Managing the blizzard in Arviat How a qulliq helped keep classmates warm
From Charmaine Okatsiak, Arviat I went to Arviat from Rankin to do week-long module studies with the Anglican church. I had a classmate from Coral Harbour who stayed with me at the church house called Inuuhivik, right next to the church. We had arrived on the weekend and had only completed one class on Nov. 20 due to the blizzard. We knew the blizzard was coming and bought some food to cook, but a power outage was not in our mind. The night the blizzard started, it took out the power twice, leaving us with no cellphone service as we both were with Qiniq. It was already after midnight when the outage happened, and being very tired, we fell asleep despite being cold. Once we woke up, the snow had already built up and visibility had gone very bad. We felt we had no choice but to stay inside, especially being in a polar bear town. It got so cold โ to the point where we wore all our warm clothing with blankets and could even see our breath inside the building. We looked everywhere for any resources to keep us warm. There were no flashlights, no candles, no generator. There were strong drafts coming in from the bedroom windows and the bathroom had no insulation. In hopes of making contact, I had put on my cellphone hotspot and changed my hotspot name to โhelp inuuhivik no heatNinternet.โ Hoping someone in our area would see it on their WiFi list and come to us. Getting worried and desperate, I thought and thought of how Inuit survived back then on the land, in iglus. And the qulliq came to mind (traditionally made of stone, using animal fat and Arctic cotton). Thankfully, I had some knowledge of lighting qullit from my Elders through the cultural workshop I ran a few summers ago. I took a frying pan, some canola oil and paper towel and lit it with my roommateโs lighter. It was so good to feel heat for the first time in a long time. We warmed up our hands and just soaked in the warmth. Ten minutes later, my roommate hears banging and shovelling at the door so she went to check it out. A man, who turned out to be a classmateโs husband, went to pick us up by walking to bring us to another classmateโs house near the church. We were so happy and so thankful that we rushed out and walked against the

strong blizzard to a house with power. Once we arrived there, I found out that my mom and sister were so worried about me, they had contacted a different classmate to check on us, and thatโs when our โrescueโ had started. It turned out that no one had heard from us for about 16 hours, according our last online activity when the Qiniq cellphone service went down. That means it was that long we had no heat or contact with anyone. The host of the house we stayed at said that her and her husband were going to go check on us once they can see the stop sign, meaning when the visibility improves. But that would have meant more hours to wait. Thankfully, we got picked up when we did. Towards the night, weather improved a bit, but still left many residents without power until linesmen arrived in town on Saturday. I believe it was a three-day blizzard. After all that, I only looked forward to going home to my family so they donโt worry about me. And once I was travelling home, the passengers and I had
to manually check-in outside the terminal from a car due to no power, a slight smell of fuel inside the terminal, and being outside was warmer than being inside. One of the agents also went live on Facebook prior to check-in time because three polar bears were going toward the terminal but they were chased away. It was an interesting trip. I learned so much about myself and how to handle new situations. I would like to thank my classmates and their families for taking care of my roommate and me with emergency accommodation, food, transportation, etc. Without them, Iโm not sure how things would have turned out. Iโm thinking about Arviammiut. Iโm glad their power was restored. It really makes you think to prepare for emergencies, not only on a personal level but also a corporate level. I thank the Qulliq Energy Corporation workers who were able to restore power to most houses when it first went out. Iโm hoping the church will get some help in repairs and improvements in their church house for future accommodations.

Death in Arviat Arviat Arviat RCMP were notified at 9:20 p.m. on Wednesday of a 27-year-old male who had left home at 11:15 a.m. and had yet to return by evening Thursday, Nov. 22. In an email, the Nunavut RCMP told Kivalliq News that the extreme weather conditions from the blizzard made it unsafe for the RCMP or search and rescue to deploy. โThe Arviat RCMP made attempts by phone to locate the male,โ stated the Nunavut RCMP by email. โThe male was later located deceased just outside the community.โ As of Nov. 23, the matter remained under investigation.

