Member’s Statement On Passing Of Respected Nunakput Elders

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this has been a very difficult month for the people of Nunakput. It is with great sadness that I inform the Assembly of the loss of three very respected elders: Mrs. Sarah Kuptana from Sachs Harbour, Mrs. Alice Carpenter from Tuktoyaktuk, and Mr. Bobby Gruben also from Tuk. All of them will be greatly missed. Bobby Gruben is well known across the North as an ambassador for the people of Tuk. The whole community looked up to him. He was always there to lend a helping hand and give me advice, for which I am grateful.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer my condolences to Rosemary, Robert and Roger Kuptana and their families; Willie Carpenter and his family; and Jean, Mervin and Eddie Gruben and all of the Gruben family from Tuk. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and with the Nunakput people at this time of sorrow. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
