Kayaks in Kugaaruk
Efforts are being made to bring tourists to Kugaaruk, according to Loy Lacson, community economic development officer. The community's economic development office is preparing to hold a kayak building, traditional sewing, and carving workshop this August, she said. Elders will teach community members how to build a kayak out of seal skin and sew it traditionally using a thread made from caribou, said Lacson.
