Press Release

February 17, 2026

Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe today responded to the announcement by the Labrador Inuit Capital Strategy Trust (LICST) regarding Nunatsiavut Construction Inc. (NCI) winding down its operations.

“NCI has played a role in infrastructure work in Nunatsiavut and Upper Lake Melville, and many Inuit have contributed to that work,” said President Lampe. “We recognize the LICST’s decision and the need for a responsible transition.”

The President emphasized that the decision relates to NCI and does not affect other operations within the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies (NGC).

“NGC is a strong organization with a broad portfolio. This development is specific to NCI,” he said. “The Nunatsiavut Government supports NGC’s efforts to manage the transition in a way that prioritizes workers, community needs, and continuity of operations.”

The President added that the Nunatsiavut Government’s focus remains on long-term Inuit economic development, including supporting Inuit business capacity and the pursuit of strategic opportunities that advance Labrador Inuit interests.
