Caribou approaching Rankin Inlet

Rankin Inlet

The spring caribou herd was getting close to Rankin Inlet at the end of last week. Agnico Eagle announced that it will continue to monitor the situation and follow its caribou management plan with the help of the Kivalliq Inuit Association, the Hunters and Trappers Organization and the territorial government.

According to the plan, all mining activities will be suspended when between 1 to 50 caribou get within 100 metres of the road. Hunters are reminded not to shoot directly across the road or within the work area.

Gun Safety

Baker Lake

The Hamlet of Bake Lake is currently looking for people who would be interested in taking a gun safety course. The personal acquisition licence is required for all gun owners in Canada.

People interested in getting additional certifications can also take the Nunavut Online Hunter Education Course. The online course is a voluntary, self-study program designed to help educate new or inexperienced hunters and is not intended as a replacement for traditional knowledge learned from elders or mentors.
