In accordance with the IRC Distribution Policy, each enrolled Inuvialuit beneficiary will receive $563.20. A total of $2,396,990 will be paid to 4,256 beneficiaries enrolled in the Inuvialuit Trust. Payments can be expected May 10.

The distribution payments are based upon 15% of the Average Comprehensive Income for the preceding ten-year period as determined from IRC’s audited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.

IRC subsidiaries – Inuvialuit Development Corporation, Inuvialuit Investment Corporation, Inuvialuit Land Corporation and Inuvialuit Petroleum Corporation – will contribute to the distribution.
