Welcome to Aarluk's New General Manager!

Aarluk's new General Manager, Jimmy Jacquard

Jimmy Jacquard is well known to many people in Nunavut. He grew up just outside Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and attended Dalhousie University, obtaining a Bachelor of Science with a major in biology. He then went off to Queen's University to complete a Bachelor of Education. This led to thirteen years in Nunavut, as he travelled north to pursue work in the educational field. Jimmy has been President of the Nunavut Teachers' Association, was one of the vice-presidents of the Canadian Teachers' Federation, and has been the chair of the National Advisory Committee on Aboriginal education.

Jimmy has extensive experience at the municipal, territorial and national level with training and development, facilitation, and strategic planning initiatives. Continuing to "walk the talk," Jimmy completed an Executive Masters of Business Administration degree before beginning his consulting career.

We are all very excited to have Jimmy join Aarluk as our new General Manager. Jimmy will replace Victor Tootoo, who is Aarluk's Vice-President and will now be concentrating full-time on consulting. Jimmy will carry out both management and consulting work for Aarluk, and can be reached in the Iqaluit office at 867-979-2089, or via email at jacquard@aarluk.ca.

Welcome Jimmy!
