Month In Review – Nunavut

LAWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Laws

Sep 1: Nunavut increased its general minimum wage 42 cents to $20.17 per hour, the highest in the country by far. No other Canadian jurisdiction has a minimum wage that’s as high as $19 and only two—Yukon and British Columbia—have crossed the $18 per hour threshold.

Industry Challenges

Aug 31: Proponents of Nunavut deepwater port projects signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Port of Nuuk to strengthen maritime infrastructure cooperation between Greenland and Nunavut. The agreement connects Nuuk, Greenland’s major existing commercial port, with two priority port developments in Nunavut, creating a framework for a stronger and more resilient Arctic maritime network.

Training

Aug 11: The Nunavut Department of Community Services’ tourism and cultural industry division is now accepting Inuit Tourism Business Mentorship Program applications. The Program offers training to up to five Inuit tourism business owners with each mentorship including up to 10 days of combined in-person and virtual training over the course of four to six months. To be eligible, applicants must be Inuit and own a tourism business registered in Nunavut. Deadline to apply: September 11.
