Last week was Embrace Life Week in Nunavut, which coincided with World Suicide Prevention Day.
As I've mentioned before, suicide is a major issue in Nunavut, with suicide rates at a disproportionately high rate in this territory, particularly among Inuit people. Last year, there were more suicides in Nunavut than there have ever been, causing the coroner of Nunavut to call for a public inquest.
It was really heart-warming to see the whole community come together to show their support about this important issue. The day's activities included an assembly in the high school and a march through town.
