It has been some time since we have had rain that caused run offs on the ground. Light rain all day yesterday and into the more serious stuff today. Not good for walking around but Siutik will play a role in whether we do or not.
Okalakatiget Society has a new Executive Director starting this week. OK has been without any stable leadership at the top for some time, by stable I mean anyone in the position for any length of time, not the stability of the people who were in the job or filling in over the past few years.
Sarah Leo is short on media experience but long on other management skills and has a reputation for using common sense and reasonableness in dealing with issues that will surely crop up.
One thing I hope the new management team will take a look at is introducing on line broadcasting for their radio programming. It should not be that expensive to set up pod casting or even a live feed and the skill sets are available, so why not do it as it is much in demand.

Well, Sarah had four years heading up NICG to set up a community web site that would offer community information and allow people to provide feedback and submit enquiries, but it was never a priority so I wouldn't hold your breath to see her do anything regarding streaming the radio broadcasts online. But, stranger things have happened.
Good point Anonymous [I allow this just because it is a good point], I am not oblivious to that fact but there are other attributes that are brought to the table that I am hoping will be a positive move for OK.
I note that on the coast only Rigolett and Makkovik towns have there own wed sites, the rest rely on the ‘our Labrador’ site to put out general information.
It seems to me that secrecy and lack of information sharing in any form is endemic within Nunatsiavut, especially in the ‘new media’ form, just look at ‘our beautiful land’ web site, it is pathetically devoid of any useful updated information.
Too true. Too true.
