New screen, audio system set to rock Arviat presentations
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Arviat
Movie, video and drama
presentations will now be
reaching a whole level of
clarity at John Arnalukjuak
High School in
Arviat.
The school
has installed a
brand new viewing screen, measuring 18 feet by
13 feet.
Drama teacher and play
director Gord Billard said the
screen will be used for multiple purposes.
He said, in the past, films
screened on movie night and
video presentations made in
the theatre were hindered by
a very small screen.
"We'll be able to move the
projector way back with this
new screen, and we also have
a wicked sound system with
brand-new speakers," said
Billard.
"So, we're
going to be able
to show a pretty
decent movie
here from now
on."

Country food for
all of Nunavut
Kivalliq Arctic Foods on solid ground
as new product released
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
A renewed focus on the
Nunavut market is proving
itself to be a solid business
move by the Rankin Inletbased Kivalliq Arctic Foods
(KAF).
The company is a subsidiary of the Nunavut Development Corp. (NDC), operating
year-round with an average of
nine full-time staff.
It employs two or three
additional workers during
peak periods.
KAF recently launched an
updated version of a product
line it introduced in December of 2012.
The family pack has proven itself to be an extremely
popular choice across Kivalliq and Nunavut.
The latest family pack
weighs in at more than seven
kilograms and contains at
least one sampling of every
product available at the plant.
For a cost of $250, including shipping to anywhere in
Nunavut, the case consists of
two kilograms of maktaaq,
two kilograms of caribou
stew cubes, four pounds of
ground muskox, one kilogram of traditional pipsi, one
kilogram of turbot fillets and
200 grams of candied char
nuggets.
Plant manager Todd Johnson said the company is trying to put as much reasonably-priced food into a family
pack as possible.
He said the goal is to see
people take advantage of
Kivalliq Arctic Food products, without having to buy a
full case of one specific item.
"We're also running a
unique promotion in connection to the family pack," said
Johnson.
"Anyone who purchases
one can then post their best
turbot recipe to our Facebook
page, and whoever gets the
most likes for their recipe
will win the prize.
"The grand prize is a
family pack, a full case of
traditional pipsi, and a full
case of caribou mikku.
"We see it as a very nice
prize package and hope our
customers feel the same."
Johnson said family packs
have incredible potential to
keep costs down and get
country food into more Nunavut homes.
He said the pack is showing itself to be a phenomenal
marketing approach for the
company.
"They increase our visibility and get a good crossselection of product out.
"The success of the product also provides benefits to
hunters in our region.
"We had seven hunters
from Arviat and Whale Cove
arrive with an abundance of
caribou this past month.
"We purchased every
pound of tuktu they brought."
KAF buys caribou from
regional hunters every winter,
from the beginning of November to the end of March.
Johnson said if regional
hunters can get the tuktu to
the plant, the company will
purchase it from them.
He said November to
March is used because outdoor temps have to be -18
C or colder to transport the
meat.
"The cold keeps the meat
healthy and safe.
"The hunters really appreciate the chance to earn
income from their harvesting.
"We still have a market
outside of Nunavut, which we
appreciate, but we're able to
focus on the territory because
there's enough demand for
our products here now."
NDC president Darrin
Nichol said he's pleased with
how much KAF product is
being sold in Nunavut.
He said NDC is all about
supporting employment and
income-earning opportunities
in Nunavut.
"Providing Kivalliq harvesters an opportunity to sell
sustainable products to Kivalliq Arctic Foods under an
established commercial quota
system is important to us, as
well as the guys who rely on it
to generate additional income
to support their harvesting
endeavours," said Nichol.
"The plant is busy and
we appreciate and recognize
the importance of putting this
product back into the hands
of Nunavummiut.
"Our operation is proudly
Nunavut.
"It's about our territory,
and recognizing some things
are changing in that Nunavut
is evolving and people are
working, don't always have
the time to harvest and find it
expensive to hunt."
Nichol said the family
pack makes a basket of quality country food, processed
by Inuit at the plant, available
to people across the territory.
He said running a processing facility in Nunavut
is extremely costly and NDC
is always revenue-challenged,
but Kivalliq Arctic Foods is
on solid footing as an NDC
subsidiary company and
there's no danger of the company closing its doors anytime soon.
"We always hear about the
cost of freight, in terms of
bringing food into the North
from the south.
"But, what aren't discussed
often are the overhead costs
of power, fuel and local public utilities, which are very
significant.
"It's difficult to find a balance between putting stuff
out there that's affordable,
and trying to run an organization that generates enough
revenue to cover all those
costs.
"It's an ongoing issue, but,
when NDC assesses these
things, we also look at what
we're doing employment
wise, and how we're advancing our programs at Kivalliq
Arctic Foods to help support
the hunters in our region."

