Youth and Elder Gathering Coming Up This Weekend

The Department of Health and Social Development (DHSD) in Nain is looking for 10 youth aged 16 to 30 interested in attending an Igluvigak (Snowhouse) making event.

The event will include learning how to make an Igluvigak, boil up, gathering to tell stories of healthy living, living smoke free, dangers and effects of smoking, how our ancestors didn’t smoke, and games.

You can also bring your sled for sliding and prizes.

The Polar Bear on the Rock story will be told as well.

The event will take place at the Mount Sophie area, on Saturday, February 10, 2018, starting at 9 am.

The Community is also welcome to attend.

If you have any questions, you can call Rutie Lampe, Elsie Russell, Shirley Jararuse or Susan Saksagiak at 922-2126.

If there are more than 10 names, they will pick out of a hat.

OK Radio will have more information about the Youth and Elder Gathering in the near future.
