The North West Company Coral Harbour

The North West Company's Northern store in Coral Harbour, Nunavut, is deeply embedded in the community, contributing significantly to its social and economic well-being. The store employs a large number of local residents, with a high percentage of Indigenous employees. It also actively participates in community engagement initiatives. Coral Harbour, known as Salliq (“large, flat island in front of the mainland”) by the Inuit, was named for the fossilized coral found at nearby Fossil Creek. From the earliest Inuit hunters of the Sallirmuit, it has long served as a strategic point on the northern rim of Hudson Bay.
