You can watch the update here, on our CBC Nunavut Facebook page or tune in to CBC North Radio One.
As of Wednesday, the territory had 186 known active cases of COVID-19 in at least 14 communities.
However, the territory is no longer testing people who believe they have the virus if they live in a community where the virus is known to be present.
On Jan. 6, Health Minister John Main said he "fully expects" to see COVID-19 in all communities over the next month.
School is set to resume Monday in Nunavut, after an extended holiday break due to COVID-19.
On Tuesday, Education Minister Pamela Gross said the plan is for students to study virtually for a week, with in-person classes possibly resuming in Jan. 24.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
