These reports are presented to ensure that an accurate record of the Region's acti­ vities is readily available when needed. Please note that the Research component of the Region (the former Freshwater Institute of the Fish­ eries Research Board of Canada) did not issue any annual reports bet­ ween 1966 and 1970, when it was incorporated into the regular Depart­ ment structure. This new Biennial Report series covers the region's recent history, beginning with the amalgamation of Operations and Re­ search Directorates into a cohesive structure. As in the first two re­ ports, we have chosen fiscal years, April l to March 31, rather than calendar years, as being more closely related to the realities of bud­ gets and planning processes. © Minister of Supply and Services Canada 1982 Cat. no.

  • Anvil Boulders and Lithic Reduction on Southern Victoria Island, Northwest Territories JACK BRINK’
    ARCTIC VOL. 45, NO. 2 (JUNE 1992) P. 138-144 Anvil Boulders and Lithic Reduction on Southern Victoria Island, Northwest Territories JACK BRINK’ (Received II December 1990; accepted in revised form I5 August 1991) ABSTRACT. This paper reports on an unusual archaeological feature discovered at the Cadfael site (NiNg-17) on southeastern Victoria Island. TWO large boulders apparently served as anvil stones on which quartzite cobbleswere fractured. Lithic debris remained in situ on and around the boulders, preserving the materials and spatial arrangements as abandoned by the last flintknappers. Analysis ofone boulder and the associated artifacts demon- strates that a bipolar technology was employed to split cobbles, presumably to obtain large flakes for use as, or for making into, tools. As far as is known, no similar features have been reported in the literature on the Canadian Arctic, although potential candidates exist on Baffin Island and at Great Bear Lake. The age and cultural affiliation of the Cadfael site anvil boulders are undetermined; however an association with the Late Dorset culture, dating to about lo00 years ago, seemsmost likely. Key words: arctic archaeology, lithic technology, Dorsetculture, Victoria Island RÉSUMÉ. Cette communication concerne la d6couverte d’un aménagement archéologique plutôt inhabituel trouvé au site Cadfael (NiNg-17), situé au sud de l’île Victoria. Deux grosses pierres y auraient apparemment servies d’enclumes où l’on aurait cassé des galets de quartzite. Les débris lithiques étaient restés in situ sur et autour des grosses roches, préservant ainsi le materiel et les arrangements spatiaux tels qu’abandonnés par les derniers artisans de la pierre.

Box 377 Kugluktuk, NU X0B 0E0 2Integrated Ecological Research, Nelson, BC NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION KUGLUKTUK, NU Executive Summary Dolphin and Union (DU) Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus x pearyi) have a large distribution covering Victoria Island (Nunavut and Northwest Territory) and the northern region of the Canadian mainland in Nunavut. The DU Caribou calve and summer on Victoria Island, resulting in the sharing of the northwestern extents of their seasonal ranges with Peary Caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi). While Peary Caribou winter on Victoria Island, the DU Caribou generally display migratory behavior by crossing the sea-ice of the Coronation Gulf to winter on the Canadian mainland. Once on the mainland, DU caribou over-winter with other tundra- wintering caribou in the eastern part of their winter range. In addition to this specific movement and seasonal range, the DU Caribou can also be distinguished, with certainty, genetically from other caribou herds (Peary Caribou and Barren-ground Caribou), highlighting the conservation importance of this herd. A coastal survey methodology, originally developed by Nishi (2004), has been used to estimate the DU caribou since 1997 as they physically separate from the Peary caribou in the fall. This methodology is based on hunter observations and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit of Dolphin and Union Caribou gathering during rut into a narrow band on the southern coastline of Victoria Island.

Summary The culturally important Arctic char is the most harvested species of wildlife in Nunavut and is used by Inuit across the territory for both subsistence and commercial purposes. The Cambridge Bay region of the territory is home to the most important commercial fishery for sea run Arctic char, with annual available quotas totaling 68,000 kg. Effective management of this fishery, however, requires a full understanding of the biological independence of these populations and the degree to which they mix, especially when being targeted in the commercial fisheries. Unfortunately, there are many knowledge gaps with respect to these aspects char biology in the region. Given these questions that still remain, in 2016 we aimed to acoustically tag spawning Arctic char in the Cambridge Bay region while also collecting genetic samples in order to better resolve stock structure (independence of populations) and stock mixing in the region. In 2016 we were successful in finding and tagging Arctic char at three discrete

The Project is TMAC Resources Inc.’s (TMAC) prime holding and is its sole focus for exploration, development, and mining. This report to the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) has been prepared to summarize the Project activities and monitoring conducted under TMAC existing Project Certificate No. 003 for the Doris Project. In 2019 commercial operations continued at Doris with continued efforts to progressively ramp up production to increase ore throughput and optimize gold recovery. Civil construction activities included the completion of construction of the Roberts Bay Discharge System (RBDS) and installation of the associated underground mine dewatering and Tailings Impoundment Area (TIA) discharge pipelines and pumping infrastructure. The RBDS facilitates dewatering of the Doris mine and removal of excess water from the TIA to Roberts Bay. The ocean discharge pipeline were successfully installed into Roberts Bay during the open water season. As part of this system, a Water Treatment Plant was constructed to remove Total Suspended Solids from underground mine water at Doris prior to discharge through the RBDS. No discharge occurred to Roberts Bay in 2019.

Fisher, Scientist in Charge Research to establish a basis of information on aquatic productivity of northern Canada was continued from the Unit's temporary quarters at 505 Pine Ave. West, Montreal. Studies on marine mammal stocks on the Atlantic coast were intensified. Much effort is •going into the simple discovery of what aquatic resources, particularly the fishes which are relatively little known, occur in the arctic, and what the present growth rates are. From this work and from practical investigations designed to assist the growing number of arctic fishing and marine mammal hunting projects, a number of areas in which long-term basic studies on various aspects of production are desirable have indicated themselves. A swing to such studies from widespread surveys gradually is occurring and will probably continue. At the same time a degree of flexibility must be maintained in order to deal efficiently with the unexpected short-term demands for information which occur as the gradual opening up of the north continues.
