geopolitical developments and changes in national policy direction are having local impacts that in turn create game-changing opportunities for us,” says Forlin. “NORAD modernization, increased marine traffic through the Northwest Passage, renewable energy initiatives, broadband ubiquity as an essential service—for each of these areas of development we’re still in their early days of understanding local impacts to our region.” KC is positioned to get in front of the new infrastructure requirements and support services that will be required as each of these areas of development proceed over the coming years. The Corporation is ideally placed to take a lead role in moving these opportunities and initiatives forward in a manner that aligns with the interests of the Kitikmeot Inuit. “Our Board has recognized that organizational transformation will be necessary if we are to achieve our ambitions. In the short term the main areas of focus for KC’s management team will be to build out our organizational capabilities and adapt our capital allocation strategy in order to better meet our fiveyear growth objectives.” For more information, please visit www.kitikmeotcorp.ca BBE Edmonton 41 JUNE 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
