No Kimmirut snowmobile race next year unless somebody else takes over
The volunteers behind Iqaluit’s Toonik Tyme won’t organize its popular snowmobile races to Kimmirut and back next year.
“We’re ready to pass the torch,” said Stephen Johnson, a spokesperson with 123Go!, the non-profit, volunteer-run organization responsible for the 61-year-old spring festival.
“We believe that the racing community is strong enough in its membership and supporters to organize the Kimmirut races in 2027.”
