Inuit educational leaders earn master degrees from UPEI
Charlottetown, The Guardian - Charlottetown,Prince Edward Island,Canada
Twenty-one Inuit educational leaders from across Nunavut will graduate with a Master of Education degree from the University of Prince Edward Island on Canada Day during a special convocation in Iqaluit.
The Master of Education in Leadership in Learning is the first graduate degree program to be offered in Nunavut.
Most of the graduates are mature students who are already working as educators in their communities. They studied part-time over three years through face-to-face courses in Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet combined with online learning.
The specially tailored curriculum balanced western and Inuit knowledge of education and educational leadership. It was developed and delivered through a unique partnership between the University of Prince Edward Island, Nunavut Department of Education, Nunavut Arctic College and St. Francis Xavier University.
"This is a great achievement for UPEI and our faculty of education, in combination with the community in Nunavut, to offer this remarkable program," says UPEI president Wade MacLauchlan.
"The greatest credit goes to the 21 graduates and to the faculty who have pioneered in the program and made a success of it."
MacLauchlan and the UPEI chancellor will take part in the Canada Day convocation, along with representatives of the UPEI faculty of education.
During the ceremony, Nunavut Premier Eva Aariak and Education Minister Louis Tapardjuk will join chancellor Bill Andrew in presenting honorary degrees to two respected elders, Mariano Aupilardjuk and Meeka Arnaquq.
Mariano Aupilardjuk is a philosopher, artist, drum dancer, songwriter, cultural worker and activist who lives in Rankin Inlet. Meeka Arnaquq is well known for her innovative development of healing circles.
The UPEI Master of Education in Leadership in Learning will be re-offered in Nunavut in 2010.

North American Tungsten to suspend production at CanTung

By Buzz on the Boards
North American Tungsten Corporation (TSX: V.NTC, Stock Forum) announced
Monday that it will temporarily suspend production at its CanTung tungsten
mine in the Northwest Territories, effective October 15. ...
The move comes as a result of increased product inventory and declining
tungsten prices, says the company.
"The mine will be placed on a care and maintenance program that will
enable a timely and cost effective return to production when market
conditions improve," says North American Tungsten, which adds that it will
continue to sell product from inventory and will have sufficient material
to satisfy all contractual sales obligations.
"I expect that a tungsten supply shortfall will develop as the world
economy improves. We fully intend to pursue plans to return the mine to
full operations after markets have significantly firmed," says Stephen
Leahy, the company's chairman and CEO.
The company says it will continue with its planned summer exploration
drilling program at both the CanTung Mine and the MacTung Deposit, with
the majority of funds spent on the MacTung Deposit.
In a post on the company's Bullboard early Monday morning, brennan said:
"The employees at the Cantung Mine received written notice over the
weekend that the mine will be shutting down effective Oct 21/09. Will be
interesting to see if they halt the stock before Monday's open[sic]."
Shares of North American Tungsten were down more than 21% to 12.5 cents
Monday.

Eddy Weetaltuk. E9-422: un Inuit de la toundra à la guerre de Corée. Paris: Carnets Nord, 2009. ISBN: 978-2-35536-025-1
Au début des années 1970, Eddy Weetaltuk, de retour au Nunavik après avoir passés 15 ans dans l'armée canadienne, décide d'écrire le récit de ses « aventures à travers le vaste monde ». En quelques mois, il rédige un manuscrit de près de 200 pages qu'il fait parvenir à un éditeur espérant que celui-ci en fera, selon ses propres mots, le premier « best seller inuit ». Malheureusement, le texte ne fut jamais publié. Ce n'est qu'aujourd'hui, 35 ans plus tard, que le livre voit enfin le jour. Le texte que nous livre Eddy Weetaltuk dépasse largement le simple exercice autobiographique. Il s'agit d'une véritable création littéraire qui combine réflexion sur l'amour, le désir, la violence, la découverte des autres; le tout dans un style qui mixe humour, situations dramatiques, cocasses ou provocantes.

Très jeune, il décide de quitter les siens. Cachant ses origines, se faisant passer pour un « Blanc », il s'engage dans l'armée canadienne sous une fausse identité au moment de la guerre de Corée.
Vingt ans plus tard, quand il aura repris son identité, il rejoindra son peuple et consacrera le reste de sa vie à lutter contre l'alcool et la drogue qui ravagent la jeunesse inuit.

