Dial CLEY for dollars

Nunavut residents with questions about how to get money from the department of culture, language, elders and youth may now use a toll-free number to contact the department’s employees.

The number is 1-866-934-2035.

A CLEY news release issued this week says “the number will give Nunavummiut access to knowledgeable staff who can assist in developing projects and filling out application forms.”

CLEY hosts a variety of handout programs aimed at helping people pay for projects related to things like culture, heritage, language, the arts, elders and youth, women, and disabled people.

Meanwhile, CLEY also announced this week that it has donated a total of 200 sets of Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun flash cards to the Nunavut Literacy Council.

The cards are aimed at helping children learn the Inuit languages.
