Five hundred copies of the $20 calendar will likely be printed and 370 of those are already spoken for, according to Valter Botelho-Resendes, executive director for the Kitikmeot Chamber. He said advertisers paying for spots in the calendar have covered off the much of the cost associated with the project, leaving the bulk of the profits to go to local artists and arts programs.
