N.W.T. gov't needs to reckon with issues contributing to suicides of young people, says health minister

Earlier this week, chief coroner Garth Eggenberger released data on suicides from 2021 and the first nine months of 2022. In that period, 29 people died by suicide — eighteen of them this year. Health Minister Julie Green says the territory needs a "whole-of-government" response to address the spike.
