Applicants should have knowledge and experience in restorative justice and in dealing with social issues. They should also have knowledge of Inuit societal values, and should be sensitive to helping victims and offenders.

Training concerning members’ roles and responsibilities will be provided. Committee members are volunteer positions with honoraria for attending meetings.

If you are interested, please submit your resumé and criminal record check to Leona Krejunark, Kugaaruk’s community justice outreach worker, at hamlet_of_just@qiniq.com. For more information, please contact Donna Olsen-Hakongak at 867-983-4092 or dolsen-hakongak@gov.nu.ca.
