  8. Rankin Inlet Airport Expansion • $27 Million • Expansion will include the Runway and Staging Area for the Aircrafts • This will add an additional access point to the runway from the Airport • Creation of Construction Jobs

  9. Men’s Correctional Facility • Openinglate October 2012 • 48 beds (in-mate capacity) • 45 staff • 15 casual staff

  13. Nunavut-ManitobaAll Weather Road System • Connecting Manitoba Highway System in Sundance (MB) to Churchill, Rankin Inlet, and four other communities in the Kivalliq Region • Total Length: 1,475 km • Tremendous amount of construction and engineering to be done providing large amount of employment opportunity for Nunavummiut • Annual Maintenance Cost estimated between $7-10 million • Need for more services will increase including gas stations, restaurants, service stations, etc.

  14. Nunavut-ManitobaAll Weather Road System • Business Case Reviewed by the Government in Nunavut in March 2012 • MB and NU will present finding to Federal Government in an effort to secure further funding for the project. • Proposed to be built in 3 phases over 14 years. • Phase 1 – Arviat to Rankin Inlet • Phase 2 – Chester Field Inlet to Baker Lake • Phase 3 – Arviat through to Churchill

  15. Nunavut-ManitobaAll Weather Road System

  16. Deep Sea Port Project

  17. Deep Sea Port Facility • Ships tend to anchor about half-mile off shore outside the barrier islands and use a barge system to and from ship because Rankin Inlet doesn’t have adequate marine facilities. • Ships have tugs and flat barges which they use to transport goods back and forth costing companies between $60-80,000/day. • All freight comes through Itivia Site with Fuel coming through Johnsons Cove

  18. Port Location Options

  19. Deep Sea Port Facility • New Marine Facilities will have ships coming in shown as Survey Point • Site is well protected and offers an easier access for ship arrival and departure. • In case of emergency, this site is closer from the exit point • This is also the preferred site for the shipping companies • There is a lot of cargo landing spaces and potential tank farm area • Finally, the Survey Point is a secure place for the community.

  20. Deep Sea Port Facility • The floating wharf has been designed to receive a ship about 140 meters long, which corresponds to the biggest sealift ship of NSSI and NEAS going into the Kivalliq Region • The savings for the sealift companies can be transferred into the financing of the port for the Hamlet through harboring fees

  21. Deep Sea Port Facility • Logistic Savings • Decrease in unload time for sealift boats from approximately 8 days to 3 days) • Sealift companies will not require staff to be flown in to unload the boat (estimated to 5 men @1000$/day + flight tickets) • Easier and Safer fuel transfer from boat to shore decreasing overall environmental risk

  22. Deep Sea Port Facility Outcomes • Provide safer, cheaper and faster sealift/stevedoring services. • Create new and welcome infrastructure for industrial and non-industrial usage • Local social and economic development (Employment opportunities and building local expertise) • Create an opportunity for increased fishing in the area (larger vessels) • Strengthening Long Term Business Relationships with other communities in the Kivalliq Region and Nunavut • Undertake public investments establishing Nunavummiut as self-sustaining • Greater Establishment of Canada’s Presence in the Arctic

  23. Deep Sea Port Facility • P3 Partnership – Partnership between the Public and Private Sectors. • Port Cost: approximately $20 million • Jobs Created (Port Specific): 10 - 15 • Anticipated Completion Date: August 2013

  24. Deep Sea Port Facility:Agnico Eagle • Port should be ready for beginning of Agnico Eagle’s Construction phase in 2013. • During the construction phase of the mine, over the next 3 years, Agnico Eagle will be able to receive 3-5 dedicated sealifts approximately 55,000 tons per year • During the operation phase of the mine, they will receive 2-3 dedicated sealifts of approximately 45,000 tons per year

  25. Meliadine Mine Project
