Programs

Since the beginning of the Inuit Community Council, now officially known as the Northern Village of Kuujjuaq, there have been several programs that have been ongoing in the community. The oldest program that has been in operation is the Hunters Support Program which was established in the 1970’s when the Inuit Community Council was created.

Additional programs such as Survival Skills, the Kuujjuaq Youth Camp, Junior Rangers Program, Youth Centre, Daily Youth Camp, and the Elders House have been successfully operating. (To view the individual descriptions of the programs click on any one of the links.)

As the community grows, there are more and more programs and projects that are being created to suit the needs of the citizens of Kuujjuaq. Among the ongoing projects, the outdoor recreational infrastructures are continually being updated. Currently, Kuujjuaq has an outdoor skating rink which is located behind the municipal office. There are plans to increase this number and place them in different locations around the community where there will be half-pipe ramps installed for both summer and winter uses, particularly aimed for those amateur skate boarders or snow boarders. One of the recently completed projects is an outdoor basketball court which was added onto one of the four existing parks in the village in the summer of 2004.
