Tom Sammurtok, Nunavut’s minister of community and government services, centre, fields questions from mayors at the Baffin Mayors’ Forum March 5 with deputy minister Roy Green, left, and Darren Flynn, assistant deputy minister for community support. Questions centred around funding for municipal services and infrastructure of every description, from dusty roads and garbage dumps to training for mayors and other hamlet employees, which CGS provides for Baffin’s 13 municipalities. “Our staff will be visiting the communities more frequently,” Sammurtok promised.
