The OKâlaKatiget radio staff contacted the coastal communities on National Indigenous People’s Day activities.
In Makkovik they will have a tent set up and will have some tea and panitsiak on June 18 from 10am to 12pm and again from 1 to 3:30pm.
In Rigolet, they will have several activities to take part and a lot of great chances to win prizes.
For each activity that you post, your name will be entered into a draw prize. You can do as many as you want during the week.
In Rigolet, they will be doing activities such as preparing traditional food, build an inukshuk, take a picture of you or your family member on the land, and write a post about a tradition that was passed down to you and continue to practice.
You must post your pictures of each activity you completed in the comment section of the poster or inbox them to DHSD Rigolet. If you do not have access to Facebook you can drop by the DHSD office and show the staff your entries. The grand prize is a round trip for one with Air Borealis.
On Wednesday, June 23, you can drop by the Labrador tent outside of DHSD for some flummies and some tea from 9:30-11:30am and 1:30-3:30pm.
All participants will be entered in to the prize draws and the winners will be posted on Monday, June 28 at 3:30pm.
If you have any questions, please call the DHSD at 947-3328.
