New cases in Sanirajak, Rankin Inlet, Pangnirtung and Iqaluit bring restrictions on Christmas Eve
Non-essential travel and gatherings are grinding to a halt across Nunavut this Christmas Eve as cases of COVID-19 were discovered in multiple communities overnight.
The community gathered for a meal on Saturday
People in Pond Inlet gathered for a country food feast of maktaaq, tuktu, quaq and iqaluk on Saturday, ahead of the holiday season. Joanna Innualuk-Kunuk and her husband Abraham Kunuk hosted the gathering, where Sandra Omik took some photos. “I told our youngest that we were eating some of what Kautaq and Joanna caught over the summer and fall, when we briefly visited them a few days at their camp at Saviit,” she said.
