About half of the people here are under the age of 18 and our population is growing rapidly. We have a school, two stores, a new arena, a community hall, a church, health center, hotel and an airport with regular flights to Iqaluit and Pond Inlet. We get more snow than many arctic communities and our air is always fresh. Our community is quiet. It is expensive to buy things here or to have things sent in by plane.
Some tourists come to mountain climb, hunt or take pictures.
We enjoy many sports, especially floor hockey. Children and adults like to play or walk around outside, visit with friends, go camping in the summer, and skidoo riding in the winter. Some people go with their dog teams. At special times we have a community feast. Many plants grow here such as lichens, moss, berries of different kinds, tundra grass, mushrooms, arctic willow, arctic heather and see weed in the ocean.
