Government and community representatives, youth and elders, pose for a group shot Dec. 3 at the close of the fourth gathering of Nunavut’s Roundtable for Poverty Reduction. The multi-stakeholder group was formed two years ago, and had its inaugural meeting in June 2013, with a mandate to implement a strategy and action plan on food security in Nunavut. The theme of last week’s meeting was income assistance reform. The Government of Nunavut is currently holding community consultations on how best to improve the territory’s social assistance programs. (PHOTO BY DENISE LEBLEU)
