New polar mosque helps attract qualified professionals to Canada’s arctic

My May/June-2011 article with Edward Atkinson for "Above & Beyond:  Canada's Arctic Journal" explains the complicated logistics recently undertaken by Northern Canada's growing Muslim community to build their first mosque above the Arctic Circle.  From a human-resources standpoint, what I find especially interesting about their achievement is that Denny Rodgers, mayor of Inuvik, the community where they established the mosque, credits the new building with the ability "to help us attract quality professionals to move here, bring their families, and become part of the community."  You can find a condensed version of the full article at:  http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Earcticjournal%2Eca%2Findex%2Ephp%2F2011%2F05%2Fnew-polar-mosque%2F&urlhash=JhHS&_t=NUS_UNIU_SHARE-lnk&trk=NUS_UNIU_SHARE-lnk.
