Summary and background of the “Artcirq - Arctic Circus” Mission

We're finalizing our youth-focused work here in Pangnirtung. Yesterday, we took youth out "on the land" to learn about climate change, and to take photographs that related to their stories on the topic.

It was another eventful day in Pangnirtung. We hit the school to meet up with local youth and to follow their progress in a photo project the grade 11 and 12's are working on related to climate change. You can see Stacey in the photo video taping the excellent youth-focused discussion.

Nuanvut's social services officials say they are aware of concerns about sending Inuit children to foster homes south of 60, but add that they don't have enough resources to keep all foster children in the territory.

A foster mother in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, has started a petition urging the territorial government to stop sending Inuit foster children to homes in southern Canada.
