Arctic Fresh: more than just a grocer

Evan Schellenberg (on the far right), the general manager of the Arctic Fresh online grocery retailer and food supplier, explains his company’s services to visitors at the Northern Lights trade show in Ottawa last week. The Igloolik-based business, owned by Rhoda Angutimarik and Merlyn Recinos, won Startup Canada’s National Social Enterprise Award last November. And it’s more than just a online grocer. They also do large-scale food supply orders for large customers, and the construction helmets on display at their booth signify the community-based construction firm they’re starting up in Igloolik.
