Relevant Engagement
• Basic needs of the communities are not being met. Their priorities are: employment, housing, health and education.
• Scientists can engage with the communities in a sustained effort to increase the human capacity of Nunavut.
• An engaged and well educated youth is the cache of greatest value to the future.
