CCof L and schools.

The Combined Councils of Labrador will be holding the 35th AGM in Nain next week, see link on right side bar.
As stated there, the CCofL was originated by the northern Labrador councils. It has since grown and the smaller northern communities have been some what marginalized by the lager ones in the organization. Some may even say the organization has been high jacked.
Why not that long ago there was rumblings of the original communities pulling out and going it alone. Things seem to have quieted down on that front, at least publicly.
With the formation of Nunatsiavut, and the taking over of the 5 Inuit community councils by Nunatsiavut Government, it remains to be seen how things will work out at CCofL now. I for one am curious, be nice to hear some information on that from those that may know.
The 5 are now called [put name of town here] Inuit Community Governments.

The Nain School, grades 5 to 12 has been closed all week. Understandable early in week with the low wind chills. But CBC keeps announcing that the school remains closed for all grades, it can’t be the weather now. I have heard rumors, and CKOK had a story on what was going on but I missed it. CBC HV-GB does not seem curios as there has been nothing on the subject in a story sense. Plenty of coverage of a school closing with heating problems on the south coast. In golfing parlance, it’s par for the course.
