Nunavut Arctic College

Whitehorse, YT – Students attending college in Canada’s three northern territories will soon have greater opportunities to further their studies at other universities. That’s because of a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed today in Yellowknife, NWT between Yukon, Aurora and Nunavut Arctic Colleges and Dalhousie University, University of Laval, University of Alberta and University of Ottawa.

Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, March 19, 2012 – Residents of Cambridge Bay will benefit from improved water and transportation infrastructure thanks to significant investments announced today by the governments of Canada and Nunavut.

As part of National Social Work Week, the Canadian Association of Social Workers has awarded Nunavut Arctic College’s Kevin McGill with this year’s Distinguished Service Award for Northern Canada.

The weather was cold but the welcome was warm last week in Cambridge Bay.

During the visit we met with:

• Year Four NTEP Students
• Cathy Rowan – Principal / Cambridge Bay Elementary
• Connie Kapolak - Principal / Cambridge Bay High School
• Grade 12 Graduating Students
• Arctic College Personnel

We were appreciative of the efforts to accommodate us in various schedules. This was especially true with regard to our presentation on Nunavut Teacher Education Program (NTEP) and Arctic College Programs to the Grade 12 students. They were attentive and interested.

Brian Manning is the Director of Education Programs at Nunavut Arctic College.
