Celebrating the Launch of Inuktitut Classes in Ottawa Schools
Language is more than just a means of communication—it’s a reflection of identity, history, and culture. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the exciting news that Inuktitut classes will soon be offered in Ottawa schools. In partnership with Tungasuvvingat Inuit and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, this initiative will help urban Inuit children reconnect with their language and heritage. As Ottawa is home to a large Inuit population, programs like this are crucial in ensuring that Inuktitut continues to thrive for future generations. We’re proud to see this important step towards preserving and celebrating Inuit culture in the heart of the city. Read more here.
