The purpose of the project was to identify sources of granular material that could be developed to meet the community’s needs. A community needs analysis was conducted and concluded that Arviat requires more than 2.4 million cubic metres of granular material3 over the next 10 years. Of this total, 70% is unprocessed pit run, and approximately 700,000 m must be processed to meet engineering specifications. The community’s largest need for granular material is for the hamlet expansion, and the most immediate need is for a new reservoir. Prior to the site investigation EBA identified potential sources of aggregate by reviewing existing documentation pertaining to aggregate resources 20 km north and 10 km south of Arviat. EBA visited the site twice – August 1 to 5 and September 26 to 30, 2011. During these site investigations the current aggregate sources were evaluated and potential new sources were examined. Arviat’s current aggregate source is the Airport Esker3 which lies about 2 km south of the hamlet. As of August3 2011 there was approximately 56,000 m of 20 mm minus crush stockpiled, and about 168,000 m of sand with some gravel remaining in the western edge of this esker. Six aggregate prospects were examined during the site investigations. Prospect #1 is 5 km northwest of the community and can be used for short-term need for pit run fill. Prospect #2 is 3 km northwest of the community on the Maguse Road. This prospect containsapproximately30%oversizematerialthatcould be processed to produce surfacing and sub-base aggregate. Prospects #3 and #4 contain gravel and sand that meets gradation requirements for sub-base. However, these prospects are close to water bodies and should be developed cautiously to avoid mobilization of sediment. Either Prospect #5 – Wolf Esker or Prospect #6 – Maguse Esker should be developed to meet the community’s long-term aggregate needs. Maguse Eskerisaccessiblebyroad,isalreadydisturbed,andis more than twice the size of Wolf Esker. A winter or all-weather road must be built to access the aggregate in Wolf Esker. An ice road would cost about $250,000 per year to construct, and an all-weather road would cost about $18,720,000 to build. However, this prospect is only 10 km from the community, so haulage unit costs are less than half of that for Maguse Esker. Based on the preliminary environmental assessment, Prospect #6 –Maguse Esker may represent the granular source with the least environmental risk due to the existing access road, level of human disturbance in the area, and estimated size of the granular source. Further consultation and assessment work would be required prior to proceeding with the development of either of these long-term prospects.

Pickering A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2012 © Sean J. Pickering 2012 Abstract The precontact subsistence-settlement strategy of Taltheilei tradition groups has been interpreted by past researchers as representing a high residential mobility forager system characterized by ephemeral warm season use of the Barrenlands environment, while hunting barrenground caribou. However, the excavation of four semi-subterranean house pits at the Ikirahak site (JjKs-7), in the Southern Kivalliq District of Nunavut, has challenged these assumptions. An analysis of the domestic architecture, as well as the morphological and spatial attributes of the excavated lithic artifacts, has shown that some Taltheilei groups inhabited the Barrenlands environment during the cold season for extended periods of time likely subsisting on stored resources.

  • Spatial and Watercourse Influences on Arctic Charr (Salvelinus Alpinus) Migration in Nunavut
    Spatial and watercourse influences on Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus) migration in Nunavut Sarah Arnold A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science Department of Biological Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright ©2021 by Sarah Arnold ORCID iD: 0000-0002-4653-6981 Abstract Migration is an adaptive mechanism for species to meet life cycle needs in heterogeneous habitats such as the Arctic. The Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a northerly-distributed, partially anadromous fish that is culturally and economically important in Nunavut, Canada. Previous studies have investigated charr migratory choices in specific areas of Nunavut, but our understanding is limited of how these vary across the territory’s freshwater ecosystems. Understanding environmental influences on charr migratory choices can give insight on population reactions to climate change. To assess the drivers behind and differences in Arctic Charr migratory ecotype distribution across Nunavut, I compiled and cleaned three pre-existing sources—the Arctic Fisheries Stock Assessment database (scientific research), the Nunavut Coastal Resource Inventory (mapped Inuit knowledge) and the Nunavut Wildlife Harvest Study (Inuit fishermen harvest records). I used generalized linear mixed models to compare 691 cleaned Inuit knowledge records of anadromous and resident charr populations to river, lake, and geographic variables. I validated these models using 51 independent scientific records and k-fold cross-validation. Inuit knowledge data had more observations across a broader geographic and environmental space. Both models strongly fit the training data, but the resident model was not transferrable to the independent data.

  • Bibliography on the Limnology and Fisheries of Canadian Freshwaters
    BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. N0.2(REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 1982 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.2, published in 1975 as Environm. Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (504). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only, unless otherwise requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.2(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in num~rical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used. Apart from French names, it is usual for the specific name to precede the generic name, as in Elliot Lake, but in a few cases the reverse is true, such as Lake Nipissing, in which case the latter will appear as Nipissing, Lake, with a comma after the-specific name.
