Management studies moved out of Rankin?

I am writing a letter of complaint to the GN and the people of Nunavut, especially students.

I am a single parent of two girls who I adore and cherish very much. I am a college student in one of the main campuses in Nunavut.

I am disappointed that I cannot take my kids with me while I am out for my education. I have been informed that there are no family units available in Rankin Inlet, forcing me to leave my kids in my community.

This creates many negative thoughts for me:

1. Just the thought of leaving my kids crushes my frame of mind to study in my courses.
2. My children’s importance in getting a parent’s guidance is in jeopardy.
3. It’s like the air I breath has been like taken away from me.

This is an outrage and something should be done about this nonsense. Being a single parent is hard enough, and this has to happen to us. If the Rankin Inlet campus cannot provide family units for students, why keep the Management Studies Program in the region of Kivalliq?

I hope the GN does something about this situation in Rankin Inlet. I am petitioning to move the program somewhere else where they can provide a good education without having to leave children of college students and separating families for a whole year!

Secondly, living at the residence in Rankin Inlet has its cons. You have to eat out everyday, day-in and day-out at the restaurants, which can be very unhealthy for you!
