Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) represents the collective interests of the Inuvialuit people in dealings with governments and external stakeholders. Formed through the signing of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA), a historic land claim settlement, IRC’s mission is to continually improve the economic, social, and cultural well-being of the Inuvialuit through the implementation of the IFA and other strategic initiatives.
Headquartered in Inuvik, IRC employs over 180 individuals, with more than 80% of positions filled by Inuvialuit beneficiaries. Both IRC and its economic development subsidiary, the Inuvialuit Development Corporation (IDC), are dedicated to fostering opportunities for beneficiaries across all levels of the organization. Many of IRC’s divisions and subsidiary operations are supported by IRC’s legal team, which requires a broad, generalist legal expertise.
