Inuvialuit Regional Corporation

Established in 1984, the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) manages the settlement outlined in the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) and represents the collective Inuvialuit interest in dealings with governments and the world at large. Our goal is to continually improve the economic, social and cultural well-being of Inuvialuit through the implementation of the IFA and by all other available means.
