The Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society will be meeting at the greenhouse on Saturday, May 18 at noon to start digging in the dirt. We will be pulling our compost out of the shed in preparation for this year’s growing season. We will also be doing some other work in and around the greenhouse. If you are interested in coming out to help, we’d love to see you there. Let’s get ready to grow!

Thanks to everyone who attended our AGM on Saturday. Those present voted in a new board and also decided on an important question that was posed in our survey – how would you like to grow this year?
It turns out the majority of those present decided that we all want a stronger community atmosphere. We will be trying out a new greenhouse model this year and are very excited about it. Instead of individual plots, all members will be responsible for helping to grow everything in the greenhouse this year. And with changes comes a strong need to plan.
We will be holding our first Greenhouse planning session this Thursday (May 16) at 5:30 PM at the Nunavut Research Institute board room. If you are interested in becoming a greenhouse member this year or just want to know more, please come out to the meeting. We will be laying out the guidelines for how we want to grow, what seeds we will be planting and so much more. Bring snacks…or we can order dinner.
Be a part of an exciting new change for the ICGS! We hope to see you there!

The Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society Board is actively seeking donations from the public, government services and corporations. In order to fund the many needs of the Society, we have applied to several sources for support. We are pleased to announce that our hard work has come to some fruition (pun intended!).
The Qulliq Power Corporation was approached and responded with a generous contribution! This is a grant and will certainly go some distance in recharging our much depleted bank account. We are very grateful for their support.
Are you a member of the Society or just want to help? It’s easy! If you are aware of a corporation or individual that can help us out with our yearly funding needs, please send any information you have to us and we will formally approach them for sponsorship.
Thanks Qulliq! Spring is here and growing will start shortly in the greenhouse. We have new compost, so the 2013 year will be a very green one. Thanks also go to NorthMart for a discount on the transport and purchase of the compost. We are indeed a community!
