Today #ConnectedNorth was honoured to have Her Excellency @GGCanada participate in a session with educators from across Nunavut. Featuring a conversation with @KoonooHan and a Q&A, the message that educators are an essential and important part of #reconciliation inspired all!

"Inuit did not depend on anyone from another culture to do the counselling, adoption of orphans , marriage counselling, caring for the sick, policing criminals & so many others in the life of Inuit… 1/2
Bad news is, your options are onions or lemons for fresh produce.
Good news is, you can get a good deal on a guitar so you can sing the no fresh produce blues.
Anyone know what's going on with our food shipment situation? Seems Nunavut wide?!
Currently in Iqaluit. Our two main stores have low supply of fresh produce all week, several factors resulting in the shortage including the increase of COVID-19 food support programs as well as staff/crew shortages for flying in the produce. Hopefully we are re-stocked soon
Last month, I wrote a draft letter to the premier of #Nunavut and #PMJT letter about the importance of needing more mental health support and services in #Nunavut#Canada.
I’ve been thinking about doing a open letter to put more pressure to the people in the position of power.
This year was definitely one of the most challenging year for me. But one thing I’m proud of myself is that I had the opportunity to learn the basics of processing a sealskin.
Hoping for a more gentle New Year✨
