More than 45 participants from 20 Nunavut communities and representatives of IHT, Inuit Organizations, the Government of Nunavut (Culture & Heritage, Nunaut Parks, Economic Development &Transportation, Education, and Health), and federal government (Parks Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage) met in Winnipeg to discuss the role of the NIHC in supporting heritage centres and activities throughout Nunavut. Activities included a reception at the Winnipeg Art Gallery which enabled participants to see artworks from the Nunavut collection being stored there because there is no facility in Nunavut where they could be kept.
