PARADIS PRINTER TO HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY TIIE K[N1; 1929 Extracts from reports on the District of Ungava or New Quebec This report is a compilation of extracts from various reports on the northern territory added to the Province under the name of New Quebec Territory. A first edition of this report was published in 1913 ; a larger second edition was issued in 1915, hut the demand for the volume having exhausted the supply this third edition has become necessary. The request for inform- ation on this territory has always been great and it is believed that with facilities for rapid transportation by aeroplane, much greater interest still will he displayed. The geological information on the map that accompanies the report, is a compilation from official published sources, mainly, not to say exclusively, the publications of the Geological Survey of Canada. Our thanks are due to Dr W. R. Collins, Director of the Geological Survey, to Dr F. C. C. Lynch, Director, National Resources Intelligence Service, Dept. of the Interior, Ottawa, and to Dr G. M. Wrigley, Editor, Geographical Review, New York, for their kind permission to reproduce the illustrations which are given in the report. A. O. DIUFRESNE, Director Bureau of Mines. Quebec, J une 1929.

Some of these reports are now out of print and are only available to those who possess a complete set of the Survey publications. Moreover, it is thought that a presentment in one book of the more important information regarding this territory, scattered through numerous bulky volumes, will be welcome by persons interested in that northern country. In November, 1912, a bill was passed by the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, entitled, " An Act respecting Ungava and erecting that territory under the name of New Quebec ". The territory of New Quebec, therefore, comprises the district of Ungava, which lies immediately north of the Province of Quebec, as previously deli- neated. It embraces the mainland approximately between latitudes 53° and 60° 30', and between longitudes 57° and 790, with the exception of the North- East coast, which under the name of Labrador, falls under the juridietion of Newfoundland. Special attention is called to article 3 of the bill above mentioned, which enacts that : 3.—" All grants of lands, or other rights whatsoever in New Quebec, " before the 15th day of May, 1912, the date of the coming into force " of the proclamation of the Governor-General in Council,—except those " relating to the Hudson's Bay Company, or to the rights of the Indian " inhabitants, if such rights exist, the whole as mentioned in the Act " of Parliament of Canada, 2 George V, Chapter 45,—shall be notified to " the Provincial Secretary, within twenty-four months of the coming " into force of this act, under pain of absolute nullity. " Such notice may be given by registered letter, and shall be accom- " panied by a copy of the title, if any, evidencing the grant." The following acts give for themselves a history of the legislations respect- ing the annexation of the Territory of Ungava to the Province of Quebec. 2 NEW QUEBEC TERRITORY THE QUEBEC BOUNDARIES EXTENSION ACT OF 1912 HEREAS on the thirteenth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and W eight, the House of Commons resolved that the limits of the Province " of Quebec should be increased by the extension of the boundaries of the ` ` Province northwards so as to include the territory hereinafter described, as " in the said resolution is more particularly set out, upon such terms and " conditions as may be agreed to by the Legislature of Quebec and by the " Parliament of Canada. Therefore, subject to the consent of the said Legis- " lature, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and ` House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows : " 1.—This Act may be cited as the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act, 1912. " 2.—The limits of the Province of Quebec are hereby increased so that ` ` the boundaries thereof shall include, in addition of the present territory of " the said province, the territory bounded and described as follows :—Com- " mencing at the point at the mouth of East Main River where it empties into " James Bay, the said point being the Western termination of the Northern " boundary of the Province of Quebec, as established by chapter 3 of the " Statutes of 1898, intituled, " An Act respecting the north-western, northern ` and north-eastern boundaries of the Province of Quebec " ; thence northerly " and easterly along the shores of Hudson Bay and Hudson strait, thence " southerly, easterly and northerly along the shore of Ungava Bay and the " shore of the said strait ; thence easterly along the shore of the said strait to " the boundary of the territory over which the island of Newfoundland has " lawful jurisdiction ; thence south-easterly along the westerly boundary of " the said last mentioned territory to the middle of Bay du Rigolet or Hamilton " Inlet ; thence westerly along the northern boundary of the Province of " Quebec as esfablished by the said Act to the place of commencement ; and " all the land embraced by the said description shall, from and after the " commencement of this Act, be added to the Province of Quebec, and shall, " from and after the said commencement, form and be part of the said province " of Quebec upon the following terms and conditions and subject to the " following provisions :— " (a) That the population of the territory hereby added to the province " of Quebec shall be excluded in ascertaining the population of the said pro- " vince for the purposes of any readjustment of representation of the other " provinces consequent upon any census ; " (b) That in the general census of the population of Canada which is " required to be taken in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one " and in every tenth year thereafter, the population of the territory hereby " added to the province of Quebec shall be distinguished from that of the said UNGAVA ANNEXATION 3 " province as heretofore constituted, and the representation of the said territory " in the house of Commons shall be determined according to the rules enacted " by section 51 of " The British North America Act, 1867 ", regulating the " representation of the provinces other than Quebec ; " (c) That the province of Quebec will recognize the rights of the Indian " inhabitants of the territory above described to the same extent, and will " obtain surrenders of such rights in the same manner as the Government of " Canada has heretofore recognized such rights and has obtained surrender " thereof, and the said province shall bear and satisfy all charges and expen- ` diture in connection with or arising out of such surrenders ; " (d) That no such surrender shall be made or obtained except with the approval of the Governor-in-Council ; " (e) That the trusteeship of the Indians in the said territory, and the management of any lands now or hereafter reserved for their use, shall remain in the Government of Canada subject to the control of Parliament. " 3.—Nothing in this Act shall in any way prejudice or affect the rights gg of properties of the Hudson's Bay Company as contained in the conditions under which that Company surrendered Ruperts Land to the Crown. " 4.—This Act shall come into force on a day fixed by proclamation of " the Governor in Council published in the Canada Gazette, but such pro- " clamation shall not be made until after the Legislature of Quebec shall have " consented to the increase of the limits of the province herein provided for, " and agreed to the terms, conditions and provisions aforesaid." By an act assented to on April 3rd, 1912. the Quebec Legislature consented to the increase of the limits of the Province as set forth in the above schedule.

