What Nunacor Development Corporation does

Nunacor Development Corporation is the incorporated economic development arm of the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC), representing approximately 6,000 Inuit residing primarily in south and central Labrador. Founded in 2003 (originally as the Labrador Metis Nation's Metis Development Corporation, renamed to Nunacor in 2011) and headquartered at 169 Hamilton River Road in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Nunacor operates a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning hospitality, commercial real estate, commercial fisheries, energy, training, and Indigenous business support services. The group's core operating businesses are Royal Inn + Suites Hotel (a 4-star Indigenous-owned hotel rated #1 on TripAdvisor), Mamattuk Restaurant (opened January 2024, 2025 ITAC award winner), Komatik Real Estate Corporation (commercial office leasing plus the Komatik Conference Room and Makik Meeting Room), NDC Fisheries Limited (quota allocation for snow crab, shrimp, Greenland halibut, and northern cod in the 2J area), NunatuKavut Energy, Komatik Training Solutions, and Komatik Support Services Inc.

The company generates revenue through a mix of direct hospitality and real estate operations, fisheries quota allocation and enterprise purchases, energy services, and strategic partnership revenue from alliances with Quadra Group (mining and industrial supply, announced September 4, 2024), Securitas, Aramark, Marshall Industries, and HR Project Partners. A distinct service line, the NunatuKavut Business Centre (operating since 2004), provides NCC-member-exclusive business counselling, entrepreneurial training, and access to funding programs (Consultant Advisory Services up to $6,500, Self-Employment Assistance up to $8,000, NunatuKavut Entrepreneur Training up to $3,500), and administers the NunatuKavut Business Registry certifying Gold, Silver, and Bronze tier Indigenous-owned businesses. All profits are reinvested into NunatuKavut communities. Capital expansion is currently anchored by a federal investment of over $24 million through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program for a 10,000+ square foot net-zero cultural centre in Mary's Harbour, which will house Nunacor and NCC offices, a community meeting room, a NunatuKavut Tourism Visitor Centre, and a renewable energy learning centre.
