Council approves funding
for wellness projects
Iqaluit city council has
approved funding for several community wellness projects.
The money comes from the
City of Iqaluits Brighter Futures and Building Healthy Communities funds.
About $47,000 of the money
will go toward a "single mothers retreat." Under this program,
Iqaluit resident Elisapee Davidee will take single mothers out camping on the
land.
The Iqaluit Music Society
will get $22,750.
Ten thousands dollars will
go toward the cost of sending some Iqaluit elders to the 2002 Elders Gathering
in Puvirnituq, Nunavik.
Another $72,375 will pay
the salary of a community wellness coordinator.
