NTEP, Year 1...We are here!

The Qikiqtarjuaq NTEP class is finally up and running, and I really think this year's will be a great one. Classes started a few days ago, so we're still getting used to the changes, but I the community has already been so supportive success is surely in our future.

Today we hosted a barbeque for family and friends to celebrate this new beginning. Check out a few of our pictures!

We had a brief scare when we couldn't get the BBQ to start, but eventually our mad skillz got every ready. Here are Eena and Suzie, making sure everything goes as planned.
Yes, the 2 BBQ ladies again.




Dora stayed outside for moral support...doesn't she look cold?!

Lisa Iqqalik gave a wonderful blessing of the food and a big 'thank you' to the community...

We had a wonderful afternoon, and are looking forward to many more!
