'There was a lot of different equipment at the school that burned down in the fire,' KPAC volunteer
- Peter Pitseolak school in Cape Dorset, Nunavut, burns to the ground
- Cape Dorset school fire fundraiser gets 'incredible response'
The school burned down on Sept. 6, leaving the hamlet scrambling to find space for students and forcing organizations like the Kinngait Performing Arts Club (KPAC), that stored their equipment and instruments at the school, to replace their gear.
"They also had a little recording studio that is also gone — everything that was in there is all gone, actually."
"Throughout the night... some would leave and some would come, but now, since the fire, the numbers have gone up," said Parr.
This weekend, KPAC is hosting Saali Keelan of Saali and the Raven Hearts.
Keelan will be working with the non-profit organization to put on a few musical workshops for kids in the community. This Saturday, Keelan will be joined by acclaimed Nunavut band The Jerry Cans for a concert in the hamlet.
Tickets are on sale for $10 prior to the show or $15 at the door.
