Nunalituqait Ikajuqatigiitut Inuit Association (NIIA) is working on a regional youth conference called Qanaq Conference in the Nunavimmi Pigiursavik Centre and Residence in Inukjuak between June 9-13, 2025. 

The first Qanaq conference for youth was held in July 2010 in Inukjuak. We continued to hold Qanaq every two years and the last one we organized was in 2019 and then the pandemic and staff changes interrupted the continuity of the conference.

Qanaq Conference offers a very unique opportunity to Inuit youth (18-35 years old). It is an opportunity that engages them in life-long learning and introduction to new thoughts and ideas.

Apply before May 28!
