Cambridge Bay Town Hall Meeting – July 14, 2025

The Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) would like to thank all Cambridge Bay residents who attended last night’s Town Hall Meeting regarding the recent criminal activity and events in our community. Many of the more than 90 community members in attendance shared their concerns, fears and thoughts with Mayor Wayne Gregory, MLA (and Minister of Justice) Pam Gross and Acting RCMP Superintendent Kent Pike and other RCMP representatives. The KIA appreciates the openness of these officials and urges them to act upon what was shared with them quickly and efficiently to avoid a repeat of similar events and the fear they caused. The KIA is a working member of the Cambridge Bay Inter-Agency Team that will be tasked with developing and implementing some of the measures that are needed to protect Cambridge Bay. The KIA is committed to working towards solutions as part of this Team that not only protect Cambridge Bay from the damage and fear caused by the free flow of narcotics and criminals into this community, but to also develop measures that will protect all Kitikmeot Communities. The KIA encourages patience while proper solutions are being developed and asks that we stick together and support each other as our community heals. Fear and criminal activity have no place in Cambridge Bay and/or the Kitikmeot.
