Nunavut organizations starting to reduce services after March 31 program expiry
Nunavut non-profits are in a funding grey area until money associated with the promised Inuit Child First Initiative extension starts flowing.

“We’re essential service providers. We really are.”
Piruqatigiit provides education and support to Nunavummiut with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, a lifelong disability that comes from the impact to a person’s brain and body when prenatally exposed to alcohol.
