Canada C3 is a signature initiative for Canada’s 150th Anniversary of Confederation in 2017. The centrepiece is an epic 150-day sailing journey from Toronto to Victoria via the Northwest Passage. Canada C3 will be in Nunavut between approximately July 29, 2017 and approximately September 5, 2017. Canada C3 will connect Canadians from coast to coast to coast and inspire a deeper understanding of our land, our peoples, and the past, present and future of our country. The 150-day ship-based expedition is divided into 15 legs, each leg will be approximately 10 days long. A total of 60 personnel will be on board the ship consisting of approximately 20 crew who will never leave the ship, approximately 25 participants and approximately 15 Canada C3 staff. The participants will represent a cross-section of Canadian society such as scientists, artists, Indigenous Elders, historians, business leaders, youth, newcomers, journalists, celebrities, and teachers who will tell their stories, share their experiences, conduct research, create art and music, and together celebrate Canada.

  • The Sea Ice Is Our Highway
    The Sea Ice is Our Highway An Inuit Perspective on Transportation in the Arctic A Contribution to the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment March 2008 Inuit Circumpolar Council - Canada Acknowledgements: The Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) Canada would like to thank the Canadian Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) for its financial support in the making of this report. ICC Canada wishes also to thank the Inuit hunters who agreed to be interviewed regarding their use of sea ice and other related activities and experiences. ICC Canada also expresses its appreciation to Chester Reimer Consulting Inc. (CRCI) for its assistance in helping prepare this report. Photo Credit, p.1: H. Finkler. Copyright © 2008 Inuit Circumpolar Council – Canada Executive Summary Context: This report from the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) Canada contributes to the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment (AMSA) being conducted by the Arctic Council. It provides the AMSA project with an Inuit perspective on the human dimension of shipping. As a Permanent Participant at the Arctic Council, ICC speaks on behalf of all 155,000 Inuit living in Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Russia. Sources: The report investigates Inuit use of sea ice. It draws upon three sources: Thirty-year old land use and occupancy studies upon which the modern Inuit land claims agreements in Canada were based; Recent interviews with Inuit hunters in Canada; and Additional studies from Alaska and Greenland. Parts of this report are written in the first person with Inuit telling their story. Main Point: This report demonstrates unequivocally that life in the Arctic is dependent on movement, and that sea ice is integral to this movement.

  • The Effect of Anadromous Arctic Charr (Salvelinus Alpinus) on Food Web Structure and Contaminant Concentrations in Coastal Arctic Lakes by Heidi K
    452 • INFONORTH The Effect of Anadromous Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus) on Food Web Structure and Contaminant Concentrations in Coastal Arctic Lakes by Heidi K. Swanson VERY SPRING, anadromous (sea-run) arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) hatch in freshwater lakes in the Ecircumpolar North. In the West Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, the charr spend 3–8 years growing in these lakes before beginning annual migrations to the sea (Johnson, 1989). They feed in the sea for approximately 2–4 weeks before returning to freshwater to spawn or overwinter, or both (Johnson, 1989; Klemetsen et al., 2003). Arctic charr are both culturally and economically significant to North- erners and represented more than 40% of traditional-use species harvested in Nunavut between 1996 and 2001 (Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, 2004). They are also vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic stressors, including climate change and industrial development. Cli- mate-induced changes to migration routes are impacting sea-run arctic charr populations.

  • El Sueno Followed a Shadowy Career As a Freighting and Fur Trading Vessel on the Alaskan Coast and Across the Bering Sea on Siberia Junkets
    Nauticapedia.ca Project Article EL Sueño - The Crack San Francisco Racing Yacht which brought Trade to the Core of the Northwest Passage by George Duddy 2018 El Sueño Leaving Cambridge Bay, September, 1925 - returning from establishing the first trading post on King William Island. The voyage across Queen Maud Gulf was only the second - the first was by Amudsen. (Photo credit: Archives Canada by L.T. Burwash - 67-1925-L.T.B. H.B.C. Schooner El Sueño Peter Norberg) Introduction Yachts launched with great celebration and the breaking of champagne bottles sometimes later fade from memory having, in old age, been sunk or abandoned as derelicts in some backwater or on a lonely beach. The story of the schooner El Sueño is known in the western arctic only through a number of history glimpses. While her complete life, like that for other mysterious ladies may never be completely revealed, a compilation of scraps of her arctic history, with those of other places and times, evidences that she had a very unusual and significant life. Chapter I – Early Days as a Prominent Racing Yacht El Sueño was built for San Francisco yachtsman and prominent Alameda real estate developer Joseph A. Leonard. Constructed at Alameda, California in 1894 as a 44-foot sloop with a gasoline auxiliary engine, Leonard spared no expense in equipping her with the finest, most up- to-date furnishings and equipment. A particularly useful feature was a heavy, retractable metal 1 centerboard that permitted her to operate in very shallow waters. As the most elegant and fastest boat in the Encinal Yacht Club she served as flagship when founder Leonard was commodore.
