterfield Inlet’s award-winning recreation director, Russell Mullins, oversaw the event. Local sports lover and community volunteer Glen Brocklebank was a scorekeeper for the tryout and said there were quite a few athletes new to Arctic sports at the event. He said the Chesterfield Inlet contingent came on really strong. A lot of the athletes for Arctic sports during the past two decades came out of Chesterfield Inlet, so their participants did very well. “James Tautu was second overall in the open male category, Elizabeth Kukkiak tied for first in open females, Ivalu Leishman Brocklebank was first in junior females, Myra Kadjuk was third overall in junior females and Austin Mullins was third overall for junior males,” said Brocklebank. “They haven’t announced the AWG team yet for Arctic sports. With the territorial tryouts, there were some communities who had between 15 or 18 competitors sign up,” he added. “They were told that rather than board a plane and try to fly into Chester together, they were to host their own event and submit their results to Sport Nunavut. While the Chesterfield Inlet event was one of the main events, Brocklebank said there were other events in communities that had a lot of people competing. He said overall he felt the event in Chesterfield Inlet ran very smoothly, with the community welcoming everyone with open arms. “The athletes from out of town all seemed to get along very well. Everybody, kind of, said that Chester was a very friendly community,” said Brocklebank. “All the senior athletes were billeted and the younger ones stayed at the school. “All in all, I think it was a positive experience for most, if not all, of the athletes.”

Baker Lake leading the way for children’s play areas in the Kivalliq by Darrell Greer Northern News Services
Kids in Baker Lake are enjoying the latest playground to be constructed in their community earlier this month. Hamlet senior administrative officer Sheldon Dorey said the community had been trying to get the playground structure up and running for the past few years, but were hindered by the Covid pandemic and shipping challenges. He said the hamlet was finally able to get the playground up on this year’s sealift and the beautiful structure proved itself worth the wait. The $250,000 playground is located not far from the middle of the community, near the town’s parking garage. Dorey said the driving force behind the new playground was the success being enjoyed by a number of beautiful play areas already in service in the community, and the hours upon hours of enjoyment local kids derive from them. He said the community currently has about five popular playground sites, including an indoor site. “We had a big, older wooden play structure previously in that location which was deteriorating. About two or three years ago we were forced to
tear it down and we’ve been trying ever since to get a new one constructed,” said Dorey. “We applied for some money for the project and were fortunate enough to receive it, although it took a little while for us to get it in the community because of challenges presented by manufacturing, Covid and sealift. “ So it’s a replacement for a structure that was down there and we’re continuing to look for upgrades to existing play areas in the community. “We have a fairly spread-out community, so it’s nice to have little structures in various areas in our community for our children to be able to play on.” Dorey said the younger kids in the community, especially, have a ball playing at the sites. He said during the construction of the new playgrounds, workers had a struggle to keep the kids away from the construction area, as they were just so excited to start playing at the venue when they realized a new one was going up. “The playground officially opened during the first week of October and we’ve received nothing but positive feedback from the community since then. “Our next step is to put a little picnic table down there and some garbage receptacles, so
parents can go down and watch their kids play. “It’s great to see the kids and their parents out interacting with each other instead of stuck in front of a computer, cell phone or some other electronic device.” Word has also been spreading around Baker about the possible construction of a new rec complex for the community. While the concept is a bright one for Baker that would be welcomed with open arms by the community, Dorey said there really isn’t too much to report on the matter at this time. “That would be a really big project for the community and I can’t comment on it too much at this point in time. “It would take a longtime for a project of that magnitude to come to fruition and we have a number of priorities in our community right now. “It was, really, more than anything else, just a very preliminary discussion with a number of various funding partners. “If it ever were to happen one day, however, it would be a tremendous benefit to the community and the entire region for that matter because it would provide another prime facility to host regional events and bring some of them out of always being hosted by Rankin Inlet.”

