Kivalliq Inuit Association Housing Project

INVITATION AND PURPOSE The Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA) is seeking Proposals from qualified Proponents (Design-Builders) for the design, development, construction, commissioning and Handover of thirty-seven (37) new three-bedroom, turn-key Housing Units across six Communities in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut.
