I'm glad this ordeal is over.

For widest distribution:

After a lengthy legal process, I am extremely pleased to announce that a settlement has been reached between the Government of Nunavut and myself.

It is great to have resolved my issues with the Government of Nunavut. I cannot underscore the need to continue any challenges in the face of overwhelming adversity.

While the specific details of the settlement cannot be disclosed, I van certainly state that this settlement is a precedent in terms of employment related litigation.

I thank the supporters from across Canada that have kept me in positive spirits throughout this matter.

I thank my legal team for their ongoing support and their belief in this case.

I look forward to re-establishing my career in the fire service as a senior fire officer and I once again thank all of you for your support.

Tony Noakes Fire Marshal NU (Ret.)
