IQALUIT, Nunavut - Inuit in Nunavut who get a COVID-19 vaccine could end up with a brand new ride. A new program means Inuit living in each of the territory’s 25 communities have a chance to win a snowmobile for getting their shots. Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the territory’s land claim body, is holding draws across Nunavut for vaccinated Inuit residents to win one of 25 machines. Esther Powell, clinical manager for COVID-19 with NTI, said she had been thinking about ways to encourage more Nunavut residents to get vaccinated. The snowmobiles are the main mode of transportation for Inuit in Nunavut,” Powell said.
