The story of “the bomber pages,” a publication in Inuvik

This is the Bomber Pages, a newspaper written by young people in Inuvik.

There were about 200 colour paper copies distributed in town, at the Youth Centre, video store, Inuvik Drum office, recreation centre, and other places.

Volunteers mainly came from Samuel Hearne secondary school and the Youth Centre.

Note: We let youth decide what to name the publication, and they chose “the bomber pages.” It’s local slang — apparently something “killer bomber” is something good. (We might change the title in the future, but they seem to like it for now.)

(You can find the previous issues of the Bomber Pages at the Inuvik Youth Centre’s website.)
