Inuit Tuttarvingat believes the Inuit Tobacco-free Network is an ideal way to:

  • Provide Inuit health workers and their colleagues with up-to-date resources and the latest research on tobacco use reduction
  • Connect health workers in remote communities to others working in other Inuit regions
  • Inform health workers in Inuit communities of upcoming gatherings, training, and events related to their field
  • Encourage Inuit health workers and their colleagues to share their stories and experiences with others

The Inuit Tobacco-free Network also provides a listserv for information sharing.

The Inuit Tobacco-free Network aims to keep Inuit health workers and their colleagues up-to-date on tobacco reduction resources, research and events. Check here regularly to find out what's new.
