Participating communities, individual, family and business donations of personnel, time, money and materials contributed greatly to the success of this event. Extra special recognition is due, however, to Arctic Bay residents Niore Iqalukjuak and Joeli Qamanirq, for the Nunavut Quest was their vision which they turned into reality. NAKURMIIK! (Thank you!) Note: Joeli reported that at a post-race drivers' meeting, it was decided that next year's event was to begin in Hall Beach the second week of March 2001 and end in Arctic Bay. Although he would have preferred that the race start in Clyde River and end in Pond Inlet, Joeli was happy that this year's participants wanted to continue on with the tradition next year. |
