Nunavik health board elects new executive committee for 2025
Shirley White-Dupuis will continue to serve as board’s chairperson
The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services has announced its new leadership for the coming year.
Shirley White-Dupuis has been re-elected as chairperson, a role she will continue to hold from the 2023-24 term, said a news release Wednesday from the board.
The release contains the results of its Dec. 11 election, where elected Executive Members appointed new leaders from the 14 northern villages to the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services Board of Directors and sub-committees.
Claude Gadbois has been elected as vice-chairperson.
The executive committee will include members Victoria Tukkiapik and Sally Nuktie, as well as Jennifer Munick-Watkins as secretary.
The audit committee comprises Gadbois, Nuktie, Tukkiapik, Peter Iyaituk and Annie K. Novalinga.
The governance and ethics committee includes Adamie Alayco, Larry Watt, Sarah Beaulne, Casey Mark and Munick-Watkins.
The watchdog of the service quality committee features Munick-Watkins, Alayco, Samuilie Qumaluk, and Gadbois, as well as the regional service quality and complaints commissioner.
While the board of directors consists of one representative from each northern village within the region, positions for representatives from Umiujaq, Inukjuak, Akulivik, Kangirsuk, Aupaluq and Kangiqsualujjuaq remain vacant.
The position for a representative from the Kativik Regional Government also remains vacant.
White-Dupuis expressed her honour in welcoming the newly elected colleagues.
“I am confident that this team will work on innovative solutions and uphold the values of accountability, collaboration, and service excellence for the benefit of all Nunavimmiut,” she said in the release.
