Students protest housing unaffordability in Nunavut
From left, Emily Okalik, Julia Angoo, Carmen Rowell and Joy Angutikjuak tough it out on a cold, windy day at the four corners in Iqaluit to protest the high cost of housing in Nunavut. Elisapee Ashoona, the organizer of the protest, said the group wants Nunavut Housing Corp. to bring in a rent-to-own program. They have a petition asking the housing corporation to start such a program, which would allow tenants to buy the home they are renting. The housing corporation previously did have a tenant-to-ownership home program. “We want more options as Nunavummiut,” Ashoona said, adding “the high cost of living is affecting everyone.” The five are students in their second year of social service studies at Nunavut Arctic College, and this protest and petition are part of their schoolwork.