Whitehorse artist Mario Villeneuve to Act as Spokesperson for Visual Artists
Mario Villeneuve to Act as Spokesperson for Visual Artists / Ottawa, ON
For immediate release
Whitehorse artist Mario Villeneuve to act as spokesperson for visual artists in Canada
Ottawa, Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 - Whitehorse artist Mario Villeneuve was elected to be the spokesperson for visual artists in Canada at the Canadian Artists' Representation's (CARFAC) Annual General Meeting in St. John's last weekend. Villeneuve takes over from PEI artist Gerald Beaulieu, who was president of CARFAC since 2006.
"I am happy to take on this challenge," Villeneuve said, "I hope that in the next few years we can improve the situation of visual artists - the majority of whom currently live below the poverty line despite the contributions we make to the economy and the social fabric of Canada."
Other new faces include Toronto-based video artist Deirdre Logue as Vice-President of CARFAC and Chair of the Canadian Artists Representation Copyright Collective (CARCC). Saskatoon artist Grant McConnell joins the board as a member at large.
CARFAC is guided by a board made up of regional representatives, and several members at large. The time commitment donated by these artists during their terms constitutes a substantial contribution to CARFAC as a national organization.
Mario Villeneuve:
Mario Villeneuve is an artist, curator and art educator based in Whitehorse, Yukon. Originally from eastern Ontario, he studied photography at the University of Ottawa. His practice is inspired by the history of photography and its processes. The call of the North beckoned ten years ago and since then he has been active in the Yukon's vibrant artistic community. Mario is one of the founders of Studio 204, an artist run collective in Whitehorse. His interest in joining CARFAC was guided by the need to bridge the gap between the North and southern Canada, and to advocate for northern artists in relation to professional development, isolation and misconceptions of the northern art practice. Being a francophone artist living in the northwest corner of the country gives him a perspective that can offer new insight.
A full list of board members and regional representatives is available on CARFAC's website at
http://www.carfac.ca/about/board-and-staff/lang-pref/en/.
The Canadian Artists' Representation / le front des artists canadiens is the national association of Canada's professional visual and media artists. CARFAC defends artists' socio-economic and legal rights through advocacy and professional development and produces a schedule of artists' fees that is widely recognized as the national standard. The Status of the Artist Act empowers CARFAC to negotiate with national organizations on behalf of all visual artists in Canada.

VOLCANIC SUNSET: On June 22nd, photographer Brian Whittaker was flying 35,000 feet above Nunavut, Canada,
VOLCANIC SUNSET: On June 22nd, photographer Brian Whittaker http://www.brianwhittaker.com/ was flying 35,000 feet above Nunavut, Canada, when he witnessed "the most spectacular sunset that I have ever seen," he says. "The giant volcanic cloud from Russia's Sarychev Peak [see below] was illuminated by the arctic sun--and this completely transformed the landscape. For a moment, I thought I was on Mars."

VOLCANIC PLUME: An enormous plume of sulfur dioxide (SO2) blasted into the stratosphere by Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano on June 12th is circumnavigating the globe at northern latitudes. Check out this movie made by the GOME-2 sensor onboard Europe's MetOp-A satellite. SO2 is drifting across the North Atlantic and appears poised to reach Europe over the next 48 hours. Sky watchers there should be alert for volcanic sunsets. VOLCANIC SUNSET: On June 22nd, photographer Brian Whittaker was flying 35,000 feet above Nunavut, Canada, when he witnessed "the most spectacular sunset that I have ever seen," he says. "The giant volcanic cloud from Russia's Sarychev Peak [see below] was illuminated by the arctic sun--and this completely transformed the landscape. For a moment, I thought I was on Mars." This was the view from the window seat: "All the curtains were drawn so that people could sleep which is very normal," notes Whittaker. "It is possible that very few people have seen this despite all the potential observers!" Whittaker's airplane traveled all the way from British Columbia to Europe, so he got a good long look at the cloud. "It stretched for more than 4,000 kilometers. Will it reach Europe?" he wonders. Stay tuned for updates. http://spaceweather.com/swpod2009/25jun09/BrianWhittaker2.jpg?PHPSESSID=d9mfbnslnels369fmq6n68fv36 | ||||||

