In September, the Department of Family Services and Nunavut Arctic College launched "Getting Ready for Employment and Training", otherwise known as G.R.E.A.T., a 12-week job skills program designed to prepare income assistance clients for the job market.
Fourteen youth from Nunavut are in Sherbrooke, Quebec this week to take part in the 2013 Canada Summer Games – the largest multi-sport competition for young athletes in Canada.
