NG Update With Sarah Leo (Audio)

An elder has recently been chosen as the first –ever Inuit Woman of the Year.

Andrea Flowers of Hopedale was chosen by AnnanauKatiget Tumingit (Regional Inuit Women’s Association).

Sarah Leo is the President of Nunatsiavut Government.

She says Flowers was given the award during the Labrador Inuit Women’s Conference in Nain last week.

Leo says she was happy to see a lot of women at the conference, including younger women who took part.

But unfortunately Leo couldn’t attend all the sessions due to other work she was doing.

She says the next Assembly sitting is in Hopedale next week.

One of the bills that will be tabled is budget bills.

And the other is to get information out to beneficiaries on what their plans are and their position is in regard to the ban of the George River caribou herd.
