KCFI NEWS AND SUCCESS STORIES
November 24, 2022 — KCFI Introduces New Executive Director
Earlier this month, KCFI said goodbye to the only Executive Director it has known, Marg Epp. Marg was with KCFI from day one back in December 2006 and built it from scratch. Now, with KCFI running smoothly, Marg decided to transition out on her own. KCFI’s Board and staff would like to thank Marg for her tireless work over the past 16 years and wish her all the best in her new endeavor!
The Executive Director keys have now been handed off to Shaun Horner, who comes to KCFI with eight years of experience in the Government of Nunavut with the Departments of Finance and Family Services. He has lived in the Kitikmeot Region for the past four years where he resides with his spouse and two children. He is currently a Smith School of Business MBA candidate. Welcome aboard, Shaun!
