HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, LABRADOR – Nunacor Development Corporation and HR Project Partners Inc.
(HRPP) today announced the signing of a new joint venture agreement that pursues human resources
consultation and recruitment support throughout Labrador.

The joint venture agreement will focus mainly on providing permanent recruitment and temporary labour
supply services for the growing mining sector. This includes securing contracts awarded by the Iron Ore
Company of Canada (IOCC) in Labrador City. Nunacor and HRPP will also look for opportunities to expand
into other businesses and industries across Labrador. Every effort will be made to recommend qualified
NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) members for job openings that become available as part of the joint
venture.

Quotes
“This is an exciting agreement for Nunacor. Businesses in Labrador, especially those in the mining sector, are
experiencing significant labour constraints and we are proud to work with HRPP to become part of the
solution in helping address labour shortages. HRPP has built a solid reputation in this province as leaders in
human resources consulting and recruitment and Nunacor has made great strides in human resources
management, particularly within our own group of companies. This joint venture provides many positive
benefits, from helping to expand our own capacity to hopefully securing meaningful employment for NCC
members.”
— Andy Turnbull, CEO, Nunacor Development Corporation

“I have always valued the importance of building strong business relationships and supporting one another. I
value the support that HRPP can provide to the communities in which we work and giving back and building
those relationships is extremely important to me as a business owner. I look forward to the support that we
can give one another through this partnership and look forward to working together for the benefit of NCC
members throughout Labrador.”
— Jacqui Winter, President , HR Project Partners.
