North of the community there area doesn’t prohibit them. exploration camps. Mining companies consult with the KIA but they need to talk to the public and get input from the companies. Many Inuit communities rely on wildlife for food. Fuel spills can be very dangerous in calving grounds and hunting areas. o The Commission responded that under the Nunavut Planning and Project Assessment Act and with the NLUP we will be seeing the all the research and activities that will be occurring around the community. You can use the plan to put terms in place to ensure the safety of your wildlife and drinking water supply.

Summary of Community Meetings – Taloyoak, March 20-21, 2014 | 18 Appendix 3: Questions and Answers

During the community workshop, there was a question and answer period, which included a discussion of the following topics:

• North of community in spring calving ground - migration heads back down in fall time with calves. How can we protect that area from mining companies as well as other working groups? o The Commission responded that areas people would like to see protected can be identified during the mapping session that will follow.

• For people of Taloyoak, this will help us out in the future. You help us and we can help you in return. Caribou passing around community. There are helicopters every year. I have a deep concern for this around Taloyoak. Mining companies, oil companies are breaking a lot of rules and our concern is for protection of the land and also marine mammals. Shipping companies will be a concern during winter season. o The Commission responded that these concerns have been heard in other communities as well. During mapping, we will be asking you questions about important areas and you have the ability to recommend terms and conditions. We will prepare a community report and bring it back to verify.

Appendix 4: Community Workshop Scanned Maps

Two groups completed the mapping session to identify important areas. This Appendix contains the maps that were used by participants to identify areas that are important to the following land use planning goals:

• Protecting and Sustaining the Environment

• Encouraging Conservation Planning

• Building Healthier Communities

• Encouraging Sustainable Economic Development

• Mixed Use

Also included on each map is a reference table that includes the specific values that were identified for the area.

Note: The documented comments for Group 1 were not verified with an audio recording.

During the mapping portion of the community workshop, the following concerns were raised that did not apply to a specific area that was identified on the maps:

• The last time land use planning was happening in the community, the caribou sea ice crossing (PSE-R3 (57)) was identified for possible disruption from shipping.

• Climate today is also changing. We are concerned for wildlife, so we need to protect the wildlife.

• Why do we only protect this area, when we are told that caribou come here from the south?

• Up the coast there is a bridge that needs to be fixed for trail to be improved.
