RCMP have charged a former manager of Arctic Bay’s hunters association with defrauding the organization of more than $200,000.

Officers were informed about the alleged crimes in November 2024, RCMP said Friday in a news release. The investigation flagged more than $230,000 in unauthorized transactions between 2022 and 2024.

Amy Barnabas, 39, faces charges for fraud over $5,000, bookkeeping fraud, and criminal breach of trust.

When reached by phone, the Ikajutit Hunters and Trappers Association declined to comment.

Barnabas is scheduled to appear in court in Arctic Bay on Oct. 5.
