Inuit Women’s Circle

This program provides an uplifting and collaborative environment where Inuit women build cultural skills in a safe environment. Women meet two or three times a week to share food and for activities that include sewing sealskin parkas and mitts, cooking, beading, and embroidery. When the weather permits, programming is held outdoors where participants do land-based activities like berry-picking and gathering heather to build a fire. This past year, the program reached over 500 local women through 79 workshops and events.  

Piruqtuviniit Food Boxes

Our Piruqtuviniit Food Boxes program is a weekly sale of produce and free-range eggs. The box varies each week but it generally consists of staple vegetables and a selection of fresh fruit. Similarly, our Inuliqtait Food Box program is a bi-weekly sale of country food purchased from hunters across Nunavut. Both boxes are available on a pay-what-you-can basis to ensure that all Iqalummiut have access to fresh produce and nutritious country food, regardless of income.

FAQ

Access to nutritious, affordable food has been a challenge for Nunavummiut for many years and it remains a public and political concern. We provide varied programming that address the many root causes of food insecurity.
