Members vote to approve new Constitution and establish mandates on key issues

HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, LABRADOR – This past weekend, the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) hosted its largest Annual General Assembly (AGA), with over 300 NunatuKavut Inuit gathering in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. This was the conclusion of an extensive AGA process that included numerous community meetings throughout NunatuKavut. A historic new governing Constitution was passed and the assembly gave NCC a clear mandate to move forward on three significant priorities.

NCC’s new Constitution is a values-based governing document that is built on NunatuKavut Inuit identity, values, practices and traditions. It guides the spirit and intent of all the laws and decisions of NCC’s Governing Council and provides transparency and accountability around how NCC governs. It was effective on February 3, 2024.
