Baffinland Iron Mines could not provide details on the tens of millions of dollars it says it awarded in contracts to Inuit firms. But some residents don’t know where that money has gone

A company that runs the largest mining operation in Nunavut says it has awarded tens of millions of dollars in contracts to Inuit firms in the hamlet of Sanirajak, but some residents say they don’t know where that money has gone.

Baffinland told The Canadian Press in a statement that it could not provide details on the money, including the names of its contractors in Sanirajak, because its commercial contracts are confidential. The registry lists three Inuit firms in Sanirajak: Pilitak Enterprises Ltd., a construction company; the Sanirajak Co-op; and Pirursiak Arctic Tours.

Nick Snider, the Co-op’s general manager, said in an interview that the Co-op helps with shuttling employees to Baffinland’s planes and has spent $60,000 on community food hampers distributed by Baffinland.“There’s no sum that large coming through us,” Snider said. “When there’s projects going on I mostly look after the girls in the kitchen, the cleaners,” she said.
