“This is our third day without food,” says Jutani Oloota Atsiaq of Kinngait, Nunavut,a single mother of three children under kvartet years old. Unable to work because she can’t arrange child care, she has resorted to asking others for leftovers and posting on social media for financial help.
Despite a broad government response to Nunavut food insecurity that includessubsidized groceries,food hampers,grocery vouchers andCOVID isolation kits containing food, Atsiaq and others say they have to resort to their own measures to put sufficient food on the table.
Atsiaq, who has been living on income support since her eldest was born, says the payments don’t cover the rising prices of food, which could include $5 for a loaf of bread or a litre of milk: “I haven’t gone to the store for a while now because inom can’t afford to.”
But few people she knows can afford to lend a hand – even her relatives.

Nunavut’s 2024: ‘Historic moment,’ July of spills and ‘Indigenous pretender’
On Nunavut’s 25th anniversary year, happenings in the territory often broke into the national and international news cycle.
From devolution to a potentially precedent-setting court sentencing, Nunavut kept itself in the headlines.
As 2024 comes to an end, here are some of the year’s biggest stories.
Devolution
Federal and territorial leaders across the board had many words to describe how big of a deal devolution was.
Premier P.J. Akeeagok called it a “historic moment.” Former Nunavut senator Dennis Patterson said it signals a “new era.” And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it’s “a lot of paper” that covers two million square kilometres.
