2012 Nunavut Tradeshow

From September 25-27, the Baffin Regional Chamber of Commerce (BRCC) hosted the 21st annual Nunavut Trade Show and Conference in Iqaluit at the Arctic Winter Games Complex. The show was bustling as usual, with a number of people stopping by the Aarluk booth, to talk business or to just say "hi". We were happy to see many familiar faces as well as meet new people! In addition, Aarluk delivered some of the conference sessions that were being held, including a presentation by Aarluk General Manager Jimmy Jacquard, called “The Virtual Office – Running your Business from a Distance.” This presentation examined everything from online banking to dealing with payroll issues to storing and managing files and documents online, all intended for an audience of Baffin businesses who may need to, at times, run their businesses from a distance.

 
Below, you can see Jimmy at work, and the lucky winner of the Aarluk booth draw, Adam Larkin, who won a necklace made by local artist Matt Nuqingaq. Matt also provided Aarluk with a polar bear claw necklace, which Aarluk donated to BRCC to include at the annual fundraising silent auction, held at the closing gala dinner. The auction raises funds for a wide variety of local charities and organizations each year, which this year included groups such as Reach, the local judo club, and Skills Nunavut, among others.
 
 
Aarluk would like to thank all of the BRCC staff, including Executive Director Chris West, Office Manager Lisa McGrath and Events Manager Debbie Purvis among others for their help during the tradeshow in ensuring everything ran smoothly. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!
