PANGNIRTUNG—Jenna Kilabuk’s living room window faces the snow-covered mountains that overlook Pangnirtung Fiord.
It also looks onto the community’s only bridge. One time, when Kilabuk looked out that window, she saw a girl try to jump off the bridge.
“Our young people are calling for help,” the 25-year-old hamlet councillor said last week, on May 23. “We want community members in Pang to know we are listening.”
