What happens next
Interested applicants can submit a resume to URRC@gov.nu.ca by Sept. 17. The public notice does not state when an appointment will be made or identify the term for this vacancy.

Important details
Priority consideration is offered to Nunavut Inuit who self-identify as enrolled under the Nunavut Agreement. The notice lists compensation under the government’s board-member directive at $400 per day or $200 per half-day. The Council’s website says a quiet month can require roughly two to two-and-a-half days of reading and review, while major matters can also involve seven to 10 days of travel for public hearings. This is a recruitment notice, not an appointment. Sourceurrc.gov.nu.ca↗ Sourceurrc.gov.nu.ca↗
