Pond Inlet resident Joseph Krimmerdjuar poses beside his hamlet’s new elders bus. After a nine-month wait, Pond Inlet elders got their very own bus service starting Sept. 29. It will provide transportation to medical appointments and to buy groceries. The custom-made 2023 Ford E450 seats 14 passengers and is wheelchair accessible. The bus service, announced in December 2022, came about after the hamlet applied for federal funding through the Rural Transit Solutions Fund. The hamlet was awarded $150,000 from Infrastructure Canada, though the final cost jumped to $225,000. The hamlet paid for the additional $75,000. The on-demand service that began on Monday is available Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 11 a.m; 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.; 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Photo courtesy of David Stockley)

Pangnirtung elder Lazarus Ishulutak inspects the frames he built to stretch sealskins in front of his house on Tuesday. There were eight skins, that had been harvested by his grandson, lined up against his house. Ishulutak was building more frames on a fall day with the temperature about 4 C. Ishulutak is a knowledge-keeper who is often invited to teach traditional Inuit ways of hunting seals, whales and polar bears to elementary school students in the hamlet, his grandson Jerry Laisa said. Hunting quotas mean many young people in Pangnirtung haven’t taken part in traditional hunting the way Ishulutak has, Laisa said. (Photo by Corey Larocque)
