... About 30 years ago, I began my career as an Arctic research scientist. My interest in these early days was on marine mammals and their habitats, including sea ice. For the first 10 years of my career I was skeptical of the reality of climate change in the Arctic. As far as I was concerned, the variability we saw in sea-ice related processes was simply part of the natural variability of the system. I was not convinced that we were experiencing global warming in the Arctic. The summer minimum extent of sea ice is a good metric of how the sea-ice cover responds to changes in temperature of both the atmosphere and the ocean. But in reality sea ice responds to much more than temperature changes, including the movement of the ice, which is also created by changes in the atmosphere and ocean circulation. The general concept is that sea ice decays in the summer and retreats towards the North Pole. Once it begins to cool in the fall, sea ice begins to grow again. The ice that is left at the end of the summer melt, usually mid- to late September, is then considered multi-year sea ice, as it begins to grow again the next winter. The open water areas form sea ice as well, and this is known as annual or first-year sea ice. During the first 10 years of my career, the sea ice minimum hovered around 7.5 million km². The variability around this summer minimum was about ±0.5 million km². Looking back, I can see why the first 10 years of my career left me with the impression that the Arctic was behaving as it should (Figure 4). But during the next 10 years, things began to change in the minimum extent of sea ice (Figure 4). This period was characterized by an overall average decline in the summer extent to about 7.0 million km². But the key change was an increase in the overall variability of the minimum extent to about ±1.0 million km². When conducting our field programs during these years, it became quite clear that the sea-ice related processes were all changing in the Arctic - and what surprised me the most was the rate at which this decline accelerated. In the last 10 years of my career, the decline in summer sea ice has been remarkable (Figure 4). We have seen a reduction in the summer minimum of sea ice from 2000 to 2011 of over 2.5 million km². Although I have illustrated these three decades with three different linear trend lines in Figure 4a, the most physically realistic mathematical function to fit such a decline in the summer minimum of sea ice would be represented by a quadratic (or curvilinear) function (Figure 4b). We know that the decline is better represented by this curve rather than a straight line relationship because of the role feedbacks play in the sea ice climate system. These feedbacks were the key science question we wished to address during the International Polar Year (IPY) Circumpolar Flaw Lead (CFL) system study. In the years leading up to the IPY-CFL project, we learned from other national and international programs (see section 6.2 for more details on these linkages) that climate change was having a profound effect on the sea-ice cover all over the Arctic and throughout the annual cycle. We did not, however, have a good appreciation of the physical processes that affect the sea ice in the winter period - nor the biological consequences of these changes as the ecosystem set up for the spring bloom. Thus we fashioned the IPY-CFL project to do something no one else had ever attempted and that was to overwinter a fully outfitted (both in terms of scientists and their equipment) icebreaker in the open water of the flaw lead of the Cape Bathurst polynya. We recognized early on that the Inuvialuit of the region had a strong and very complementary knowledge system regarding their understanding of the changes unfolding in the region. This recognition of their traditional knowledge led to the IPY-CFL project formulating the concept of "Two Ways of Knowing," a philosophy we used throughout the project. We wanted to im merse ourselves in the middle of this complex system of ice and open water that existed through the winter season to gain a better appreciation for the physical mechanisms that were affecting the lifecycle of the sea ice - while at the same time coming to an understanding of the myriad of related biological, biogeochemical, and ecological processes that are associated with the changes in the sea icescape. This document summarizes the results of this ambitious endeavour. In what follows we attempt to synthesize the work of over 350 scientists, technicians, students, and Inuvialuit partners regarding the results of our work. ... We hope this document serves as a legacy well into the future and that the fifth International Polar Year, some 50 years into the future, will be able to use this as a benchmark against which to measure the changes which are happening all too rapidly in our changing Arctic.

The Inuit are an indigenous population whose homeland today comprises Chukotka in Russia, Alaska, northern Canada and Greenland, with an estimated global population of 165,000. The rapid social and economic changes especially over the past half century have been accompanied by a health transition, for which anthropometry is well suited to provide convenient and inexpensive indicators such as stature and obesity. The historical and early ethnographic literature reported the Inuit as characteristically short but with a high sitting height ratio. The Inuit morphology has been attributed to adaptation to the cold Arctic climate, however, secular trends in increasing height and reducing sitting height ratio, especially among children, have been documented. Obesity among the Inuit based on BMI, skinfold thicknesses, and waist circumferences had been uncommon up until the late 1970s and early 1980s. Recent surveys among children in some regions have found an alarming prevalence of obesity at 57% for boys and 45% for girls. Studies on the metabolic correlates of obesity among adult Inuit tend to show a lower degree of blood pressure, plasma glucose, insulin, and atherogenic lipids compared to Europeans at the same levels of BMI, however, imaging studies that localize abdominal fat distribution are lacking. Determining the health consequences of "obesity" classified according to international criteria requires longitudinal monitoring of defined cohorts. While field studies of anthropometry in the Arctic are faced with formidable logistical obstacles, they offer important information for monitoring the health and nutrition status of the population, and the planning and evaluation of health programs and services.

