Five Organizations Join Forces to Build a Giant Qullik at the Upcoming Nunavik Recovery Centre
Kuujjuaq (February 22, 2022) – This year, the Isuarsivik Regional Recovery Centre will fulfill a cherished dream of its board of directors: the construction of a giant qullik in the lobby of its new centre. The Qullialuk, or “giant Inuit lamp” in Inuktitut, is an exceptional initiative for the region and it was made possible thanks to the commitment of five organizations, Glencore/Raglan Mine, Air Inuit, Avataq Cultural Institute, EVOQ Architecture, and Canadian North. Thanks to them and the Canada Council for the Arts, the Qullialuk project will be completed in time for the opening of the new centre in 2023.
