Geoff Rigby moved to Nunavut at the age of two, and grew up in Iqaluit. After graduating from Inuksuk High School, he moved south to study at Ottawa’s Carleton University, and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies. As Aarluk’s researcher, Geoff provides support and analysis to projects such as the development of training programs, community economic development plans, wildlife management support, data collection and statistical analysis. His personal interest is in the evolution of environmental and socio-economic support programs, two areas he sees as key to the future of the Territory. Twenty years in Nunavut have given Geoff a deep appreciation of the history, culture and environment that define the Territory, and a sense of pride in the work Aarluk is doing to further its sustainable development.
