Joint Secretariat

In 1984, the Parliament of Canada enacted the Western Arctic Claims (Inuvialuit) Settlement Act, thereby giving effect to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA); and in 1986, the Joint Secretariat was established to provide technical, financial, and administrative support to the Inuvialuit Game Council and 4 of the 5 co-management boards, which serve sections 11-14  outlined in the IFA.
