Project Authority: Tracey Loewen Fisheries & Oceans Canada 501 University Crescent Winnipeg, MB, CA R3T 2N6 Other Personnel: Heidi Swanson; Rosie Smith; 2-4 Kugluktuk Community members Objectives: Movement and ecology of Chars and Cods in Coronation Gulf The Coppermine River has historically supported an important subsistence fishery that is critical for the health of Inuit living in Kugluktuk, NU. Since 2015, the Kugluktuk Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) and community members have observed a sharp decline in the fall run of migratory Char and lower abundance of Greenland Cod in coastal/marine areas. In this project, we will identify streams and lakes used by migratory Chars using satellite and acoustic telemetry techniques and examine Greenland Cod coastal ecology parameters. We will also be dead sampling Chars and Cods captured through subsistence harvester fishing efforts and/or through gillnetting practices to better understand trophic ecology and life history parameters of the species. CONDITIONS Specified Conditions: In addition to the waterbodies listed on this licence, the following waterbodies may also be sampled with the maximum numbers alive and dead for the species listed: Rae River (general location for sites within the river): 67° 53'N, 115° 49'W Richardson River (general location for sites within the river): 67° 51'N, 115° 31'W Napaaktoktok River (general location for sites within the river): 67° 48'N, 114° 44'W Asiak River (general location for sites within the river): 67° 43'N, 114° 31'W Kikerk Lake: 67° 18'N, 113° 10'W (general location) Eokuk Lake: 67° 24'N, 112° 56'W (general location) The licencee is authorized to sample using trammel nets and a plankton tow net within the Coastal Marine Environments of the Coronation Gulf region.

    Studien zur Siedlungs- und Wirtschaftsentwicklung in der östlichen kanadischen Zentralarktis*) Von Erhard Treude (Münster/Westf.) Mit 5 Figuren Summary: On the Development 0/ the Settlement Pattern and the Economy 0/ the Ea8tern Ganadian Gentral Arctic. Two periods of development are dealt with: 1. 1920-1950:The whalers not havingreachedthe area, the Netsilik Eskimos did not come into elose contact with Euro-Canadians until after 1920 when the fur traders invaded the country. The introduction of the rifle and the gradual acceptance of fur trapping deeply affected the traditional economy, until it finally collapsed when the fox prices broke down after World War H. - 2. 1950-1970: This period is characterized bythe abandonment of the isolated winter settlements in favour of living in the larger communities of Gjoa Raven, Spence Bay and Pelly Bay providing a wide range of services and facilities. At the same time, opportunities for wage employment were offered on a wider scale. The formation of co-operatives on the one hand and settlement councils on the other hand enabled the local people to take a more active part in their economic and political development. - In a final chapter, the present (1971) structure of the settlement pattern and the economy are described; and data are provided on the total local cash income for each of the settlements. 1. Einleitung Unter Zentralarktis wird ein Bereich verstanden, der die Inseln Victoria, King William, Prince of Wales und Somerset sowie den festländischen Küstenstreifen etwa von Tinney Point im Westen bis Cape James Anderson im Osten umfaßt (vgl. Fig. 1). Nach der häufig benutzten, von der Richtung des Seeverkehrs bestimm- ten Zweiteilung des nördlichen Kanadas in West- und Ostarktis würde es sich um die östliche Westarktis zuzüglich der beiden zur Ostarktis gerechneten Inseln Prince of Wales und Somerset handeln.

Chouinard D. Milburn Published under the authority of the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Ottawa, 1995 QS-8507-030-EF-Al Catalogue No. R72-244/1-1995E ISBN 0-662-23939-3 © Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada FOREWORD The Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES), announced in April 1991, is a six-year $100 million Green Plan initiative. The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing. Although data may not be available for all studies, or results are preliminary at this time, this report presents detailed background, objectives and methodology.

Muskox Distribution and Abundance in the Western Kitikmeot Summary An aerial muskox survey was conducted from May 15 to May 19, 2007 in the Western Kitikmeot, Nunavut (area west of the Coppermine River to Bluenose Lake and from Dismal Lake in the south to the mainland shoreline of the Dolphin and Union Strait – MX12). The survey area was divided into two strata, High Density Area (HAD) covered at 42% and Low Density Area (LDA) covered at 25%. In the high density area (HDA) (13,404 km2), we counted 159 adult muskoxen and 34 calves on the transects and estimated 377 adult muskoxen (±75 S.E., CV=0.20) with 21.4% of calves in the population. In the low density area (LDA) (16,791 km2), we counted 33 adult muskoxen and 15 calves on the transects. And estimated 132 adult muskoxen (±71 S.E., CV=0.54) with 45.5% of calves in the population.

Abstract The Nunavut Carving Stone Deposit Evaluation Program is a collaborative project led by the Government of Nunavut De- partment of Economic Development and Transportation and involving the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office. This paper summarizes field observations and deposit evaluations of 31 carving stone sites in the Kitikmeot region, on the Belcher Is- lands, on Hall Peninsula and near Repulse Bay carried out in 2013 and 2014. Highlights include documentation of the east- ern Kitikmeot Region’s shared Aqituqtaqvik (Murchison River) quarry; newly documented reserves of 30 000 tonnes of arti- san marble at Sanikiluaq’s community quarry; several small-scale serpentinite deposits in the immediate vicinity of Repulse Bay; and a new tidewater deposit in the Leybourne Islands of Cumberland Sound that contains an estimated 25 000 tonnes of artisan serpentinite. Including 2013 and 2014 results reported herein, a total of 94 carving stone sites have been documented in the vicinity of 23 communities across Nunavut since 2010. The Nunavut Carving Stone Deposit Evaluation Program has confirmed 15 sub- stantial new deposits and determined grade, tonnage and composition of 9 active community quarries and 1 regional pro- ducer.
