KIA election this spring

Nominations for the top job at the Kivalliq Inuit Association will open later this month.

Starting Feb. 25, Inuit beneficiaries in the Kivalliq region can nominate a person to be president of the KIA. Nominations close on March 11.

Voting day is slated for April 15.

The president’s position was vacated this fall when Paul Kaludjak took a leave of absence to run in the Nunavut Tunngavik elections. After winning the vice-president of finance position, Kaludjak stepped down from KIA.

At KIA’s board meeting in Rankin Inlet last week, the board of directors appointed Donat Milortok as the interim president until the April election.
