Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation is committed to providing employment opportunities for Inuit across the Qikiqtani region. Over the last year, Baffinland worked closely with its partners, including the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA), to improve Inuit involvement in the Mary River Project. A key goal is to attract potential Baffinland employees from all communities within the Qikiqtani region. To achieve this, Baffinland is committed to covering all costs associated with flights, hotels, and meals related to travel for Baffinland employees from the Qikiqtani region to an existing pick-up point for the Mary River Mine. The existing pick-up locations are:
•Arctic Bay
•Clyde River
•Hall Beach
•Igloolik
•Iqaluit
•Pond Inlet
Baffinland will arrange and cover all costs. There is no cost to the community resident.
