KUUJJUAQ — Whenever this group of about a dozen youth go jogging through their hometown of Salluit, they seem to draw a lot of attention.

“Sometimes kids come out and run with us,” said 16-year Arnaituk Caron.
Caron is one of 13 young people in the Hudson Strait community who are part of a new intensive cross-country ski and snowshoe program that’s building strong racers and maybe even stronger role models.
