Take Back the Night in Rigolet, Makkovik and Nain

OK Radio contacted the communities of Nain, Makkovik and Rigolet for the annual Take Back the Night event.

Nicole Dicker is the Executive Director for the Nain Safe House.

She says the Nain Safe House will not be holding a Take Back the Night march this year, but will be handing out information packages with some goodies to the community once their supplies have been received.

The expected delivery date is September 24th; however, she feels that it may be a bit later.

If you have any questions, or would like more information, please give Dicker a call at 922-1230.

Desiree Wolfrey is the Executive Director for Kirkina House in Rigolet.

She says that their march will be going ahead this Monday, September 21st.

They will be meeting at the Kirkina House and will be going around the block.

She says they will be giving out snacks and special face masks are ordered from Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

They will also be doing a prize draw with a chance to win gas and everyone is asked to practice social distancing.

Gemma Andersen is the Acting Team Leader with the Makkovik Department of Health and Social Development.

She says that they will have their walk next Friday, September 25th.

They will be meeting by the DHSD building and will be going around the block.

After the walk, there will be a fire pit lit and treats and supplies will be given out to each bubble.

Everyone is also encouraged to bring their own roasting stick and face masks.