FOR these many years past, a considerable number of Esquimaux have been in the annual practice of visiting the three missionary establishments of the United Brethren on the coast of Labrador, Okkak, Nain, and Hopedale, chiefly with a view to barter, or to see those of their friends and ac- quaintance, who had become obedient to the gospel, and lived together in Christian fellowship, enjoying the instruction of the Missionaries. These people came mostly from the north, and some of them from a great distance. They reported, that the body of the Esquimaux nation lived near and beyond Cape Chud- leigh, which they call Killinek, and having conceived much friendship for the Missionaries, never failed to request, that some of them would come to their country, and even urged the formation of a new settlement, considerably to the north of Okkak. To these repeated and earnest applications the Mission- aries were the more disposed to listen, as it had been disco- vered, not many years after the establishment of the Mission in 177 lj, that that part of the coast on which, by the encou- ragement of the British government, the first settlement was made, was very thinly inhabited, and that the aim of the Mission, to convert the Esquimaux to Christianity, would be .

  • Archean Crustal Evolution in the Central Minto Block, Northern Quebec
    CA9700382 -3- Archean crustal evolution in the central Minto block, northern Quebec T. Skulski1, J.A. Percival1, and R.A. Stern1 Skulski, T., Percival, J.A., and Stern, R.A., 1996: Archean crustal evolution in the central Minto block, northern Quebec; m Radiogenic Age and Isotopic Studies: Report 9; Geological Survey of Canada, Current Research 1995 -F, p. 17-31. Abstract: The central Minto block contains three volcano-sedimentary successions. Near Lake Qalluviartuuq, an isotopically primitive (2-83 GaeNd +3.8 to +2.3) 2.83 Ga volcano-plutonic sequence comprises depleted tholeiitic basalts, anorthositic gabbro, and diorite-granodiorite that is unconformably 2 76 Ga overlain by <2.77 Ga conglomerates. Overlying the conglomerate is a more evolved ( - £Nd +1.8) calc-alkaline sequence of pillow basalts, andesites, and peridotite cut by 2.73 Ga diorite. To the west, and in inferred tectonic contact, the sediment-dominated Kogaluc sequence includes both isotopically evolved 276 Ga calc-alkaline rocks ( £Nd +1-6 to -0.1) including <2.76 Ga rhyolitic tuff, pillowed andesites, and 276Ga 2.76 Ga quartz-feldspar porphyry, and less abundant, depleted tholeiitic basalts ( £Nd +24). These are interlain with sedimentary rocks including banded iron-formation, quartzite, and metagreywacke. Calc- 2 78 Ga alkaline batholiths include 2.78 Ga pyroxene-bearing intermediate and felsic plutons ( - eNd <+2.7) and younger, peraluminous tonalites (eN(l <+1.3). Late, 2.73 Ga peraluminous granitoids are isotopically 2J25Ga evolved ( eNd -1.6). Resume : La partie centrale du bloc de Minto contient trois successions volcano-se'dimentaires. Pres du 2 83 Ga lac Qalluviartuuq, une sequence volcano-plutonique isotopiquement primitive ( - £Nd+3,8 a +2,3) de 2,83 Ga comprend des basaltes tholeiitiques appauvris, du gabbro anorthositique et un melange de diorite et de granodiorite, laquelle sequence est recouverte en discordance de conglomerats de < 2,77 Ga.

  • Population Declines of the Ivory Gull in the Canadian Arctic
    Mallory – High Arctic Common Eiders 1 NWMB INTERIM REPORT Project Number: 4-10-02 Project Title: Local knowledge and surveys on declines of Arctic terns near Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove Prepared by: Mark Mallory Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie and Northern Region, Box 1714, Iqaluit, NU, X0A 0H0 [email protected]; 867 975 4637 Jason Akearok, Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie and Northern Region, Box 1714, Iqaluit, NU, X0A 0H0 [email protected]; 867 975 4641 Summary: Arctic Tern eggs are an important food resource of harvesters in Nunavut, notably in the Kivalliq region. Harvesters in several communities, but notably Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove, have expressed concern over declining numbers of terns near their communities, and seek research to address the issue. In response to the communities‟ interest, and following discussion with them, we conducted an Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) study at both communities to document the historical and current distribution of tern colonies, and to gauge community thoughts on the possible causes of decline. We worked with the local HTOs to select ~ 10 local residents with knowledge of Arctic terns. All interviewees were presented with a consent form (in Inuktitut and English) prior to the interviews and asked if they consent to be interviewed and recorded and that the information that they provide would be used for management purposes, annual reports and potentially in a published report. Interviewees were paid ~ $60 honoraria per interview or up to $150 for a full day. The IQ information will be used to: 1) assess the historical and current population trend of Arctic terns; 2) provide input into a Nunavut-wide management of tern colonies and; 3) develop a community-based monitoring program for terns and other marine birds near these communities.
