Jennifer Galloway and Tim Patterson research project - Geoscience Tools for Supporting Environmental Risk Assessment of Metal Mining Bay Chimo Umingmaktok Dear Proposal Reviewer: ᐅᒥᖕᒪᒃᑑᖅ The mandate of the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) is “to represent the interests of Kitikmeot Inuit by protecting and promoting our social, cultural, political, environmental and economic well- Cambridge Bay being.” As such, the KIA promotes sustainable development benefiting our people, our region, and our territory. Currently, however, regional geochemical baseline data is very limited in the Ikaluktutiak Arctic, and this restricts the ability to develop the most appropriate monitoring guidelines and ᐃᖃᓗᒃᑑᑦᑎᐊᖅ remediation targets for land development. The KIA supports the proposal submitted by Drs. Jennifer Galloway and Tim Patterson for several Gjoa Haven reasons. Firstly, the proposal addresses critical knowledge gaps regarding climate change and Okhoktok baseline geochemistry in the Slave Geological Province. Secondly, once understood, these gaps have the potential to facilitate the translation of new data and the development of geoscience ᐅᖅᓱᖅᑑᖅ tools to inform and support decision-makers. We are particularly pleased that the proposed research is planned in the vicinity of the Hope Bay project as this will help establish pre- development geochemical baseline for this region of high resource potential. Taloyoak ᑕᓗᕐᔪᐊᕐᒃ The KIA is pleased that the team includes federal, territorial, community, industry, academic, First Nations, and Inuit collaborators. The proposed research has the potential to bridge the gap between Canadian decision-makers who need to know how resource development and climate change will impact Northern environments. The integration of traditional knowledge and scientific Kugaaruk methods in this proposal will promote mutual appreciation for different ways of interpreting ᑰᒑᕐᔪᒃ environmental change. We are pleased that this proposal will provide training and employment opportunities to local people and will include regular community workshops. In closing, the KIA supports the proposed research project as this project has the potential to serve the interests of Kitikmeot Inuit. Sincerely, Geoffrey Clark, M.Sc., MBA Kitikmeot Inuit Association Director of Lands, Environment, and Resources Affiliates: Nunavut Tungavik Inc., Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, Kitikmeot Corporation .

  • Submission to The
    SUBMISSION TO THE NUNAVUT WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR Information: Decision: X Issue: Bathurst Inlet Emerging Char Fishery Application Background: The Burnside Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) have requested exploratory licences for Burnside Bay (also known as Swan Lake), Huikitak River, and Burnside River within the Bathurst Inlet area. The HTO has been working closely with Boyd Warner of Bathurst Inlet Lodge Ltd. for the logistical planning associated with the development of these fisheries. Both parties have previously held exploratory licences for the three waterbodies of interest (Table 1). According to the applications and previous correspondence with the applicants there is currently very little subsistence fishing that takes place at the waterbodies of interest. However, past information has indicated that Arctic Char in the Hiukitak River were previously harvested by both Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok residents. Previous correspondence with the applicants has also indicated that they are not looking at a “huge scale operation” and that “likely 10,000 lbs [4536 kg] would make things feasible.” Table 1- Burnside Bay, Huikitak River, and Burnside River Licencing History. Maximum Previous Years Licences Were Waterbody Coordinates Exploratory Previously Issued Harvest Level (kg) Burnside Bay/Swan 66°47’N 2000 1989/90-1991/92, Lake (CB 177) 108°10’W 1993/94, 2003/04 Hiukitak River (CB163) 67°08’N 2000 1988/89, 1989/90, 107°10’W 2003/04 Burnside River 66°50’N 2000 1984/85, 1985/86, (CB158) 108°10’W 1988/89-1990/91, 2003/04 Burnside Bay/Swan Lake (66°47’N 108°10’W); Hiukitak River (67°08’N 107°10’W); & Burnside River (66°50’N 108°10’W): Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) - Science advice remains unchanged from 2003/04 for these waterbodies.

  • Data Summary and Analysis of the Wolverine Harvest from Kugluktuk, Umingmaktok and Bathurst Inlet, Northwest Territories 1985/86-1996/97
    Database Description, Data Summary and Analysis of the Wolverine Harvest from Kugluktuk, Umingmaktok and Bathurst Inlet, Northwest Territories 1985/86-1996/97 John Lee Environment and Natural Resources, Service Contract 335448 2016 Manuscript Report No. 253 The contents of this report are the sole responsibility of the author. ii ABSTRACT This report describes the data standards and data format for harvest information collected from a wolverine harvest in the Central Arctic from 1985-1997. It comments on the intention behind variables selected and provides a brief summary and analysis of some of the data collected. The harvest ranged from the west shore of Great Bear Lake to the east end of Kent peninsula, and to the south end of Contwoyto Lake. Over the eleven years covered by the collection, 822 wolverines were recorded harvested. Eighty-one percent were hunted, while just 18% were trapped. Sex ratio (M:F) of the overall harvest was 1.87, while the sex ration of the trapped animals was close to 1:1. Younger animals made up a significant part of the harvest with the average age of males and females 1.5 and 1.7 years respectively. The maximum age recorded was an 11 year old female. Counts of corpora lutea from adult females resulted in an in vivo litter size of 3.46. Some options for indexing harvest intensities are considered. iii Table of Contents ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... iii LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................................
