Dr. Geraldine Osborne, Nunavut’s chief medical officer, presents findings from the 2007-2008 Inuit Health Survey Contaminant Assessment. Its findings suggest pregnant women and women of childbearing age should avoid eating ringed seal liver due to its high mercury content. A feast is being held at 6 p.m. June 28 at the Anglican Perish Hall in Iqaluit, where more information about the survey will be shared.
