Statistics Canada, which admits to having historical “data gaps” in the North, will conduct its first survey in all four of Nunavut’s official languages next year, according to CBC News.

The survey, scheduled to launch in April 2021, will focus on employees of the Nunavut and Canadian governments living in the territory, Marc Lachance from Statistics Canada told CBC. The questions will be asked in English, French, Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun.

According to Statistics Canada, in 2016, 23,225 Nunavummiut (65.3 per cent of the population) reported Inuktut as their mother tongue. Inuktut encompasses all Inuit languages.
