OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 14, 2021 / Calian® Group Ltd., (TSX:CGY), deliverer of trusted solutions across Advanced Technologies, Health, Learning and IT & Cyber Solutions segments, was selected by the Government of Nunavut to provide telehealth services as part of the government's long-term pandemic preparedness strategy.
