  • Page 1 of 30 June 02, 2021 Cambridge Bay New Power Plant Project Nunavut Planning Commission ______Is Not a Viable Option
    Cambridge Bay New Power Plant Project Nunavut Planning Commission ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Project Introduction Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is proposing to construct and operate a new power plant in the Hamlet of Cambridge Bay located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut (the Project). This will be a multi-year Project that will include the installation of a 90,000-liter capacity horizontal fuel tank and two 2 million-liter capacity vertical fuel tanks and the new power plant will use more fuel-efficient engines. The plant will generate less noise and exhaust gases, due to the availability of equipment like industrial scrubbers and hospital grade silencers which will substantially reduce sound and air pollution. The new plant will have a life cycle of over 40 years and will be capable of integrating renewable energy sources. Proponent Information Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is a Government of Nunavut (GN) territorial corporation. Through the operation of 25 stand-alone diesel power plants with a total installed capacity of approximately 76,000 kilowatts, QEC is the sole provider of electricity to approximately 15,000 customers in the territory. QEC provides mechanical, electrical, and line maintenance services from three regional centers: Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. QECs administrative activities are carried out at the Head Office in Baker Lake and the Corporate Office in Iqaluit. QEC is committed to planning and developing cost effective and efficient ways to provide a safe, reliable and stable energy supply for all Nunavummiut. Project Background Cambridge Bay is a community with increasing demand for electricity, reflecting its growing population and increasing government and commercial enterprise.

  • Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the Impact of Small, Canadian Arctic River Flows to the Freshwater Budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B
    Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic River flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B. Alkire, University of Washington Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic river flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago (or SCARFs) is a scientific research project funded by the National Science Foundation (USA). The purpose of this project is to collect water samples from seven different rivers and their adjoining estuaries throughout the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (see Fig. 1) in order to determine whether or not their chemical signatures differ from larger North American rivers such as the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers. Five of the rivers are located within Nunavut, Canada: the Coppermine River (near Kugluktuk), Ellice River (~140 km southeast of Cambridge Bay), Back River (~180 km southeast of Gjoa Haven), Cunningham River (~77 km southeast of Resolute Bay on Somerset Island), and Kangiqtugaapik River (near Clyde River, Baffin Island). Two of the rivers are located within the Northwest Territories, Canada: the Kujjuua River (located approximately 67 km northeast of Ulukhaktok on Victoria Island) and Thomsen River (specifically near the mouth of the river where it empties into Castel Bay, on Banks Island). Figure 1. Map of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The red stars indicate the mouths of the rivers sampled during this study: (1) Coppermine R., (2) Ellice R., (3) Back R., (4) Kuujuua R. (Victoria Island), (5) Thomsen R. (Banks Island), (6) Cunningham R. (Somerset Island), and (7) Clyde R. (Baffin Island). The Coppermine, Ellice, and Back Rivers are located on the mainland of Nunavut.

Rankin Inlet Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plan Vol. 1 – September 28, 2010 3 Acknowledgements Through the fall of 2009 and winter of 2010, twenty-three Nunavut communities prepared Integrated Community Infrastructure Sustainability Plans (ICISPs). ICISPs will help communities identify and achieve goals for environmental, cultural, social and economic sustainability. The result of the process will be an infrastructure plan for each community that is long- term, reflects community goals and priorities, meets the needs and interests of all residents and groups, and is based on sustainability principles and goals. In the short- term, these plans will provide a useful and practical framework for identifying and justifying future infrastructure projects. More broadly, these plans represent a first step in the broader process of creating a long-term, comprehensive sustainability plan for each Nunavut community. The development of the ICISPs was coordinated by the Nunavut Community Infrastructure Advisory Committee (NCIAC) and the Government of Nunavut’s Department of Community and Government Services (CGS). Funding for the development of the ICISPs was provided under the Gas Tax Fund (GTF) of the Government of Canada.

    MUSKOX (Ovibos moschatus) DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE, MUSKOX MANAGEMENT UNITS MX09, WEST OF THE COPPERMINE RIVER, AUGUST 2017. Lisa-Marie Leclerc1 Version: November 2018 For Nunavut Wildlife Research Trust 1Wildlife Biologist Kitikmeot Region, Department of Environment Wildlife Research Section, Government of Nunavut Box 377 Kugluktuk NU X0B 0E0 STATUS REPORT XXXX-XX NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION KUGLUKTUK, NU i ii Executive Summary The muskox in the West Kugluktuk management units (MX09) are the westernmost indigenous muskoxen in North American. Systematic strips transect survey took place in August 2017 to determine the muskox abundance and distribution in this area. A total of 8,591 km2 were flown, representing 16% coverage of the study area of 53,215 km2. During the survey, 87 adult muskoxen were recorded on transect resulting in an estimated number of 539 ± 150 (S.E.). The population in MX09 have been mostly stable since 1994, and it is consistent with local observations. Muskox distribution had not change from the historical one. Muskoxen have taken advantage of the wetter and lower-lying area in the Rae-Richardson River Valley that is within the proximity of uplands that provide them with suitable forage and a refugee from predators. The calf to adult ratio was 38% and the average number of adult per group was small, 6.21 ± 6.6. (S.D.). Muskox density was the lowest encounter within the Kitikmeot region with 0.010 muskox / km2 since 2013. The next survey of this area should be effectuated no later than 2023, so harvest quota could be review. iii Table of Contents Executive Summary .....................................................................................................................................
