1 Introduction
1.1 Guide to the Report This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of a planning process conducted by the Government of Nunavut and the Hamlet of Sanikiluaq from fall 2009 to spring 2010. Volume One of the report is set up as follows: Section 1, the Executive Summary, describes the background and goals of this planning process, and summarizes the key findings set out in these two volumes. Section 3 provides a brief overview of community demographics. Section 4 summarizes the criteria used by this project and by community participants to set sustainability infrastructure priorities. Section 5 presents community infrastructure priorities of the community in tabular format, organized by priority. The table also identifies infrastructure projects eligible for funding under the Gas Tax Fund. Section 6 identifies the community’s existing infrastructure systems, and the main elements that make up each system. It describes the current condition and capacity of such systems and any issues identified in relation to them. Finally, this section identifies infrastructure investment that is already planned as well as recommendations for future infrastructure investment that supports community sustainability goals and is based on community priorities identified during consultations. Volume Two of the report includes; • A list of the documents consulted and people interviewed in the development of this plan; • A list of participants at community meetings; • A fuller profile of Sanikiluaq, including a discussion of demographic and socio- economic conditions, and trends that are likely to influence community infrastructure needs and investments in the future, as well as existing community vision statements and major community goals related to infrastructure. • A comprehensive set of community infrastructure sustainability goals based on document review, interviews, and the community consultation meetings.
1.2 Project Background Between 2005 and 2015 the Government of Nunavut (GN) will receive $97.5 million from the federal Gas Tax Fund to support environmentally sustainable municipal infrastructure projects that help ensure cleaner air, cleaner water and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Those funds will be managed by the Nunavut Community Infrastructure Advisory Committee (NCIAC), which includes representatives from the
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 8
Department of Community and Government Services (CGS); Nunavut Association of Municipalities (NAM); Department of Finance; and other GN departments, when needed. This Committee was mandated to work with Nunavut communities to define their long- term infrastructure requirements and priorities, and to help link those needs to a framework of integrated community sustainability planning. To achieve this, the Committee began a planning process, working with 24 communities in Nunavut1 to develop community-specific plans identifying infrastructure investments that would meet the basic, current needs of individuals, families and the community as a whole, without imposing a burden on future generations. The planning process focused specifically on infrastructure - primarily network infrastructure like roads, bridges, water and wastewater systems), buildings, and equipment. While many infrastructure projects in the past have focused on immediate needs, this planning process encouraged communities to take a longer term view, looking ahead for five or more years into the future. In the summer of 2009, GN and the NCIAC developed a detailed consultation plan, data collection tools, and research schedule. They also prepared a set of draft sustainability goals to begin discussions at the community level. Preparation for the Sanikiluaq ICISP began in the fall of 2009. Background information was collected, analyzed, and organized into a detailed community profile (see Volume 2, Section 5). A community consultation meeting was held in Sanikiluaq on November 5, 2009. Initial findings from the research were presented to a group of community representatives, who used that background information to help determine what sustainability means to the community, what the sustainability goals of Sanikiluaq are, and what infrastructure investments could help achieve those goals in the next five to twenty years. The results of this meeting were then presented at an open community meeting for further input. Input from the research and community meetings was analyzed into a draft ICISP, which was then submitted to CGS for review. The draft ICISP was finalized, translated, and provided to the Hamlet Council. The ICISP was then revised to reflect their input, and was submitted to CGS as a final report on this community's planning process.
1 Iqaluit was not included in this process.

