A Peaceful New Year's for Ulukhaktok

by Janet Kanayok

skate! The school staff did a great job organizing and holding the event.

Remember that the Sports fundraising committee is doing a lot of fundraising right now, they have 2006 calendars for sale (which by the way features our students drawings each month); they are also selling raffle tickets for a trip for 2 to Inuvik courtesy of Aklak Air. For more information please see Darcy George at the school.

In December during elections, the Hamlet of Ulukhaktok held an election for a possible name change from Holman to Ulukhaktok. A majority of the voters voted yes to change the name, currently the Hamlet is awaiting the paperwork from MACA.

We would like to welcome our new Community wellness worker, Dylan Payne to Ulukhaktok. He will be working out of the Wellness Centre. The food bank will now be located at the wellness centre, for more information please call Angela Kuneyuna.

I would just like to remind those in Ulukhaktok that if they have any greetings or news that they would like to share, please call me at 396-4946 or drop by.
