About Kipnik
Kipnik provides reliable site support services across the Arctic
Kipnik Inc. is a 100% Inuvialuit-owned company that provides customized support services and wildlife security solutions throughout Canada. Kipnik has a strong track record of providing staff for projects throughout the North and is committed to operating with the goal of developing long-term socioeconomic benefits for Indigenous Peoples, businesses and communities. We are committed to the highest safety and quality standards, leveraging our innovative skilled service solutions and expertise to meet and exceed customer expectations.
Kipnik Wildlife Services (now Kipnik Inc.), was established by Founder and President Jason Okpik-Cutten when he realized that wildlife monitor positions in the North were being filled by southern companies with workers from the South. It only seemed natural that traditional knowledge held by Inuit and Inuvialuit People be utilized to fill these positions.
“Kipnik Inc. is proud to support our communities in the North,” said Okpik-Cutten. “With our mandate of Indigenous employment and local economic development, we continue advocating for work done for the North, by the North.”
Kipnik Inc. is dedicated to strengthening this mandate by ensuring local employment and socioeconomic benefits stay within the local communities. Kipnik brings industry best practices and knowledge to many northern projects, all with their own geographical and logistical complexities. It is our priority to support Indigenous and local suppliers, provide training and employment to the local communities and to bring real economic value and benefits to the North.