During the last century, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) has expanded its distribution into the Arctic, where it competes with the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), an ecologically similar tundra predator. The red fox expansion correlates with climate warming, and the ultimate determinant of the outcome of the competition between the two species is hypothesized to be climate. We conducted aerial and ground fox den surveys in the northern Yukon (Herschel Island and the coastal mainland) to investigate the relative abundance of red and arctic foxes over the last four decades. This region has undergone the most intense warming observed in North America, and we hypothesized that this climate change led to increasing dominance of red fox over arctic fox. Results of recent surveys fall within the range of previous ones, indicating little change in the relative abundance of the two species. North Yukon fox dens are mostly occupied by arctic fox, with active red fox dens occurring sympatrically. While vegetation changes have been reported, there is no indication that secondary productivity and food abundance for foxes have increased. Our study shows that in the western Arctic of North America, where climate warming was intense, the competitive balance between red and arctic foxes changed little in 40 years. Our results challenge the hypotheses linking climate to red fox expansion, and we discuss how climate warming's negative effects on predators may be overriding positive effects of milder temperatures and longer growing seasons.

Qikiqtaryuk or Herschel Island has a rich natural and cultural history, so much so that it was proposed for nomination in 2004 as a World Heritage Site along with adjacent Ivvavik and Vuntut national parks. It has been a Yukon territorial park since 1987, established as a result of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, giving it a land claim settlement status that infuses modern governance with Inuvialuit tradition. The common name for the park is Herschel lsland-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park, but the transliteration of the Inuvialuktun pronunciation in the Siglitun dialect is Qikiqtaryuk. The island has been central to the history of Canada's western Arctic. The oral history of the island and the Yukon North Slope were carefully documented and published in 1994, but it is remarkable that other aspects of the island's story are scattered through the scientific and technical literature, government reports, scholarly books, and the stories of travellers and traders. This book is the first comprehensive publication on Qikiqtaryuk-Herschel Island, drawing on recent research, indigenous knowledge, and historical material to provide a many-sided portrait of this vibrant and complex place. ... When the park was established, the Government of Yukon made a considerable effort to document the history and terrain conditions, especially the vegetation, on the island. These records now form a basis against which we may determine the effects of climate change in the western Canadian Arctic. Current research at Qikiqtaryuk focuses not only on developing a foundational understanding of the Arctic environmental system on the island, but also on how it has changed over the last century, is changing now, and how future conditions may affect it further. The research is possible because of the logistical support at Pauline Cove, especially the seasonal landing strips on the ice and the beach, and the shelter provided by the buildings. Much of this research was stimulated by the Government of Canada's support for the 2007-09 International Polar Year (IPY). At Herschel Island, IPY research was able to capitalize on a maturing series of environmental monitoring programs initiated by Yukon government biologists and conducted in collaboration with Park staff. Similarly, resource management in the region has come of age, with the agencies established under the Inuvialuit Final Agreement now being full, active, and experienced partners in decisions regarding the region. As a result, this book both integrates a dispersed literature and presents a fresh perspective, founded in the experience of a changing environment. Each chapter of this book was written by a person who has spent considerable time in professional study or practice in his or her field, and who has a direct connection to Herschel Island. Most of the authors are northerners based in the Mackenzie Delta, Whitehorse, or Yellowknife, who visit the island regularly as active research specialists. Others are academics who have spent considerable time at Herschel and have subsequently published their work. All have contributed enthusiastically and have opened a perspective on the island that is both wide and detailed. At the end of the book, you will find brief portraits of these contributors and their suggestions for further reading if you would like to learn more about a particular topic. The work of putting together this book has been a collaborative effort, supported throughout by agencies and key individuals. ... [From the Preface by C.R. Burn.] (Au)

This report provides a summary of the results for the community and personal wellness module from the Inuit Health Survey: Health in Transition and Resiliency conducted in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in 2008. BACKGROUND: Inuvialuit have expressed a desire to have health information that is of practical relevance so that informed decisions can be made in the face of the rapid changes that are affecting all dimensions of life in Arctic communities. In response to these concerns, a multifaceted participatory health research project for those 18 years of age and above was developed and undertaken in 6 communities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in 2008. The goal of the survey was to obtain an overview of the health status and living conditions of Inuvialuit living in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. FUNDING: Funding for this project was received from the Government of Canada's Program for International PolarYear, Canadian Institutes for Health Research, Health Canada, University of Toronto, Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, Indian and Northern Affairs, and ArcticNet. APPROVAL: Ethical approval was provided by McGill's Institutional Review Board. The research licence was issued by the Aurora Research Institute as required by the NWT Scientists Act. A NOTE ON THE RESULTS: A total of 362 ISR residents participated in the Inuit Health Survey. A subsample of these (268 people) completed the Community and Personal Wellness questionnaire. It is possible that, due to the nature of the questions, participants chose not to respond to some or all of the questions on the Community and Personal Wellness questionnaire. This occurrence is not uncommon in surveys dealing with sensitive topics such as mental health and wellness. As a result, the prevalence of some of these conditions in ISR communities may be even higher than our results suggest. (Au)