Cool fundraiser
Chesterfield Inlet
About 20 players suited up for a competitive, but sometimes
hilarious, hockey fundraiser in Chesterfield Inlet earlier this
month.
The event saw the group pit Toronto fans against Montreal
fans on the ice, with the Habs coming out on top 15-14 in a
wide-open contest.
The game, overseen by James Connelly, drew a good crowd
in Chester, with organizers raising $500 from the $2 admission
charged to watch the game.
The hockey fundraisers hope to host another Leafs vs. Habs
matchup this coming week.

Peewees drop
the puck in Rankin
this weekend
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
Tournament season officially gets underway in Rankin Inlet when eight teams
vie for the Powerful Peewees
title this coming weekend,
Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.
The Iqaluit Blizzard is
returning to defend its 2014
title, while, for the first time
ever, the tournament will feature both an all-female squad
and an atom A team.
Organizer David Clark
said if all goes according to
plan, the event will feature
three Rankin teams, Iqaluit,
Baker Lake, Arviat, a combined Repulse Bay and Chesterfield Inlet squad, and a
combined Coral Harbour and
Whale Cove entry.
He said the Powerful Peewees has produced a number
of big moments in the past,
including a year when a Winnipeg team competed and
three years when the final
game went into overtime.
"It was pretty cool the
year Winnipeg was here,
and it's always exciting for
the fans when Iqaluit comes,
but, mainly, this is a good
regional event for the kids,"
said Clark.
"It's pretty neat to have an
all-girl's team this year, and
the atom A team is using the
tournament as a way to get
some good practice in for
the upcoming Munn Cup in
Thompson, Man.
"We're able to do this now,
with bodychecking removed
from peewee hockey, and
we're also doing something
a little different this year by
having two pools.
"The top teams will play
off in one pool and the bottom four in the other, with
the hope it will benefit all the
teams by making a lot more
of the games mean something."
Clark said the Powerful
Peewees is a big event for the
young players.
He said the local players
are pumped to be playing a
tournament in their hometown, while, for many of the
regional young players, this is
the only tournament they get
to compete in all season.
"We had a bit of controversy with some of the Iqaluit
parents this past year, but, for
the most part, we do a good
job hosting in Rankin.
"The communities and
the parents in the region are
grateful for the tournaments
we host, and how well they're
organized for the kids.
"We book the airfares for
the kids coming from the
smaller communities and do
what we can to help them cut
down on their travel costs.
"Rankin leads our region
in hosting hockey events and
the community is always very
supportive of them."
Clark said the young players love getting to play a big
game in front of a large, loud
crowd in Rankin.
He said he remembers
how exciting the experience
was for him when he was a
minor hockey player.
"I'd be counting down the
days all winter until our tournament. It's pretty exciting,
that feeling you have as a kid,
when you have trouble sleeping because you can't wait for
the tournament to come.
"I still remember it well
and, I'm sure, the kids today
feel the same way.
"Some of these kids will
be playing on our regional
teams a few years down the
road, and they'll have known
each other since their atom
and peewee days through
these events."
