Ilitaqsiniq (Nunavut Literacy Council) has developed a presence in the Kivalliq and Qikiqtani regions and now it's gaining a foothold in the Kitikmeot.

While images of reading may spring to mind in association with the literacy council, the activities that the group sponsors span a variety of hands-on cultural pursuits. In Cambridge Bay, the Miqqut project will focus on sewing, said Mike.
