Five-day courses take place in Iqaluit, Cambridge Bay and Rankin Inlet
As daytime in the Arctic is getting longer, Nunavummiut have the chance to learn more about solar energy and how to use it in their day-to-day lives.
Over five days last week for seven hours each day, 12 to 15 people attended a Relay Education course at Nunavut Research Institute in Iqaluit to learn how to safely install solar panels on cabins.
It attracted a mix of participants — some with a background in trades but who had never installed solar panels, and others who had no experience in that kind of work.
