Charlie Panigoniak, Nunavut’s beloved guitarist and singer-songwriter, has died, reports CBC. He’s seen here playing one of his last shows, at a tribute concert held in his honour in Arviat in 2016. Panigoniak was born near Chesterfield Inlet but spent most of his adult life in Rankin Inlet. He credited his time spent in a southern Manitoba sanitorium to receive treatment for tuberculosis for exposing him to new styles of music. Panigoniak went on to record a number of Inuktitut-language albums, earning him a major following across Inuit Nunangat. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about a decade ago. Panigoniak died at home in Rankin Inlet on March. 6. He was 72. (File photo)

Philpott, who was currently serving as the federal government’s Treasury Board president, announced her resignation from cabinet on Monday, March 4. Her resignation follows that of her colleague Jody Wilson Raybould, who quit cabinet last month after she said she was pressured in her role as attorney general to intervene in the criminal case involving SNC-Lavalin. “I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations,” Philpott wrote in her resignation letter. Philpott first served as minister of Health in Trudeau’s government and later as the minister of Indigenous Services, where she worked closely with Inuit groups. She is credited with launching a plan to eliminate TB in Inuit Nunangat and initiated new legislation to better tailor youth protection services to Indigenous regions. (File photo)
