An employee with the Nunatsiavut Government is the first Beneficiary of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement to receive the “Pride in Profession” award, presented annually to a registered social worker who promotes the advancement of social work in their workplace, community and province, and demonstrates outstanding pride in the profession.
Rita-Ann Voisey, Family Connections Manager with the Department of Health and Social Development in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, received her award virtually yesterday from the Newfoundland and Labrador College of Social Workers.
“As a registered worker, it is excellent to see a Beneficiary of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement honored in this way,” says Health and Social Development Minister Gerald Asivak. “Congratulations to Rita-Ann on this achievement, and thanks to all social workers in Nunatsiavut, as their work impacts to many throughout the region and beyond.”
