Aarluk’s Chris Grosset traveled from Chesterfield Inlet to Sanikiluaq, and spent a week with Nick Burnaby of Nunavut Parks and Special Places, working with the community to identify potential locations for a proposed territorial park.  Consultations in February 2011 had selected several sites of cultural importance.  Last week Chris and Nick visited the sites with members of the committee and local guides.  Although the weather was poor, Lucassie Arragutainaq, Johnny Ippak, and Jacob and Lucy Uppak helped the team visit all of the sites to assess opportunities for a park.  Thanks to the Committee members for their guidance during the week - Mary Inuktaluk, Lucassie Arragutainaq, Joe Arragutainaq (Mayor of Sanikiluaq), Louisa Ippak, Harry Sala and Johnny Appaqaq.
