  • Amaujaq Newsletter 2013 November
    ISSUE | 02 the Honourable Jackson Lafferty, the leaders met with WHAT’S NEW? teachers, administrators, and the Beaufort Delta DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS The Amaujaq Education Council. National Centre for Inuit Education has been busy implementing the top four priorities identified by the National Committee on Inuit Education. The first priority is the development and implementation of a National Campaign on Mobilizing Parents. The goal of the campaign is to engage parents in improving attendance, and strengthen the level of home support for student success in school. The launch in Nunatsiavut is scheduled for November 6th. As Chair of the National Committee on Inuit Education I have also been profiling the national campaign through a series of speaking engagements including traveling to Yellowknife for the NWT Education Conference in April, the Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF) Presidents forum in Ottawa this past July, the National Inuit Youth I launched the National Campaign on Mobilizing Parents Summit in Kuujjuaq this August and the Beaufort Delta in February in Iqaluit along with Nunavut Premier School Council conference in August that was held in Eva Aariak and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated Vice Inuvik. What I am hearing from parents is an urgency President Jack Anawak. about keeping our children in school and improving the supports that are needed for kids who struggle in school. THIS WAS FOLLOWED UP WITH a launch in Nunavik Our Government partners on the National Committee in April when I spoke to delegates attending the Kativik are also working on parent engagement initiatives that School Board Education Council (KSB) meetings in complement our work at the national level.

  • Summary of Meetings, October 14–16
    Summary of Meetings October 14 – 16, 2014 Iqaluit, Nunavut Welcome Remarks & CNDEA Update – Chairperson, Willie Nakoolak We have most of the communities attending the AGM. Some communities stated that they did not get adequate time to attend, this may be due to communication problem: new DEA staff, new email, etc. Some delegates attended replacing their Chairperson or Vice Chairperson who were not able to come. We do have quorum to start the meetings. In brief: Our role is to work with DEAs across Nunavut in identifying common issues that need to be addressed in our education system. We take these issues to the Minister of Education, Paul Quassa, and our Coalition Director, Nikki Eegeesiak works with Department of Education staff, on improving the quality of education in our schools. The Chairperson reported on board work and member training update DEAs also asked that the Coalition increase its visibility in other regions and communities and we did that by having DEA meetings in Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Arviat, Whale Cover, Chesterfield Inlet, Hall Beach, Pond Inlet. Plans are in place to travel to other communities. Over the past few years we have undertaken a number of education projects on behalf of DEAs. For example, The Coalition completed research on the impact of the new Education Act on DEAs, including how this was affecting DEA budgets. The Coalition also worked with the University of PEI and the Government of Nunavut, Department of Education on 3 short documentaries about issues in Nunavut education. We have also developed training materials for DEAs – 3 modules that Nikki delivers when she visits communities on board governance.

Led by Dr. Trevor Bell of Memorial University, the SmartICE (Sea-ice Monitoring and Real-Time Information for Coastal Environments) team also picked $400,000 of the $1.5 million handed out during an award’s ceremony held in Winnipeg last evening. Launched in 2012 and often called the Nobel Prize of the North, the Arctic Inspiration Prize is awarded to teams whose research and projects translate knowledge into action for the benefit of the people of the Canadian Arctic. The objective of total prize is to assist winning teams implement their plans of action. Dr. Bell was nominated by Clint Davis, chair of the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies, and Levi Barnabas, chair of Qikiqtaaluk Corporation in Nunavut. “With SmartICE, Dr. Bell and his team of researchers demonstrate the commitment to innovation that will have a significant impact on Inuit Nunangat,” says Mr. Davis. “It was an honour to support the nomination of this unique project.” SmartICE is a partnership between Memorial University, the Nunatsiavut Government, industry and the Government of Canada. It provides locally relevant information for sea-ice travel in two pilot communities – Nain, Labrador, and Pond Inlet, Nunavut – where, like many other places in the North, sea-ice is part of the winter highway, the travel route to country food and a fundamental part of culture and well-being.
