Course to help break the language barrier in the Labrador justice system
The Telegram

A course intended to get Innu and Inuit people involved in the justice system in
Labrador began today in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Students from Innu and Inuit communities who complete the Aboriginal Legal
Interpreters Course will be eligible for employment in the justice system as
legal interpreters.

Justice Minister Jerome Kennedy said the hope is that the course will foster
increased understanding of the justice system as more people are able to
participate using their own language.