The treatment of municipal wastewater can be problematic in the remote cold climate environment of the Canadian Arctic, because of a variety of operational, financial, and technical and bureaucratic reasons. As a result, treatment facilities for many communities are thought to only achieve preliminary to primary treatment of municipal wastewater; wastewater often being discharged directly onto the tundra. In this study we provide the first season long study of tundra wetland systems in the Canadian Arctic. In 2008, we studied the performance of six wetland systems used for wastewater treatment in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Canada. The wetland systems studied services communities of approximately 320-2300 residents, including commercial and government buildings, but generally minimal industry. In total, the systems receive a flow rate of approximately 28-163 m³/day of wastewater. We observed average weekly percent reduction in all parameters, with deviations immediately after snowmelt and at the beginning of freeze-up. For the six parameters monitored we observed reductions of 47-94% cBOD5, 57-96% COD, 39-98% TSS, >99% TC, >99% E. coli, 84-99% NH3-N and 80-99% TP. In three of the systems, the water discharged from the wetlands and into the receiving environment maintained similar concentrations, and significant similarities in NH3-N and TP as observed in the natural background concentrations of nearby wetlands. The performance of tundra wetlands to treat the wastewater demonstrates that they are an appropriate technology for remote Canadian Arctic communities. This study also exemplifies the ability of natural systems to act as sinks and transformers, acknowledging that mechanistic assessments will be required to identify primary processes involved in the treatment of Arctic wastewater.

The rate of climate change in the Arctic is now more than twice the global average. Arctic ecosystems are changing accordingly, and may not be able to adapt to the changes naturally. From March 2007 to March 2009, roughly 50,000 people from more than 60 nations were involved in research to uncover some of the secrets of the Arctic and the Antarctic. The International Polar Year 2007-2008 was the largest ever coordinated research programme covering the Earth's polar regions. This unique book presents the current state of the poles and assesses the future changes to polar ecosystems and geophysical processes which could affect the rest of the planet. (Au)

... Le programme du gouvernement du Canada pour l'API a consacré 150 millions de dollars afin d'appuyer 45 projets de recherche. De plus, le Conseil de recherche en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG) a subventionné 11 projets de l'API. Quatre des projets ont reçu des fonds du programme du gouvernement du Canada et du CRSNG, portant à 52 le total des projets scientifiques. Les recherches sur le terrain se sont déroulées à plus de 100 emplacements un peu partout dans le nord du Canada et sur cinq brise-glace de la Garde côtière canadienne. Elles se sont concentrées sur deux domaines essentiels : les répercussions du changement climatique et l'adaptation à celui-ci, ainsi que la santé et le bien-être des collectivités nordiques. Les chercheurs ont été encouragés à recourir à des approches interdisciplinaires et à fusionner le savoir traditionnel et la science. Chaque projet de recherche canadien devait être pertinent par rapport aux besoins des collectivités nordiques, faire appel aux gens du Nord dans la planification et la mise en oeuvre de la recherche et comporter un élément de renforcement des capacités à l'intention des étudiants et des collectivités. En effet, contrairement aux API précédentes, l'API 2007-2008 a fait participer des gens du monde circumpolaire à la planification et à l'exécution des projets de recherche, en reconnaissant le fait que les populations locales du monde circumpolaire ont maintenant plus de maîtrise sur leur vie depuis les règlements des revendications territoriales et les gouvernements autonomes. La Commission canadienne des affaires polaires (CCAP) a joué un rôle déterminant pour faire du Canada l'un des grands intervenants de l'API 2007-2008. La CCAP a consulté activement la communauté des chercheurs polaires et les collectivités nordiques afin de préciser de quelle façon le Canada devrait participer à l'API. La Commission a également établi et appuyé le comité national de l'API et son Secrétariat chargé de recevoirles propositions de recherches et de superviser les projets. Ces efforts continueront à porter fruits pour les Canadiens du Nord et du Sud, car les résultats scientifiques des projets canadiens de l'API éclaireront la politique, les programmes et les pratiques qui contribueront à une meilleure compréhension de l'état des régions polaires.

