New community freezer on the way Baker Lake The Department of Economic Development is providing $799,000 to design and build a new community freezer in Baker Lake, Minister David Akeeagok said in the legislative assembly on March 5. The new structure will take the place of an aging and malfunctioning community freezer that broke down last July, resulting in the loss of thousands of pounds of meat. The parts for the new community freezer were shipped to Baker Lake in fall 2020, Akeeagok noted. It's expected that the structure will be assembled, the power hooked-up and the freezer will be in use by this summer, he added. The money for the project comes through the GN's Country Food Distribution Program, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada and the Canadian Northern Regional Development Agency (CanNor). "I want to congratulate Mayor (Richard) Aksawnee, the Ham- let of Baker Lake and the Baker Lake HTO for its hard work on this project," Akeeagok said. "Harvesting plays a vital role in the social economy and we as a department support and understand this and will collaborate with the communities to ensure that the Country Food Distribution Program is utilized to the needs of each unique community." – Derek Neary Therapeutic Justice Program launched Arviat A program rooted in Inuit societal values that aims to reform offenders has been launched in Arviat. The Therapeutic Justice Program engages clients in traditional activities such as on-the-land hunting excursions, tool-making, sewing traditional clothing and taking part in traditional counselling. Formal mental health assessments are also included. "This model is designed to address offending behaviour with meaningful and culturally appropriate interventions that ensure the success of the participants and helps them build connections in their community," Justice Minister George Hickes said in the legislative assembly on March 3. The initiative got its start as a pilot program in Cambridge Bay in 2019. In Arviat, it will be funded through Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, the Aqqiumavvik Society and the Arviat Elders' Committee. – Derek Neary kivalliq news, Wednesday, March 10, 2021 feature news êΩËîΩÇéíÇÀîᓄê á·∆¿ÖÀî r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, ᒫµ5y 10, 2021 3 Did we get it wrong?

I have a board – I've been the chair for all those years – and we need community members to run it. It's all volunteer because we feel that money we get for our counselling service is used to do the healing for the people. It takes dedication. It takes a lot of work sometimes. I always believe that we have to take ownership of that. We shouldn't expect the federal government to do it because a lot of times they don't know the situation up here.

NN: In the past, you also served as the first president of the Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council. You were once a member of the NWT Status of Women Council, the National Crime Prevention Council and the Sexual Abuse Coalition of the NWT. Where does your passion for activism come from? RK: I'm a survivor of residential school and also the TB pandemic that happened when I was a child. I had to leave a very loving family when I went to residential school at age nine, which I thought didn't hurt me at all because I love school. When I became an adult, married with children, I started to realize that some kids didn't grow up in a safe place like I did. Especially thinking of children, if there's family violence in the home how helpless they must feel. So I decided that I can speak for them [pauses, overcome with emotion]. I'm sorry. I'm passionate about it, I guess.

NN: You've been president of Pauktuutit since 2014. How much longer do you think you'll have the drive to do this? RK: I have two more years on my last term, but I always say I don't know when to quit. Because when you're dealing with people's lives, when do you stop doing that, trying to help them? But we have very dedicated young people on the board ... so the future is looking good for Pauktuutit for the work to go on ... Pauktuutit will keep working very hard to ensure the voices and interests of Inuit are heard at all levels of government.

NN: Who are the women who have been most influential in your life and what sorts of things have they taught you? RK: I came from very strong women. My mother, she just turned 89. She's always cheerful – even though she's in a wheel- chair she's always trying to help people. And I had a father also who was very determined. He survived 28 days on the land at age 81. He had survival skills to do that. I think my parents are my strength to this day.

NN: What are the things that you enjoy in life outside of advocating for others? What are your pastimes and other sources of joy? RK: Helping out with my grandchildren and I have two great- grandchildren now. I also enjoy doing outdoor stuff like fishing. I help my grandson do some ptarmigan hunting. I also help with the harvesting of our caribou in the fall. Those are the things I enjoy, the outdoors and the land. It gives me peace. kivalliq news, Wednesday, March 10, 2021 photo story ᓄphoto stories r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, ᒫµ5y 10, 2021 7

It amounts to a health haz- ard for tenants, the letter states. "We have 22 original units that were built in the 1950s. These units are the size of a shed down south," the letter reads. "We were just informed that Chesterfield Inlet will not be see- ing any new units for the next two years and that is based on the needs list we currently have, but we would like to point out that although it is a small community, the struggles and hardships because of lack of housing are the same as a larger community ... We see a lot of people come into the local housing office struggling and crying for help but there is nothing we can do other than try to comfort them and assure them that things will change."

Request for more Elder-friendly homes Baker Lake MLA Craig Simailak urged his colleagues in the House to review new initiatives in the NWT and Yukon that allow Elders to live independently for longer. He said at least one of the senior living centres provides meal service, housekeeping and recreational activities. The units feature wider doorways, level entrances and bathrooms on the main floor. "I encourage our government to look at these models for planning housing infrastructure in our communities," said Simailak. "Many of our Elders are not ready for continued care and simply need a little extra support to continue living with dignity in their home communities, near their families and friends. It would be wonderful if Nunavut could match what our Northern counterparts are doing to ensure that more senior living complexes are constructed in our communities. We just need some collaboration and creativity to make this work." He received a round of applause. Housing Minister Margaret Nakashuk told the assembly that 18 of Nunavut's 25 communities have a combined 178 custom- ized Elders' units or they support aging in place. In addition, Elders facilities exist in Iqaluit and Arviat. Simailak inquired about providing services to allow Elders to maintain independence, such as snow clearing, home care visits, ramps and modified bathrooms. "It seems we could do more. Will the minister commit to working with her colleagues in health and family services to develop options to build Elder housing complexes in Nunavut communities using the models being implemented by our Northern neighbours?" he asked. Nakashuk replied, "If the Elder homes need to be fixed up, home-care workers notify health care staff to see what other help they need. This is always continuing today. We want to make sure that they have a comfortable place to live." kivalliq news, Wednesday, March 10, 2021 r?9o3ur?9o3u iWK5, iWK5, WzJx8i, W1ZJx8i, ᒫµ5y5y 10, 2021 9
