Saying that “a wealth building strategy is not a labour force strategy,” Michael Shouldice, the dean of Nunavut Arctic College’s Kivalliq campus in
Rankin Inlet, told participants at the Nunavut Mining Symposium in Iqaluit April 5 that more education and training for the mining industry is a crucial poverty
reduction measure for Nunavut. The symposium’s trade show opens to the public April 5 at Iqaluit’s Frobisher Inn from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
