Appendix 1: Open House

During the open house, participants raised the following issues:

• There is an important Polar Bear area northeast of Kugaaruk on the coast

• Kugaaruk people are in disagreement with people from Repulse Bay about wildlife harvesting. They come from the Kivalliq to use Polar Bear tags up here but we can't go harvest Narwhal in their area.

• I go between Kugaaruk to visit Gjoa Haven across the bird area on PSE poster.

Appendix 2: Elected Officials Meeting

The elected officials meeting was attended by the Mayor and members of the Hamlet Council and HTO. During the meeting, participants raised the following issues:

• There have been concerns raised by the community about how industry leaves the land after it is done.

• We have been trying to recommend having the area across the bay set as a park. It is the area where we do all of our hunting and fishing. They would only accept the old stone church as being in a park. But we want the area across the bay set up as a park.

• Would like to see a 100 mile buffer around the community.

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:

• All of these places have names. Every time a mining company comes they change the name to southern words.

• Cabin areas to north side of Kugaaruk are for seal hunting. Cabin areas to the south side of Kugaaruk are for fishing and caribou

• Soapstone sites are already marked

• For drinking water we go to Atonitsik Lake

• Two DEW line sites are already done with cleanup.

• All areas where we marked before, it’s all summer & winter where we hunt. Caribou, fish, seals, narwhales, polar bears, ducks.