In this article, we consider the formation of responsible research relationships with Inuit communities from an "outsider" researcher perspective. Cautious not to prescribe what counts as responsible, we draw on research experiences in several Nunavut communities to introduce and explain "engaged acclimatization." This neologism refers to embodied and relational methodological processes for fostering responsible research partnerships, and is inspired by the significance of preliminary fieldwork in orienting the lead author's doctoral thesis. As a complement to community-based participatory methodologies, engaged acclimatization facilitates endogenous research by enacting ethics as a lived experience, initiating and nurturing relationships as a central component of research, and centring methods on circumstances within participating communities. After we locate engaged acclimatization within resonant literature and details of interrelated research projects, our article sketches out four aspects of engaged acclimatization: crafting relations, learning, immersion, and activism. In our discussion of each, we integrate specific insights derived from field notes, observations, photographs, critical reflections, and literature that have brought us to this understanding. The four aspects provide conceptual and methodological tools for readers to apply in the contexts of their own research programs or in guidelines for establishing partnerships with Inuit or Aboriginal communities. The value of this article lies in the extent to which it encourages readers to situate engaged acclimatization in their own research and further develop it as a process. (Au)

The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of research into the human dimensions of climate change in the Arctic. Much of this work has examined impacts on subsistence hunting, fishing, and trapping among Canadian Inuit communities. This scholarship has developed a baseline understanding of vulnerability and adaptation, drawing upon interviews with community members and stakeholders to identify and characterize climatic risks and adaptive strategies. To further advance this baseline understanding, new methodologies are needed to complement existing research if we are to capture the dynamic nature of how climate change is experienced and responded to, and fully engage communities as equal partners. Longitudinal studies, community-based monitoring, and targeted adaptation research offer significant promise to advance understanding. These methodologies provide a strong basis for developing meaningful partnerships with communities, the co-production of knowledge, and empowerment for adaptation: essential components of community-based participatory research.

... The Government of Canada Program for IPY dedicated $150 million to support 45 research projects. In addition, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) funded 11 IPY projects. Four of the projects received funding from both the Government of Canada Program and NSERC, bringing the total to 52 science projects. Researchers in the field worked at more than 100 sites across Canada's North and aboard five Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers. They focused on two key areas: climate change impacts and adaptation, and the health and well-being of northern communities. Researchers were encouraged to use interdisciplinary approaches and to meld traditional knowledge and science. Each Canadian research project was required to be relevant to the needs of northern communities, involve Northerners in planning and implementing the research and include an element of capacity building for students and communities. Indeed, unlike previous IPYs, IPY 2007-2008 included people from the circumpolar world in the planning and execution of research projects, a recognition that local populations in the circumpolar world now have more control over their lives through land claim settlements and self government. The Canadian Polar Commission was instrumental in establishing Canada as a major player in IPY 2007-2008. It sought input from the polar research community and northern communities on how Canada should participate in IPY. The Polar Commission also established and supported the National IPY Committee and Secretariat to receive research proposals and oversee the projects. These efforts will continue to bear fruit for Canadians in the North and South as the scientific results of Canada's IPY projects will inform policy, programs and practices and contribute to a better understanding of the state of the polar regions.

IPY by the Numbers: 228 projects were undertaken through IPY 2007-2008, with 170 dedicated to science and 57 to education and outreach. $156 million of funding were provided by the Government of Canada and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada for IPY 2007-2008. 1,000 previously unknown marine species were discovered through IPY research. Of these, around 25 percent were found to be common to both polar regions. 1,800 Northerners - and 215 students from Canada's North - contributed to IPY projects as researchers, technicians and field guides. 8 science projects were led by Northerners. 240 international researchers from 23 countries were involved in Canadian IPY projects. 8 international IPY research networks were led by Canadians. 9 delegates attended the first International Polar Conference held in Germany in 1879 to plan the first International Polar Year. 2,500 delegates are expected to participate in the IPY conference From Knowledge to Action in Montreal in April 2012. ...

The Circumpolar Flaw Lead system study (CFL) is based on the premise, “Two Ways of Knowing,” which values the contributions of two different yet interconnected modes of knowledge that, together contribute to a greater understanding of the flaw lead system near Banks Island and our broader understanding of climate change in the Arctic. This concept relies on both scientific findings of studies of the physical environment and the knowledge of the Inuvialuit who live in the region. Together, this information helps explain changes to the physical environment and the corresponding impacts on the marine ecosystem and the people. When these two ways of knowing converge, the result is far greater than simply the sum of the two parts. Both knowledge systems benefit independently from tapping a new resource, but together they combine to form an enhanced understanding of what warming in the Arctic means, and how it will impact the larger Canadian and circumpolar environment. In this way, this project has been advancing our understanding and approach to bringing together science and Traditional Knowledge of Indigenous peoples to study the environment together. This “Two Ways of Knowing” approach has been embodied by this sub-project, via the approach to its design and interactions with the other science activities under the larger CFL project. The goal of the CFL Team 10 research was to gather Traditional Knowledge from hunters and elders in the three northern communities that participated in the study - Ikaahuk (Sachs Harbour) Ulukhaktok, and Paulatuk. Team 10 was also tasked with finding out what information community members would like to gain from the scientists involved in the other nine projects of the study. (Au)

