Community Consultations on Inuit Owned Lands, Igloolik

The Qikiqtani Inuit Association’s Department of Lands and Resources is holding community consultations regarding Inuit Owned Lands (IOL). The purpose of the meetings is to consult with residents of Igloolik about why the IOL parcels were chosen, how the lands are currently being used, and how they should be used in the future.

QIA is requesting that at least six people participate, including members of the Community Lands and Resources Committee, Elders, and land users with knowledge of the community’s Inuit Owned Land. The meeting will allow QIA staff to update information on IOL and make decisions on land use permits.

The meetings will be held at the Hamlet Chambers on Monday, December 2nd from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the possibility of another meeting on December 3rd.
