Don’t be shy to call ITK

In response to the letter, “Are ITK and CBC killing the Inuit language?” (Jan. 17), I would like thank Appitaq Enuaraq for bringing to our attention the fact that some of the ITK country food posters were being displayed in Pond Inlet.

On behalf of ITK, I would like to apologize to Appitaq and others for the spelling errors. We were immediately aware of the mistakes on the first print-run. These have been corrected.

Due to the errors on the Inuktitut side of the poster, a formal northern and southern mail-out of these posters did not take place. It appears that some posters from the first print-run have made their way to the Arctic.

We would like to assure readers that corrected versions of the country foods posters have been printed, and mail-outs of these beautiful posters to Inuit communities are scheduled to begin in February. Readers who would like to receive a set of four posters may contact ITK’s environment department toll-free at 1-866-262-8181.

Don’t be shy to call us — it may save you a letter to the editor.
