wealth and employment opportunities for Kitikmeot Inuit as they are represented by our shareholder.” Dino Forlin Chief Operating Officer, tells Business Elite Canada. “I think its fair to say that from its humble beginnings, KC has grown to become the cornerstone of business in Western Nunavut by and for Kitikmeot Inuit land claim beneficiaries.” KC’s initial investment strategy focused on regional business opportunities—primarily in developing commercial and residential real estate, local construction and establishing support services for the local resource industry. “Slow and steady regional growth in these sectors has built a solid foundation that in turn has allowed us to expand and diversify our portfolio in a manner that aligns with Kitikmeot Inuit interests,” says Forlin. “For example, we’ve made significant investments in businesses that can sell varied products and services throughout Canada and globally and yet still maintain a strong business presence in the North.” KC has decades of experience creating strong networks and resources, allowing the team to offer a holistic approach that ensures the region, and partner companies prosper and thrive. Most recently, KC branched out into infrastructure development, with multiple projects in development focused on telecommunication and energy solutions that address the service gaps we currently experience in Nunavut. KC is proud to partner with companies seeking to expand North, and its support and networks have helped dozens of businesses grow and thrive in the Kitikmeot region and beyond.
