Silu Autut runs a number of businesses in Rankin Inlet, including a taxi company, expediting outfit and small engine repair shop.

With fuel prices rising to start the new year, the entrepreneur is questioning how heSA国际影视传媒檚 going to continue covering costs to maintain his companies.

SA国际影视传媒淎ll the hunters and all the locals, people around us, are affected by this,SA国际影视传媒� said Autut to Kivalliq News. SA国际影视传媒淎ll my businesses, we always try to help the people out, but itSA国际影视传媒檚 starting to get really hard to do that, because itSA国际影视传媒檚 costing me money.SA国际影视传媒�

Diesel and gasoline both cost an extra 15 cents per litre as of Jan. 4, leading to retail prices of $1.50 per litre for diesel heating, $1.83 per litre for diesel in vehicles and $1.70 per litre for gasoline. Naphtha cans now cost $9.43 at retail.

Gas is one factor, but inflation is hitting in a number of ways, Autut said. Parts that would previously cost $250 landed are over $300 now.

Last year, Autut started his expediting and hauling business, which he said was very successful by boat in the summer.

SA国际影视传媒淏ut with the increase, just for me to go to Chester and back is going to cost me over $1,000 now,SA国际影视传媒� said Autut. SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 going to be the same issue with the Bombardier (in winter).SA国际影视传媒�

He said heSA国际影视传媒檚 SA国际影视传媒渄efinitelySA国际影视传媒� going to have to raise prices for his expediting business, but he wants to maintain the existing taxi fares, recognizing that costs are going up everywhere.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 just really sad to see,SA国际影视传媒� said Autut. SA国际影视传媒淓veryone is going to be affected by this. And people that donSA国际影视传媒檛 have full-time jobs, these are the people that are going to be affected the most. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 starting to get too ridiculous here.SA国际影视传媒�

Savannah Issaluk in Chesterfield Inlet said the increased costs have her reconsidering her once-regular hunting trips. She usually goes to Wager Bay by snowmobile to set nets and hunt wolves or caribou, and then to White Island by boat for camping and narwhal.

SA国际影视传媒淚t gets pretty expensive just buying the gas alone, also grub and supplies add up too,SA国际影视传媒� said Issaluk. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 getting more expensive every year. Inflation is really affecting the trips.SA国际影视传媒�

For Autut, the increased prices have him fearing he may need to make a major decision with his businesses.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a big struggle,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 really hard. YouSA国际影视传媒檝e got to be very careful on what the next steps are going to beSA国际影视传媒� With everything going up, I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know if weSA国际影视传媒檙e going to keep going after this winter.SA国际影视传媒�

He said he likes to always have a plan in place, but he fears he may have to let one of his businesses go in the wake of rising costs.
