Nunavut shoots for the
top
Nunavummiut took the top
three positions at the Junior Canadian Ranger Regional Air Rifle Competition
last week in Yellowknife.
Moses Ippak, 17, of Sanikiluaq
was the competition’s overall top shooter and was joined by his hamlet
teammate Sarah Kudluarok, who placed second overall.
The team from Pangnirtung,
known as the "the Pang Gang," impressed everyone at the competition
with their spirit. JD Nookiguak of Pangnirtung was the top Nunavut qualifier
coming to the competition and the third overall.
Over 1,000 Junior Canadian
Rangers took part in the elimination shoots and 21 were invited to the championship.

Baker Lake to host spring
legislative assembly session
MLAs will travel to Baker
Lake in a couple of months for the spring sitting of the legislative assembly.
The Baker Lake sitting
will be the second time the assembly has travelled to the Kivalliq region and
the fourth time it has sat outside Iqaluit.
The house has made it a
practice to sit outside the capital at least once a year. The decision to hold
the next sitting in Baker Lake — even though the last sitting outside Iqaluit
was held in Pangnirtung in October — is possibly in anticipation of a fall
election.
