Pingngupaa Challenge

Every year in February, participants from the 14 communities of Nunavik and beyond take part in the Pingngupaa Challenge. This month-long event allows them to kickstart a lifestyle change and reflect on their relationship with alcohol and drugs. Participants are invited, whether they want to change their substance use habits or not, to identify recovery goals that are realistic to themselves and respectful of their reality. The Pingngupaa Challenge provides them with a chance to initiate a positive change towards sobriety or to simply decrease substance use. It also encourages finding methods to minimize the related risks, or to reflect on the role of substance use in their life.

In March, Isuarsivik will hold a raffle for participants and their sponsors as a token of gratitude for everyone’s contribution to recovery.
