Organizers of the annual national Indigenous Day barbecue in Rankin Inlet are taking a wait-and-see approach as to when they'll be able to host the event this year, but host it they will in one form or another said Kissarvik's general manager.

Walter Morey said he's hoping more restrictions surrounding Covid-19 will be lifted in the near future that will allow the barbecue to go ahead.

He said there was some discussion at a recent Co-op meeting regarding the event and wait and see was the path chosen at that time.

SA国际影视传媒淲e certainly want to do it but we just weren't able to do it on the day we traditionally host it on June 21 because of the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place,SA国际影视传媒� said Morey.

SA国际影视传媒淪o we're going to hold out for a bit and if the restrictions lift we'll do it.

SA国际影视传媒淏ut if they don't lift the restrictions in, say, the next month, it's possible that we'll look at a different way of recognizing and celebrating the day.

The Kissarvik Co-op and the Rankin Inlet detachment of the have partnered to host the national Indigenous Day barbecue for more than a decade.

Morey said funding for the event has all been approved by the Government of Canada to celebrate the day.

He said the Co-op's partner in the event, the , who chip in to host the barbecue, are also not prepared to do anything as long as the current Covid-19 restrictions remain in place.

SA国际影视传媒淲e're certainly not going to do anything to violate the restrictions in place. We're going to play it safe and be careful.

SA国际影视传媒淲e're seeing some restrictions being lifted now. This past Monday we were able to open our restaurants at half capacity.

SA国际影视传媒淪o we're hoping that in another two weeks we'll see another portion of the Government of Nunavut's reopening plan go into effect that will allow larger gatherings.

SA国际影视传媒淪ometimes we get as many as 300 or 400 people out to the barbecue, so we have to be sure we'd be OK to host that many when we finally go ahead with it.SA国际影视传媒�
