Meet Richard Evalik, CSP for Cambridge Bay, Nunavut


Richard has been working in the IT industry since 1998 when he started working for Polarnet providing dial up internet services and support to local residents. Today, Richard is the Assistant Manager at Polarnet. He has been providing customers in Cambridge Bay with QINIQ broadband services since early 2005.

Richard was born and raised in Cambridge Bay. He and his wife feel that broadband has brought a lot to the North. They value the ability to utilize VOIP and video technologies to stay in touch when Richard is traveling away from home. Richard is able to stay connected to his kids in a much more personal way, making the journey much easier. He notes that keeping in touch with family around Nunavut is also more affordable and families tend to connect with one another a lot more often.

Richard takes advantage of the internet in his off time, and appreciates the conveniences of online shopping. When items are not available locally, having the option of finding what you need online and comparing prices is so much easier today than it was before broadband became available.
