Brady Tucktoo is currently apprenticing as a plumber with Agnico Eagle. He has completed training at Nunavut Arctic College’s Sanatuliqsarvik Nunavut Trades Training Centre and will continue his apprenticeship studies at Northwestern Polytechnic in Alberta.

Created in memory of Noah Paniyuk, a dedicated QEC employee whose skill and passion for his work continue to inspire, this scholarship recognizes leadership and encourages Nunavut students pursuing skilled trades training.

By supporting students like Brady and Bailey, QEC is committed to empowering communities through education and skills development in the territory.
