Our Team
Ilitaqsiniq is proud to have an all-Inuit Board of Directors who work together to govern Ilitaqsiniq and provide strategic input to our decisions. Our staff team is responsible for the design and delivery of Ilitaqsiniq’s entire suite of programs.
With everyone based in Nunavut, we are closely connected to Nunavummiut and are able to tailor our holistic programs to participants’ and communities’ needs.
Ilitaqsiniq also works with a large roster of Elders, content specialists and youth who offer project-based support and bring wisdom, knowledge, expertise and passion to our programs.
