well. Publishing distinctive books and learning materials in Inuktitut
promotes the use of the language in the region while support for Inuit

framework for sustainable development planning that takes into
account a variety of factors, or “capitals”, that make up a local economy:
financial, natural, physical, human and social. If all these factors
are considered together, over time they can act as a safety net when
one or another becomes weaker.
Some of the current challenges affecting sustainable development
in the region include:
• Fragmented governance between local, regional and provincial
institutions, resulting in a fragmented approach to development;
• A high percentage of profits from development leaving the
region;
• A lack of integration between the land-based and wage-based
economies;
• Low levels of education and reduced transfer of knowledge
between generations; and
• Uneven development between small and large communities.
Following the presentations on Community Economic
Development and Sustainable Development, a range of topics around
the themes of funding arrangements and contracts, food production
and healthy communities, education and language, and constructive
collaboration were discussed.
