FCNQ-ILAGIISAQ, STRONGER TOGETHER
Uniting the co-op movement and communities of Nunavik.
Established in 1967
FCNQ-Ilagiisaq is dedicated to preserving Inuit heritage while advancing the well-being of the community.
We honor the values of respect, collaboration and resilience that have sustained the Inuit people for generations. Through initiatives focused on economic development, education and cultural preservation, we strive to create opportunities that empower Nunavimmiuts to thrive in today’s world while maintaining a strong connection to the past.
Who We Are
Our core mandate is to support our member co-ops
We act as a central partner for the region’s cooperatives, providing comprehensive support across all areas — from merchandise and fresh food distribution, to IT, payroll, and accounting services.
What We Do
The co-op is much more than a store. Its success is reflected in a wide range of services and initiatives, including:
- Retail operations offering a broad selection of goods
- Financial services, postal outlets and cable TV access
- Training programs, staff development, and auditing support
- Showcasing and marketing Inuit art across Canada and internationally
- Hospitality services, including hotels, travel planning, and guided adventure and fishing camps
- Bulk fuel storage and distribution to support community needs
- Construction of co-ops, hotels, housing, schools, and other infrastructure throughout Nunavik
