Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie: Team Air Inuit donates $25,000 to Pigiurvik School in Salluit

Once again this year, Team Air Inuit took part in the 1,000 km relay, an involvement that naturally aligns with the company’s mission. Being present on the ground, supporting Nunavik communities, and taking concrete action that makes a difference—this annual challenge is a meaningful expression of that commitment.

Over four days, team members took to their bikes with a shared purpose: to turn every kilometre ridden into a tangible impact for Nunavik youth.

It is with great pride that Team Air Inuit donated, on September 9, a total of $25,000 to ᐱᒋᐅᕐᕕᒃ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᕕᒃ – Pigiurvik School in Salluit, the beneficiary school designated by Kativik for the 2025 edition. The funds will be used to purchase sports equipment for students, helping to encourage physical activity and the joy of movement.

The 1,000 km is not a race, but a challenge of endurance and teamwork. Relays follow one another, energy is shared, and the fundraising effort, made possible through the involvement of employees, partners, and donors, becomes the driving force behind the initiative.