New liquor limits Nunavut New daily liquor import permit limits have taken effect across the territory, announced the Government of Nunavut. New changes to the Liquor Act regulations now limit the amount and frequency of spirits that an individual can import to the territory. There were no previous limits on the amount of alcohol an individual could import into Nunavut using a liquor import permit. These new limits are: One permit per day, per individual. Alcohol orders are limited to one permit per order. A maximum of 7L of spirits per permit*. *These limits do not apply to beer, wine, or other low-alcohol content beverages (coolers), or to liquor imported by sealift. โWe heard from many stakeholders, including hamlet councils and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, that import permit limits were required to curb the amount of hard liquor imported into communities for the purposes of bootlegging,โ stated Minister of Finance Lorne Kusugak in a news release. โThese new limits directly respond to those calls for change and were set based on feedback we received from our stakeholders.โ
Sled dog safety in territorial parks Nunavut The Government of Nunavut put out a news release stating that dog teams are a common sight around our territorial parks., and for the safety of Nunavummiut, people should adhere to the following guidelines when encountering a dog team: Safe pathway: Keep yourself and dog teams safe by keeping a distance of at least 30 meters (100 ft) when on foot, skidooing, skiing, or hiking. Dogs on leash: if you have a pet with you, ensure it is leashed and maintain a distance of 50 meters (160 ft) from dog teams. Driving guidelines: if you encounter a dog team on the road, stop your vehicle and allow them to pass, or, if passing is necessary, do so slowly and with maximum space. Snowmobile/ATV etiquette: on trails, slow down and provide a buffer of at least 30 meters (100 ft) when passing dog teams. Avoid distractions: do not call out to, attract, or distract the dog team in any manner. Nunavut Parks and Special Places, along with the Iqaluit Qimussiqtiit Katimajingit, thank you for your cooperation in preserving this important activity and ensuring a safe experience for Nunavummiut, stated the release.

Blizzard knocks out power to airport, gas station, homes By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Arviat
With no power at the gas station, airport and in many homes, Arviatโs hamlet council called a special meeting to declare a local state of emergency Friday, Nov. 24, as the past weekโs blizzard had knocked out electricity in key town infrastructure. โAs of right now, just about 3 p.m. Arviat time, full power has been restored to the community, including the runway and gas station, which were out of power for the last four or five days,โ Mayor Joe Savikataaq Jr. told Kivalliq News by phone, just after announcing the news on radio. Council set the state of emergency to last for 72 hours. Savikataaq Jr. said it allows the hamlet to seek additional resources and authority in dealing with a crisis. โWeโre happy that we have full power now but thereโs still a lot of work to be done,โ said Savikataaq Jr., mentioning how much snow in town still needs to be cleared. Some homes were out of power for five days, he added, saying housing corporation staff worked hard to rotate generators throughout the community, but some pipes still burst and the hamlet ended up opening the elementary school on Saturday for people to warm up and get food. Especially difficult was getting the Qulliq Energy Corporation workers to be able to land and fix the power issues, as the runway had no lights, forcing flights to operate only in daylight. โIโve experienced blizzards before but this one was quite powerful, a very intense blizzard that affected the whole community,โ said Savikataaq Jr. Murphyโs Law was in full effect, he said โ whatever could go wrong, did. โItโs been quite the last few days,โ said the mayor. He gave a big thanks to the QEC workers, hamlet staff and housing for their efforts during the emergency. The peak recorded windspeed in Arviat, at least when monitoring equipment had power, was 119 km/hr during the past weekโs blizzard.

