The deadline to apply for the kANGIDLUASUk Summer Student Program is today.
This year marks the ninth summer in the Torngat Mountains for the program.
This is a great way to live and work with Inuit leaders, Elders, Arctic researchers, musicians, artists, writers, Parks Canada staff and international visitors.
We spoke with Mandy Arnold, the Youth Outreach worker with DHSD.
Arnold says the 2 week program runs from Saturday August 1 to Saturday August 15th, 2015.
She says there are 9 to 10 students from Nunatsiavut attending this year, and 2 or 3 students from Kangiqsualujjuaq.
In total, 12 students will be traveling to the Torngat Mountains this summer.
Arnold says funding came from the Nunatsiavut Government, Tides Canada, Torngat Mountains Cooperative Management Board, the TessiujatsuakTrust Fund, the Provincial government, Advance Education and Skills, and in-kind support from Parks Canada.
