Every fiscal year, the Government of the Northwest Territories issues a record of measures taken to implement the Official Languages Act. Each report details developments in both French and Aboriginal language programming. Many programs focus on connecting youth with elders, training teachers, developing curriculum, and providing government services in as many languages as possible.

Some events from this reporting period:

• Describes language plan and notes that ECE is currently working on an updated version for 2015-2020.
• The North Slavey member of the Official Languages Board was Theresa Etchinelle, with Jane Modeste as alternate. For the Aboriginal Language Revitalization Board, it was Dora Grandjambe with Anne Kochon-Orlias as alternate.
• The boards are currently developing a process for amalgamation, which will require amendments to the Official Languages Act.
• The report summarizes the TRC Calls to Action specific to language and culture. It identifies points that it is already undertaking and commits to calling on the federal government for Aboriginal language revitalization funding.
• It then presents one page summaries of each language region’s five year plan, with updates and highlights of 2015-16.
