This division administers Federal and (NCIAC) Territorial funding for community infrastructure projects. The Nunavut Community Infrastructure Advisory Committee (NCIAC) is comprised of representatives from the Nunavut Asso- ciation of Municipalities (NAM), CGS and Community Infrastructure Team the Department of Finance. The commit- tee was formed in April 2005 to assume responsibility for recommending the priori- ty infrastructure investments, determining NAME POSITION PHONE EMAIL long term infrastructure plans and require- Bu Lam Director 975-5462 [email protected] ments for communities.

CGS understands that community infrastructure needs across the territory is far greater than the amount of funding available for infrastructure projects. CGS is mandated to ensure that critical infra- structure gaps are identified, priority projects are brought to the forefront and essential infrastructure is provided for each community. Minister of Community & Government Services, Lorne Kusugak and Mayor of Resolute Bay, Tabitha Mullin, at the ribbon cutting of the Resolute Bay Arena funded under the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (MRIF). 3 Capital Planning Process and Project Approval All potential capital projects are considered objectively and fairly in the GN capital planning process. Infrastructure projects are identified through community consultations. NCIAC then impartially ranks in- frastructure projects using a standard ranking criteria in order to identify projects that are of a high priori- ty and deemed critical. The standard ranking criteria has been developed by NCIAC to provide an unbiased and equitable ap- proach to prioritizing infrastructure identified by communities. The criteria takes into consideration fac- tors such as Health and Safety, Mandated Programs and Services, Economic Benefits and Sustainabil- ity. Projects then move through the CGS Technical Services Division and regional engineers, this helps assess the feasibility of identified projects. The approved project list and supporting technical infor- mation is then sent for Federal funding consideration. The Financial Management Board (FMB) within GN approves infrastructure projects to be funded in all or in part by the GN. The proposed infrastructure projects then go through the legislative process, the Legislative Assembly ultimately have the final say in the GN capital planning process. Capital planning is a dynamic progression that will continuously evolve. It is our hope that working to- gether with municipalities we can plan for sustainable growth to help strengthen Nunavut for future gen- erations. GN Capital Planning Process 4 2013-14 Newsletter Community Infrastructure Department of Community & Government Services Community Planning An important mandate of CGS is not only to ensure communities have essential infrastructure, but also to assure that appropriate plans are in place to allow for future sustainable growth in communities. Plans should identify the infrastructure required over the next twenty years that will help municipalities achieve their environmental, cultural, social and economic objectives. Integrated Community Sustainability Plans In 2008, the Government of Nunavut began an infrastructure consultation process to build Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (ICSPs). The goal in developing the ICSPs was to have a long term planning tool that allows communities to think systemically when planning to implement new infrastruc- ture. Understanding factors of sustainable infrastructure planning such as municipal service require- ments or community access roads will provide a holistic approach for the planning of capital infrastruc- ture projects. ICSPs are community-specific infrastructure profiles that explain the current infrastructure situation in each Nunavut community and identify future infrastructure needs and goals. ICSPs also provide a breakdown of all community infrastructure assets and allow for future infrastructure planning based on individual community goals. ICSPs identify the short, medium and long term infrastructure requirements of each community. Creation of the ICSPs was the first step in taking a proactive planning approach to addressing Nu- navut’s infrastructure issues. The ongoing maintenance of the ICSPs will continue to bring this initiative forward and further develop more comprehensive infrastructure plans for each community. ICSPs will be updated annually and will reflect changes in demographics, economic goals and other community specific realities. ICSPs are a requirement under the Gas Tax Fund, it is not however, a requirement to update the ICSPs annually, ensuring they remain current. The Government of Nunavut has gone a step further in the de- velopment of this resource and is currently developing an online toolkit to house each community ICSP as well as give the authority to update and maintain the ICSPs to the Hamlet administrators. The toolkit is equipped with a number of community specific resources, this will assist with long term planning, and the tool will continue to evolve as the needs of the communities evolve. This integrated approach incorporates resources from all Government of Nunavut departments, providing hamlets with the tools needed to plan long term. Hamlets will have Land Use Plans, community maps, Community Economic Development Plans, Climate Change Adaptation Plans and other resources on hand to re- view when considering the changes their community will undergo when updating their ICSPs. Beginning in summer 2013, the Community Infrastructure division will be facilitating regional roundtables to launch the ICSP toolkit. Key staff from each Hamlet will partake in training sessions to gain in depth knowledge on the functions of the ICSP toolkit, resources, how to update and even export current ICSPs onto individual Hamlet websites. 5 2013-14 Newsletter Community Infrastructure Department of Community & Government Services Federal Funding Gas Tax Fund Initiatives Originally signed in 2005, the Gas Tax Fund (GT) provides financial support The Federal funding for environmentally sustainable infrastructure.

