Unnusakkut!

Please join us this Saturday from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. for an afternoon cleaning the grounds and organizing lots of materials for this years growing season! We have lots of manual labour we need help with, so bring gloves, a motivated attitude and a bottle of water!

We have lots of exciting things planned for this year, but before we roll out new and exciting ways you can get involved in building a more food secure Iqaluit (& Nunavut) – we need to start from scratch and get things in tip-top shape! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Ulluqatsiaritsi!
