Six specialists on northern Canadian issues examine the transfer of power from the federal government to the governments of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Land claims, aboriginal self-government, division of the NWT, the territorial governments' pursuit of fuller recognition in Canadian federalism and devolution all interact in confusing ways. This book makes the best sense of the complex processes underway in the Canadian north.

Product of a workshop held in Churchill, Manitoba in October 1988 which examined medical epidemiological issues, cultural issues and issues of administration, policy, and program implementation and the impact of changes on practitioners. This included the examination of obstetric patterns and birth outcomes over past 5 years across the North, women's and families' experiences of current childbirth system and extent of impact. Impetus for workshop was "Inuit Childbirth Study", a collaborative project to study childbirth in the North, particularly the Keewatin Region of the Northwest Territories.

Health research in Canada has mostly focused on urban areas, often overlooking the unique issues faced by Canadians living in rural and remote areas. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the state of rural health and health care in Canada, from coast to coast and in northern communities. Three themes are highlighted: rural places matter to health, rural places are unique, and rural places are dynamic. The contributors bring insights and methodologies from nursing, social work, geography, epidemiology, and sociology and from community-based research to a full spectrum of topics: health literacy, rural health care delivery and training, Aboriginal health, web-based services and their application, rural palliative care, and rural health research and policy. Taken together, these wide-ranging and multifaceted explorations of the dynamic relationship between health and place offer researchers and policy-makers, students and practitioners a valuable resource for understanding the special, ever-changing needs of rural communities.

When it comes to the health and wellness of its citizens, Canada is a leading nation amongst its peers. Unfortunately, highquality of life and health standards remain elusive for certain segments of Canada's population. People living in Canada's Northern Territories generally report higher rates of physical and mental health challenges than their southern counterparts. Nunavut, in particular, struggles with these issues, having a higher suicide rate, greater frequency of chronic illness, and lower life expectancy than any other territory or province in Canada. This signals a clear need for upstream health initiatives, including programs and projects that enhance understanding, prevention, and intervention. So what is being done to address these issues? Qaujigiartiit is an independent, community-driven health and wellness research centre that was established to serve Nunavummiut. Its primary objective is to "enable health research to be conducted locally, by northerners, and with communities in a supportive, safe, culturally-sensitive and ethical environment, and to promote the inclusion of both Inuit and Western epistemologies and methodologies in addressing health concerns." As such, Qaujigiartiit works on projects of priority to communities, such as climate change, infectious illness, mental health, sexual health, the health care system, and the health of children and youth. Join Dr. Gwen Healey for this 60-minute webinar as she describes and reflects upon Qaujigiartiit's community-led interventions to promote health and wellness among youth in Nunavut. Hear about the methods and tools employed; why they were chosen; how they work; and what kind of impact they have had on the youth who attend the programs. Gwen will explore the link between improved health outcomes and advancements in community and individual capacity development, and the long-term benefits of this approach.
