Programs range from food baskets and grocery vouchers to money for elders and hunters
Food hampers, grocery vouchers and subsidies to get out on the land — these are some of the ways the Qikiqtani Inuit Association is putting federal money for pandemic relief to work in Kinngait and Iqaluit.
Starting May 24, QIA and the Co-op will begin delivery of $250 grocery vouchers to each Inuit household in Kinngait, a community that’s seen a handful of recent COVID-19 cases.
And over the weeks of May 31 and June 28, QIA will deliver food hampers and $250 grocery vouchers to the homes of Inuit in Kinngait.
QIA also plans to distribute grocery vouchers to assist with food security in Iqaluit.
