By-election for alcohol committee
Sanikiluaq
Naujaat A by-election will be held in Naujaat to elect additional members to the community’s alcohol education committee (AEC), stated the Government of Nunavut in a news release Oct. 16. The candidate declaration period opened Oct. 16 and closes at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20. Candidates can declare their candidacy from 1 p.m.-6 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday by contacting their local returning officer. The by-election will be held on Nov. 20, with advanced voting taking place on Nov. 13. The Naujaat AEC requires a minimum of three members for quorum to a maximum of seven members on the committee. Two AEC members were already acclaimed in the October general municipal election. Alcohol education committees make decisions regarding who may consume, possess, purchase or transport liquor into a restricted community by reviewing and approving applications for liquor orders, stated the release. They are also empowered to offer community-based initiatives and programming that educate and counsel individuals on the use of alcohol for the prevention of alcohol abuse. Individuals elected to an AEC are eligible for honoraria for their participation on the committee.
Water board nominations sought
Nunavut The Government of Nunavut is looking for nominations to fill its seats on the Nunavut Water Board (NWB). The NWB has responsibilities and powers over the regulation, use and management of inland water in the Nunavut Settlement Area, explained the Government of Nunavut in a news release. If you are familiar with water management issues in Nunavut and wish to make a contribution to the NWB, or if you would like to nominate someone else, please submit a resume and application form to Estela Aguilar at EAguilar@ gov.nu.ca or Lekan Thomas at LThomas@gov. nu.ca, or by fax at 867-975-7742. Application forms are available on the Department of Environment website. The successful candidate must pass security clearance. Nominations will only be considered if a resume is attached. Applications will be received until Oct. 27.
Teacher’s aide charged
Iqaluit As a result of an investigation carried out by RCMP ‘V’ Division specialized investigative team, a 30-year-old teacher’s aide at Iqaluit’s Nakasuk School was charged with several offences Sept. 25. Those included sexual exploitation, invitation to sexual touching, luring and possession of child pornography. Investigators are looking into historical incidents believed to have occurred in 2018, involving former students. The accused’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 30 in Iqaluit.
Rankin Inlet’s beer and wine store has been the subject of much discussion in council chambers over the last year, as the community is grappling with rising crime statistics. NNSL file photo
Rankin Inlet holds final council meeting prior to municipal election By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Rankin Inlet
The last council meeting for Rankin Inlet before a new council is sworn in following the Oct. 23 election saw discussion of a familiar topic: the beer and wine store and its effects in the community. Sgt. Patrick Frenette of the Rankin Inlet RCMP presented statistics for September that again showed an increase of calls over the previous year. Calls for service in September to the RCMP were 296, with alcohol being a factor in 178 of them. From the start of the year to the end of September, there have been 2,423 calls for service, compared to 1,965 in 2022 – a 23 per cent increase. Calls involving alcohol are up 60 per cent compared to the previous year, while detainees are up 61 per cent. “Seventy-four out of the 78 prisoners were intoxicated,” said Frenette about those being lodged in the cells in September. For the whole year, 655 out of 783 detainees have been intoxicated. He also noted a clear correlation with the beer and wine store’s opening days, saying calls for service when it’s open are much higher than when it’s closed. Asked whether the new limitations at the store – daily allotments of 12 beers or two bottles of wine per customer – are having an effect, Frenette said it’s too early to judge, and there’s a natural decrease in police calls at the end of summer as well. Coun. Michael Shouldice, who will be returning to the new council by acclamation, included some thoughts on the next steps for the beer and wine store. In a document, he suggested
an addictions treatment centre, programs for education and counselling, partnering with organizations such as Pulaarvik Kablu Friendship Centre or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, an event to create awareness around alcohol, collecting crucial statistics to measure the situation in the community, a change in legislation regarding the amount of alcohol that can be ordered at one time to address bootlegging and more. Taxi fares to be increased In light of rising gas prices, Silu Autut of Silu’s Taxi wrote a letter to the hamlet requesting to increase fares to $8 per ride locally and $10 to or from the airport. The fares were last set in a 2008 bylaw at $6 in town and $7 to and from the airport. “With the financial impacts of the pandemic and, more recently, inflation, we have experienced a sharp and notable increase in our business costs in the last few years,” wrote Autut, adding his business has been serving the community since 2020. “Specifically, the costs of purchasing, fueling and maintaining our vehicles have all increased significantly.” Autut had posted on Facebook in The Rankin Inlet News group that the taxi fares would be going to $8 and $10 as of October 9. Coun. Chris Eccles noted an issue with the fares being potentially increased before being passed in council. “I don’t think that’s really the right way to do it,” he said. Council passed two readings of the bylaw to change the taxi rates to what Autut proposed, with Coun. Megan Pizzo-Lyall being the only dissenter, noting concern in how steeply the rates were increasing. For the bylaw to be passed, it requires a third reading, which is likely to happen at the first regular council meeting following the Oct. 23 municipal election.

