Very cool story...
Pangnirtung set to launch Nunavut country food market
Hamlet hopes to offer healthier options at PangFresh

Fresh, affordable food is not always easy to find in Pangnirtung, and the hamlet hopes to change that by opening up the community’s first country food market, Aug. 16.
“PangFresh,” as the hamlet calls it, is a pilot project that offers an opportunity for hunters, harvesters and fishermen to sell their catch — and open up a greater variety of healthy food options for the community at large, says Jenna Kilabuk, coordinator of the inaugural event.
“We have two grocery stores. They’re both very expensive and the food is not always fresh,” Kilabuk told Nunatsiaq News. “Community members always tell us they can barely afford to buy groceries.”
Country food is the favoured choice for most of the community, she said. Hunters and trappers commonly share their catch, but a market could open the door to a greater variety of choices in a single location.
