Increased economic activity and significant changes due to climatic processes are resulting in increased use, opportunities and threats to the Arctic marine and coastal environments. These predicted changes will require more integrated approaches to address both existing and emerging challenges in the Arctic. The mandate of the PAME Working Group is to address policy and non-emergency pollution prevention and control measures related to the protection of the Arctic marine environment from both land and sea-based activities. These measures include coordinated action programmes and guidelines complementing existing legal arrangements. Members of the Canadian PAME team held meetings from June 10th through 13th in six Canadian Arctic communities: Iqaluit, Pond Inlet, Resolute Bay, Cambridge Bay, Inuvik and Whitehorse. The meetings focused on key PAME activities: the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment (AMSA), and the Arctic Regional Programme of Action. The intent of the meetings was to provide an update on activities and solicit feedback, thereby gaining a better understanding of issues and concerns relevant to Arctic coastal communities. A key objective for the northern tour was to raise awareness about the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment, as well as gather information from Northerners on their marine uses and their perspectives on the possible positive and negative implications of increased shipping activity. Presentations were made relating to the Arctic Council / PAME, the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment, and the PAME Regional Programme of Action. Participants were asked for their perspectives on shipping activity around their community. The following questions were posed: 1) What are your current marine uses /activities? 2) How will reduced sea ice change your use of the marine environment? 3) What are the social impacts (both positive and negative) of shipping for Arctic residents? 4) What are the economic impacts of shipping (positive and negative) of shipping for Arctic residents? 5) What are the environmental impacts of shipping (positive and negative) that concern the Arctic residents? 6) Are there other concerns and impacts (positive and negative) that we need to be aware of? As the meetings were held in an informal fashion, feedback was provided on a range of issues and concerns. This report provides a summary of the Arctic shipping issues and challenges raised by participants at the six community meetings. Sections (2.0-7.0) of this report cover each community meeting. Section 8.0 is a summary of issues, concerns and lessons learned. Sections 9 thru 11 contain a list of tour and meeting participants, copies of the Letter of Invitation and posters used to advertise the Community Meetings. Page 2 PAME/ Arctic Shipping Assessment Canadian Community Meetings 2 Iqaluit, Nunavut, June 10th, 2008 Background The Nunavut Act proclaiming the advent of the new Territory of Nunavut was passed in 1999, and on April 1st, 1999, Nunavut legally joined the Federation of Canada. Iqaluit was designated as the capital. Iqaluit was formally settled following the establishment of an American air force base in 1942. With approval from the Canadian government, an airstrip was to be built, which was to be long enough to handle large aircraft transporting materials from the United States to its European allies. This air base attracted Inuit people from around the southern end of Baffin Island to come to Iqaluit for employment, and consequently, they settled in the area. They began building year-round huts on the beaches of Koojesse Inlet. Trade followed with a Hudson’s Bay Trading Post being established in nearby Apex in 1949 initiating marine shipping to and from the community. The area became known as Frobisher Bay and it was only years later that the town changed its name to Iqaluit. Iqaluit is Nunavut’s main airport and serves as a regional port for supplies to Iqaluit and the region year round. In late summer and early fall, the city is serviced by a number of sealift operators who bring supplies as well as a fuel resupply operation. A few private cruise ships are now observed to visit the community during that same time. Meeting Overview Ten representatives from the Government of Nunavut, non-governmental organizations and the federal government participated in a morning meeting at the Discovery Lodge Hotel. The following is a summary of the discussions: AMSA: Arctic Shipping Issues and Concerns AMSA should identify gaps in the shipping knowledge base. When whales follow ships, the Inuit see this as an “Accidental Benefit” as smart hunters have picked up on the fact that beluga whales follow the noise of the ships into port. The role that ships play in introducing invasive species is a concern. In summer, ships breaking ice is not a concern, but it is in winter as the ship tracks within the ice often ‘strand’ or prohibit hunters from getting to and from their hunting grounds. Ships will change the livelihood of people. While shipping does make life more comfortable, AMSA must show all impacts of increased shipping to understand the long-term effects. The benefits of increased shipping need to be considered. Sometimes docks are built for the mines 50 miles away, yet, that serves no benefit for the community. It is all about perspective. In the past Page 3 PAME/ Arctic Shipping Assessment Canadian Community Meetings mining companies were told, “build your own town and stay away.” (i.e. if you build in our communities you will ‘wreck’ the town.) Now, things are starting to change so that the town benefits from an activity. A conflict remains between ‘keeping the traditional way of life” versus the introduction of modern infrastructure, contact and transportation linkages. Some attendees had concerns that the AMSA baseline year of 2004 would be out of date by the time the report is released due to the rapid increase in shipping activity. Changes in Ice Participants were asked about any concerns relating to the retreating ice and associated changes, Methuseleh Kunuk from the Nunavut Ministry of Economic Development and Transportation made a number of points: o Iqaluit is ice free in the summer so the ice retreat does not affect people in Iqaluit. o Ice in the outer bay will block the “ice free” bay and as a result, there will be more ice/icebergs [i.e. the movement of ice may be a bigger problem than the melting]. o Cape Dorset has problems with ice flowing into the bay. o 40 or so years ago the bay was choked with ice and maybe this will happen again this year? o If the ice melts faster in the spring then the birds will come earlier. Local Boat Travel Travel by boats takes place in the summer, however, increases in fuel costs affects summer travel. It is cheaper to travel in winter as the Inuit use their dog teams. The Inuit in Iqaluit travel extensively by boat and it is getting harder to get where they want to go because fuels costs and maintenance costs are getting higher. Boating is not cheap. It is cheaper to travel in the winter by snowmobile than it is to travel using boats in the summer. The cost of gas has more to do with where hunters go than the ice conditions. In Iqaluit, the belugas follow the noise of the ships into the bay. Hunters know that when the ships come in they should hunt for whales. Rate of ice melting and rate of ice freezing will affect migratory patterns which affects habitat, and how Inuit hunt. Affect of Shipping on Use of Land

