Nunavut gov't, teachers' union ratify new collective agreement
The government of Nunavut and the Nunavut Teachers' Association have ratified a new collective agreement with several incremental wage increases until mid-2028. In a news release Thursday, Nunavut's Department of Education announced the new agreement is effective from July 1 to June 30, 2028. Teachers will receive a nine per cent wage increase when the agreement comes into effect in July and another three per cent increase in July 2026 and July 2027. Teachers will also become eligible for bonuses for continuous service, like other employees for the territorial government, and enhanced pay for Inuktut language skills. Education Minister Pamela Gross said the new agreement ensures teachers have the support they need to deliver inclusive, culturally grounded education. "This agreement reflects our sincere appreciation for the teachers who guide and inspire Nunavut's students every day. By strengthening compensation, enhancing language support and recognizing long-term service, we're investing in the people at the heart of our schools," Gross is quoted as saying in the release.

Pamela Gross named Nunavut justice minister in cabinet shuffle
Nunavut Premier P.J. Akeeagok has reassigned some portfolios among his cabinet ministers. In a news release on Monday, the premier said Pamela Gross is now minister of justice, minister responsible for labour and minister responsible for the human rights tribunal. Gross, who's also the deputy premier, will remain as education minister in addition to her new portfolios. The justice, labour and human rights tribunal portfolios were previously held by Minister David Akeeagok. He now takes on two of Gross's previous portfolios, as human resources minister and minister responsible for the Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission, and also stays on as community services minister. The new assignments are effective immediately, the premier said. The announcement is the latest in a number of cabinet upheavals since P.J. Akeeagok was named premier in 2021. Six people have resigned from cabinet over that time, and the premier also faced a confidence vote in the legislature last fall. The next territorial election is just a few months away, on Oct. 27.
