N.W.T. art centre looks to build on former site of Akaitcho Hall, wants community input

With our Akaitcho Hall Gatherings coming up (in-person on June 17, 2025 and virtually on June 25, 2025), our Art Centre Development Specialist, Sara Komarnisky, and consultant, Crystal Fraser, spoke with CBC.

"We can't really move forward without having a conversation about what it means to people who went to the school, and to the public, about building an art centre in this space," Komarnisky said.

"So we're really hoping that folks can come out, in community. We're going to have wellness supports available. Share your stories, your thoughts about that site being re-purposed, and just add to this larger conversation about truth and reconciliation that we're having in the North," Fraser said.
