President extends condolences on passing

On behalf of the Nunatsiavut Government and Beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement, President Johannes Lampe extends his heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Don Dicker Sr. who passed away in Nain on Sunday after losing his battle with cancer.

Mr. Dicker was the former registrar of Nunatsiavut Government, a long-time employee of the Labrador Inuit Association, and was part of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims negotiations. He also held a board position on the Nunatsiavut Housing Commission, was appointed to the Nain Membership Committee, and sat on the Tradition & Transition Project Management Committee.

“Mr. Dicker was a strong advocate for Nunatsiavut and our people,” said President Lampe. “He was dedicated to the project of self-government, especially where housing for Inuit was concerned. We are grateful to Mr. Dicker for his work in enhancing the life of Nunatsiavummiut.”