http://www.itk.ca/blog/next-inuk-senator%E2%80%A6
On June 22nd 2009, Senator Willie Adams officially retired as the Senator
for Nunavut. By August, when Prime Minister Harper is expected to fill
Senate vacancies, there will be nine empty seats. There is speculation
that Mr. Harper may choose to appoint new Senators along party lines to
bolster support in that chamber for his government's agenda. That is how
it's done in Ottawa, in partisan politics.
The history of politics in the Arctic is a non-partisan one. Our
Legislative Assemblies operate on a consensus basis as opposed to an
adversarial one, and when our people go to the polls there are no party
affiliations found on the ballot.
If you were to walk into the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut you would see
a row of chairs immediately behind the Members seats, only one step above
floor level. These seats are specifically reserved for elders, in all
things, including government, Inuit value the advice of our elders.
If Mr. Harper were to ask me for my advice on the appointment of a Senator
for Nunavut to replace Mr. Adams I would make two suggestions:
1. Look to how Inuit choose to govern ourselves, and
2. Appoint a non-partisan Inuk
There are a great many issues facing the Arctic - housing, education,
language, health care, and mental wellness, to name but a few. And it is
my firm belief that the government of Canada needs the advice, counsel,
and perspective, of an Inuk from Nunavut to help adequately address them.

N.B. filmmaker wins Commonwealth Vision Award for short film about Arctic life in the Arctic community of Kangiksujuaq, Nunavik.

"So it was a really neat story about a young, eight-year-old Inuit boy, hanging out with his grandfather — his grandfather teaching him the ways of Inuit life, and his grandfather also a little bit nervous about teaching him the right things about the future because everything is changing so quickly in the Arctic," Hemmings told CBC News.

"...Low-carbon fuel initiatives being considered in the U.S. Congress have
become a new way to keep the much-delayed project on the radar for
legislators in Washington, said Northwest Territories Industry Minister
Bob McLeod, in the U.S. capital for meetings on the $16-billion proposal.
"We've been promoting Arctic natural gas as an environmentally friendly
low-carbon fuel that could replace other higher-carbon content fuels,"
McLeod said Wednesday. "When this low-carbon economy initiative goes
ahead, there'll be a spike in the demand for natural gas as a result."
Some environmental organizations in Canada testified at regulatory
hearings in 2006 that Arctic gas shouldn't be used because it would just
bring more fossil fuels on stream.
But with natural gas producing fewer carbon dioxide emissions than other
fuels such as oil or coal, McLeod said American officials are telling him
the United States will soon need all it can get.
"There appears to be a shift to a low-carbon economy, which will
re-emphasize the importance of natural gas," he said.
Still, McLeod acknowledged the Mackenzie project is increasingly
challenged by enormous deposits of natural gas in American shale beds,
which have become profitable to produce...."

FREDERICTON - Business New Brunswick is "assured" the contract dispute
between Atcon and the company building a $165-million bridge in the far
north is being resolved, a spokesman said Monday.
"It's certainly not uncommon, I would say, that this type of a dispute was
to arise in a project of this magnitude," Ryan Donaghy said, although he
added the government only became aware of the dispute late last week.
It emerged last week the dispute over payment, between Atcon and the Deh
Cho Bridge Corporation in the Northwest Territories, had halted work on in
the massive bridge being built over the MacKenzie River, on which Atcon is
a subcontractor. Donaghy said Business New Brunswick, which recently
agreed to three loan guarantees worth $50 million for Atcon, was made
aware of the work stoppage only on Thursday.
He said the public-private partnership agreement signed to build the
bridge included "very clear" ways to resolve disputes between the Deh Cho
Bridge Corporation and its contractors.
"They're working through that process now," he said. "In the end, this is
an issue between the contractor and their client, and we're assured that
it's being resolved."
However, when asked if the company's government loan guarantee would be
affected if the dispute isn't resolved, he stressed the loan was only
agreed to "in principle" at this point.
"There is no actual formal agreement, we're working on that right now," he
said. "Certainly we do have a close eye on this, but it is our
understanding that things are being resolved."
Other conditions for the loan guarantee state Atcon has to provide a
creditors' list to the province...."
"...Earl Blacklock, a spokesman for the Transportation Department in the
Northwest Territories said the dispute arose sometime in the last couple
of weeks.
He said the territorial government's role is mainly to provide
"assistance" in the bridge company's relationship with its various
lenders, leaving the company to take the lead in the event of contract
disputes.
"We meet with the lenders to ensure that they are kept up to what they
require for information," he said. "Because we're the guarantor of the
loans."
In a statement released yesterday, opposition leader David Alward said it
was troubling how work on the bridge stopped shortly before the loan
guarantee was announced.
"The government should have done due diligence and ensured this company
was a good investment for our tax payers' money," he said. "We need to be
assured that this company and government can be trusted with such an
outstanding amount."..."

