Healthy Horizons is delighted to select Ilitaqsiniq as the inaugural Healthy Horizons grant recipient. An $8,200 grant was awarded to Ilitaqsiniq to support the launch of a six-week Kids Cooking Class program.
Over the course of the program, 15 students from Simon Alaittuq School in Rankin Inlet, NU, learned how to cook and bake wholesome, healthy meals from scratch. The students were also taught traditional Inuit food preparation practices, to help carry on their culture through cuisine.
“The program’s holistic approach is a great way to build the confidence of the youth and encourage healthy habits from an early age.” – Adriana Kusugak, Literacy Coordinator, Ilitaqsiniq.