Low-pressure system intensified over Hudson Bay
By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Kivalliq
The first blizzard of the season for the Kivalliq was a big one, bringing extremely high winds to several communities, power outages and damage to structures. โWe had a very powerful low-pressure system that intensified over Hudson Bay, and that brought your widespread blizzard conditions and those incredibly strong and damaging winds to areas of the eastern Kitikmeot, Kivalliq, obviously through Hudson Bay as well and even into Nunavik,โ explained Jesse Wagar, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). โThis will end up being a pretty prolonged, long-term blizzard event, over two to three days, depending on which community.โ Conditions developed early in the week, hitting Baker Lake and Arviat before Rankin Inlet experienced the winds Wednesday, Nov. 22. The way low-pressure systems develop, explained Wagar, is such that the outer edges of the system have the highest winds, so if the low pressure develops right over you, you wonโt experience much wind, just snow or freezing drizzle. โOnce the low started to move farther into Hudson Bay, it sort of dragged that pressure gradient eastward towards Rankin,โ said Wagar. She called the conditions a double whammy of high winds and bad visibility. โNot only was it the first blizzard of the season, but it was a pretty powerful one at that. The wind speeds were very high, extremely high,โ said Wagar. Arviatโs peak recorded windspeed was 119 km/h, with Baker Lake hitting 126 km/h and both Chesterfield Inlet and Rankin Inlet at 100 km/h. โIt wasnโt just one wind gust and everything died off,โ said Wagar, adding that ECCC is still waiting to confirm other wind gust numbers as some areas experienced power outages that prevented tracking. โIt does look like weโll be approaching wind gust records for the month of November,โ she said. The last few years in the Kivalliq have seen fewer blizzards than normal, said Wagar, possibly attributed to the La Nina climate pattern. That shifted this year to El Nino, though Wagar noted one canโt make direct correlations as blizzards are complicated events. She hoped everyone had time to heed the weather warnings. โWe are obviously concerned about the communities and just hope everybody was able to stay safe and take those precautions before the blizzard hit.โ Kivalliq News asked the Department of Community and Government Services for any information regarding the roof appearing to come off Simon Alaittuq School in Rankin Inlet due to the winds, but at the time, CGS had not yet been able to gather enough information due to the weather.

The Legacy Fund will be implemented if elected in a timely manner to ensure current generation of Inuit benefit fully and ensure the fund continues to grow for our future. I am not new to KIA as I was the assistant COO as well. This means I would not need training and all my work can begin immediately instead of needing training and introduction.
Q: What is your position on mining in the Kivalliq? A: We need to work with the mining sector, NIRB, NPC, GN and federal government to ensure jobs for Inuit at management levels. Prioritize Inuit concerns over profit. Caribou management. Protect lakes and rivers. Q: Do you have any solutions for the housing crisis?

Q: Can you list your name, age, home community and any relevant work or political experience? A: My name is Kono Tattuinee, married to Bernadette and Iโm 60 years old, currently living in Rankin Inlet.