Change always has been a fact of life for people in the North (Nuttall, 2002). Since the 19th century, the social context of northern communities in Canada has changed from preindustrial nomadic and seminomadic lifestyles, through the centralized settlement of industrial resource exploitation in the mid-2Oth century (Liebow & Trudeau, 1962; Sandlos, 2007), to the mobile, interconnected globalized world of the present (Aarsaether, Riabova, & Baerenholdt, 2004; Ford & Smit, 2004). Issues of concerns today for Northern peoples are climate change, biomagnification of toxins, the erosion of traditional skills and knowledge, emerging intergenerational segregation, increasing dependence on technology, issues of self-government, and reliance on outside financial support (Berkes et al., 1995). Traditionally, Northern communities such as the Peawanuck First Nation at Weenusk (hereafter Weenusk) have demonstrated high levels of resilience in the face of such changes (George & Preston, 1987; Prevett, Lumsden, & Johnson, 1983). Today, however, the magnitude and rate of changes affecting socioecological systems are severely challenging the flexibility that has traditionally sustained Northern communities (Ohmagari, & Berkes, 1997; Young & Einarsson, 2004). A major challenge facing Weenusk and other Northern communities is how best to develop sustainable responses to these stressors so that the North can continue to be a place where people feel they can create economically viable and meaningful lives for themselves and their children. Northern Ontario has always prided and marketed itself as a wilderness area where wildlife and fishing abound. As some of these destinations have become more easily accessible, either through road development or improved mechanization (e.g., ATVs), the pursuit of game (e.g., fishing and hunting) has shifted further north. Remote First Nations in Ontario such as Weenusk have benefited from this northerly extension in recreationists' and especially tourists' ranges (Abraham & Keddy, 2005; Usher, 1993). Indeed, Weenusk is one of the few First Nations in Northern Ontario that has had the opportunity to diversify current wildlife tourism based on fishing and hunting to include polar bear viewing opportunities. While polar bears can be viewed in a number of protected areas throughout Northern Canada (Lemelin & Dyck, 2007), the opportunities to view a large number of polar bears in a natural environment, such as Polar Bear Provincial Park (PBPP), makes this location, and this particular activity, somewhat unique. This chapter focuses on analyzing tourism opportunities in Weenusk located in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, as a complex adaptive system. The contents of this chapter are relevant to the study of tourism in providing an enhanced understanding of: a) tourism as complex adaptive systems; b) tourism development systems in Northern communities; and c) tourism planning as a culturally sensitive negotiation process. First a literature overview of current thinking in complex adaptive systems as they apply to tourism is provided, followed by a description of Weenusk and current tourism opportunities offered in that community. Finally, a discussion and conclusion provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities facing wildlife tourism opportunities in this part of Canada and recommendations for the future development of wildlife tourism in the PBPP.

Behavior of belugas in the presence of whale-watching vessels in Churchill, Manitoba and recommendations for local beluga-watching activities   /   Malcolm, C.D.   Penner, H.C.

... The town of Churchill, Manitoba, located at the mouth of the Churchill River (Figure 4.1), has maintained an active ecotourism industry for several decades. From late May to the end of September visitors are able to view a component of the Western Hudson Bay beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) population that summers along the Manitoba coast of Hudson Bay, chiefly in the Churchill, Seal, and Nelson River estuaries (Richard, 1993; Richard, Orr, & Barber, 1990). Of these three estuarine concentrations, only the Churchill River is easily accessible to tourists at the present time. Tourists are typically able to view hundreds of belugas in a restricted area near the river mouth on a daily basis (Figure 4.2). There is currently no formal, voluntary code of ethics for commercial, vessel-based whale watching in Churchill. The industry is very small, with only two commercial companies that operate two motorized vessels, three six-person zodiacs, and several kayaks between them. However, as northern travel becomes increasingly accessible to the general public, it is reasonable to assume a growth in interest for commercial whale watching in Churchill, as well as other northern estuaries where belugas consistently congregate in summer. Given the unique nature of whale watching in Churchill (e.g., high numbers of animals concentrated in a restricted area and the geography of the river environment), the goal of this study was to determine appropriate vessel operation protocols that afford belugas protection from disturbance to critical life processes. Mindful of the variability observed in beluga reactions to motorized vessels, the research design incorporates both ecological and social aspects of whale watching in Churchill. Interviews with experienced local whale watch operators, beluga behavior in the presence of whale watching vessels, and mapping of areas of whale-watching vessel activity were included to inform both the proposed regulatory amendment and the development ofregional guidelines for whale-watching management in Churchill.

