Overview

As of 2017, all public and private organizations in Nunavut are required to communicate to the public in Inuktut. Even with a law passed, getting businesses to comply will take a long time. The Department of Culture and Heritage hired Ayaya to provide strategic marketing and communications services to encourage organizations to voluntarily comply with the law.