Questions and answers with KIA candidates r? 9o3 u iWK5
From Page A6 decided to run for my second term of office.
-Build a transient centre (boarding home) in Rankin Inlet for the medical patients that are often stranded at the airport due to flight cancellations and for those who go for medical appointments in Rankin Inlet. -Work with all HTOs on their aspirations for wildlife management and preservation. -Lobby the federal government on GST rebates on purchases of trucks, snowmobiles, ATVs, freight charges, and other large-ticket items. -Bring transparency and report on all aspects of KIA operations annually. -Under the Nunavut Inuit Housing Action Plan, the KIA secured funds of $78 million. I will use that to build homes for young families, similar to the former HAP home ownership programs and renovate existing private homes. -Provide funding for access roads.
Q: What can the KIA do better? A: There are some things as an Inuit organization that we can improve upon and one of the things we can work more closely with the GN, specifically the Health department for those medical travellers that often get stranded in Rankin. They sometimes have to find a ride to town, and most of them do not find their own hotel or accommodations. Part of the solution could be that to lobby the GN for a medical boarding home in Rankin as itโs the hub of the region. One of the other things the Health department can do better might be to make available hotel for those that have to wait more than four hours and at least make food available for them if the layover is more than two hours. One issue currently is there needs to be a better job of coordinating financial resources for those pursuing post-secondary education so itโs needs based versus a first come, first-served basis. This means working with all levels of governments, industry and Inuit organizations to see what programs are delivered, including what is funded, and develop programming that complements each for students and their families. One of things that is tied in with Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit thatโs kind of become very quiet is the trapping industry โ as our forefathers had done to provide for family, to put food on the table. We need to look into building a relationship thatโll partner with the GN Environment (wildlife) to see if we can top up the amount the GN currently provides for fur-bearing animals i.e. foxes, wolf, polar bears, to name a few. The KIA can work or partner with the GN to bring this very important life skill to continue something that can help not only young people but the community as a whole. We need to revive this old trade that would again not only teach survival skills but also teach the next generation that they can be proud of.
Q: What are the biggest challenges the KIA faces? A: I think we are swamped with many challenges. Medical care is very high. I would work with the Department of Health for how patients can receive better health care. Many have gone to the health centre for help but have been sent home with a bottle of Tylenol. I would create an office where KIA can be an advocate. Many Kivalliq residents need a voice.
Patterk Netser Q: Can you list your name, age, home community and any relevant work or political experience? A: My name is Patterk Netser, 64 years old. Born and raised in Coral Harbour. I am married to Mona Netser. We have six children, all adults now, 20 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren. I am a former MLA and cabinet member of the Government of Nunavut with various departments: Environment, ED&T, Arctic College and Housing Corporation. I also worked for former Nunavut MP and federal minister Leona Aglukkaq as her constituent assistant and, later, regional director.
Q: What is your position on mining in the Kivalliq? A: First of all, it provides jobs for our people, brings in much needed income, also helps our local economies and the local (regional) businesses that provide spin-off jobs โ as long the mines follow the regulations of the land use and respect the environment.
Q: What are your main priorities to address if you are elected president of the KIA? A: My priorities are as follows and they all have equal attention: -Thereโs growing concerns over the Dene land claims currently under negotiations with the federal government that claim to have assertive rights over some of the Kivalliq region as well the Kitikmeot region on mineral rights and land use. If elected, I will vehemently oppose this claim. -Build a regional rehabilitation centre that will provide a place of treatment for people that have alcohol and drug addictions as well as mental health issues.
Q: Do you have any solutions for the housing crisis? A: The KIA has a pot of monies budgeted thanks to the Nunavut Inuit Housing Action Plan sponsored by the federal government to tackle affordable housing and homelessness in Nunavut. While I was president of Kivalliq Inuit, the funds have already been allocated to go towards affordable housing and or towards homeownership. The board had only deliberated and we went over some numbers but nothing was finalized. The funds allocated for Kivalliq is approximately $90 million and $14 million has already been secured for our region in this fiscal year. We have a lot of work to do and need to hear what this region wants. Q: What is your stance on Rankin Inletโs beer and wine store and its impacts? A: I believe the monies or the profits that go into GN should go towards education programs on the effects of alcohol use. Some of that monies should also provide help for those that need help with mental issues as well. Q: What is your stance on a medical boarding home in Rankin Inlet, and is it something you would advocate for as president of the KIA? A: This is also much needed in Rankin with Rankin being the hub โ to get people that travel on medical travel who have to try and find a place if the hotels are full; and not only those getting medical appointment here in Rankin, but those travelling from Winnipeg and/or Iqaluit get stranded here and theyโre the ones that would be able to access the boarding home if GN Health department were able to either build or renovate an existing building in Rankin.
Q: What can the KIA do better? A: I canโt at this time say where the KIA can do better, but I would consult with stakeholders, business groups, HTOs, education, Arctic College and hamlets on how we can be a better body.

Q: What is your position on mining in the Kivalliq? A: While I support mining activities as it creates jobs, at the end of life for a mine, mining companies leave with billions of dollars made but do not leave a lasting legacy that will benefit our future generations. We have to make changes so the beneficiary or communities will get lasting benefit from the mining companies working on Inuit-owned lands and throughout the Kivalliq. Q: What is your stance on Rankin Inletโs beer and wine store and its impacts? A: For Rankin Inletโs beer and wine store, I cannot speak for the community, but (from) reports from RCMP and concerned citizens about the ravages of alcohol, the community would do well with either more control or shutting the store down. Q: Is there anything else you would like to add? A: I believe the KIA partnering with both the GN and federal government can do much in addressing our critical infrastructure needs. I am willing to work with the Kivalliqmiut residents to build our region. As your president, I will lead this region to another level. On Dec.11, vote Netser.

