Tab 10C Cumberland Sound Turbot IQ
Turbot IQ - NCRI Introduction Traditional knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit in Inuktitut, or IQ) embodies knowledge, skills and practices that are embedded in Inuit culture. IQ encompasses both historical and contemporary information pertaining to coastal and land-based activities, which play a significant role in Inuit culture, quality of life, and the provision of income and food. Conserving this knowledge has importance in its own right and for the preservation of the above associated benefits. To ensure we retain this traditional understanding, coastal resource inventories have been undertaken in communities across Nunavut to record and conserve this valuable traditional, biological, and ecological information. Knowledgeable individuals, usually community elders, are interviewed using a defined survey that addresses the presence, distribution and characteristics of various coastal resources. Resource inventories have been conducted elsewhere in Canada, notably on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where the information gained from this approach provided: the foundation for integrated coastal management plans; essential insights to protect important coastal areas; and information facilitating environmental impact assessments, sensitivity mapping, and community planning. Coastal resource inventories have also provided different levels of government with the tools to engage in strategic assessments, informed development, and enlightened stewardship. The Fisheries and Sealing Division of the Nunavut Department of Environment initiated the development and implementation of the Nunavut Coastal Resource Inventory (NCRI). This project is to serve as an information compendium on coastal resources and activities, gained principally from interviews with elders in each community. Coastal resources are defined as the animals and plants that live near the coast, on the beaches, on and around islands, above and below the surface of the ocean, above and below sea ice, and on the sea floor. -

Nunavut Community-Based Food Programs
Nunavut Community-based Food Programs Current as of May 2016 The Nunavut Food Security Coalition supports community efforts that improve access to food for those who are most vulnerable to hunger. The Coalition acknowledges that long-term changes are required to address the root causes of food insecurity, but that short-term food relief efforts are needed in the meantime. The Coalition believes that efforts to support food relief in Nunavut should reflect the Nunavut context by aligning with the Nunavut Food Security Strategy. The Coalition feels as though external support should be directed to community-based efforts, and is committed to developing resources to facilitate relationship building. In Nunavut, there are many community-based programs that contribute to improving food security. These include prenatal nutrition programs, cooking programs, meal programs, land-based programs, and many others. However, these initiatives vary widely depending on the community (i.e. local priorities) and resources (i.e. staff and funding). The large variety of programming that is offered at the local level isn’t conducive to maintaining an exhaustive and up-to-date list. For the most part, these programs have dedicated resources and don’t often require external support. This resource focuses on food programs that address hunger in the short term, such as food banks and soup kitchens. These programs rely on donations and volunteerism, and often require external support. However, the scope of the programs varies widely depending on capacity and need. Some communities have programs that are well-established, while others have programs that are just getting started. Specific contact information is provided where available, and generic Hamlet contact information is provided otherwise.
