What happened
The Kivalliq Trade Show Society has scheduled its 2026 trade show in Rankin Inlet for Sept. 21–23. Monday is set aside for registration, setup and an evening meet-and-greet. The main program, business panels, art market and trade-show activities are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Agnico Eagle Arena.
Why it matters
The event gives Kivalliq businesses, artists, entrepreneurs and community groups a regional place to meet and present their work. The listed public hours provide a practical opportunity for Rankin Inlet residents to visit without registering as delegates.
