First Inuk to lead Canadian North


Canadian North, an Inuit-owned airline, has announced a strategic leadership transition to further support its mission to serve remote and northern communities in Canada’s Arctic. Effective immediately, Shelly De Caria, current VP for sales, marketing & distribution, will assume the role of interim president & CEO, marking a historic milestone as the first Inuk to lead Canadian North.

 

De Caria will continue to lead her VP portfolio alongside this new appointment. Born and raised in Kuujjuaq, Québec, she embodies Canadian North’s core values and commitment to community engagement, the company said.

 

Before joining Canadian North, De Caria contributed at Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, advancing the rights and interests of Canada’s Inuit population. At Canadian North, she has been instrumental in developing a range of community investment programmes impacting education, sport, nutrition, and mental health. (cj)
