Outings
Back to basics!
For those who have made the decision to move to one of our communities to work, you have three trips per school year for you and, if applicable, your dependents. The employee can also choose to transfer one of their trips to a family member or friend to use to visit them in their assigned community.

Food Transport
You have to eat well!
To compensate for the high cost of food in Nunavik, you can choose one of two options that the Board offers to all Nunavik-based employees:
- Option 1: We offer the possibility of doing your grocery shopping remotely and shipping your order to your community. Transportation costs are covered by the Board.
- Option 2: On each paycheck, we cover an amount of the value of the kilograms allocated to you based on the price per kilogram of your community of assignment.
There is also a contribution program run by the Government of Canada, to facilitate access to nutritious perishable food for Northerners living in isolated communities, which can further reduce your grocery bill.
