A Nunavut preschool is the winner of this year's $1 million Arctic Inspiration Prize. The Arctic Inspiration Prize rewards northern projects committed to addressing the "causes rather than the symptoms" of issues facing the North. "We couldn't have done this if the Inspiration Prize money hadn't been there," said Bagnell, adding that the program could be imitated "across the North." Yukon MP Larry Bagnell made a surprise appearance at the Arctic Inspiration Awards to announce matching federal funding for the Tr’ondek Hwech’in Teaching and Working Farm. Disclosure: CBC North is a proud sponsor of the Arctic Inspiration Prize.
