About the Chamber
Kivalliq Chamber of Commerce
Dec 2023
Welcome to the Kivalliq Chamber of Commerce
The Kivalliq Chamber of Commerce (KCC) is a registered society made up of members of the Kivalliq business community and other regional stakeholders.
KCC was incorporated in 1979 and will celebrate its 45th anniversary in 2024. This important achievement has been made possible through the dedication of KCC’s members and stakeholders. Today, KCC continues to advocate and push for the interests of the Kivalliq business community. This is done through the work of a volunteer board and a part-time executive director. At present, KCC’s ability to deliver additional value to its members, and its impacts upon the Kivalliq Region and Nunavut are limited by its available resources. The Chamber’s role is threefold:
Advcating for the Kivalliq business community
The Chamber is largely comprised of local businesses, many of them small businesses, as well as other stakeholders, including the seven Kivalliq Region municipalities, who participate as Associate Members. The membership biannually elects an executive and Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting.
Connecting Communities
We engage with other Chambers in the North and across the country for the good of the Kivalliq business environment
Sectoral Development
We assist government and other organizations in the delivery and assessment of programs and support services related to the economy and business community of the Kivalliq Region
