Like any good winter carnival, Wiikwemkoong’s included a log-sawing, nail-driving and tea boiling contest.
The Wiikwemkoong Fire Department helped run the polar dip.
Dylan Odjig managed to chuck his cast iron pan an impressive 51 feet, three inches in the frying pan toss.
Chef Joe Shawana readies a beaver for the fire, freshly caught that morning, while Wikwemikong Tourism’s Jason Manitowabi looks on.
