For World Hearing Day, Tusaajuit Nunavik and Andrea Makiuk of the Ungava Tulattavik Health Centre set up two information tables: at Pitakallak School in the morning, and at Jaanimmarik School in the afternoon. About 180 students and 50 staff members took part.
An audiometer demonstration, at safe sound levels, showed how hearing is measured. While they waited for their turn, students played a traditional Inuit game provided by ESUMA. We handed out earplugs, pens, sweaters, gloves and earmuffs to keep the conversation about safe listening going.
Thank you to Joe Snowball of Jaanimmarik School and Gina Jean of Pitakallak School for welcoming us.