2 Conditions Influencing Sustainable Infrastructure Needs and Priorities
The geography and climate of Nunavut contribute to the high cost of acquiring materials and services, and building and maintaining community infrastructure. Buildings, facilities, equipment and vehicles depreciate very quickly as a result of the harsh climate, conditions of use (e.g. local road conditions), poor storage conditions and inferior maintenance (e.g. lack of proper staff training and certification). Nunavut’s population is young and growing. This growth will put pressure on already overburdened infrastructure, including in areas such as housing, water, sewage and solid waste, and infrastructure systems in the public safety, education, health care and recreational sectors. The traditional economy is an important component of life, well-being and sustainability. It contributes in-kind income, provides country food and traditional medicines, and incorporates commercial activity like soapstone carving, arts and crafts. Sustainable community infrastructure must support existing economic activity, stimulate economic diversification, and enable greater participation in mainstream and traditional economic activities. Social conditions are similar in most Nunavut communities. The number and condition of housing units is inadequate, a problem exacerbated by the lack of serviceable lots, the poor condition of heavy equipment in the community, and lack of capacity to build access roads to new lots. Overcrowding and poor housing conditions contribute to high rates of infant mortality, respiratory illness and violence. Social conditions and trends suggest both a short-term and ongoing need for investment in community education, housing, health and recreation and related infrastructure systems. While Inuit culture and language remain strong, these are increasingly under threat from southern cultural influences via modern communications technologies, reduced reliance on traditional foods and economic pursuits, the continued loss of Elders and traditional language speakers, and a growing disconnection between Elders and youth. The protection and promotion of Inuit culture, language and heritage can be achieved through investment in infrastructure systems that support the traditional economy, recreational infrastructure and facilities that bring community members together to share and transmit culture, language and heritage.

2.1 Existing vision statements and major community goals that relate to the ICISP There are no vision statements or major community goals stated in Sanikiluaq’s Community Economic Development Plan or other plans. However, community consultations to support the development of the ICISP confirm the community’s interest in economic diversification and business development through the mainstream and traditional economy. As it concerns the mainstream economy, this suggests the need for enhanced investment in communications and transportation infrastructure systems (air, marine, roads) as well as commercial facilities. For the traditional economy it suggests more investment in marine infrastructure and infrastructure that supports primary resource production (e.g. boats, freezers and processing facilities) as well as facilities that provide space for the production of traditional arts and crafts, and the teaching and transfer of knowledge and skills inter-generationally. There is also a demonstrated desire within Sanikiluaq to improve and enhance individual and community social well-being through:
• Health care and wellness facilities, programs and services; • Greater opportunities to engage youth in productive activities including recreational and cultural programs; • Public housing that is adequate in supply and socially appropriate in terms of design and the allocation of units to singles, families and elders; and • Education and training.
2.2 Issues that could impede Sustainability Consultations for the ICISP in Sanikiluaq identified community concerns in the following areas that were perceived as potential obstructions to achieving sustainability:
• Availability of funding to meet infrastructure needs of the community; • Political and bureaucratic influence on allocations of infrastructure funding; • Failure to plan timing and capital of all infrastructure development and supporting infrastructure (e.g. building a new school but not providing staff housing units for additional teachers); and, • Capacity building (education and training) of local workforce to maintain new buildings and systems.

3 Community Sustainability Goals and Priorities
As part of the Sanikiluaq planning workshop, community participants reviewed eight general sustainability goals developed to help guide the preparation of ICISPs. These propose that sustainable community infrastructure should: 1. Meet basic human needs. 2. Achieve a sustainable economy and self-reliance. 3. Ensure equitable access for all residents and financial sustainability. 4. Promote individual and community health and well-being. 5. Use resources efficiently. 6. Reduce waste and hazardous waste. 7. Protect and promote Inuit culture, heritage and language. 8. Protect the environment and eco-systems. In discussing these goals, Sanikiluaq participants noted that sustainability is a traditional concept, still highly relevant today and for the future. Sustainability will be a consideration in all future community structures, programs and services. Building on the eight original infrastructure sustainability goals, participants developed other goals to define the community’s approach to sustainable infrastructure planning and decision making. For Sanikiluaq, sustainable infrastructure: 1. Is organized around the traditional concept of “eat, work, play”; the essence of human life and activity in balance. 2. Brings Elders and youth together. 3. Reduces barriers to growth and development in the community and increases community capacity through education, training and business development. It was further noted that Sanikiluaq’s infrastructure investment decisions should be guided by and reflect principles embodied in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ). Decisions on sustainable infrastructure priorities and investments impact on each of the areas of sustainability, and may concurrently support achievement of one or more community sustainability goals. For example, investment in recreational facilities may contribute to both social and cultural sustainability, while investment in infrastructure to support the traditional economy can help achieve economic sustainability, as well as protection and promotion of Inuit culture, language and heritage, and community goals to bring elders and youth together.

