Nunavik’s next crop of caregivers

The first class of Nunavik’s Institutional and Homecare Assistance program graduated this month. The program was launched by Kativik Ilisarniliriq and the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services last year to train people to care for Nunavimmiut who are sick, injured or have lost autonomy. Graduates are pictured from left: Levina Ittulak (Kuujjuaq), Nancy Watt (Kuujjuaq), Susie Annatok (Quaqtaq), Louisa Etok (Kangiqsualujjuaq), Natalie Shipaluk (Kuujjuaq, absent from photo), Eva Sequaluk (Kuujjuaq) and Maggie Saunders (Kuujjuaq).
