Volunteers and long-serving hamlet employees receive awards for their work
More than 100 people came together in Kinngait May 6 to honour local volunteers, including the hamlet’s only female firefighter.
“She got up and said, ‘Women can do this too!’” said Dawn Currie, one of the event organizers, of Koonoo Qaumagiaq.
Qaumagiaq, the rest of Kinngait’s volunteer firefighters and dozens of others accepted awards for their service to the community at an appreciation dinner held at Peter Pitseolak Secondary School.