Soon after graduating high school in Rankin Inlet, Nathalie Taylor welcomed her first daughter into the world, and suddenly she needed money. “With the shortages of childcare in Nunavut, I couldn’t get a job, so I started sewing to make income,” said Taylor, now 24. Her business began as Nathalie Taylor Creations, as she sewed parkas, mitts and other pieces to sell. “Parkas are the most popular,” said Taylor, adding that she’s fielded a lot of amauti orders this year. As her business grew, Taylor changed the company name to Inspired by Nabvat, referencing her
daughter Piujulia (Nabvat) Taylor, whose birth inspired the pursuit in the first place. When it comes to her work, she won’t make the same thing twice. “I like the idea that you have something and nobody else will have it,” said Taylor. She will repeat a style, but she uses different colours or makes other changes, as that way, there are no replicas. For a parka, furs can cost $250 to $310, with the rest of the material being over $200 per coat. “So you’re looking at spending about $400, $500 on the material, and then you could flip that and make over $1,000 sometimes if you’re lucky.” Each coat takes her between five and 12 hours to make. She mostly avoids selling spots – a common way of auctioning clothing in the north – and
prefers to sell direct on Facebook, Instagram and anywhere she can connect with customers. Most of her buyers are in Nunavut, with a customer base in Manitoba and Alaska as well. One of her challenges is the amount of scam artists online, she said, who will take her photos of parkas for sale and dupe unsuspecting buyers who pay but never receive the product. Earlier this year, Taylor had a tradeshow booth in Ottawa, but sold only two parkas. That was a hit to her energy at the time, and she pivoted to doing eyelash and beauty work in Rankin Inlet in addition to fashion. But when it came to the 2023 Kivalliq Trade Show, her booth at the art market sold out completely, reigniting her passion. Continued on Page A5

Nathalie Taylor balances raising her girls and running her fashion business from home. Stewart Burnett/NNSL photo From Page A4 “I’m doing okay,” she said about total income from her work. “It’s a lot of hours, a lot of working, but it’s worth it in the end.” Eventually, her goal is to open her own shop. For the time being, she’s working to make her business more ‘official’ with marketing, a website and similar. She loves seeing her children get excited about her work. “The main thing that really makes me enjoy it every day is having my kids, seeing them proud,” said Taylor about the benefits of running her own business.

Entrepreneurs Feeling like the chief never fail to inspire Northern News Services
In a world that more and more feels physically small, entrepreneurs are modern explorers, charting their paths through landscapes unknown and navigating all the challenges, terrain and mountaintops along the way. There’s a noble and adventurous aspect to entrepreneurship and building your own business. For a town of 3,000 people, Rankin Inlet has a surprising number of entrepreneurs running restaurants, local stores, cab companies, fashion and more. People who start their own business take on a special kind of risk that is hard to appreciate if you’ve always worked for someone else. When you have a boss, they make the rules, they take on all the risk if the business fails,
and your job is just to show up. But for the entrepreneur, the buck stops with you. The Department of Health is always going to exist and cycle through employees, as it lives for eternity on tax revenue. Your restaurant, though, has to sell at a profit every day to continue surviving. It was surprising to hear just how tight the margins can be, such as with Nathalie Taylor of Inspired by Nabvat saying a parka that sells for $1,000 might cost $500 in material. General Canadian society seems to be catching onto this wave, but it feels like authentic Indigenous art should cost much more than that. Despite how difficult an environment it may be to economically succeed in Canada these days, small business owners in Nunavut are doing it.

Busy construction season in Kivalliq capital
By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services
The Kivalliq capital was open for business this summer, as streets were regularly closed off for maintenance and all sorts of
construction crews could be seen around town working on various projects. As the snow begins to threaten working conditions, workers stay busy to get everything they can done before freeze up.
Rankin Inlet residents quickly became used to closed roads and detours, as just about every section in town got hit with one kind of construction or another this summer. Stewart Burnett/NNSL photo Efforts to bolster the town’s utilidor system have been taking place all summer. Stewart Burnett/NNSL photo

Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor are welcomed by Kivalliq News, especially new contributors. We attempt to publish a crosssection of public opinion. Not all letters will necessarily be published. Preference is given to short letters of broad interest or concern. Letters of over 200 words, open letters and those published elsewhere are seldom used. We reserve the right to publish excerpts, to edit for length or taste and to eliminate inaccurate or libelous statements. We may also choose to use a letter as the basis for a story. All letters submitted must be signed with a return address and daytime phone number. Opinions expressed in letters and by columnists are those of the author and are not necessarily shared by the editor or publisher.
