The Government of Nunavut, Department of Community and Government Service (GN-CGS) is planning the construction of a Community Harbour in the Hamlet of Resolute Bay, Nunavut (the Project). Worley Canada Services Ltd., operating as Worley Consulting (Worley), has been retained by the GN-CGS to support the detailed design of a Community Harbour in Resolute Bay (the Project). Dynamic Ocean Consulting Ltd (Dynamic Ocean) is supporting Worley on the permitting requirements for the Project. A feasibility phase of the Project was undertaken from 2019 to 2022, with the detailed design phase initiating in Spring 2024. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA), the GN, and the Government of Canada has resulted from the creation of the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area (TI NMCA) and was signed in the summer of 2021. The purpose of this agreement is to recognize that marine infrastructure is connected to community wellbeing as well as economic and social development. With funding from the Government of Canada, the Project aims to address the marine infrastructure deficit in Resolute Bay. The permanent components of the Project include the construction of a new breakwater, dredging of a harbour basin and entrance channel, a boat launch ramp, laydown and storage area(s), small craft floats, access roadways, slope protection, and area and navigational lighting. Project supporting components required during construction include a quarry and haul road. The haul road and quarry will remain in place following construction, where the quarry may be transferred to the Hamlet following completion of the Project. Several field studies have been undertaken in 2019 and 2024 to support determination of existing environmental conditions. A drilling program was undertaken in the summer of 2024 and a second program will be undertaken in the spring of 2025 to inform geotechnical requirements for the detailed design. Project construction is scheduled to initiate in 2026 and be substantially completed in 2029. In water construction works at the harbour location will occur during the open-water season, while work at the quarry and adjacent areas may extend before and after the open-water season. Community consultations have been ongoing since the feasibility study and are designed to ensure that residents, hunters, fishers, and stakeholders are consulted using a variety of methods and materials. To date, seven community consultation visits have been conducted since 2018, including: meetings with the Hamlet, the Nauttiqsuqtiit (guardians), and local QIA representatives; design workshops with the Resolute Bay Hunters and Trappers’ Association; Inuit knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit [IQ]) workshops with elders and active hunters; and a community open house. The community has been very engaged in the Project and has provided valuable input into the harbour design concepts on numerous occasions. Meaningful consultation will be continued throughout the ‘life cycle’ of the Project, including during the detailed design and construction phases. Letters of support from the community are attached.
