The Hamlet of Arviat, Nunavut, is hosting a Senior’s Week at the local community hall from March 23 to March 28, 2026, to provide elders with a week of social and physical activities. This program is designed for residents aged 55 and older and their families to help them stay connected with their neighbours in Arviat.
Daily events at the Mark Kalluak Community Hall include various crafts, games, and fitness sessions. The hall is a central hub for the community and is named after a respected Inuit leader and educator who worked to preserve traditional stories and language.
People interested in participating can sign up for these activities by calling the hamlet office at (867) 857-2841. The local recreation department organizes these types of programs throughout the year to ensure residents have regular access to social gatherings and healthy activities.
This local initiative supports a broader goal from the Government of Nunavut to help elders age with dignity. By offering programs close to home, the hamlet helps seniors remain active and supported within their own community during the late winter season.
