Aarluk to Conduct 2012 Inuit Firm Registry Survey

Aarluk Consulting Inc. has been contracted by Atuqtuarvik Corporation to conduct its 2012 Inuit Firm Registry Survey. Atuqtuarvik, an Inuit-owned investment company, was established to help develop the Nunavut economy by providing loans and equity investments to Inuit-owned businesses for start-up, expansion and acquisition. With the firm belief that economic growth in Nunavut is vital to improving the quality of life for all Nunavummiut, Atuqtuarvik has been conducting a survey of Inuit businesses registered in Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.'s Inuit Firm Registry Database every four years since 2004.

The surveys help to update the profile of registered Inuit businesses and to gain a more current understanding of their financial requirements and support needs. The results of these surveys also assist organizations involved in economic development in Nunavut with program development and help them to anticipate the capital needs of Inuit businesses over the next five years. Aarluk completed both previous Inuit Firm Registry surveys for Atuqtuarvik, first in 2004 and again in 2008.

The Aarluk project team includes Christian Cloutier who will be Project Manager and Research Consultant, Greg Smith as Senior Advisor, and Cindy Rennie as a Research Consultant providing support to stakeholders in Inuktitut. If you are an Inuit firm, stay tuned for more details on the 2012 Survey for your chance to win a $500 cash prize!
