Inuit women’s org calls for enhanced midwifery services in Arctic
Pauktuutit is leading advocacy and support for the revitalization of Inuit midwifery in Canada, Nancy Etok, president of the organization said in a video statement. Access to midwifery services must be recognized as a primary health and cultural right , Pauktuutit’s efforts should be met with clear legislative funding and commitments. (Pauktuutit) Photo: (Pauktuutit)Establishing midwifery services in communities would not only help address these longstanding issues but also alleviate the considerable financial burden associated with maternal evacuation from the Arctic. There, the Inuulitsivik Inuit Midwifery Program, trains midwives locally, enabling mothers in the communities where the services are available to give birth near home. They are the gold standard for Inuit Midwifery Care and what other Inuit regions are striving toward, the report said.

106 teachers 'declared surplus' by Waterloo region's public board, union says
The Waterloo Region District School Board says it has issued layoff notices to 106 teachers. (Carmen Groleau/CBC - image credit)The Waterloo Region District School Board has given surplus notices to 106 teachers. The teachers were "declared surplus" on Thursday and Jeff Pelich, president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Waterloo Region, said it's because the Ministry of Education has not yet released its education funding for the 2024-25 school year. Pelich said while some of the teachers will return to the classroom in the fall, "it's naive to assume that it will be business as usual for our school board." "We have provided the Waterloo Region District School Board with $830 million for the upcoming 2024-25 school year, a $24 million increase from this year.
