Nunavut Tunngavik Inc’s Board of Directors recently announced the allocation of funding towards several initiatives related to Inuit early learning and childcare. NTI has allocated $15M to Qikiqtani Inuit Association to construct three daycares in the Qikiqtaaluk. $1.38M has been allocated to the Inunnguinirmut Tukimuattittijiit working group. The group will use the funds to explore options to transform Inuit-led and Inuit-delivered early childhood services and to evaluate the use of funding to govern the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care system. The NTI Board also approved the Nunavut Inuit Post-Secondary Education Program Policy at this meeting. The policy will support the move toward the implementation of the National Inuit Post-Secondary Education Strategy.