  • Arctic Airports and Aerodromes As Critical Infrastructure
    October 30, 2020 Arctic Airports and Aerodromes as Critical Infrastructure Christina Bouchard, Graduate Fellow and Program Manager: Critical Infrastructure in Canada’s Arctic Territories Key Considerations Many Arctic communities were formed as coastal settlements and continue to rely heavily on air or naval transportation modes. Notably, the territory of Nunavut (NU) includes island communities where air infrastructure plays a critical role in community resupply in the absence of a highway system. It is anticipated that the rapid advancement of climate change will result in permafrost melt, sea ice melt and changing weather patterns. The ground upon which runways, buildings and other infrastructure are constructed will shift and move as the permafrost melts. Capital planning studies have also identified shortfalls with runway lighting systems and power supply, critical for safety where visibility is challenging. Both the extended periods of darkness in the North and the increasing prevalence of severe wind and weather events heighten the need for modern lighting systems. In addition to climate change considerations, the 2020 emergence of the novel COVID-19 virus has also drawn attention to the essential nature of airports in Nunavut for medical flights1. Private companies providing air services, have experienced pressures following the emergence of the virus. The pandemic circumstances of COVID-19 exposed, and brought to question, underlying systemic assumptions about the profitability of providing medically critical air travel services to remote locations. Purpose This policy primer describes the state of existing and planned Arctic aeronautical facilities. The overarching challenge of remoteness faced by many northern communities is discussed to understand the critical nature of air travel infrastructure in remote communities.

  • 2014-15 Supplementary Appropriation Capital No 1
    SSUPPLEMENTARY AAPPROPRIATION ((CCAP ITAL)) NNO.. 11 22001144--1155 2nd Session th 4 Assembly EGISLATIVE SSEMBLY L A OF NUNAVUT MAY 2014 Iqaluit, Nunavut GOVERNMENT OF NUNAVUT 2014-15 SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION (CAPITAL) No. 1 INTRODUCTION Each fiscal year, the Legislative Assembly approves the Capital Estimates document of the Government of Nunavut. The capital requirements for the fiscal year are identified on a project by project basis. During the course of any given year, increases may be required to a department’s spending authority (level of funding). This is accomplished by way of a Supplementary Appropriation. It is presented to the Legislative Assembly, for approval, during regular sittings of the House. The supplementary appropriation document is presented in the following format: Column 1 - 2014-15 Capital Estimates plus previous supplementary approvals and inter-branch transfers. This column shows the original funding levels approved by the Legislative Assembly, plus approved increases/decreases, and inter-branch transfers. Column 2 - Special Warrants In certain situations, the Financial Management Board may recommend a Special Warrant to the Commissioner for advanced spending authority, to allow a department to respond quickly to a new or unforeseen need that meets the criteria of the Financial Administration Act . The criteria used is that the expenditure is urgently required, is in the public interest and the department does not have sufficient funding for the expenditure. When a Special Warrant is approved, the department has access to the funding immediately. Column 3 - Not Previously Authorized This column includes all those additional funding requests approved by the Financial Management Board that were not urgently required but were considered essential to the functional operation of the department.
