NTI board meets in Kuugaruk
The board of directors
of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. will be meeting in Kuugaruk from Sept. 10 to 12.
Board members will discuss
current negotiations with the federal and territorial governments concerning
updating the funding for the implementation of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.
The GN is seeking an increase
in funding to implement its Inuit employment initiative and to make Inuktitut
the working language of government.
The board will also hear
a report on the progress of revising the Wildlife Act. Consultations to create
a made-in-Nunavut act began last March.
In addition, the board
will examine a non-binding memorandum of understanding between NTI and Strongbow
Resources to explore for minerals in the Kitikmeot region.
Other issues include the
development of a Nunavut offshore fishery and the dog slaughter of the 1950s.
On the final day of the
meeting, the board will take part in a workshop on social and cultural development.
