Inuit call on PM to step in as child funding program approaches March end date – ITK

The head of Canada’s national Inuit organization is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step in to save a program that helps fund services for Inuit kids.

In a letter sent to Trudeau Feb.12, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami President Natan Obed called on the prime minister to “clearly signal” his “government’s commitment” to continue funding for the Inuit Child First Initiative (ICFI), which is set to end on March 31.

“We are alarmed by the growing likelihood of an abrupt curtailing of funding for the program and the consequences this will have for our families and communities,” Obed wrote.
