The Municipality of the Corporation of Baker Lake (the Hamlet), with support from the Government of Nunavut (GN) received funding from Transport Canada (TC) under the Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) for the construction of the sealift and laydown area (the Project) in the Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut. Worley Canada Services Ltd., operating as Worley Consulting, has been retained by the Hamlet to design and support the construction of the sealift and laydown area in the Hamlet of Baker Lake (the Project). Dynamic Ocean Consulting Ltd. (Dynamic Ocean) is supporting Worley Consulting on the permitting requirements for the Project. The Project is within municipal boundaries and will require a resolution by the Hamlet Council once the design is finalized. Council has accepted the design in concept. The Project is consistent with the community’s land use and zoning plan and the land is already appropriately zoned. The Project will not require additional infrastructure to be developed for a haul road or quarry, as existing Hamlet infrastructure will be utilized. Aggregates that are imported to the site will be taken from either the quarry site, approximately six kilometres (km) north of the Hamlet along the road to Agnico Eagle Meadowbank (AEM) or the gravel pit to the west of the Hamlet, both of which are within the municipal boundaries. Construction is planned to begin in summer 2025 and is expected to take approximately four months to complete, over a period of 124 days. Construction is expected to occur daily over a 10-hour period. The Project is expected to be operational in the open-water season of 2026.  Letters of support from the community are attached.
