Nunavut Tunngavik adds second vice-president post for Dec. 14 election

Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. will elect two vice-presidents on Dec. 14 after creating a second vice-president post. NTI spokesperson Annie Thomlinson said the new role responds to the organization's growing workload and operational requirements. Vice-presidents may chair board committees covering finance, wildlife and environment, social and cultural development, infrastructure and housing, or lands. Duties will reflect the winners' strengths and interests. Four candidates have registered: incumbent vice-president Paul Irngaut, Robert Bourassa, Adamee Itorcheak and Aaron Aopaloktok Pedersen, who had until Monday afternoon to withdraw. Beneficiaries who vote will again be offered vouchers; in a May by-election, NTI offered $100 grocery vouchers.
