THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA SUPPORTS FOUR NUNAVUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
IQALUIT, Nunavut (March 17, 2005) - Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Member of Parliament (MP) for Nunavut, and the Honourable Ethel Blondin-Andrew, Minister of State (Northern Development), on behalf of Andy Scott, Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, announced today that the Government of Canada has invested $299,460 in four projects that will help build Nunavut’s economic foundation and provide the tools to access economic opportunities in Nunavut.
“Nunavummiut are working hard,” says MP Karetak-Lindell, “to carve out a strong future for Nunavut’s traditional and modern economies, incorporating leading-edge technologies and skills and knowledge development. The Government of Canada is very pleased to support these endeavours and we continue our commitment to supporting sustainable approaches to growth and innovation.” “Through the fund for northern economic development, the Government of Canada helps create a better quality of life for Inuit and Northerners,” says Minister Blondin-Andrew. “These investments have the potential to yield significant benefits for both the territory’s economy and the well-being of individuals.”

Creation of Nunavut
On April 1, 1999, the map of Canada changed. The former Northwest Territories (NWT) was divided in two, creating a new territory called Nunavut. In the Inuit language, Inuktitut, the word "Nunavut" means "our land."
The territory fulfils a long-time dream for Inuit of the Eastern Arctic. They govern a territory of about two million square kilometres, one fifth of Canada's total land mass.
The Nunavut government is a public government, elected by all residents, Inuit and non-Inuit. But because Inuit make up the majority of the population, they can shape the government to reflect their culture, traditions and goals. The Government of Nunavut enables Inuit to assume their rightful place in Canada and take charge of their destiny.
The largest land claim settlement in Canadian history
The federal and territorial governments and Inuit in the Eastern Arctic talked about dividing the NWT for many years. In 1976, the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (now known as the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami [ITK]) asked the federal government to map out a boundary between the eastern and western regions of the NWT. The ITK represents Inuit across Canada. It wanted the eastern region of the NWT to be the Nunavut Territory because of Inuit land claims in that area.

Welcome to Nunavut
In the Inuit language of Inuktitut, Nunavut means "Our Land". It is the name given to the ancestral home of the Inuit of the central and eastern Arctic, and to the new Territory of Nunavut in Canada's eastern Arctic. Though the creation of the Territory of Nunavut on April 1, 1999 represents a new chapter in the story of Canada's confederation, the story of Nunavut and the Inuit who make their lives there is an ancient one, going back over thousands of years of continuous habitation. The creation of the Territory of Nunavut and the finalization of the historic land claim settlement between the Nunavut Inuit and the Government of Canada adds a new dimension to the evolving history of both Nunavut and Canada.

The creation of Nunavut as Canada's third territory has led to a streamlined health system operated by the government's Department of Health and Social Services. The department has administrative offices in each of the three main centers: Cambridge Bay (Kitikmeot), Rankin Inlet (Kivalliq), and Iqaluit (Baffin or Qikiqtani). In addition a Practice Division has been set up in Kugluktuk (Coppermine). Through 25 remote health centers , two public health clinics, a Home Care system, a birthing center in Rankin Inlet, rehabilitation services and the Baffin Regional Hospital in Iqaluit, the department provides a wide range of health services to the people of Nunavut. The department is also responsible for social work, mental health, dental services and environmental health services CASUAL, JOB SHARE AND REGULAR RELIEF POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN ALL AREAS. Whether you want a unique wilderness adventure or a special work experience, Nunavut offers a great variety of both. In most communities a short hike will take you to peaceful alpine meadows and ponds with exquisite arctic flowers and migrating birds. In winter and spring there is cross - country skiing and snowmobiling to take you out on the land for tea and bannock or just to enjoy the serenity and incredibly varied arctic landscape. And little wonder it's varied! Covering 1.99 million square kilometers (one-fifth of Canada's land mass) and stretching 2500 km from east to west and 2500 km north to south, it is larger than most European countries. With a population of only 28,000 it is one of the least populated and unspoiled regions on the planet. With the development of its own territorial government and the necessary infrastructure, coupled with mining, construction and tourism, the economy is healthy.

