Susan Aglukark leads #ArcticRoseWarCry suicide prevention campaign - North - CBC News: Inuit in Nunavut have long recognized that the numbers of suicide in the territory are of crisis proportions.
In January 2014, Nunavut's coroner announced she would hold an inquest into the "epidemic" after a record 45 people in the territory took their own lives in 2013 — the highest number ever recorded in Nunavut, population 36,000.
The territory has had a suicide prevention strategy in place since 2010 and the issue has been the subject of multiple studies.
Aglukark says that's not enough.
"We can't keep waiting for reports and everything like that. We've got to do something now."