4 Community Profile
4.1 Location and History
Sanikiluaq is the southernmost community in Nunavut located at N56° and W79°. It is located in the Belcher Islands in the south-eastern part of Hudson Bay, about 150 kilometres off the coast of Quebec, and 1,200 kilometres north of Ottawa. The community is accessible by air, with regular flights from Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kuujjuarapik, Quebec.
Map 1 – Community of Sanikiluaq
The community was established in 1971, when the federal government centralized services and moved the buildings and inhabitants of what was then known as ‘South Camp’ to a location known as ‘North Camp’. Today, Sanikiluaq is a growing, modern settlement with an economy based on subsistence hunting, fishing, and soapstone carving.
4.2 Demographics
The 2006 Census reported the total population of Sanikiluaq to be 744, of which approximately 48% were female and 52% male. The community’s population grew 8.4% between 1996 and 2001, and 8.8% between 2001 and 2006, demonstrating a consistent but moderately high rate of growth. This rate of growth was however slightly lower than the territorial average of 10.2% in the same time period. Based on these rates of growth, the estimated population of Sanikiluaq in 2020 is 1,108.

4.3 Economy
Government remains the largest employer in Sanikiluaq, with residents employed by the Hamlet of Sanikiluaq and the Government of Nunavut and in various departments (health and social services, education). Other employment is provided in the services sector, goods-producing industries, and in retail and wholesale trade. The traditional economy is an important component of life, wellbeing and sustainability in Sanikiluaq, supporting many households by contributing in-kind income, and providing families with country foods that have not only nutritional but also cultural value. Many residents continue to hunt, fish and trap, and gather traditional foods and medicines. In 2006, 80% of the population over 15 reported they participated in hunting activities in the previous 12 months. The traditional economy remains strong and includes not only land-based pursuits but also soapstone carving and sewing of eiderdown parkas.

4.6 Summary
In view of the demographic and socio-economic conditions in Sanikiluaq reported above, it can be anticipated that changes in the population, including overall growth and the aging of a currently large youth cohort, will continue to influence the demand for community infrastructure in key sectors. In the short and medium term, education and recreation infrastructure and essential infrastructure systems such as housing, water and waste will have increased demands placed upon them. In the medium term the need for robust infrastructure systems that support the economy and provide opportunities for economic diversification and stability will gain prominence. During the next twenty years other infrastructure systems, including health services and facilities, public safety and security systems, and infrastructure that supports heritage, culture and arts will remain critically important to Sanikiluaq as a sustainable community.

• Serious issues with space for storage and maintenance of vehicles were identified. • All existing garages (parking and working) are in poor condition, inefficient in energy use, and in need of major renovation. Electrical panels are failing; can’t turn out lights in one building (inefficient resource use), there are large gaps which let in cold air and snow.
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 21
• There is no place to park the dump truck, and in the 3 Bay Parking Garage (in very poor condition) the following vehicles are parked: sewage truck, water truck, garbage truck, 2 dozers and a loader. • Currently there is no space to store the dump truck. • In 2009, a new 2 Bay parking garage was commissioned. This will be used to store water trucks. This was identified as an NCIAC priority in 2008. • 2 Bay Maintenance Garage (1995) presently used for both maintenance and storage of vehicles.

• Municipal Heavy Equipment – need new dump truck, grader and loader • Remote Diagnostic Services for Equipment Repair – A lot of the old equipment is so old that it’s hard to find parts, and the new equipment is too complex to be fixed locally. System needed in the community that allows vehicles to be hooked up to a diagnostic terminal, and authorized mechanics in the south can pinpoint problems. The local mechanic could then fix simple repairs, while the Hamlet could maximize cost savings by flying a southern mechanic up only when major repairs are needed, and bring necessary parts into the community for the repairs (or to fix multiple vehicles at one time). Need to invest in cost saving technology for the Hamlet.

