Tununiq MLA James Arvaluk has resigned from Nunavut's legislative assembly for health reasons.
Arvaluk notified the assembly of his resignation on Monday, officials have confirmed.
Arvaluk, 63, had a heart attack and a stroke last year and spent weeks in an Ottawa hospital before returning home to Pond Inlet, where he has been recovering since.
