  • Kivia Covid 19 Response Initiative Phase 2
    KivIA Covid 19 Response Initiative Phase 2 December 8, 2020 By KIA Announcements / Inuit Programs & Services RANKIN INLET, NU – December 7, 2020 – The Kivalliq Inuit Association (KivIA) is pleased to announce the launch of the second phase of its COVID-19 initiatives for its members. Initiatives that included support for its Elders, traditional activities, and support to all its members within our communities had ended. The additional funds for KivIA’s second phase COVID-19 response plan come from additional funding from the Indigenous Community Support Fund (ICSF). The KivIA had carefully considered various options to roll out this additional funding from the federal government. The discussion led to a consensus on a plan that would… Eliminate the need to have the program become application based Allow the general public, KIA staff and Inuit to not come in contact with each other in order to carry out this program, therefore following the Public Health Measures currently in effect. Allow the Inuit in the Kivalliq communities to quickly receive the relief funds without any delay due to administrative time. Benefit local Inuit owned companies with their services Maximize the funding effectiveness with the addition of added funds from the vendor and ability for its members to add on to their dividends. Prevent any tax implications for the Inuit from the federal government in receiving this relief funding. With the above factors put into consideration, it was suggested by the Covid-19 Planning Committee that the ICS Funding would be rolled out with a partnership with the Arctic Cooperatives Limited to provide $1500 gift cards to every Inuit household in the Kivalliq Region.

(TSXV-NAR) is pleased to announce it has entered into a data sharing and royalty agreement with StrategX Elements Corp. involving North Arrow’s Mel Diamond Project, Nunavut. Under terms of the agreement, StrategX has acquired the non-diamond mineral rights to the 56,000 ha Mel property, subject to North Arrow retaining a 1% gross overriding royalty (“GOR”) on non-diamond production from both the property and an approximately 435,000 ha surrounding area of interest (“AOI”).