Event shows hydrographic maps can be unreliable By Stewart Burnett Northern News Services Local Journalism Initiative Baker Lake
After an oil tanker made contact with the bottom in Chesterfield Narrows last year, seafarers are being reminded that nautical charts represent general conditions at the time of the hydrographic survey they are conduct and may not reflect the action condition of the seafloor. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada released its investigation report into the incident that occurred outside Baker Lake Oct. 28, 2022. The Kivalliq W., a double-hulled oil and chemical tanker owned by Coastal Shipping Limited, had completed a ship-to-ship transfer operation with the Marlin Ametrine at the anchorage off Helicopter Island and was proceeding toward Baker Lake with the intention of arriving at Chesterfield Narrows two hours after high tide. According to the passage plan, the vessel was expected to maintain an under-keel clearance in excess of 1 m throughout its transit of Chesterfield Narrows. At approximately 4:50 a.m., as the vessel turned to exit Chesterfield Narrows, an abnormal vibration was felt throughout the vessel, and the vessel was slower to respond to helm orders, wrote the TSBโs report. โShortly thereafter, the master sent the officer of the watch to the cargo control room to check the instruments for possible water ingress, and initiated emergency procedures,โ wrote the report. โIt was suspected that the vessel had made bottom contact with an uncharted submerged object.โ Deck crew began manually sounding the ballast water tanks to check for water ingress. โAs the vessel listed to starboard, water was found in the No. 3 starboard ballast water tank,โ writes the report. โBefore the occurrence voyage, this tank was empty; the presence of water in the tank confirmed to the crew that the vessel had made bottom contact and that the hull had been breached. All other tanks appeared intact, including those in the engine room spaces. After communicating with Transport Canada Marine Safety and Security, the vessel was authorized to continue its voyage to Baker Lake, where further inspections were carried out.โ After an inspection, it was approved to proceed on its own power to a dry dock in Quebec for repairs. At the time, the sea was calm and temperature 0, with no ice in sight. The Kivalliq W. sustained a hull breach below the waterline approximately three metres in length from the contact. The TSB stated that as of October 2022, 15.8 per cent of Canadaโs Arctic waters had been surveyed to moderate or adequate standards. โThe remoteness, harsh meteorological conditions, seasonal and permanent sea ice coverages, and low marine traffic in Canadian Arctic waters are factors that impact the quality of hydrographic data collected, some of which are decades old,โ wrote the report. Further, the report delved into the history of the nautical charts produced for the area. A chart from Schooner Harbour to Baker Lake covers the Chesterfield Narrows and surrounding waters, and three editions of it have been released: in 1975, 1992 and 2018. The first two charts used the hydrographic survey performed in 1974, with soundings spaced 100m apart. A chart correction was published in 2004 for the area of occurrence, correcting depth data from a survey in 1997. The 2018 edition is based on a hydrographic survey in 2016. The 1992 edition of the chart shows a depth of 4.2 m where the incident occurred, while the 2018 edition of the chart, which was used in this case, does not show the same shallow depth at this position. According to the Canadian Sailing Directions for Northern Canada, nautical charts represent general conditions at the time and those hydrographic surveys may fail to find every obstruction in areas with rocks. โIn such waters, customary routes and channels should be followed,โ writes the TSB. โThe seafloor of the occurrence area is mainly composed of rocks.โ A navigational warning was published the day of the incident after the crew reported it, in effect until a hydrographic survey is carried out. Since then, the Canadian Hydrographic Service reviewed the data from the 2016 survey and published a chart correction to indicate depths of 5.1m in the area. โEven if an area is charted and surveyed to modern hydrographic standards, crews navigating within those waters must exercise extra caution with due regard to under-keel clearance,โ writes the TSB. โSeafarers navigating in areas where tide prediction calculations are used to determine under-keel clearance should be aware that water levels are predicted, and a margin of error should be taken into account.โ
