AIR INUVIALUIT PROUD, FAMILIAR STAFF OF CANADIAN NORTH There may be only about 6,000 Inuvialuit, but collectively under the Inuvialuit Development Corporation, they own a whole airline with Canadian North. We know its routes well by now, but not everyone gets a behind-the-scenes look at some of the staff. We spoke to some of our Inuvialuit family and friends working for Canadian North about their job, career path and any advice they may have for young aviation enthusiasts. Most of these interviews took place in late 2018. Since then, Canadian North and First Air, previously a company run by Makivik Corporation in Nunavik, have merged into one unified company. But under whichever name or colours, these are some proud, experienced Inuvialuit who have found a great career path, and they serve as an example of the heights you can reach with a little effort.