The Kivalliq Inuit Association’s (KIA) Legacy Fund was the highlight of the regional Inuit association’s annual general meeting at the Siniktarvik Hotel in Rankin Inlet on Oct. 11 and 12. The AGM saw the Legacy Fund take a number of important steps forward at the gathering, including the fund being separated from the organization’s main financial statements. The Legacy Fund was set up four years ago from revenue the KIA receives from resource extractions. The fund receives royalties from Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), as well as monetary boosts from Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the Ukkusiksalik National Park near Naujaat, any dividends Sakku Investments may have and a certain fund amount from any penalties AEM may incur from not meeting its (Inuit) employment targets. KIA chief operating officer Gabe Karlik said the bylaw for the Legacy Fund has very specific terms that must be followed, such as separating the account and doing an annual report, which the organization has already completed. He said the next phase is to set-up the spending guidelines which will allow the KIA to start moving forward with the fund. “This has been a longtime coming,” said Karlik. “It’s an amazing opportunity and, once finalized, we can start utilizing the $116 million currently available in the Legacy Fund. In fact, we’re in the process of starting to use that money soon. “The bylaw has specific guidelines as to how monies in the Legacy Fund can be spent, including a Community Initiative Fund specific to the region’s seven communities and an Education Fund. “It also has an Income Stabilization Fund which has a guaranteed amount of $5 million in it every year.” Karlik said the Income Stabilization Fund is an investment fund that works to guarantee monies available in both the Education and Community Initiative funds. He said, this year, for the very first time, the KIA had to deny applications for student support; a shortcoming the organization would like very much to not have to repeat. “We spent $4.3 million on supporting students but there’s more and more students applying. We’ve seen the number of students applying increase to 401 from 130 just three years ago. “That increase is good news and there’s still more people applying, so the future is looking bright for students going down south and getting their educations which, of course, is what we want. “Right now, we need to be able to support them even more.”
Karlik said more good news from the AGM is that the KIA board is in support of the Affordable Housing Plan, which will be moving forward in about a year or so. “Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, the KIA will build approximately 83 housing units for the region during the next five years. “The criteria is to make it affordable. “It’s not going to the Public Housing sector, but it will create an opportunity to make it as affordable as possible for people who want to purchase units. “As many are aware, it’s pretty hard to buy houses up North in the current climate.”

Chesterfield Inlet rec coordinator named one of the best ‘You’re always going to have your ups and downs no matter who you’re working with to host important events.’ By Darrell Greer Northern News Services Chesterfield Inlet
Chesterfield Inlet recreation coordinator Russell Mullins is to be honoured for his efforts in improving sports and recreation in his home community, but with the awards ceremony being held in Iqaluit during ice-making season in the community, chances are good Mullins will not be making the trip to Iqaluit to accept his award. Mullins said he appreciates being recognized for his work, but getting the hockey season off to a great start in home community is his top priority right now. Although he won’t be attending the award presentation, he said it still makes him happy to know his work is appreciated. “Our numbers of people playing hockey in Chester is growing every year. Other than our oldest group, every age group after that has its own team and we’re pretty stoked about that. “The days of having to sneak a few atoms players onto our Powerful Peewees team are long behind us now. We just don’t need to do that anymore. “My top priority right now is getting our kids on the ice and having them start their new hockey season. “We’re seeing more and more kids getting involved with different sports now. At the territorial trial here earlier this month, I’d say about 99 per cent of the juniors who came to play were first time athletes in the Inuit games. That has to look good for the future, at least the way I see it anyway.” He helped the community host those territorial Arctic sports trials for the team that will represent Nunavut at the 2024 Arctic Winter Games in Alaska. Mullins said, in his opinion, the trials in Chesterfield Inlet went perfect. He said he was proud to see so many of the athletes from his hometown do so well at the event. “You’re always going to have your ups and downs no matter who you’re working with to host important events,” said Mullins, who has been recreation coordinator in the community for four years.

Photo courtesy Glen Brocklebank “The biggest challenge I faced in pulling off the Arctic sports trials was finding somewhere for everyone to stay in my community. “I was, of course, a little nervous going into it, but everything worked out OK.
“Coral Harbour never made it. They were supposed to come in but got weathered out. At the beginning we were supposed to have 60 athletes come in but, when all was said and done, we ended up with 30, which still worked out OK.”

Towtongie returns r? 9o3 u iWK5
Incumbent Rankin Inlet mayor narrowly beats challenger By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Rankin Inlet
Harry Towtongie was fielding a lot of phone calls Monday night as the election results came in. With five out of five polls reporting, Towtongie was re-elected mayor of Rankin Inlet, narrowly surpassing challenger Megan Pizzo-Lyall with 183 votes to her 178. “I’m thankful to my supporters and I’m thankful to my family, my wife,” said Towtongie Monday night. He congratulated Pizzo-Lyall on making a good run for it. “I hope she’ll get in one of these times,” he said. “I congratulate her for all her work.” Towtongie will be serving his second term as mayor of Rankin Inlet. “I’m going to try to do better,” he said. “I’m going to try to help my community better and I hope I can last the four years. I’m going to do my best.” He thanked his supporters again and said he will hopefully make a difference in the community. “I know that Harry will do the best he can during this term and I wish him all the best,” said Pizzo-Lyall the following morning. “There’s a lot of work ahead of him and I know the new council will keep him on his toes.” Among the other unofficial municipal election results from Oct. 23, Kevin Iksiktaaryuk was elected mayor of Baker Lake with 226 votes to James Taipana’s 129, while Kevin Tegumiar secured the mayor’s seat in Naujaat with 97 of 136 votes. His competitors were Joseph Sivanertok and Alan Robinson. In Whale Cove, Oliver Shipton beat Gerard Maktar for mayor with 67 votes to his opponent’s 46. Simionie Sammurtok became mayor of Chesterfield Inlet against competitors Tony Amauyak and Mary Ann Issaluk. Acclaimed mayors include Arviat’s Joe Savikataaq Jr. and Coral Harbour’s Kupapik Ningeocheak. Full results can be found at the Elections Nunavut website at elections. nu.ca.
