ITK Board of Directors endorsed the creation of the Ad-hoc Inuit Justice Working Group (Inuit Working Group) which was mandated to participate in the proposed federal Indigenous Justice Strategy.
The Inuit Working Group endorsed a proposed approach for co-development of the IJS: building on the engagement process that ITK, ITOs and Pauktuutit have previously conducted for the IJS development, the Inuit Working Group will draft the Inuit chapter for the Indigenous Justice Strategy.

The project will support the Manitoba Métis Federation within Wave 3 of the Indigenous Justice Strategy to undertake key activities within the co-development process with Canada.

This project aims to improve maternal and newborn health among remote and marginalized populations in Tanzania by providing access to synchronous mobile ultrasound technology. Project activities include: (1) training front-line health workers to effectively use remote ultrasound technology and identify high-risk cases for referral; (2) training front-line health workers to increase awareness of ultrasound benefits and safety through counselling and routine services; (3) promoting antenatal care services in target communities and countering socio-cultural and gender beliefs preventing care seeking; (4) training and mentoring health managers to plan, monitor, manage and evaluate gender-responsive antenatal care and sexual and reproductive health service delivery; and (5) collecting data on remote antenatal care activities to contribute to evidence-based policy improvements.

In 2022–2023, Cold Lake First Nations (CLFN) initiated foundational efforts to preserve the Nation's documentary heritage by creating an Archives Policy, an Archives Committee, and a Facility Plan. This led to CLFN's 2023–2024 Listen, Hear Our Voices project "Digitizing the Documentary Heritage of Cold Lake First Nations." This project focuses on digitizing at-risk items needing urgent intervention, such as oral history maps and media (cassettes, videos and floppy disks), expanding the Nation's digital storage capacity, and researching into accessibility models.

As a result of the 2022–2023 project, it has become apparent that next steps should be continued digitization of paper-based records into a digital inventory. This will be achieved using a scanner and software package purchased this year.
