West Kitikmeot Resources Corp. (WKR) has submitted the Impact Statement for the Grays Bay Road and Port Project to the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB), marking a major milestone in the project’s ongoing review under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement and the Nunavut Project Planning and Assessment Act. Prepared in accordance with NIRB’s community-informed guidelines, the Impact Statement integrates Inuit Knowledge, Community Knowledge, Indigenous Knowledge, and western science across 11 volumes and more than 5,000 pages, assessing ecosystemic and socio‑economic effects. The analysis concludes that, with proposed mitigation, management, and enhancement measures, any remaining project or cumulative effects are predicted to be not significant. Pending NIRB approval following public review, the project would receive a Project Certificate outlining required conditions, after which WKR would pursue remaining authorizations needed for construction and operations. The full Impact Statement submitted to the NIRB as of March 1st is available for download in the links below.
