NGC Solutions Inc. (NSI), a subsidiary of the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies, announced today that as of September 30, it will cease its operation of the gas station at Rigolet.
NSI signed an agreement with the Rigolet Inuit Community Government in June, 2019 to operate the gas station until November 30, 2019. The intention was that this would allow RIGC and the Nunatsiavut Government time to find a new operator. When a new operator could not be found before last fall’s deadline, NSI agreed to extend its operation until September 30.
“We always said this would have to be a temporary arrangement for NSI,” says NGC Chief Operating Officer, Sarah Leo. “NSI has undertaken significant financial and environmental liability to be involved in the operation. We understand the importance of the gas station to the community and have shown our good faith by operating the facility for more than a year. We have informed all of the parties involved that we cannot continue. NSI will continue to provide information to assist any future operator.”
