Baker Lake 2009 Baker Lake, or Qamani’tuuq, is situated inland, at the huge widening at the mouth of the Thelon River, close to the geographic centre of Canada. Baker Lake is well known for its arts and craft community. Distinguished artists and studios promoting arts and crafts, such as the Inuit Heritage Centre, the Jessie Oonark Centre, and well-established independent art galleries are assets to the community’s arts and craft industry. The natural resource industry could also have a significant impact on the economic development of Baker Lake. Further development of the Meawdowbank gold deposit, now at the initial review stages with their environmental impact statement, has already created numerous local hires. If mine proceeds into operation, more jobs will be available at the mine site, approximately 70kms from Baker Lake. From administration to cooking to heavy equipment operation, community council is now proactively looking into training programs to prepare its residents for the assortment of jobs that may be available. For more information about Baker Lake, visit www.bakerlake.org. Getting There: Calm Air operates daily flights from Winnipeg. Please check with the airline for schedule changes.