Inuit communities in this region rely heavily on subsistence; however, access to traditional food sources may have been compromised due to climate change. Drawing from a total of 25 interviews among Inuit elders and experienced hunters from Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk in Nunavut, Canada, this research examines how climate change is impacting food sovereignty and health. Our results show that reports of food insecurity were more pronounced in Kugluktuk than Cambridge Bay. Participants in Kugluktuk consistently noted declining availability of preferred fish and game species (e.g., caribou, Arctic char), a decline in participation of sharing networks, and overall increased difficulty accessing traditional foods. Respondents in both communities presented a consistent picture of climate change compounding existing socio-economic (e.g., poverty, disconnect between elders and youth) and health stressors affecting multiple aspects of food sovereignty. This article presents a situated understanding of how climate change as well as other sociocultural factors are eroding food sovereignty at the community-scale in the Arctic.

    Nunavut – Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay Government of Nunavut Employment Opportunity Registered Midwives Casual Positions Rankin Inlet is a community on the Western shore of Hudson Bay in the central Arctic. It has a population of 2,800 people. With easy access to both the tundra and the bay, Rankin Inlet provides an excellent opportunity to explore Canada’s unique northern environment. We are host to amazing northern lights, incredible full moon evenings, lots of snow and renowned winter weather. To balance the long winter nights, spring and summer bring almost 24 hours of daylight, migrating birds, caribou and beautiful wildflowers. The Birthing Center has been providing antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care to women from Rankin Inlet since 1993. Women from the surrounding 6 communities can also choose to give birth in Rankin Inlet, and midwives travel to other communities in the Kivalliq region to provide prenatal care. Consultation and transfer takes place with obstetricians at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Cambridge Bay, located on southern Victoria Island, is the regional center for the Kitikmeot communities. Its Inuktitut name means, “fair fishing place.” There is an abundance of wild life near the community, including musk oxen, and several roads providing great access for hiking and camping. Midwifery services began in September 2009 and the Birthing Centre opened February 2010, serving low risk women from around the Kitikmeot region. Midwives do outreach services to all the communities and consultation and transfer takes place with obstetricians at the Stanton Hospital in Yellowknife. Registered Midwives have regular clinic hours and a rotating on-call schedule.

  • Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut
    Community Experiences of Mining in Baker Lake, Nunavut by Kelsey Peterson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Kelsey Peterson, April, 2012 ABSTRACT COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES OF MINING IN BAKER LAKE, NUNAVUT Kelsey Peterson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Ben Bradshaw With recent increases in mineral prices, the Canadian Arctic has experienced a dramatic upswing in mining development. With the development of the Meadowbank gold mine, the nearby Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut is experiencing these changes firsthand. In response to an invitation from the Hamlet of Baker Lake, this research document residents’ experiences with the Meadowbank mine. These experiences are not felt homogeneously across the community; indeed, residents’ experiences with mining have been mixed. Beyond this core finding, the research suggests four further notable insights: employment has provided the opportunity for people to elevate themselves out of welfare/social assistance; education has become more common, but some students are leaving high school to pursue mine work; and local businesses are benefiting from mining contracts, but this is limited to those companies pre-existing the mine. Finally, varied individual experiences are in part generated by an individual’s context including personal context and choices. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of several key people. My advisor, Ben Bradshaw, has been instrumental in all stages of pre- research, research and writing. From accepting me to the program and connecting me to Baker Lake to funding my research and reading innumerable drafts of the written thesis, Professor Bradshaw has been critical to this research project.

  • “The Disease That Knowledge Must Cure”?: Sites of Uncertainty in Arctic Development
    “The Disease that Knowledge Must Cure”?: Sites of Uncertainty in Arctic Development Jessica Metuzals & Myra J. Hird After nearly eight years of formal environmental review, in July 2016, the Canadian federal government rejected the French multinational AREVA’s proposal to construct a uranium mine 80 kilometers west of Qamani’tuaq/Baker Lake, a small inland and mainly Inuit hamlet in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. The decision not to grant a license for resource development based on a technical uncertainty (AREVA was not able to provide a start-date for the mining project due to a depressed uranium market) underlies a far more complex and ongoing negotiation with uncertainty. Sites of uncertainty are spaces — physical, temporal, emotional, material, discursive and so on—that are occupied by a state of not knowing. Based on recent qualitative fieldwork in Baker Lake, this paper will identify key sites of uncertainty where AREVA, government officials, Inuit organizations, and community residents constructed, negotiated, expressed, transformed, experienced, and responded to uranium mining as a resource development controversy. Our analysis reveals how AREVA understood uncertainty as the “disease that knowledge must cure”, that is, the view that uncertainty is something to be reduced through the acquisition of increased expertise (Jasanoff, 2007: 33). This paper will demonstrate how this epistemological approach resulted in claims to certainty that were deeply contested and deconstructed when positioned against the contextual and relational knowledge of local residents. It will conclude by detailing how local residents’ calls for improvements in education can be understood as a strategic intervention, one that is reflective of an intermeshing of Inuit and western epistemologies.

  • Economic Benefits of Hydrography in the Canadian Arctic – a Case Study
    Economic Benefits.of HydrograpHy in.tHe. CanadIan ArCtic – A Case Study. andrew.leyzack,.Canada. abstract. Remote communities in the Canadian Arctic are accessed and re-supplied by air and by sea. The latter mode of transportation presents a more cost-effective solution for re-supply and in recent years, an extended navigation season has seen an increase in both cargo and passenger vessel traffic. Traditionally, communities in the Western Canadian Arctic have been re-supplied by barge and tug however deep draught ocean-going vessels are now starting to compete for service to these same communities. The cost savings realised from deep draft vessel re-supply are significant and modern hydrographic surveys are an enabling factor for deep draft access to Arctic trade routes, for both cargo and passenger liners, especially where under keel clear- ance is a concern. Citing case study, this paper will endeavour to illustrate the eco- nomic benefits of hydrography in the Canadian Arctic, with focus on reducing the costs associated with shipping goods and materials. key.words: Hydrography, Capacity Building, Economic Benefits 1.

This is clearly evident when we compare the cultural information on hydrographic field sheets and charts compiled from the 1960’s through to the 1980’s with what we see upon return- ing to update hydrography some 20 to 40 years later. Within the Kitikmeot Region, of Nunavut Territory, Cambridge Bay is the largest community and serves as the region’s administrative centre. This community has seen a population growth of 12.8% during the 5-year period between the last two census counts.
