Thank you to Inuvialuit Regional Corporation Chair Smith for meeting with me today. Our collaboration has always been valuable, and I am pleased that we are working closely to support the interests of Inuvialuit residents. irc.inuvialuit.com/news/gnwt… #nwtpoli

We’ve had a crash course in how — and how not to — evacuate our capital and several other communities. Let’s hold each other accountable to learn from this. Evacuation plans need to be developed for all our forest communities, writes columnist Steve Ellis.
