Another successful CED Week has passed in the Hamlet of Cape Dorset. This was the second time the CED Week event, coordinated by the BRCC, was held in this community. Cape Dorset is a very warm and inviting community and, as always, a joy to visit.

Over 30 organizations participated in the event indicating just how important these events are for the communities and the participants. Once again there was a great turn out with over 300 people from the community coming to Peter Pitsiulak School for the afternoon trade show sponsored in part by Northwestel. In the evening, the community hall filled up quickly for the community feast which was sponsored in part by First Air and the Nunavut Fisheries Training Consortium. The evening included lots of food, lots of give-aways and lots of fun!

Our thanks to Qiatsuk Qiatsuk and the Hamlet of Cape Dorset, Ed Sheppard and the Peter Pitsiulak School, Mayor Cary Merrit and the citizens of the community, and the 30+ organizations that participated. All the help and support that we receive helps to make these events possible. 

Also a big thank you to our partners: the Government of Nunavut, Kakivak and Skills Canada, as well as our sponsors: First Air, Northwestel and the Nunavut Fisheries Training Consortium.

Our next CED Week events are scheduled for Igloolik and Hall Beach on March 20 and 27. For more information, or to register for these events, please call the BRCC's Event Manager, Jessica Dewar, at 867-979-4654 or send an email to events@baffinchamber.ca.
