  • Arctic Airports and Aerodromes As Critical Infrastructure
    October 30, 2020 Arctic Airports and Aerodromes as Critical Infrastructure Christina Bouchard, Graduate Fellow and Program Manager: Critical Infrastructure in Canada’s Arctic Territories Key Considerations Many Arctic communities were formed as coastal settlements and continue to rely heavily on air or naval transportation modes. Notably, the territory of Nunavut (NU) includes island communities where air infrastructure plays a critical role in community resupply in the absence of a highway system. It is anticipated that the rapid advancement of climate change will result in permafrost melt, sea ice melt and changing weather patterns. The ground upon which runways, buildings and other infrastructure are constructed will shift and move as the permafrost melts. Capital planning studies have also identified shortfalls with runway lighting systems and power supply, critical for safety where visibility is challenging. Both the extended periods of darkness in the North and the increasing prevalence of severe wind and weather events heighten the need for modern lighting systems. In addition to climate change considerations, the 2020 emergence of the novel COVID-19 virus has also drawn attention to the essential nature of airports in Nunavut for medical flights1. Private companies providing air services, have experienced pressures following the emergence of the virus. The pandemic circumstances of COVID-19 exposed, and brought to question, underlying systemic assumptions about the profitability of providing medically critical air travel services to remote locations. Purpose This policy primer describes the state of existing and planned Arctic aeronautical facilities. The overarching challenge of remoteness faced by many northern communities is discussed to understand the critical nature of air travel infrastructure in remote communities.

In May 2016, Statistics Canada conducted the 2016 Census of Population to count people according to their usual place of residence as of May 10, 2016, and to collect other relevant information. The first set of results with population (not adjusted for under-coverage) and dwelling counts were released on February 8, 2017. This was the first of six releases of census results in 2017. For Yukon, the counts are grouped into 36 census subdivisions (CSDs). The CSDs represent municipalities as determined by provincial/territorial legislation or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes (e.g., Settlements and unorganized territories). The population growth rate in Yukon between the censuses Population Growth by Province and Territory of 2011 and 2016 was 5.8%. This was down from the growth (2011 to 2016 Census Counts) rate of 11.6% between the censuses of 2006 to 2011. The 12.7% 11.6% slower growth rate was mainly due to interprovincial migra- tion losses.

The study, delivered through a series of technical papers, is intended to help inform the decisions necessary to fill the territory’s growing energy gap and to support the Yukon’s continued economic growth and development. This report, the Site Screening Inventory, is the first of a series of technical papers with the goal of identifying, evaluating, categorizing, and ranking potential hydroelectric projects in the context of current economic, environmental, and societal expectations. To facilitate feedback, refinement, and transparency, the Site Screening Inventory is divided into two parts: 1) Part 1 (This Report) – At the end of three stages of screening (Screen 0, Screen 1, and Screen 2) 16 sites of interest remain for further study. The initial three screening stages include: reconciliation of known sites, screening for fundamental development barriers, and screening for fundamentally uneconomic sites. 2) Part 2 – Taking the 16 sites identified in Part 1, Part 2 contains a ranking (Ranking 3) that has the following sub-components: assessment of a project’s ability to meet the capacity and energy requirements of the Yukon grid, investigation of key environmental considerations, investigation of key socioeconomic considerations, and updated economics.
