Toronto Star caption: Recent hot weather Metro has enjoyed hasn't been enjoyed by Inuit Simeonie Eliasiapik who is demonstrating his skills as a soapstone sculptor at an arts and crafts show at Fairview Mall. Eliasiapik can't wait to get back to his village on the shores of Hudson Bay where the weather is more to his liking. He said he makes a good living from the sale on his soapstone carvings which are marketed through a co-operative which sees that he gets a fair price for his unique works of art.
