Premier recognizes literacy instructor for work in Iqaluit jails

Patrick Woodcock, centre, an author and literacy instructor, receives the 2024 Council of the Federation Literacy Award for Nunavut, for his work helping Nunavummiut who are incarcerated. Woodcock was presented the award by Justice Minister David Akeeagok, left, and Premier P.J. Akeeagok at the legislative assembly on Tuesday. Woodcock is based in Iqaluit, and he hopes the award will help with fundraising for the continuation of his work under the national United for Literacy program. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)

    I hope this initiative helps PJ and uncle David make up for their lack of schooling and become better and more useful people. With a bit of luck, one day they may be able to start reading their briefing notes.