Nunavummiut, the Inuit people of Nunavut, have been exposed to unprecedented sociocultural, economic, political, and environmental change since the latter half of the 20th century (Nuttall, 1998; Nuttall & Callaghan, 2000), making change a normal state of being for the communities of Canada’s most northerly territory. However, it is the warming global climate that has thrust the Arctic and its residents into the international limelight. This is because the Arctic will experience the effects of a warming climate first, and more acutely, than anywhere else on earth (Arctic Climate Impact Assessment [ACIA], 2004). Although the long-term implications of climate change for Inuit only are partially known, many claim that changes to the Arctic environment are already threatening to undermine indigenous human rights (Nuttall, Forest, & Mathiesen, 2008). In this respect, global climate change is claimed to pose serious challenges for many aspects of northern life (Ford, Smit, & Wandel, 2006; Smit & Wandel, 2006). However, little is known about the implications of climate change for the continued development of tourism in the Canadian Arctic. This absence of research is a travesty for those residents in Nunavut who rely either wholly on tourism for their income or partially for supplementary income. It was largely the cold climate, ice, snow, wildlife, and indigenous people that attracted tourists to Nunavut in the first place (Stewart, Draper, & Johnston, 2005). Ironically, in light of a warming climate, now it appears that more tourists want to visit these polar landscapes before they are gone forever. The irony lies in the fact that long-haul air travel necessary to reach these remote Arctic locations means that tourists are contributing to the demise of the places they visit. Termed “last chance” tourism in the popular media, this rush to the Arctic may have important short-, medium and long-term consequences for tourism in Nunavut. However, the nature of wise consequences is poorly understood. Some commentators suggest that a warming may permit easier access (Furgal & Prowse, 2008), allowing “last chance” tourists to see icebergs and polar bears before it is too late, and providing Nunavut with opportunities to benefit economically, at least in the short to medium term. Other commentators are more cautious, indicating that climate change may be problematic and more variable for tourism in northern communities in the long term than was previously imagined (Stewart, Howell, Draper, Yackel, & Tivy, 2007). Despite the susceptibility to global climate change of both the tourism industry and the residents that tourism supports, there has been limited research incorporating resident attitudes about current and future tourism development in Nunavut. Using the concepts of social adaptation and vulnerability, this chapter presents a case study of resident attitudes toward tourism in two Nunavut communities. The chapter begins with a brief overview of these concepts and outlines how this perspective is useful in understanding tourism in light of the changing Arctic environment. This overview provides a basis for understanding the vulnerability of tourism across Nunavut in general, and specifically in the case study communities of Cambridge Bay and Pond Inlet. The ways in which residents of these two communities assess the current and future nature of tourism in their own localities is presented. (Au)

The academic study of tourism has become well established over the last few decades, leading to important developments in theory, policy, and practice in many disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Yet in an otherwise growing literature, authored monographs and edited volumes on tourism and the activities of tourists and tourism operators in the polar regions have, until recently, remained few and far between relative to the extensive work carried out in other regions of the globe. The gaps are gradually being filled in, however, and more scholars are turning their attention to tourism in the Arctic and Antarctic as both phenomenon and process. This cohesive and solid book, ably edited by Patrick Maher, Emma Stewart, and Michael Luck, makes a distinctive contribution to this emerging body of work by focusing on human, environmental, and governance issues, and by bringing together a group of scholars noted for the original empirical work they do on some of the most pressing issues surrounding tourism and its social, political, economic, and environmental dimensions. Tourism in the polar regions has undergone dramatic growth over the last decade or so, with both the Arctic and Antarctic becoming increasingly popular destinations. Areas that saw relatively few tourists 20 years ago are now experiencing a rapid rise in the seasonal appearance of sojourners, who mainly arrive during the summer months. Tourism is increasingly seen by regional and national authorities as an important aspect of economic development and is being readily encouraged. Greenland's government, for instance, made tourism one of three focus areas for its development strategy in 1991, and tourist numbers have risen 10-fold since then. The polar regions represent, in the public imagination at least, some of the last wilderness places left on earth. Marketed as remote, cold, pristine, and untouched, the Arctic and Antarctic promise to offer something different to the tourist in terms of experiencing extraordinary environments and, in the Far North, unique indigenous cultures. ... Global climate change ... adds a sense of urgency for those with dreams of traveling to the Arctic or Antarctic, and tour operators play on this by marketing their tours as something that people may not be able to experience once the snow vanishes, the ice shelves break up, and the ice sheets melt. This notion of “last chance tourism” is only beginning to be studied by the academic community (see Lemelin, Dawson, Stewart, Maher, & Luck, in press). There is growing global interest in the polar regions, and both the Arctic and Antarctic have moved to the center of debate about global environmental change, global warming, sovereignty, resource development, and the sustainability of indigenous and local livelihoods. How will tourism develop in these parts of the world in the future? The chapters in this volume contribute to debates in basic and applied approaches to the study of tourism, but they speak specifically to the importance of research into the possible environmental, economic, and cultural impacts of tourism and appropriate management structures and policies that need to be adopted if tourism in the polar regions is to develop into something that can occur in the best interests of communities, wildlife, and the environment.

