Record number of delegates, sponsors involved in event that runs Sept. 23 to 25
This week’s 15th annual Kivalliq Trade Show is set to break records.
More than 250 delegates have registered so far for the event, which runs Monday through Wednesday at the Agnico Eagle Arena in Rankin Inlet. More than 60 exhibitors, 45 artists and 30 sponsors are part of the event.
“It’s just been growing over the years,” said Robert Connelly, president of the trade show organizing committee.
With the region’s Meadowbank gold mine slated to close within the next decade and Meliadine mine having about five years of production remaining, the theme of this year’s trade show is “Building a Sustainable Kivalliq.”
