Environmental club holds barbecue for aluminum can fundraiser

Bring your cans, get a hot dog.

That’s the promise Aqsarniit middle school’s Green Club is making to those who visit its recycling and barbecue event in Iqaluit on Saturday.

Last month the group placed a wooden bin outside the school for residents to drop off recyclable cans from non-alcoholic drinks. The club has partnered with the Government of Nunavut’s Environment Department, and it will receive $1,500 if the members fill a sealift container.
