NunatuKavut Community Council Inc. (known as NunatuKavut)

Purpose

This 36-month project will address systemic barriers to the employment of Indigenous women in the mining sectors of Labrador and Northeastern Ontario through a series of activities that will build capacity and knowledge to influence meaningful changes in organizational, industry and government policies. It will include research, information-sharing, and mentorship activities to support the adaptation and piloting of the successful Aboriginal Women in Mining Program with Southern Inuit women in Labrador, followed by collaborative policy review and development to operationalize Women’s employment plans.
