Three Nunavik organizations will receive $100,000 each in funding for various projects, the Quebec government announced Dec. 15.
Kativik Regional Government will be getting $100,000 to build a recycling centre next to its eco-centre.
With its $100,000, the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau will host a summit to address housing issues in Nunavik. Meanwhile, the Inuit theatre company Aaqsiiq will get $100,000 to promote Inuktitut through a diction guide for Nunavimmiutitut, which is a dialect of Inuktitut.
The funding comes as part of a spending initiative from Quebec’s northern initiatives fund, or fonds d’initiatives nordiques. Overall, the fund is giving approximately $900,000 to northern Quebec communities.
I hope KMHB summit will be in Hawaii , so i can get a free trip and work on my tan .
Simple problem with housing in nunavik is its in short supply and the one that are occupied and in rent arears
What about Isuarsivik, a trip to sunny south or Hawaii. Somebody excited now for some special spending, we don’t see that too much or what? This place needs funding.
how much to build the road to go up there? whats the total cost of that palace? …
40 MILLION
The cost is way out of proportion to what it can, or will accomplish for Nunavik. It’s a waste, is a waste. It’s an example of how nunavik is ineffectively using money and resources to only go further into needing more money and resources to keep up with the waste of money and resources that’s ahead of any means to a healthy ending when the money has disappeared into poor management. There’s no insight, no incentive, supported by no real education and or motivation to do well. That’s isuarsivik and the brain child of Nunavik leadership, and group mentality gone very wrong.
I truly hope that all of you are involved in community organizations to contribute to the betterment of your people. You guys seem to have the answers to everything and I believe that your commitment would benefit several social causes within your region. Nunavik needs its people to be part of the solution rather than hiding themselves behind their screen and commenting on community organizations that they have no clue about. Happy holidays!
The people of Nunavik that you are failing to refer to are the ones existing to just get hold of more money to do more lying around doing literally utterly nothing, while the transient people of Nunavik are soaking up most of that funded money building the infrastructure and houses and everything else so the people that you are not referring to , but should be referring to continue to do nothing; resulting in 40 million dollar structural play houses and coop beer cans at the dump, with used bingo cards in the millions. Trucks in the ditch, using other vital resources like intensive care and judges , lawyers, police, and contributing to st Jerome’s inmate population.
NUNAVIK IS A BIG MONEY PIT !!!!!!!!!!!
Will the funding to be given, contribute to getting more waste at the kuujjuaq dump, or will the funding help the waste that’s already there to become a symbol of less waste as time goes? That’s a good question she said! The kuujjuaq dump is a documentation of a life of neglect. Much of the metal there would otherwise in a developed world be recycled and used, repaired, and so forth. But the fact that it has not moved anywhere to be used that way, it’s displaying a live show for anyone to see. Recycling is only part of what can be done with the mountains of metal, but there’s more learning available. The waste represents also abused of the material, like just throwing out what can be otherwise repaired , reused within the community, but wait why not throw it out, when theres funds always coming available to get more new material to waste. It’s a viscous cycle of funding , material purchase and dumping. To get more and more because there’s no incentive to do otherwise, when there always more funding to people and organizations.
Some good artists and musicians in Nunavik, but I’m not referring to all that are in the Nunavik lights. Lots of ordinary citizens are talented. But if you observe some of the ones in lights with a name or a piece of music or art that has potential, you’ll often find that the potential stops and drops off once the Nunavik funding runs out for a while. So it becomes a full dependent entity alive only by the nunavik funding. Outside of that they are nothing. No growth into the Quebec or Canadian, or global markets, just a Nunavik fund operated company or individual. When they do come to perform at venues in Nunavik, Ottawa , Winnipeg , Montreal, Toronto, it’s funded by the organization of Nunavik funds. You get to their shows by paying little due to a limited vision, well funded negatively, and motivated only for that. It’s sad
The funding usually don’t get to the needy. Or should I emphasize that the funding goes to areas where funding is not needed. Keep an eye on the greed and greedy people involved. Nunavik has a poverty problem that these funds don’t address when they should be doing that as a priority. There are people living below the radar that greed bypassed. Elders , single parents, kids, and handicapped but functioning people that need a little assistance that could make a difference, but they’re not even thought of as the waste makes its rounds. People need help with a simple thing like a ride to the store, or help for a few hours with a child. An elder needs some meat or fish. There’s so much in little ways, that belongs to Inuit life, but material, greed and wasted funds bypassing it all, only a few benefit. My suggestion to those coming up with these funds and needs: get an education in humanity and look around and see the needs. Get a caring task force group to really evaluate.
