TUNGASUVVINGAT INUIT
Tungasuvvingat
Inuit (TI) aims at empowering and enhancing the lives of Inuit. Since 1987, TI has been operating in Ottawa as a community-based
counselling and resource centre.
TI offers a supportive environment that attempts to duplicate the community spirit and cultural surrounding of the Inuit homelands. Visitors at the drop-in centre can make tea and bannock; catch up on news from home by reading northern newspapers, and socialize with other Inuit.

The Tugnasuvvingat Inuit web site uses a syllabic font on some pages. If you do not currently have Nunacom font installed on your computer please visit http://www.nwmb.com/english/download.php and follow the instructions. Once you have downloaded the font all pages will be displayed accurately.
TI is the only organization of its kind in Ontario and as a result it is called upon to provide advice and support to other agencies across the province and country (eg. shelters, courts, hospitals, schools.) For these agencies, TI provides:
• information on Inuit culture and values
• resource information for Inuit specific programming
• understanding of *Inuit Rights in the City
• information on financial assistance for Inuit post-secondary students
TI focuses on providing clients with programs and services that:
• include Inuit country food
• assists with the adjustment to an urban centre
• maintain client confidentiality
• promotes individual and community healing through culturally appropriate programming
• provides a place for Inuit to gather with other Inuit
TI's programs and services are possible with the support of our sponsors