Telling stories is a traditional way of communicating important messages for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people across Canada. The stories in this publication highlight successful projects that have received a funding contribution from the current Climate Change Programs at Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). It is hoped that the stories in this publication will raise awareness in other communities about the steps that are being taken to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It is also hoped that these stories will inspire change in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities across the country to take action on climate change and energy issues. (Au)

This report provides a summary of the results from the Adult Inuit Health Survey: Health in Transition and Resiliency conducted in Nunatsiavut in 2008. BACKGROUND: Nunatsiavummiut have expressed a desire to have health information that is of practical relevance so that informed decisions can be made in the face of the rapid changes that are affecting all dimensions of life in Arctic communities. In response to these concerns, a multifaceted participatory health research project for those 18 years of age and above was developed and undertaken in 5 communities in Nunatsiavut in 2008. The goal of the survey was to obtain an overview of the health status and living conditions of Nunatsiavummiut. FUNDING: Funding for this project was received from the Government of Canada's Program for International Polar Year, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Health Canada, University of Toronto, Indian and Northern Affairs and ArcticNet. ETHICS APPROVAL: All work was approved by McGill's Institutional Review Board and the Nunatsiavut Steering Committee. RESULTS: A total of 239 households and 310 individuals participated. Home environment: 60% of the participants lived in private housing. Many homes were in need of major repairs. Families with children experienced overcrowding. Language: English was reported as the dominant language spoken in Nunatsiavut homes. Smoking: The majority of homes in Nunatsiavut had smokers. Food insecurity: Food insecurity was a problem in homes in Nunatsiavut; unemployment, low income and high food costs were the main reasons for food insecurity. Country food and food sharing: Food sharing networks were strong and the majority of households shared their country food with others in their community. About 25% of households preferred country food. Cost of living: Participants spent more money on food and shelter than other Canadian households. HEALTH: Self-reported health: Over 70% of participants reported their health to be good, very good or excellent. Reported family health: Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and high cholesterol were common health problems for parents and siblings of participants. Participants' health history: Very few participants reported having been told by a health professional they had heart disease or had had a stroke but diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and high cholesterol were common health problems. Physical activity: In the week prior to the survey, 86% of participants walked on average on days for at least 20 minutes. Smoking: At the time of the survey smoking was very common among participants. Education: 54% of participants completed secondary school. Personal income and employment: The main source of income was work related and 39% of participants had full-time employment. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Weight: The majority of participants were classified as overweight or obese. The majority of women had an “at-risk” waist circumference. Blood lipids: The majority of participants had healthy lipid levels. Blood pressure: The majority of participants had high blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (honey-sweet): 8% of participants had a fasting glucose level that was too high and 8% had a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test with a glucose level that was too high, suggesting either pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes. NUTRITION: Country food: Older participants (=> 40 years of age) ate more country food than younger participants (< 40 years of age). Market food: Almost 75% of adults reported consuming pop in the month prior to the survey and they reported drinking 2-3 cans of soft drink per day. Folate: Folate in red blood cells showed adequate levels for women of reproductive age. Iron Status and Anemia: Iron deficiency is more common among women, especially younger women. Vitamin D: The majority of Nunatsiavummiut need more vitamin D. PARASITIC DISEASES AND HELICOBACTER PYLORI: Parasitic diseases: Parasitic diseases are not common in Nunatsiavut.

This report provides a summary of the results from the Adult Inuit Health Survey: Health in Transition and Resiliency conducted in Nunavut in 2007 and 2008. BACKGROUND: Nunavummiut have expressed a desire to have health information that is of practical relevance so that informed decisions can be made in the face of the rapid changes that are affecting all dimensions of life in Arctic communities. In response to these concerns, a multifaceted participatory health research project for those 18 years of age and above was developed and undertaken in 25 communities in Nunavut in 2007 and 2008. The goal of the survey was to obtain an overview of the health status and living conditions of Nunavummiut living in Nunavut.

