2015 Nikurrangajut Election Debate

federal candidates debate

Laakkuluk and Alethea introducing and moderating the discussion.

Today Qanak put on a special edition of the Nikurrangajut lunch and learn series, with an all-candidates debate in Iqaluit at the Elders’ Qammaq. For the past year, we have been talking about improving educational outcomes, preserving Inuktut, preventing suicide, exploring housing options and improving accountability. Today we had a full house where community members were able to meet the candidates, learn about them, and can ask how they and their party will represent us. Federal candidates Leona Aglukkaq (Conservatives), Jack Anawak (NDP) and Hunter Tootoo (Liberal).
