ABOUT US
"Qanuqtuurniq - Finding the Balance" shared health information, stories about successful Inuit community health projects and interesting research with audiences across northern regions in May 2009 . It was co-ordinated by the Inuit Tuttarvingat, the Inuit-specific unit of the National Aboriginal Health Organization.
TV PHONE-IN SHOWS
"Qanuqtuurniq - Finding the Balance" was an International Polar Year outreach project. It involved a project team of health promotion experts, researchers, Inuit organizations, community members, and northern broadcasters, as well as several working groups that helped develop the content.
Inuit Communications (ICSL) of Iqaluit, Nunavut along with EnTheos Films of Ottawa, produced the series and it was broadcast in May 2009 on the Aboriginal Peoples’ Television Network (APTN) North and Alaska's 360 North.
The three television programs were:
- about Inuit youth and coping; Inuit men's health; and Inuit maternity care
- live and interactive through phone and e-mail
- aired in the Inuit language with English captions
- broadcast on May 11, 12 & 13, 8-10 p.m. Eastern Time
- broadcast simultaneously through a Web-cast on the National Inuit Youth Council's Web site, www.niyc.ca
- hosted by an Inuk broadcaster, with a panel of community experts and a live studio audience
- a way to share interesting information about Inuit health and wellness
- an opportunity for Inuit to talk to Arctic researchers and ask how research is benefiting Inuit communities.