... 2.0 How To Use The Best Management Practices and Regulatory Guide: The Guide has four parts, plus appendices. Each part of the Guide is designed as a stand-alone document to provide information and references on the following: - Regulatory requirements, - Project planning, - Best Management Practices for exploration activities, and the - Permit application process. Part 1 - Legal and Regulatory: The Legal and Regulatory part provides an overview of the legislation that directly applies to exploration, from grass roots projects to advanced exploration activities in Yukon. The purpose, key provisions, responsible government agency and contact information is provided for each Act. This part is intended to provide an overview only. More detailed information on each of these Acts and related regulations can be obtained by following the links provided in Appendix X: References and Resources. Part 2 - Project Planning: The purpose of Part 2 is to provide information to help plan an exploration project in Yukon. It presents an overview of project management, community engagement and environmental baseline studies for more advanced projects. This part also deals with the question of when one should start baseline studies during an exploration project. Part 3 - Best Management Practices for Mineral and Coal Exploration Activities ... presents Best Management Practices (BMP) for exploration activities that range from grassroots regional prospecting and claim staking through to advanced stage exploration. Under each activity, the appropriate provisions of the applicable regulations, along with the activity intensity thresholds between various approvals or permits are included as a quick reference to help determine the type of land use approval that will be required by the operator prior to starting the work. For each exploration activity the following information is provided: - General: overview of the activity, where possible given in lay terms intended for a general audience and to give some context to many of the technical terms in the BMP sections. - Legislation: a discussion of the required permits, approvals or licences for the particular activity on various types of land that might be encountered, and the thresholds between classes of approval. - Potential Effects: a summary of the potential environmental and socio-economic effects that are commonly encountered in relation to the activity. - Best Management Practices: a range of practices designed specifically to minimize or prevent potential adverse environmental and socio-economic effects that may result from that particular activity. - References: a list of links for additional regulatory or best practice information is provided at the end of each section. Part 4 - Exploration Land Use Approval Process ... deals with the question: "Now that I understand what permits and approvals I likely require, how do I go about obtaining them?" This section provides an overview of the interaction between the environmental and socio-economic assessment and regulatory approval processes. Links are provided to existing documents that explain the application process in detail and give some tips on how to optimize the efficiency of moving a project through the assessment and approval processes. Appendices: The appendices contain tables outlining permit requirements and regulatory thresholds, and a comprehensive contact list for government agencies and First Nations. Also included in the appendices is information on permafrost, fish and wildlife, spill contingency planning, archaeological and historic sites, and check lists to help plan for exploration activities.

The Nunavut Inuit Child Health Survey was conducted in 2007 and 2008. The survey was planned by a steering committee with members representing NTI, NAM, the GN Health and Social Services, the University of Toronto and was led by the Centre for Indigenous Peoples' Nutrition and Environment (C1NE) at McGill University. The goal of the survey was to obtain an overview of the health status and living conditions of preschool Inuit children living in Nunavut. A total of 388 preschool-aged children 3-5 years of age from 16 communities in Nunavut participated in the Inuit Child Health Survey. Because of costs, all communities couldn't be included. The following communities participated in the child health survey: Arviat, Baker Lake, Cambridge Bay, Chesterfield, Clyde River, Coral Harbor, Igloolik, Iqaluit, Kimmirut, Kugaaruk, Kugluktuk, Pangnirtung, Pond Inlet, Rankin Inlet, Sanikiluaq, Whale Cove. The evaluation included growth and weight, vision, a blood test for weak blood (anemia) and vitamin D levels, bone health, health histories, mercury in hair, and a household questionnaire on smoking, crowding, and having enough food to eat. The findings presented in this report represent the observed (unweighted) prevalence of conditions. The research team included a nutritionist, bilingual research assistant, lab specialist, and in 2007 a bilingual Inuk nurse and in 2008 a nurse with considerable northern experience. (Au)

... SUMMARY. In the years 1973-1975 the fish populations of the inshore waters in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the offshore waters of the southern Beaufort Sea, were investigated from shore camps, the M/V Salvelinus and the M/V Theta. Gill-nets, seines, bottom trawls, and midwater trawls were used to obtain specimens. The most abundant fish in the Tuktoyaktuk vicinity were Coregonus autumnalis, C. clupeaformis, C. nasus, C. sardinella, Stenodus leucichthys and Osmerus mordax. All exhibit varying degrees of anadromy in arctic waters and all disperse widely during their stay in coastal waters. Several marine forms were found within the influence of the Mackenzie River but only Clupea harengus pallasii contributed notably to native fish catches. In the offshore waters, juveniles of Boreogadus saida were found to be the most abundant species in the upper water layers down to at least 16 m. ... The objectives of this study were to describe in general terms the seasonal distribution of the more important freshwater and marine species of fish and to determine the biological and environmental factors responsible for the distribution. ...
