Inuvik? Yes, community gardens go north - a podcast by Hugh Kruzel

21 years ago the community of Inuvik turned their hockey arena into a community garden.  Replacing the roof with a transparent surface essentially offered an 18,000 square foot space to grow vegetables in a moderated space.  They only use the growing season as there is no supplemental heating, but when summer arrives things thrive. 56 days of continuous sunlight. The result is amazing bounding production at the peak of summer and on towards Labour Day.   Executive Director, Ray Solotki, talks about the history, this year's season, and the challenges faced as the Pandemic changed how they operate.
