Support for Homeless
Thanks to a partnership agreement between
Makivik, KRG and Chez Doris (daytime women’s’
shelter in Montreal) tangible enhancements are
taking place to better the lives of Inuit women
there.
Chez Doris has several activities and projects to
help Inuit women to get identification cards, accompanying
them to doctor and other appointments,
funeral support for those who die in Montreal,
long distance calls to home, and weekly movies
and country food (with help from Avataq). Last February they inaugurated
a winter camp for Inuit women and caseworkers to get away
from city problems.
Discussions are also taking place between Makivik, KRG, Correctional
Service Canada and Quebec detention centres, to explore alternatives for
Inuit men who leave detention centres and often drift to homelessness
in Montreal. Collaboration between Chez Doris and Nunavik organizations
is deemed absolutely crucial and Makivik’s advice is sought by
several organizations supporting people in need.

Another Raglan Profit Sharing Payment
On June 27, 2012 Xstrata Nickel Raglan Mine presented a $13.1 million
cheque to Makivik and to the communities of Kangiqsujuaq and Salluit
during a celebration in a Montreal restaurant. The cheque was for the
Nunavik Inuit communities’ share of the profits generated in 2011 by
the Raglan mine. To date,
more than $100-million in
profit-sharing payments
have been directed to an
Inuit trust fund for economic
and community
development through
the Raglan Agreement,
signed in 1995. (A noteworthy
comparison, the
initial James Bay Northern
Agreement signed in 1975 provided $90-million in compensation to
Nunavik Inuit.)
Also as per the Raglan Agreement, Makivik and the local Inuit communities
“support harmonious relations and foster opportunities between
Xstrata Nickel and local populations in areas such as training, hiring of
local businesses and environmental management.”
