In response to the pressing issue of food insecurity in Nunavut, this project aims to make a lasting impact through a two-pronged approach. The heart of the initiative lies in teaching boys and young men the traditional skills of fishing for Arctic Char in both winter and summer settings. The goal is to equip the young participants with the expertise needed for sustainable fishing practices. This innovative approach not only addresses food insecurity; it also creates economic sustainability for the project. By bridging the gap in traditional skills among indigenous boys and young men, this project seeks to empower them with meaningful employment opportunities and a chance to contribute to their communities.
