Commissioner of Nunavut Arts Award

Baker Lake, Nunavut
May 21, 2024

I had a very special time in Baker Lake on May 21st. It was an honour to present Nancy Pukirngnak Aupaluktuq with the Commissioner's Arts award, celebrating her artistic vision and her deep knowledge of Inuit culture and traditions. I also presented Commissioner's awards to people being recognized for their service to Baker Lake. It was a wonderful celebration with performances, games and a square dance. Alianait!