• Qulliq Energy Corporation supplies diesel driven electricity. Power service is subsidized and fees vary depending on residence, consumption, and household (anywhere from approximately $50 to $150 per month). • Housing fuel is delivered by truck. A new fuel delivery truck is required. • Newer power system was built following a fire at the power plant in 2001. Consultants were in the community in September 2009 to look at generator but did not identify any major issues with existing system. • Community believes it is necessary to relocate the tank farm because it is in proximity to a residential area and therefore is perceived to represent a public safety issue. Issue was reviewed with the Minister during a community visit in July, 2009 and it was determined that moving tanks would impose a very significant cost.

• Community Freezer – would help to preserve country foods. HTO could operate and manage this facility. Would contribute to community health and wellbeing through poverty reduction and in-kind income. This is a high priority infrastructure investment. Funding is required for repair and operations. (short term) • Community Boat – boat would require some repairs and ongoing funding. Originally intended to supply country food to the community. (medium term) • Repair shop – hunters etc. require access to repair facilities (e.g. welding facilities) in order to repair minor equipment, and operational funding required in conjunction with this. (long term). • More access roads to traditional land use areas. • These investments have significant potential to address poverty in the community by supplying country food. Community is concerned that social problems will arise from doing nothing.

• Community roads and road maintenance is a significant problem as the community lacks both a crusher to produce road-grade gravel and the necessary, functioning equipment to properly maintain. The community applies unscreened rock taken directly from a site near the airport. In summer roads are in particularly poor condition and many require major repair. Dust control is a problem in summer and it is reported that the dust poses health risks (hard to breathe).
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 34
• The community purchased a new bulldozer in 2009. • The CAT loaders (1977 and 1988) are in poor condition and have very high maintenance costs. They are both in need of replacement. The CAT Loader (2002) frequently breaks down. Similarly, the backhoe is subject to frequent breakdown and requires maintenance. • Dump truck is aging and will need replacement in the next few years. One dump truck may not be sufficient to maintain existing roads and create new ones (e.g. to new residential areas). • At least one new loader will be required in another year or so. • All vehicles depreciate quickly as a result of the harsh climate, conditions of use (e.g. roads), conditions of storage (poor, inadequate) and because the maintenance program and mechanics are weak. Also, truck drivers are not properly trained or certified. In Sanikiluaq the normal life of all vehicles, including trucks and heavy equipment is 5-7 years. After 7 years maintenance becomes very costly due to conditions, costs to purchase parts etc.

Some consideration is being given to using the new school facility for future community events. • The arena is in fair condition but needs minor repairs and a concrete floor as well as a heating system. • Community hall needs major repairs to heating system, washrooms, capacity, doors and entrance area. • New components needed for arena: concrete floor, Zamboni, and overhead doors. • New components needed for community hall: recreation equipment for activities, communication system, expansion of capacity. • Other priorities: swimming pool, outdoor playgrounds. • Swimming pool is seen as a necessity because many people in the community do not know how to swim and yet are in proximity of water while on the land or when kids are playing. Also, the water quality of the lake near the community where the kids swim is dangerous to human health. • Replacement of Community Hall to increase capacity is identified as a high, short term priority by the community.

• In 2008, there were a total of 127 units, of which 56 (44%) were constructed pre-1990. • Condition ratings in above table are considered somewhat high and estimated to be on anywhere from 100 (for a recently renovated house) to 60. There is not much stock considered to be rated less than 60. • Housing is considered to be in short supply and demand far exceeds available supply. However, attempts are being made to address housing issues in Sanikiluaq.
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 59
• Consultations reported that current stock is poor but still used; pipes freeze in the winter and there is overcrowding. • Government-owned houses are in relatively good condition and are maintained by the Qammag Housing Association. • Housing office is located in the old Community Hall (1960s) which is owned by the Hamlet. The Qammaq Housing Association is currently attempting to purchase this building from the Hamlet.

