CBC North reported on numerous stories in Nunavik in 2025, covering a range of topics including emergencies, voting issues, and significant events. One of the major stories was the 50th anniversary of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, signed in 1975 after years of opposition from Cree and Inuit communities concerned about the impact of hydroelectric projects on their traditional way of life.
Another significant event was the water crisis in Puvirnituq, where residents faced limited or no water supply for months due to a frozen pipeline. The situation led to the declaration of a state of emergency as the village struggled with water shortages and a rise in illness cases.
In June, all 14 mayors in Nunavik called for a public health emergency to be declared due to a surge in tuberculosis cases, attributing the crisis to systemic racism and inadequate healthcare resources in the region. Additionally, some Nunavik villages experienced disruptions in voting services during the federal election, with polling booths closing early or not opening at all, leading to concerns about disenfranchisement of voters.
Lastly, Nunavik announced a permanent shift to daylight time starting next year, eliminating seasonal time changes. While some residents expressed concerns about potential challenges, others in communities that have already made the change reported no regrets.