Canada's population keeps growing
Up to 33,592,700 -- up 88,000 in 3 months
In the first three months of 2009, Canada's population grew at a rate not seen since the first quarter of 2001, rising in all provinces and territories during the first quarter, except for Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories.

OTTAWA — In the first three months of 2009, Canada's population grew at a rate not seen since the first quarter of 2001, according to Statistics Canada.
As of April 1, 2009, Canada's population was 33,592,700, up 88,000 from the start of the year, a growth rate of 0.26 per cent.
Statistics Canada attributes the rise not due to immigration, which actually fell from the 2008 numbers, but to a rise in the number of non-permanent residents in most provinces and territories. This segment of the population increased by 23,800, compared to an increase of 15,600 in the same quarter of 2008. Statistics Canada defines a non-permanent resident as a person living in Canada on a work or study permit, or a person claiming refugee status.
The population rose in all provinces and territories during the first quarter, except for Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories.
Meanwhile, the western provinces continued to outpace the national average, led by Alberta which saw a growth rate of 0.59 per cent.
Canada's largest province, Ontario, estimated at over 13 million people, had a growth rate lower than the national average, at only 0.21 per cent. Inter-provincial migration, which helped keep the western provinces growing, was also the reason for Ontario's lower growth rate.
The number of immigrants to Canada in the first quarter, while lower than in 2008, totalled just over 50,000. Ontario remains the number one destination for new arrivals, with 42 per cent of them settling in the province.

Botany Super Team to Pursue Research in Western Arctic by Canoe
Botany Super Team to Pursue Research in Western Arctic by Canoe
PR-USA.net (press release) - Varna,Bulgaria
A team of botanists from the Canadian Museum of Nature is heading to the
northeastern Northwest Territories in late June to study and collect plants
in an ...
<http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=228129&Itemid=28>
in an area of the western Arctic that historically has been difficult to access.
For 24 days, Drs. Lynn Gillespie, Laurie Consaul, and Jeff Saarela, along with their research assistant Roger Bull, will rely upon canoes as their only transportation down the Hornaday River in Tuktut Nogait National Park. Guides from Parks Canada will accompany them through this remote, pristine part of Canada where the scenery is exquisite and the mosquitoes are relentless.
They are aiming to build a botanical record of an area practically unrepresented in the Museum's collections. The western Arctic is poorly explored botanically. In its close to 100-year history of collecting in the Arctic, the Canadian Museum of Nature has a larger inventory of plants from the eastern Arctic than from the west.
Already used to roughing it together, the team conducted fieldwork for four weeks in July 2008 on Victoria Island, which is bisected by the NWT-Nunavut border. There they collected over 1,100 specimens and some 202 species of plants. They are still analyzing the findings but have already discovered two species that are new to Canada, including a type of Arctic poppy, Papaver hultenii. They also found some rare species that have a larger distribution than previously thought.
Of particular interest to the researchers will be any evidence of plant migration northward due to the warming effects of climate change.
Schedule: The team will arrive in Inuvik, NWT on June 24 and will be available for interviews on June 25. From June 26 to July 20, they will be conducting research along the Hornaday. Three of the four will be back in Inuvik on July 29-30 (Saarela leaves on July 21), and will return to Ottawa on July 31.
