The RCMP provides policing services in all communities. Some communities also have By-Law officers who enforce local By-Laws.

None of our health facilities currently use French as its working language. However, French is an official language and is an asset.

Nunavut has three official languages – the Inuit language (most commonly Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun), English and French. Generally, health services are provided in English and translation services are provided for those wishing to receive services in the Inuit language or French.

There are three categories of communities in Nunavut when it comes to liquor possession and consumption. There are communities where liquor is prohibited, communities where it is restricted to those who have permission from the community’s Alcohol Education Committee, and unrestricted communities where liquor can be purchased and used subject to the provisions of the Nunavut Liquor Control Act. The community designation is a matter of community choice.
