Yesterday the KIA had the pleasure of meeting with Max Bernays crew members as part of their Cambridge Bay visit. In addition to discussing potential ways to better connect with the Kitikmeot, crew members presented the KIA with a generous donation to be shared equally among all Kitikmeot communities for food banks/food insecurity charities.
