RAGLAN MINE
Akkivik
The Akkivik Program responds to the desire of creating a lasting positive legacy, beyond the Raglan Agreement.
Through the Akkivik Program (“to give a leg up” in Inuktitut), Raglan Mine is looking to offer a leg up to its host communities by supporting projects that will provide direct and long term social and economic development, at a local level, in Kangiqsujuaq and Salluit.
Focus on the Akkivik program
The focus of the Akkivik program is to actively support initiatives by providing some “seed-money” and/or in-kind support to help community projects in Kangiqsujuaq and Salluit. The overarching concepts of advancement, self-sufficiency and working together locally will inform all aspects of this process.
Theme areas the Akkivik program aims to support
- Culture
- Community Health & Well-Being
- Education, Training & Leadership Development
- Entrepreneurial Capacity Development & Job Creation
- Food Security
- Energy Security
The 2022 call for projects is open from February 1 to March 31!
