To ensure our survival, we need better supply logistics, otherwise fresh products are no longer fresh when they arrive. A lot of fresh products end up in the dump. For example, we no longer order ice cream because it is melted by the time we receive it. The cold chain is very hard to maintain back home. It is a big problem.
That being said, our co-operative is not limited to sales. We also help the community through other programs. If an artist comes to us, we buy a sculpture from them, which gives them money. They could use that money for food or to do some shopping.
However, to ensure our survival, air transportation logistics need to be improved. Canadian North does not fly to our region. We have to use subcontractors for airport infrastructure reasons. Why doesn't the airline fly to Kimmirut?
