CBC North covered a wide range of stories in Nunavik in 2025, including emergencies, voting issues, and significant events. One of the major stories was the 50th anniversary of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, signed in 1975 after years of negotiations. The agreement granted more autonomy to the Cree and Inuit communities in exchange for relinquishing their rights to traditional territories.
Another notable event was the water crisis in Puvirnituq, where residents faced limited water supply due to a frozen pipeline, leading to a state of emergency declaration. Additionally, all 14 mayors in Nunavik called for a public health emergency over rising tuberculosis cases, criticizing the lack of resources and systemic issues in the region’s health services.
During the federal election, several Nunavik villages experienced early closure or the absence of polling booths, depriving many residents of their voting rights. Lastly, Nunavik decided to permanently switch to daylight time, eliminating seasonal clock changes starting next year, a move that raised logistical concerns for some residents.
These stories reflect the challenges and milestones experienced in Nunavik throughout the year.
