fill three 20-foot shipping containers from the Westmount
Rotary Club. The containers will be sent to Kangiqsualujjuaq,
Kuujjuaq and Quaqtaq. The Rotary Club has made a commitment
to continue in this very helpful affiliation during the
coming years. Also, about one-third of a container of hockey
equipment was collected for Aupaluk.
One of the most rewarding AMI events was a bilingual
church service at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Lachine on May
17, 2003, followed by a special Inuit style community feast
and social. Reverend Iola Metuq from Kangirsuk, along with
David Okpik from Quaqtaq, provided the Inuttitut portion of the
service, while Reverend Barry Clarke handled the English. The
ceremony was especially outstanding in that 11 Inuit children
who live in the greater Montreal were baptized.
The AMI also celebrated the 25 th anniversary of Makivik
Corporation on July 12th at its building in Dorval. The AMI has
been using the Dorval building for their monthly feast gatherings
since May and will continue until the weather turns cooler,
probably in late September. With the blessing and understanding
of Reverend Clarke, they may then go back to using the hall at
St. Paul’s Church. The AMI will celebrate its fourth anniversary
in October, and wishes to thank Makivik for all its support over
this period. They also offer congratulations to the Corporation’s
executives and other board members on this silver anniversary,
recognizing the many achievements reached during the past 25
years on behalf of the beneficiaries of Nunavik.
