Advocacy

The staff of Inuuqatigiit participates on a variety of committees and networks to ensure that the perspective of Inuit children and families living in an urban setting is at the forefront of key decision making. The breadth of these activities illustrates the potential that the Inuuqatigiit offers as a valued contributor during municipal, provincial/territorial, and national discussions that involve Inuit and their children. These activities have provided the Inuuqatigiit with the opportunity to educate and to ensure that the voice of the Inuit urban community is heard when programs or policies are being developed.
