Nortext doesn’t own Ayaya

In your otherwise accurate article on the Arctic Wisdom project “Photographer to send message from top of the world,” (April 15), you stated incorrectly that Ayaya is owned by Nortext.

Ayaya Marketing and Communications is majority-owned by Inuit shareholders and Nunavut residents. Some shares are held by the Roberts family, who own Nortext, and there is a strategic alliance between the two companies.

I will be leaving Ayaya May 9 to join Nunavut Tunngavik as their Chief Executive Officer. I will no longer be an owner as at that date.

However, I understand that the other shareholders intend to continue Ayaya’s mandate as Inuit and Nunavut-owned.
