The Community Freezers in each of the five Nunatsiavut Inuit communities, as well as in Upper Lake Melville, had a supply of caribou and muskox meat distributed to Beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement.
Through an arrangement with Kivalliq Arctic Foods in Ranklin Inlet, Nunavut, the Nunatsiavut Government managed to secure about 4,000 kilograms of caribou and 3,000 kilograms of muskox.
On Tuesday, March 23, we aired the community freezer update with Nain.
The beneficiaries of Hopedale received all their caribou, expect for the ones that travelled out of town. So, they will deliver those once they arrive back.
Sometime this week they will receive their Musk Ox, but they are unsure yet.
Beneficiaries in Postville received all their caribou. There is no news on when they will receive the Musk Ox.
The beneficiaries of Rigolet received all their Caribou Meat, and they will receive more caribou meat after the Easter Break.
The Musk Ox will be given out after the Easter Break as well.
We will have the community of Makkovik once they become available.
