More than $3 million was awarded to eight organizations across the North as part of the 10th annual Arctic Inspiration Prize.
The awards, broadcast Friday evening on CBC and APTN, are Canada’s largest annual prize. It provides seed funding to new and innovative projects that improve the lives of people in the North.
Artist Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory and musician William Greenland hosted the virtual ceremony from opposite sides of the country — she was in Iqaluit and he was in B.C. — but that didn’t prevent the ceremony from having an intimate and celebratory feel.
