Nunatsiavut President Jim Lyall

The Inuit Tapiriit kanatami (ITk) held their annual general meeting and a board meeting in Cambridge Bay (IKaluktutiak) Nunavut June 17th to 20th, 2008.

It was the first time James Lyall of Nain attended as the President of Nunatsiavut Government.

He says everyone attending the meetings was aware he had just recently been elected by Nunatsiavut beneficiaries.

Lyall says he was comfortable with those he met and he made it clear to them that he was there to build a good working relationship with ITk and other Inuit regions.

Today, he will inform us about one of the agenda items regarding Labrador Schools not being considered by the Federal Government, as residential schools like those in other parts of Canada.

He will also mention Inuit participation in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, and about what took place during the Expo Labrador in Goose Bay to help families of those who perished in a house fire in Happy Valley Goose Bay.
