“This MOU reinforces the strong partnership that has been built to advance this transformative nation-building project,” said Kono Tattuinee, President of the Kivalliq Inuit Association and majority owner of Nukik Corporation. “The Kivalliq Hydro-Fibre Link is about far more than infrastructure—it is a foundation for Inuit self-determination, long-term economic opportunity, and stronger connections between Nunavut and the rest of Canada.”
Article content
The KHFL is the most advanced northern intertie project in Canada. Fully Inuit-owned through Nukik Corporation, the project will deliver Nunavut’s first connection to Canada’s electricity grid and terrestrial fibre network, providing the critical infrastructure needed to strengthen energy security, improve connectivity, reduce reliance on imported diesel, and unlock long-term economic development across the Kivalliq region.

“The Kivalliq Hydro-Fibre Link is one of Canada’s most advanced Inuit-led projects and a clear nation-building opportunity for the country,” said Gloria Uluqsi, President of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. “This agreement reflects the shared commitment of Inuit and the Governments of Nunavut and Manitoba to continue advancing this important project. Continued collaboration and federal leadership will be important to realizing its full potential for future generations.”
Article content
Nunavut is Canada’s largest jurisdiction by land area — yet it remains the only region in the country without an overland connection to the rest of Canada. The KHFL offers a clear and achievable opportunity to change that reality by connecting Nunavut to Manitoba’s clean, reliable hydroelectric grid and high-capacity fibre-optic network. The Kivalliq region currently consumes approximately 138 million litres of diesel annually for electricity generation while relying primarily on satellite communications. The KHFL offers a practical, long-term and domestic solution by connecting the region to clean, reliable Manitoba electricity and high-speed fibre infrastructure.
