The Anglican church in Gjoa Haven is in need of further repair and Leroy Nakoolak is trying to raise $5,000 for the cause.

Nakoolak and several other parishoners combined periodic efforts over four months to install new drywall. However, the work is isnSA国际影视传媒檛 done. More drywall is required, a hole in the roof has to be fixed and new flooring is needed, said Nakoolak.

SA国际影视传媒淲e are not contractors but some of us had experience with drywalling and we had worked in some cabinsSA国际影视传媒� and there was also ladies cleaning in the church,SA国际影视传媒� he said of the volunteer corps.

The church, built in the mid-1960s, has a regular congregation of close to 30 people who attend weekly services, either on Wednesday evenings or Sunday mornings or evenings, he said.

Nakoolak has posted on social media asking for help, including from Yellowknife residents since heSA国际影视传媒檒l be making a trip there later this month and will be able to pick up donated items.
