Foreboding skies emerge over Rankin Inlet early Monday, Aug. 14. The red reflects the forest fires elsewhere in the country. As of press time, the Northwest Territories in particular was going through an evacuation in many communities as fires encroached on towns.

State of emergency declared Nunavut

While Rankin Inlet reflected fires in the sky, the Government of Nunavut had announced Bathurst Inlet would be under a state of emergency as of Aug. 11, due to a wildfire that started two days before.

“Like most Canadian jurisdictions, Nunavut is experiencing first-hand the impacts of climate change,” stated community and government services minister David Joanasie.

“Inuit have been expressing their concerns around the rapidly changing environment in the Arctic for years and wildfires are another unfortunate example of the effects of climate change. While wildfires are not common in Nunavut, they do pose a risk when they approach people, communities or industry.”

Declaring a state of emergency provides the GN with the authority to take enhanced measures to take action, deploy resources and enact controls to respond to the fire in Bathurst Inlet. The declaration also provides additional authority to control and assign assets of GN departments and public agencies under the Emergency Measures Act.

Under the authority of the Emergency Management Act, the Minister of Community and Government Services is issuing a do not enter order and an evacuation order to individuals already in the area. Additional measures may be implemented under the terms of the emergency declaration.

The state of emergency for the Bathurst Inlet area will be in effect for 14 days, from August 10-23, 2023.

Learn to light a Qulliq Baker Lake

As part of Nunavut Parks’ series of “Learn to…” events, the Department of Environment is hosting “Learn to Light a Qulliq” at Inuujaarvik Campground in Baker Lake from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17.

To register for the event, sign up at the Vera Akumalik Vistors Centre. Visit the department’s website for a full schedule of similar events and locations this summer.

Florence Nagyougalik suspected her late brother Solomon Tulurialik was smiling in heaven after the 2023 Swing Flames Cup.

“I would like to thank my committee members for helping prepare for the tournament,” said Nagyougalik about the softball tournament that has been held for four years in honour of Tulurialik, who passed in 2019. “I couldn’t do it without them.”

Several teams competed in the tournament, with Team Sluggers coming out on top in the end. In second were the Bench Warmers and third Salt Lake.

Nagyougalik said a lot of volunteers stepped up to help before, during and after the tournament.

“The fourth annual Swing Flames Cup was a successful turn out,” she said. “A few bumps but it all turned out nicely. It was nice to see Elders coming out to watch and also the community.”

She was proud to see Arviat and Chesterfield Inlet attend, the latter of which had players travel in by boat.

Nagyougalik also thanked the sponsors, including Calm Air, Arctic Fuel, Agnico Eagle, Jessie Oonark and the Hamlet of Baker Lake, plus Northern and Co-op for offering discounts.

Firefighters put on a fireworks show at the end of the tournament, and Jeff Seeteenak and daughter Janette helped keep everyone fed and hydrated throughout the games.

Brian Pudnak cleaned the whole diamond by himself after the tournament, said Nagyougalik.

“Let’s remember my late brother Solomon Tulurialik,” said Nagyougalik in closing words about the event. “He is probably smiling his biggest up in heaven.”

Tulurialik, who also went by Sala, was also the namesake behind the 2023 Sala Hockey Memorial in Baker Lake. He passed at the age of 29 and had been known as an active, loving community member who always encouraged people to play sports.

Actua science camp tours territory

By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services

Actua science camps have become a staple in the North, as teams of instructors work their way around the territory engaging youth in a variety of classroom projects and activities.

In Rankin Inlet, Actua connected with the summer camp students to teach a week-long course with a new subject every day.

The youth, ages five to nine, learned about water, the bridge between art and science, safety on the internet, aerodynamics and then robots.

“It varies week to week depending on the group of kids that you have,” about what youth like to learn the most, said Patricia Kennedy, outreach instructor.

“Sometimes we get kids that are really into the art-based activities, and they find those really interesting. Sometimes we get a group where kids are really into coding and so we’ll do a lot of coding.”

She comes from a computer science background, so her favourite courses are the ones that deal with that subject; meanwhile, co-instructor Edie Levine-Barnoff comes from the biology world and loves activities relating to living creatures.

The last day of the camp in Rankin Inlet involved a lesson about how bees pollinate and direct others to flowers, where students created their own little ‘pollinator’ robots and powered them up with a tablet to perform pollinating dances on the floor.

Kennedy said the camps are important because they highlight STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in the community – something that intersects with Indigenous knowledge, she said.

“There are so many connections, so that’s also something we like to explore in those camps and show those links,” said Kennedy.

For Levine-Barnoff, her highlight of the Rankin Inlet camp was seeing a child run up to their parent afterward yelling, “We just did science!”

“They were really happy about it and the parent was like, ‘Oh that’s amazing,’” recalled Levine-Barnoff. “That was a really nice moment

to hear, to see the kids outside of the activities getting really excited about what we’re doing and science in general.”
