Under the IFA, each Inuvialuit community, including Aklavik, Inuvik, Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour, Tuktoyaktuk, and Ulukhaktok has a Community Corporation which is made up of six elected Directors and one elected Chair. Through these corporations, eligible Inuvialuit beneficiary members directly control Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) and its subsidiaries.
The goals and objectives of the Community Corporations include:
- Setting the criteria for membership in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement.
- Identifying Inuvialuit who qualify to be active members of the corporation.
- Identifying Inuvialuit who qualify to be honourary members of the corporation.
- Regulating matters of local concern to the members of the corporation.
- Participating as a member of (and together with the other Community Corporations) IRC.
- Exercising control over any development activity on Inuvialuit land approved by Inuvialuit Land Administration or IRC.
- Receiving and distributing funding from all sources for community purposes.
- Establishing the Inuvialuit Community Corporation Hunters and Trappers Committees (HTCs).
- determining the qualifications for membership.
