KITIKMEOT INUIT ASSOCIATION

Purpose

As the Designated Inuit Organization representing the interests of all Inuit in the Kitikmeot region, the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KitIA) will deliver the Entrepreneurship and Business Development (EBD) Fund program on CanNor's behalf, under a three-year External Delivery Organization (XDO) arrangement. The EBD program is designed to support the start-up or expansion of Indigenous-owned businesses, including individual and community-owned enterprises. With an XDO arrangement, KitIA will have the authority to solicit, assess, and make recommendations to CanNor for contributions towards eligible EBD recipients and projects, as set out in the CanNor EBD program terms and conditions.