• No priorities were identified by Council for NCIAC in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
5.21.5 Infrastructure Priorities Identified in Community Consultations
• Community continues to have a waiting list of 15-20 families. However, the list continues to grow even as new units are built: demand continues to exceed supply. • 3 bedroom single family units (@1,000 sq.ft. are the preferred housing unit. • A challenge in Sanikiluaq to housing development is that there are no serviceable lots available, and the development of lots is hampered by the state of equipment in the community (i.e. can’t build access roads).
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 60
• Housing commitments beyond 2010/11 are unknown at present. NHC is awaiting the results of the housing needs survey before identifying further commitments. • MFUs are more cost effective than SFUs but generally create social problems, especially when Elders are mixed with younger families. Because of the waiting list it is difficult to control the allocation of units (i.e. when it is someone’s turn to receive a unit they generally will not wait until one in an appropriate MFU comes up (e.g. one with all Elders). The allocation policy has also created inefficiencies when SFUs (2-3 bedroom) are allocated to single people. • Some desire to make housing units more accessible to Elders. The cost of making each unit wheelchair accessible is about $15,000.

• Water system comprised of three components – source lake, a 150m intake pipe with a small heating device, and a small treatment plant/truck fill station. • The lake presently provides an adequate source of water supply to the community, and there are no problems extracting in winter. • Water quality is good, with no evidence of adverse chemical qualities. More testing for chemical parameters will be completed in the future. Despite this report many community members will not drink the water and indicate it is unsafe.
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 64
• Water distribution system is problematic. The treatment plant/fill station is the oldest truck fill station in Nunavut. It uses a chlorinator and chlorine to disinfect water. The building has lost part of its outside skin and the interior is improperly heated with a large ice build up in winter in the interior. • The fill pipe is inadequately supported and there are problems with the foundation (i.e. not level, tilted towards the front) • Equipment does not meet fire criterion of 1000L/min • The heat trace at Pump shaft #2 is not working, pump is reported as not working and the discharge valve will not open. As a result there is only one pump in service and no back up for the coming winter season. • Water intake lines are in good condition and appropriately supported by a gravel ramp • Water delivery system is considered overburdened (high demand, trucks break down). To alleviate this suggestions have been made to connect the school directly to the main water supply. However, there are some community concerns that this will result in job losses in water delivery. • A backup generator is presently maintained at the water truck fill station as a standby power supply unit and this system was recently connected to the main power line. • The truck fill station will be replaced in 2010, but materials were not delivered on the barge. The Minister of CGS has provided a written commitment that the truck fill station will be replaced in 2010. • Water truck is considered an essential vehicle, but is aging. Water truck is in poor condition and in need of replacement. Hamlet would like to have two operational water trucks. • Water quality testing is done right at the truck fill station and a log book is maintained there. The Hamlet will be assuming responsibility for water testing from CGS in 2010.
5.23.3 Infrastructure Planned Investment (Resources Have Been Committed)
• $1.4 million has been committed through Building Canada Fund to replace the treatment plant/truck fill station in 2010.

5.23.5 Infrastructure Priorities Identified in Community Consultations
• New fence around lake area to promote public safety (very dangerous at freeze up, children have drowned). • Engineer’s report recommended replacement of water facility - rehabilitation of truck fill station not be pursued due to age and condition; also recommended remedial works to help ensure operation until new truck fill station can be constructed, with retention of existing intake pipes. • Remediation would involve repairs to building (i.e. shell, add fill under concrete slab and grade away from building, stabilize the protect fill arm support) and equipment (i.e. replace pump, heat trace and valve). Materials are specified and are being ordered. • Proposed improvements include replace building (with standby power), increase pumping capacity for fires, filter water prior to disinfection, disinfection using chlorine and simple control system. • Modifications proposed for 2010.

• Sewage lagoon is a natural system, not an engineered facility. • Sewage is trucked from individual houses to lagoon. • In summer effluent flows through gravity system to wetlands. • Capacity is a problem and the quality of effluent currently is not meeting NWB standards for certain biochemical and other parameters. • Lagoon is very old but has to be maintained until new facility can be built.
Aarluk Consulting Inc. Sanikiluaq Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 2 – May 26, 2011 67
• Consultations reported that the sewage lagoon is problematic – its location is wrong and the flow of effluent is to the wrong location i.e. harbour; the harbour is contaminated and is therefore unsuitable for fishing (contaminated local food source).
