Governor General Mary Simon met eight women who are reconnecting with their Inuit roots as they try to heal from addiction during her visit to Kuujjuaq.
Mary Simon wiped away tears hearing what her visit meant to the participants and leaders of Isuarsivik Recovery Centre in Kuujjuaq on Monday.
Isuarsivik was founded in 1994 as a community organization focused on addictions treatment. But in the early 2000s, after funding issues and a lack of success in program outcomes, it shut down for several years. Many of the people who shared lunch with the Governor General on Monday have their own experience asking for help, including George Kauki.Kauki began working at Isuarsivik nearly seven years ago when he was five years sober, and is now the program’s land coordinator. He said it’s been helpful to be in an environment where people are encouraging of his sobriety.