Nunavut
The Land
On April 1, 1999, the map of Canada changed with the birth of the new territory of Nunavut. Nunavut means "our land" in Inuktitut, the Inuit language. It is a vast territory - larger than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec combined - that contains one fifth of Canada's land. This is the first major change to the map of Canada since Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Nunavut's lands are made up of the central and eastern portions of the Northwest Territories (NWT). To the Inuit people, this land, their ancestral home for thousands of years, has always been Nunavut. The idea for the territory with its own government was articulated by Inuit leaders in the 1970s.
The History
As the newest partner in the federation, Nunavut is the latest development in Canada's nation building. All Canadians can take pride in the outstanding achievement the birth of the new territory represents. Canada has redrawn its map peacefully, democratically and in partnership. The creation of Nunavut also marks a profound shift in how Canada relates to Aboriginal peoples. Inuit, as the majority population of Nunavut, are shaping the territorial government in keeping with their culture, traditions and aspirations.

    OTTAWA, September 12 , 2000 - The Government of Canada is providing $100,000 to help establish a law school in the new territory of Nunavut. The Honourable Anne McLellan, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, announced the funding today at a formal signing of the agreement between the Department of Justice and the Akitsiraq Law School Society in Nunavut. The Akitsiraq Law School Society has formed a partnership with the University of Victoria to develop the fully accredited law school program in Canada's Arctic. The program, the first in Canada primarily for Inuit students, is scheduled to open in September 2001. "The Government of Canada is committed to supporting Nunavut in its evolution towards self-sufficiency. Nunavut-trained lawyers will make a valuable contribution to the territory's growth and development. I am pleased to support this innovative project," said Minister McLellan. Currently, there is only one Inuk lawyer in Nunavut - Premier Paul Okalik. Premier Okalik is Honourary Chair of the Akitsiraq Law School Society.

    Program Details Funding The Infrastructure Canada Program (ICP) allocation to Nunavut is $2,131,000. With contributions from our territorial and local government partners, the total infrastructure investment in Nunavut will be over $ 4 million. ICP funds were allocated according to a formula that gives equal weight to population and unemployment, a formula the Government of Canada believes takes into account the economic status and investment needs of all regions. While funding ratios vary from project to project, the federal and territorial governments typically each fund one-third of eligible costs for tax-based communities; applicants typically pay the remaining one-third of eligible costs. For non-tax based communities, the federal and territorial governments typically each fund one-half of eligible costs.

    The CBC Lockout Leaves Inuit Adrift on the Radio Dial
    As the CBC lockout drags on millions of Canadians are left without programming they are accustomed to. In southern Canada, there are many alternatives, and the lockout will likely be devastating mostly to the CBC's viewership and listenership. It’s an entirely different story in the Arctic. There are few if any alternatives to the CBC Northern Service broadcasts in Inuktitut and English. Radio continues to be king in the Arctic, the medium of choice for an oral culture. Inuktitut rules the airwaves on the CBC, and regular hosts – who are a part of the daily lives of Inuit across the North – are sorely missed. They are missed not only for their humanity, but for vital survival information transmitted over the airwaves. As fall and winter loom inevitably on the horizon, that survival information becomes more critical. Flight information, Medivacs, school closings, weather conditions, high tides, low tides, winds and sunrise and sunsets are no longer part of broadcasts. Inuit hunters rely on this information before setting out. The daily morning radio programming broadcast from Toronto by CBC management staff is the palest of the pale in comparison with regular CBC Radio morning shows originating from Goose Bay, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Inuvik, and Yellowknife (to name a few). From those locales regular programming provided critical information for each day, cultural sustenance in the form of the Inuktitut language spoken in a somewhat official “newspeak”, and more colloquially in current affairs interviews and on-air banter between regular CBC hosts (northern personalities) and their guests.

Scientists predict that by the end of the 21st century, temperatures in the Arctic will be at least 5°C warmer than they are today. Across Nunavut, we are already seeing changes in seasonal conditions, including warmer year-round temperatures, unpredictable weather, a shift in prevailing wind direction, less snow and rain, and changing snow and ice conditions. These changes are making it more dangerous and difficult to travel and to access resources. In western Hudson Bay, ice break up is occurring two weeks earlier, on average, than it did 20 years ago. This shortens the time available for polar bears to fatten up on their main food source, ringed seals, before going on shore where they fast. As a result, adult bears have been getting lighter and females, who fast until weaning their cubs the next spring, have been having fewer cubs.
