  • Appendix D: Nunatsiavut Regional Impact Assessment
    Nunatsiavut Regional Impact Document ITK National Position Document on Canada-Wide Strategy for Management of Municipal Wastewater Effluent Draft January 29, 2008 Sikumiut Sikumiut Environmental Avatilgijingita Management Ltd. Kamajingit 1.0 Introduction and Overview Sikumiut Environmental Management Ltd. (Sikumiut) was retained by ITK to coordinate a review by the Nunatsiavut communities of the proposed Regulatory Framework for Wastewater Treatment. In compiling this response, information was collected through contact with the five Labrador Inuit communities which comprise Nunatsiavut, the portion of Labrador which was the subject of a recently settled Land Claims Agreement. Other sources of information included the Community Accounts website as well as the Municipal Plans for each community. The communities comprising Nunatsiavut (Figure 1) are all located on the North Coast of Labrador adjacent to salt water. There are no road connections. Each community is accessible by air, with twin otter aircraft providing regular service from Happy Valley- Goose Bay to gravel airstrips adjacent to each community. During open water season (July - October) a marine coastal service provides less expensive transport of passengers and goods. Snowmobile trails connect Rigolet, Makkovik and Postville with Upper Lake Melville and the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The total population of the North Coast is approximately 2 500, ranging between approximately 200 (Rigolet and Postville) and 1,000 (Nain). The communities are dominantly (90 – 95%) Inuit. The economies of the communities are based on renewable resources generally (fishing, hunting, wood harvesting) however mining and quarrying have become important contributors in recent years. Tourism is at a modest level, but is expected to grow, especially for Nain with respect to the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve.

  • Labrador Mining and Power: How Much and Where From?
    Labrador mining and power: how much and where from? Department of Natural Resources November 2012 Key Factors • $10-15 billion of investment in Labrador mining projects may be realized over the next decade but this is dependent in part on the availability and cost of power. • If these projects proceed they will bring major economic benefits to the province, through employment and taxation revenue (both direct and indirect), as well as provide opportunities for service industries. • Estimation of future power needs for planned mining developments is challenging, particularly as many projects have not advanced to the stage where firm requests for power have been made. • Based on projects already in construction or near sanction, existing generating capacity in Labrador may be exhausted by 2015-17. • Muskrat Falls could be an important source of power for mining developments post-2017, and sanctioning of the project may assist mining companies in making positive investment decisions. Availability of power will encourage investment in the province rather than in competing jurisdictions. • Muskrat Falls could provide power for future mining developments (or export markets if mining developments are slow to proceed) as well as providing sufficient power for the Island of Newfoundland. The Isolated Island option, with refurbishment or replacement of the Holyrood Generating Station or any other isolated alternative, will not supply the power needed for Labrador mining developments. • In the longer term, mining developments may absorb all residual power from the Muskrat Falls development. Further power may be needed. LABRADOR MINING AND POWER: HOW MUCH AND WHERE FROM? 1 Introduction The provincial minerals sector in 2012 is forecast to operate at record levels, with mineral shipments and mineral industry employment at all-time highs.

Caribou has been an essential species for Inuit for millennia, providing food, clothing, significant cultural practices, and knowledge-sharing. Current declines in many caribou populations—often coupled with hunting moratoriums—have significant impacts on Inuit food, culture, livelihoods, and well-being. Following an Inuit-led approach, this study characterized Inuit-caribou relationships; explored Inuit perspectives on how caribou have been managed; and identified opportunities for sustaining the Mealy Mountain Caribou.
