Weekend sentence allows man to continue college

Kingwatsiak Kingwatsiak, 34, received a 60-day intermittent sentence for assaulting his spouse.

The part-time sentence allows Kingwatsiak to continue with Arctic College’s jewelry and metalwork design program. He’ll serve his sentence on weekends.

Agitated by a crying baby, the well-known carver punched his spouse in the head when she failed to pacify the baby on May 29, 2002.

He was arrested that day and spent four months at the Baffin Correctional Centre before his sentencing on Sept. 24.

The woman and her three children now live in Nunavik.

Justice Robert Kilpatrick said the weekend sentence is subject to Kingwatsiak’s enrollment at the college.
