The Kivalliq Inuit Association announced on March 18, 2026, that it is holding a special meeting for its members in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. This gathering provides a key opportunity for community members to participate in association decision-making and stay informed on regional issues that affect all residents.
The meeting is expected to address important updates surrounding Kivalliq Arctic Foods. This facility is a central food processor in the region, handling traditional country foods like caribou, muskox, and Arctic char to ensure they are available for purchase in local stores.
As a subsidiary of the government-owned Nunavut Development Corporation, the plant also provides employment for local Inuit. The association issued a formal notice for the special meeting so that members can be briefed on the future of this regional economic and food hub.
The Kivalliq Inuit Association is the primary group representing the interests of Inuit in the region. It manages various programs related to land claims, economic development, and cultural preservation to support the community.
