Educating the South

NAM has ordered that the GN immediately begin a national public relations campaign to raise awareness of Nunavut among Canadians.

NAM has proposed that the GN work with them and NTI to develop a campaign that would create a better understanding of Nunavut’s strategic benefits as one of the country’s territories.

Many Canadians and politicians in the South still don’t understand the benefits Nunavut brings to the country, and instead think of the territory as a financial drain on the rest of Canada, NAM stated.

Furthermore, members believe it is in Nunavut’s best interest to educate Canadians about the benefits its citizens, communities, businesses and resources bring to the sovereign interest of the North.
