Language Week will focus on standards

Nunavut’s department of culture, language, elders and youth will use this year’s Language Week, Feb. 10 to 16, to draw attention to the importance of maintaining linguistic standards.

CLEY says it will work with the Nunavut Social Development Council, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., Nunavut’s regional Inuit associations and Nunavut language commissioner Eva Aariak to hold activities aimed at promoting the use of Inuktitut.

A GN news release says that CLEY and the NSDC plan to make language week “an important annual event on Nunavut’s cultural calendar.”
