Nunavut Heritage Fair website: http://www.bdec.nu.ca/~hfairs The Canadian Heritage Fairs program was piloted in three Nunavut communities this year: Kugluktuk, Arviat and Iqaluit. The fairs take place at the local, regional, and national level, similar to our annual science fairs. They provide an opportunity for students from 10 to 14 years old to research and share topics of interest concerning their family, community, Inuit culture, and Inuit history. The local fairs were held in the participating schools in Arviat, Kugluktuk, and Iqaluit in April and May and four projects were chosen from each community to go on to the 'virtual'regional fair. The winning projects have been entered onto the Nunavut Heritage Fair web site: http://www.bdec.nu.ca/~hfairs Students involved in the winning projects were: Katie Sammon, Andrea Verreault, Jessica Sage, Haley Anawak, Nastania Mullin, Connie Mark, Mark Pallister, Sileema Anguyuak, Mialisa Noah, Anita Killabuk, Levina Munick, Taqialoo Michael, Olivia Kovic, Ulaaju Peter, and Jamis Qaunirq from Iqaluit; April Pigalak, Mila Kamingoak, and Melissa MacDonald from Kugluktuk; and Sherrie Lee Angalik, Stephanie Gibbons, Evan Freeman, Olivia Tagalik, Lori Flynn, Onerk Kalluak, Dianna Owlijoot, and Lisa Malla from Arviat. The teachers involved were Brenda Mercer, Christine Poirier, Belina Carter, Leslie Holtby, Paul Meggs, Carol Horn, and Martine St-Louis. Five winners from the regional competition will represent Nunavut in Ottawa at the National Heritage Fair from July 10 to 17. The judges for the regional fair consist of the grade 12 students from each of the three communities, a representative from Culture, Language, Elders and Youth (Attima Hadlari), Inuit Heritage Trust (Rhoda Arreak), Sustainable Development (Sandy Buchan), l'Association des francophones de Nunavut (Stephane Beaudin), and an elder, Pissuyui Anoee. > Please visit our students' projects on the Nunavut Heritage Fair web site! It is hoped that students and teachers who visit the web site will be interested in joining in the fair next year. http://www.bdec.nu.ca/~hfairs Sue Ball Secondary School Coordinator Early Childhood and School Services Division Nunavut Department of Education Box 8000, Arviat, NU, X0C 0E0 phone: 867-857-3059; fax: 867-857-3090 email: sball@gov.nu.ca _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
