Photo: A milestone for Nunavik midwives

Baby Tom Unaluk is pictured with dad Conlucy Niqtairaaluk and mom Leah Unaluk shortly after his birth Aug. 19 in Puvirnituq. Baby Tom had a special welcome; he was the 3,000th baby delivered by midwives at Nunavik’s community’s maternity centre, the first to open in the region. The centre, staffed by five Inuit midwives and two students, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Read more later at Nunatsiaqonline.ca. (PHOTO BY A. NAVICKAS)
