The President talks about the Nunatsiavut Assembly sitting, held in Hopedale last week.

One of the main issues for the Assembly was the vote to either keep William Barbour as an ordinary or remove him from office.

The vote came to a 7- 7 tie, so according to the Assembly's Speaker, Todd Broomfield, this is now a non-issue.

The President says they're very busy and constantly on the go dealing with other government related issues.

One thing Lyall mentions in the interview may be good news to all beneficiaries on the north coast.

He says the Nunatsiavut Government is working on plans to build a senior's apartment complex to be built in either Hopedale or Nain.

He says Nunatsiavut's Department of Health and Social Development has been asked to conduct a study on the possibility of building this complex.

President Lyall hopes they will have recommendations presented to the Assembly by the spring.

The Canadian government established this day in 1991, marking the anniversary of the murders of fourteen young women whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence that shocked the nation.

The murders took place at the Polytechnic School in Montreal.

This day represents an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on violence against women in our society.

It's also a day in which communities can consider concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.

So we called Nunatsiavut's Minister for the Status of Women, Diane Gear.

She referred us onto Frances Murphy who is replacing Tracy Ann Evans as the Status of Women Coordinator while Evans is on maternity leave.

Murphy says she received posters about violence against women yesterday.

The posters are from the Federal Government's Status of Women office.

Murphy says in the package she received, there are programs and services listed on the posters, with key dates for women in Canada to remember.

Other than the posters, Murphy says she's working on plans to mark this day in Nunatsiavut.

This morning we spoke with Wolfrey to find out the details of her trip.

She says they arrived in Saskatoon and traveled to McLean Lake located 700 kilometers north of Saskatoon.

This is where a company called Areva Resources Canada currently mines uranium.

After a tour of the mine, Wolfrey says they then traveled to Cluff Lake located 895 kilometers from Saskatoon, where Areva is currently decommissioning a mine.

During these tours, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and an Aboriginal company which does environmental safety monitoring each presented to the group.

Wolfrey says in her own opinion, the active mine looked like it was following safety precautions and seemed to be working out well.

She says there is still some work to be done on the decommissioned mine, but it looked like the recovery process was working out.

Wolfrey says the other representatives from Labrador included: Krista Mitchell of Makkovik, Donna Sheppard of Postville, Kate Mitchell, a Nunatsiavut Government representative, and Chelsey Andersen from Aurora Energy.

We spoke to Karen Wheeler who is the Director of Economic Development for the town hall.

Wheeler says there will be Christmas caroling and the lighting of the tree.

She says Mayor Leo Abbass and Lt. Colonel Bowerman will be saying a speech.

She says Todd Russell and John Hickey will also send greetings and after the tree lighting there will be free skating at the arena where hot chocolate and treats will be served.

Wheeler says on December 6^th there will be a Santa Claus parade at 6pm in the community.

It will be starting from Green Street and go to the College and Santa will be at the gym to hear the children's wishes after that.

She adds that on Sunday there will be breakfast with Santa at the College of the North Atlantic starting at 7am. to 9am.
