Food and other supports to be based on individual needs; researchers say that isn’t good enough
The Nunavut food-voucher program that helped feed thousands of Inuit children since it was rolled out last year by Inuit Child First Initiative won’t be renewed.
The federal government will not approve any more funding under the universal food-voucher program, used by 24 of Nunavut’s 25 communities last year, Indigenous Services Canada program officer Andrew Ouellette wrote in an April 17 email obtained by Nunatsiaq News.
